Ship Design Assistant

[Davin]

BTW, if you download the GTac Assistant program, it comes with a ship designer assistant screen, too.  But this one is friendlier and easier to use than the one on the web site since you don't have to click on the button and interact with the web server on every tentative change.  Thus, it can remind you of movement limitations and the cost of engines (and total size and other such factors) every time you make a change to your ship's plan, so it's more obvious what's being affected by your choices.

Since ships are designed using 9 different parameters in almost unlimited combinations, being able to see the details of what you're cooking up while you're typing is very handy.
