   Hi, folks. Just found the group from rho and i'm astounded. You're awesome.   
      
   I've been worldbuilding for a while and I figured (since i want to be as   
   accurate as possible) that I want precision on everything.   
      
   I've since started a Great Spreadsheet to automatically calculate everything   
   you may need to know about space warfare to worldbuild.   
      
   Things I want it to have are:   
      
   - Sensor capabilities (detection threshold) and ranges (detection,   
   identification and targeting), including optical telescopes, near-IR scopes,   
   far-IR scopes, anomaly detectors (such as a MAD), x-ray scopes, gamma ray   
   non-focused scopes, active and    
   passive RADAR and LIDAR, etc.   
      
   - Projectile weapon systems with precise muzzle velocity and kinetic energy,   
   and energy cost in case of railguns   
      
   - Energy weapon systems with precise energy measurements.   
      
   - Ship propulsion types with precise specific impulse, energy output, IR   
   emission, etc.   
      
   - Other things, many other things.   
      
   Anyone ever done that? It sounds like a very useful thing.
