My fleetnames could come from my own fleet report of course. need to check if they are unique (or decode that hint block)
Bah - they can't, When I rename a fleet I don't keep the ID at the end - and the fleet ID isn't exported, just the name.

Thinking outside SAH for a moment - the ability to open someone else's file is very dangerous - and not detectable by analysis of x files.
At SAH we are OK, because we can't access each others files. But there are other places to play, and we wouldn't want to break other communities.
That's the risk of the crypto code going wild.
OTOH I recall someone saying that the crypto wasn't particularly secure - so there is a level of "difficulty" which people have to overcome before they can exploit this, and whether a closed source module (because the crypto would have to be) would significantly lower than bar is questionable.

Indeed. Though "lucky streaks" can be detected and studied too.
Still, it makes sense for all communities to protect file access.
The problem is that indeed, the crypto is far from unbreakable, and nobody knows how many exploits are out there "in the wild" already.
If it was my task to fix the problem, I'd upgrade the lock and stop worrying about possible old keys laying around. In other words, get the necessary framework up for thorough m-file & x-file cleansing, de-bugging, sanitizing, and cheat-stomping.
So many Stars, so few Missiles!

I have two versions of the tool and I can't remember which one is the current one?
In the Designs output file one has columns for BuiltCount & Remaining Count and the other doesn't, which is the current release?
Also in the Designs output file(both versions) the Category0 to 15 data goes like 0,1,2,4,8,16.....4096, I would think it should be 0 to 12. I can use
"IF Category# > 2 then Category# = INT(LOG(Category#, 2))" to convert it as it is. (using simple code here, I'm using C# to code).
The two version also handles empty multiuse slots differently with one the category is '0' and the BuiltCount one is '6144'.
Thank you
Edit: I'm building a Fuel calculator with planet/fleet selector for X:Y and changes in the size of the cargo during multi turn trips & automate the Attractiveness calculator.
Edit2. It looks like the with 'BuildCount' is the current version, 1 sept 2013.
