PaulCr has made quite a sophisticated battlesim that uses the m-files/f-files.

But to be honest, I find it unbelievable boring to do battlesims with Stars or other tools. Especially since the battle-engine includes, well, let's call it a thrilling randomizing factor.

So what I usually do is to use pencil, paper and my calculator and I try to emulate the worst case scenario: enemy ships moving exactly right, my ships completly stupid, if initiative is even I always assume that my ships fire last (or first if it would be better to shoot last) and so on.

After having an overview, I assess the risks and then I decide wether I am in the mood to play it safe or risky.
