Tools:

Fight simulators: Used to predict the results of a battle

Dragosim. an online calculator that helps predict your chances of winning a battle, and how profitable it may be.
http://drago-sim.com/index.php?lang=english

Speedsim. similar to Dragosim, except it's a downloadable program, and generally considered to be more accurate.
http://www.speedsim.net/eng

*** SPEEDSIM IS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE... no idea how reliable it is, it seems to have more limited computing power. fleets involving hundreds of ships have sometimes come up as too big. but still, very handy...
http://websim.speedsim.net/

Raksim. used specifically to calculate the damage of IPMs (inter-planetary missiles)
http://www.darksteel.altervista.org/missili/eng/missili.html

Combat Report Converters: Pasted combat reports look ugly. Used to format combat reports to bbcode.

Takana's CR converter.
http://www.takanacity.com/

Hori's CR converter.
http://cr.hori.maori.nz/

TBog's Beta CR Converter.
http://tbog.romania-ogame.org/CRconv/


Ogame Zipper CR Converter
http://www.ozipper.net/

Shaede's CR Converter (Offline, Downloadable program)
http://midgetsmurfs.com/



Cost Calculators: Used to calculate the costs of pretty much anything you can spend resources on.

Ogame-Calculator.
http://www.o-calc.com/

Takana's Cost Calculator.
http://www.takanacity.com/



Alliance Tools

Galaxietool. For sharing info on our alliances common enemies. Also handy for storing those espionage reports once they've been deleted from your messages list in ogame. It also offers stats functions, allowing you to read in the stats from ogame and search for the ranked players without having to trawl through the pages etc... in short, if it's used it's very handy.

Our alliance's database is found here. However email verification is not working, so i have to create your accounts manually. PM me if you want me to set you up one.

Where to go if you experience an in-game problem:

Universe 27 Game-Operator (GO): If you're being spammed, harassed, insulted, bashed, etc., or you want to set up a moon shot with another player, or multiple users on the same IP etc, then you need to contact your GO. Also if you find yourself banned, the GO is the first port of call.
darkangel18_ogame@hotmail.com

Universe 27 Super Game-Operator (SGO):
If your GO doesn't reply within 48 hours, or you are dissatisfied with their response then contact you're SGO.
jalna@myyrrhn.fsnet.co.uk

*note: if you experience a bug, check its not a known bug first. If it is, nothing can really be done about it. If it is not, simply post in the bugs and complaints section of the ogame boards  and you will be told what to do by the board mods (if anything can be done).

**note: If your being spammed/insulted/threatened report some of the messages, 3 - 5 and then send the GO an email describing the extent of the problem.



This list is not exhaustive, its just what i can remember right now. Feel free to post any more online links, resources, etc. in this thread. i'll edit this first post to include them.

found another CR converter if you find takana's doesn't work...

Remember to use the CR converters. convert the report to BBcode, and post the preview
