How much will your ship cost you?
Everybody has their own "best" ship class, ship form (Expedition, Cargo or Adventure), Ship Skills and so on...
But when it comes to COST, everybody agrees that the best cost is the MINIMUM cost.
Do you know how to make a cheaper ship?
Will overmodding be cheaper?
Will the use of premium/free FS parts result in a cheaper ship?
Truth is... Nobody knows and never will... without careful planning. Why?
- Because prices changes all the time.
- Because SSIPs and FS Parts are scarce or unavailable.
So there are no hard rules here. You need to know what is available and how much they cost (In another words, plan it).
This was an uninmaginable amount of work for any mortal being... Until now.
UST now includes a built-in cost estimator that allows you to see the cost "on the fly".
Edit your blueprint and see how it affects the cost, in real time!
Best of all, it comes with an editable FS parts price list. Look, it's DEAD SIMPLE to use:
Just choose the parts and UST will automatically calculate all the costs for you:
- How much SSIPS will cost
- How much FS Parts will cost
- How much each improvement will cost
- And Ship skills, Fusion/grading...
Speed monster?
There are many ships that look good "on paper" but are as slow "as galleons". So, have you ever asked yourself:
- Is this ship good?
- Is it fast?
In fact, many great ships were overlooked and underrated because most people do not know how fast they were!
Users can now build, share and compare their blueprints with great ease because UST gives every ship three ratings:
[##fa-check##] You can now compare different ship types, sizes, grades and mods!
Should I use more SSIPs or UWC parts?
No more guessing around. Save BILLIONS of ducats.
[##fa-check##] You can now test and figure out what is the cheapest for you!
People would pay a ridiculously high amount of money for slow ships and sell their fast ships for pennies to RESELLERs. In fact, Resellers would often trick people to believe in their "market price" and ignore objective performance indicators (like speed).
Ship's speed assessment is more important than ever since the Order of the Prince update.
As not all ships will have the same amount of improvements, it is not sufficient to know which ship ticket/fresh is faster.
Luckly there is UST again to help you automatically calcule ship speed and make informed decisions.
No problem for UST's user!
Overmodding
Order of the prince update has brought unlimitted modding.No problem for UST's user!
Ultimate Shipbuilding Tool's goal
UST (the Ultimate Shipbuilding Tool) is designed to make modding planning a piece of cake.Users can now build, share and compare their blueprints with great ease because UST gives every ship three ratings:
1 - Speed Score
Speed score is a measure of your ship's resulting speed and will tell you if what you are doing is actually improving your ship's speed. You can even add your ship parts to evaluate your total speed![##fa-check##] You can now compare different ship types, sizes, grades and mods!
2 - Least Cost Planning
Least Cost Planning will help you get your dream ship with the least amount of ducats.
Should I use more SSIPs or UWC parts?
No more guessing around. Save BILLIONS of ducats.
[##fa-check##] You can now test and figure out what is the cheapest for you!

FAQ
What is UST (Ultimate Shipbuilding Tool)?
UST is an online tool for shipbuilders and ship lovers to image their dream ship before spending money and time on it. No download required.
Why was it created?
The UST project was started because current tools were either outdated or incorrect (or both). In fact, other useful tools were discontinued by its creators (like uwotool.com and uwoplace.com).
Yes you heard it right, incorrect. Unfortunately Papaya is changing ship's base status so most previous knowledge about ships are not applicable to Maris Server.
It's very useful, I approved... my concerns
ReplyDeleteVarious ships were with wrong limits (MLMS, Ref. Zeehaen, INL), It's not a huge problem but we should double check always.
Double-Acting Cylinder, Separate Condenser or any other FS steam part isn't avaliable.
Thanks for your review Alfredo!
DeleteI'll add those parts in the next update. Regarding the limits I'm still studying how to address it as Koei made it unnecessarily complex by having ship class specific limits / penalties.
