I used to build 11 capital ships simultaneously for personal profit but took a break when they made the changes to industry. I am considering coming back, however, It seems my previous method for tracking builds (Dedaffs Industrial Tool excel spreadsheet) is no longer being supported. I am curious to know what is the current standard tool for industralists building multiple capital ships simultaneously? The big thing I liked about Dedafs industrial tool was it told me exactly how much of each base mineral I would need for the overall build (for the components for all 11 capitals) so when I went to the trade hub I only had to put in the number and buy that much, stuff it in a few freighters and haul it back. I also liked that you could put in manual pricing for each unit and it would automatically calculate cost for the build and post projected profit. Is there anything out there currently that would make a good replacement?

Anywho, I should probably not make forum posts at 3 in the morning, I seem to ramble. , TL:DR, returning industralist discovers his former method of tracking capital manufacturing (Dedafs Industrial Tool Spreadsheet) is no longer being developed and is looking for a new tool to assist in upcoming manufacturing builds in this new and strange industry system;.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Well, before Crius I would have said "try IskPerHour". The current development build is working, haven't had any crashes so far, but I'm rarely using it nowadays.
Manufacturing has become more complicated in some fields, and I get the feeling the devs of IPH try to stuff as many information into the existing masks and views as possible, resulting in a less well arranged view. But that is just my opinion.

I think the biggest problem with industry tools these days is factoring in multiple lines of the same blueprint for parallelizing and the resulting calculation of material efficiency, especially when you use a POS array (and since you build caps, you probably do this for the components). Most tools I have seen are not capable of this feature (IPK is afaik, but I'm not sure if the calculation is done correctly), resulting in inaccurate amounts for required materials.

Still, if you can get used to it, IPH is my best suggestion right now.

I made a spreadsheet specifically dedicated to this kind of activities :) Give it a look !

eve isk per hour is the only tool you need. it got a job tracker the other day and is pretty much complete now
