Ooooo... Monsieur is a connoisseur of the fine arts hey!
I always like to have my High Energy Focus and Achilles Targeting Unit work in tandem! Do wonders!

Plus heavy auto fire disruptors.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Well.. I personally favor Mauler Device... But I guess it's personal thing!

As to your game, since I have been there and done that already[^], how about a somewhat wacky weapon?
It's a gravity weapon that does more damage the bigger the target is. Tiny fighters take only little damage from it, while huge dreadnaughts suffer severe damage to their structure. At the beginning huge ships would have been extremely hard to kill. Later in the game a small fleet of agile smaller ships could beat them, especially with such weapons. It's also quite hard to point huge guns at a small agile target. Bigger is not always better.

That reminds me of the black hole gun in Saints Row 4

Yes, but it's an extra that you can install only once. It barely makes an impact compared to some kind of cannon of which you can install as many as you can squeeze in. To little to reverse the bigger is better philosophy. The game is built around that. Just look at the command points a little scout costs compared to a titan or death star.

The two ARE related: at a conference when Fermi was talking about the "Pauli's neutrons" someone asked if these are the same as Chadwick's neutrons and Fermi said "No, no, Pauli's neutrons are much smaller; they are just tiny neutrinos."
Anyone who has ever shoot a neutron blaster knows it is much heavier than the neutrino blaster. The second one you can even keep it in your pocket everywhere in the Galaxy where concealed weapons are allowed.
As for the neutrino scanner, this is not used anymore because the image is too faint.

I started this morning by accidentally reverting over an hour of work.
Took me 1.5 hours to get it back (And by "getting" I mean writing teh codez).
It's not my worst nightmare, but it ain't no dream either!

Decaf = decaffeinated coffee
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

That is highly illogical.

Yes! It makes no sense that people drink decaf! The whole point of coffee is the caffeine!

dip some bread with fat free butter spread in it for best effect!

According to this The Insider News - Coffee is a Health Drink, even decaf is good for you, just not as good as the real stuff.

Well, I have had some nice fresh ground beans coffee this morning so sometimes life is not all that bad, even on Mondays.
Krups, and undoubtedly many other brands do make some nice coffee machines. Long live technology!

Don't shoot! Hold a second!
I just need cod3z, urgent$, pleeeea$e!
Nah, the long story is I am making some pen and paper table top RPG rule for spaceship that are a copy of Master of Orion 2 spaceship design rules.
It's a bit involved to calculate the overall cost of the ship, or the current payload, or the cost and space of each device....
And I thought, hey, how about I make an Excel spreadsheet for that?
But.. OMG... Excel is so wordy, I am crying, give me C#
And then again I thought.. hey, perhaps I should make an app for that?
But then, I want to share my work with some non computer savvy RPG enthusiast.. and some random .exe on the internet might rightfully raise some worries...
A phone app it's awkward, I will have to publish it, yada.. but even so, how do you get it in your word document hey?
A website, I will have to setup one, gah...
Any suggestion?
Right now I am thinking, perhaps I could make a 1 page spa, perhaps even Blazor app!
Though I don't want no database and sh*t, but I got all those excel table / tabular data, gotta be a pain to import in the app... :/
Maybe I could use C# 9 record with big constructors...? mmm....
And.. mmm... all the example I found were for Razor Web App... any link / tip for Blazor SPA (i.e. no server side setup...)

A website via Github Pages, maybe?

Oo.. I dunno that I will have to investigate!
Ta!

Allow me to be the jerk that asks if you're making an app for it why not just make the whole game on a computer? *hides*
Seriously though, is it possible to simplify the calculations, or maybe produce a chart for it or something? My first thought is KISS, but then I don't want to pee in anyone's wheaties rain on anyone's parade either.
If you really must produce an app for someone to consume a website is best, set up hassle or not. It goes back to the above. At the end of the day your game is complicated. Welcome to the complications.

Mmm... table top pen and paper RPG are to video game what bicycle are to spaceship.. they are both modes of transportation but... one will bring you the neighborhood and the other to the moon...
More particularly, beyond having a common lore, and both being entertainment, they have little in common!
Yeah... might make a Blazor WASM app for fun and host it on my personal vacuous web site!
