I made a ship list for v4.6.17 -- wow there's lots of ships now, 416 including the "reboot" shuttles. I dig the new Harbinger Carrier Mk2, and I notice there's lots of aliens I haven't encountered yet. Attachments:

Has anyone noticed that the poor Cadar shuttle is not at all like you'd expect for a military shuttle. It's the ONLY shuttle that has no guns! Even Steel Song (aka cannon fodder) has the ability to use the shuttle as more than a battering-ram.
I know I know ... shuttles are really only last-resort type ships ... or ships you use to get to another planet's drydock ... or when you are feeling particularly masochistic and want to take on half the quadrant fleet with the smallest piece of metal you can wrap around yourself. BUT shuttles are not fast - so can be overtaken with ease. Whilst Cadar torps are the absolute best in class, they are not very effective at medium or short range, so when you see a Steel Scimitar move to close range, and a hoard of 120 odd disgruntled Steel Song marines growling at you across the short expanse of void, all you can do is the finger. That, and strap those 3 remaining torpedoes you have onto your crew's back so they can do their duty as anti-personnel mines.
I therefore must petition the Cadar autharitah, to add some more offensive power to Cadar shuttles. After all, what are Cadar if they can't be offensive?

I notice some ships are duplicated; for example, Narvidian Hive is listed under both Aliens and Hulks. I left those in because that's how it is in ShipCatalog. I made it by decompiling the APK and copy/pasting the code for ShipCatalog and ShipModel to a C# project, then used a component to generate the spreadsheet. I'm testing the component, so this looked like a good test case. <Shameless plug> www.componentone.com/SuperProducts/SpreadWPFSilverlight/</ShamelessPlug> I did find a bug; the Cost column is supposed to be formatted as currency. I can post the project if anyone's interested (but you'd need to download the trial for the component to build it, and have Visual Studio 2010, and I figure nobody here's interested), and if Cory gives the okay (since it contains some of his code).

I notice some ships are duplicated; for example, Narvidian Hive is listed under both Aliens and Hulks. The Catalog membership is intentional. This duplicate name causes the Narvidian Hive to appear with both Alien and Hulk AI and cargo distribution. So if you run into the Narvidian Hive it could either be an Alien AI packed with weapons and deadly combat skills or a Chaotic Merchant AI packed with Records, Weapons, Electronics and Weapons. With the N-Hive, you just don't know.
