To all those that supported and used these charts:
I have enjoyed making these charts & contributing to the passion of this community. It's what's tied me to this game (in an unofficial capacity) and I've always looked at this project as a "labor of love." But moving forward, I don't think I can give the attention needed to continue making this resource - at least not in the capacity that everyone using it deserves. I used to keep track of the dev blogs and listen to podcasts, anticipating new ships as they came out (often showing on the shipcharts with "placeholders"). I was usually on tribble with the test ships AS SOON as they were available; those that weren't on Tribble, I'd beg others for screenshots of the latest and greatest ship. With time constraints on me and working two jobs just to make ends meet, I really don't think I can continue, no matter how much I wish I could. If it was a paid gig, then yeah! bring it on! but, as I said, it's always been a "labor of love" and sometimes, love just isn't enough. *sad panda*
Don't want to leave on a sad note though... I again want to thank everyone who's supported this project and gave me encouragement. Working on something like this for the better part of 2 years is a commitment I have enjoyed and held proudly. It's our love of Star Trek & it's ideals that unites us all - as a community and through our humanity, and I've learned so much through doing this for everyone.

Featured on the following websites:
While this forum will always be the best place to find the latest versions of the charts & the best place to leave me feedback, I thought it would be cool to link to sites that feature these charts.
According to Al in the latest Priority One podcast, 'Fleet Escorts' are been renamed 'Patrol Escorts', so they don't get confused with the new Fleet ships, just so ya know :-)
Also, according to Al, they are adding 45 new ships with the fleet system, including retrofits of almost all ships 'above' tier 1 :-)
Fantastic charts. Do you have the images for the Stalker Fighter? If not I do.
Also the Tuffli-Class Freighter is now in DOF packs.
Also if I may; the Shuttle charts might look better if the Fed Shuttles where arranged in this order: Class F, Type 8, Type 10, Delta, Danube, Yellowstone, Peregrine, Stalker, Tal'Kyr, Yacht. So Shuttle, Flyer, Runabout, Fighters, and Auxiliary craft.

Also have you thought about making a pets chart?
Haha. Probably a 'no thx' to the shuttle pets chart, since I've been limiting the charts to 'what a player can fly' and for now, I'll probably keep em like that. Unless it's an afterthought that goes on the Shuttle/Special (SS) chart. Lemme mull it over...
I currently have shots from the Freighter and the Stalker Fighters, so I'll be adding that to the SS chart as soon as I get around to updating it (hopefully this weekend!)
About rearranging the SS chart: I'll look into what to do when I go adding the above-mentioned ships. I may take your suggestion, or put it as an 'order in which it comes out'... not sure yet tho. Either way, thx for the input.
After looking closely at the Odyssey's device icon, i thought about where to place it, since you're not sure
I think maybe instead of where it is now, it should be placed in the header, directly to the right of the pricing. The devices are always placed near other important info (consoles slots and unique consoles), but with the Odyssey and it's 3 variants, that wouldn't look right.
By placing it near the pricing, you're also placing it above the ship's other stats (hull, weapon slots, etc), keeping the trend, somewhat. I think it's a good alternative
And also, maybe you can do the same to the other ships. Because now that I look at the Fed chart closely, the third ship variant in most places is a little squished under the device icon. By changing this, you can align them up a little more.
Having listened to the new PriorityOne podcast, we have new info about the upcoming Fleet Starships: (still subject to change though)
Will be Fleet only (had to be said)
Will ALL be Tier 5
Total of 40+ ships to be added, divided between Fed and KDF (these ships are retrofits/refits of existing ones, but they will have new materials for the refit skins)
These ships will not have the C-Store skin options, or C-Store only consoles, unless you have bought the ship (Then you can use them on the new Fleet ships)
Some will have 10 console slots of various arrangements, and some will have +10% to shields and hull (some because not all info is available; no other stat info is available either)
This might be fairly obvious... but this would wreck HAVOC on your charts if you added 20 ships to each chart's Tier 5 sections. You might have to consider a Fleet-only chart(s) to add this...
