Squadron Mission Tool?

[Ramen]

Hi Everyone,

I'm just wondering have anyone made some tool yet to choose which 4 member for particular Squadron mission?



I'm looking for some simple tool like this, you key in initial stats (even can just use job and level to calculate everything for you), then only change squad member's level later to get latest stats.

then you specified missions' requirement, and the program pick it for you.

I know how to do it in other tool like MatLab, but might be overkill... just want something simple...

Thanks.

Just use the lookup value to find the 4 max values or the best stat averages throughout all squad members and you get the app you're asking for.

hmmm... of course, no. It's not that easy.
for example, all of my squad members are lv18- 22 now, but I'm still hard to find the suitable combination for the lv15 mission.
lv15 mission require: (Physical, Mental, Tactical) = (225, 335, 130)


my max mental will be 1 4 5 7 total gives: (151, 392, 187) that's equal challenge
so next I need to boot one mental higher guy to high physic guy, my next try will be 2 4 5 7 (215, 316, 199) it will be total failure
next try 1 2 5 7 (215, 344, 173) very closed but still equal challenge.
it will never end until you realized you are missing something (or missed some hidden combo)... Then, it comes in the more complicated decision like

• Which training course to take?
• Which one to change job? Which job change to?????
• Should I get this new recruit?
• which one I kick out?

There will be totally 35 combination to choose from the existing 8 members, even though some combos are obviously not going to work, but still I always spent lots time to adjust the mission squads...

if it's 2-4 hours per mission, then that's fine. I'll just gamble the 50% chance then go with the "equal to the task". But, it's 18hr per gamble. I lost the stupid lv1 mission just because my Physics -2 while the rest way beyond the requirement... it's frustrating.

This seems a bit pointless, the way you proposed it. The jobs have set stats, not based on the character.. For example, Cecily as a level 20 Whm will have the same base stats as Hastaloeya would as a lv 20 whm..

You could make this arguably more simple if you made a list of the jobs and their stats at cerain levels (like 20, 40, 60) and compIle the stats that way.

I'm not sure how the training factors into this, and I'm not sure how the chemistry works yet.. but I know the jobs base stats are constant across characters.

I do belive the only stats the training effects is the pool of points shown on the training page.
Those stats are added to the recruits you send on missions to determine what the final stats are.

I do belive if you go to do a mission and unselect all your recruits it'll show the pool points up at the top.
Since that's all that will be affecting it at that moment.

oh good, someone posted the calculator...
