Tools

This page lists a variety of available tools, but is by no means an exhaustive list. Experienced players or alliances often have their own personal spreadsheet based calculators or tracking systems. Joining a long-standing alliance in an older universe is often a way to discover additional tools developed by that alliance or not widely known.
