BSIM is an universal battle simulator.

It is able to set up battles and use BSVCR.EXE or the internal version of PVCR to show them visually and it can simulate multiship battles (either with the internal PVCR module or it sets up host data and runs HOST.EXE). BSVCR.EXE is a slightly changed version of VCR.EXE. VCR.EXE and HOST.EXE come with VGA-Planets.

Encyclopaedia Galactica is designed to address the player's need for sophisticated information of a predictive nature.

The things that Galactica does, though, it does much more efficiently than most of us can with a calculator. The Planetary Economic Simulator, in particular, provides in a few seconds the kind of comparative simulation which it might take some hours to accomplish the hard way. The only major exception to the calculator mentality of Galactica is the inclusion of the Mission Order Reference located on the Main Help menu. This is a truly invaluable reference which takes most of the guess work out of your planets strategies.

Exploration. Sensor Sweep. Bioscanners. Super Spy. Dark Sense. Many ways to gather information about planets you do not own.

A built-in notepad (thanx Tim :) ) to store all this information. Very good. But did you ever try to, for example, edit the notepads of about 100 planets you just scanned via dark sense? And if so: Did your hands ache terribly, just like mine did?

If yes... then you understand why I wrote this program. It scans all the messages you got last turn from the host and picks out the ones containing planet informations. If it finds such a message, it copies the relevant data into the WinPlan notepad for that planet.

• Tax your natives and colonists, the method is based on your planet's friendly code.
• Build planetary mines, factories and defenseposts.
• Randomize planetary friendly codes.
• Use gravity wells, so your ships burn less fuel.

The purpose of this program is to enhance the abilities of the player client VPA. Many good players use this client to make better and faster turns. But VPA has some disadvantages/bugs and therefore players have to use WinPlan and other 3rd party utilities (like EchoView by Stefan Glasauer.) to get the information VPA can't give them.

Well known disadvantages of VPA are:

• no UFO information
• unreliable minefield information
• no 50+ target support with WinPlan RSTs

UFO4VPA can fix these problems and, additionally, gives many other useful information that WinPlan can't give you. WinPlan only users can use this program, too. But to get most out of the information you should use VPA instead.

UFO4VPA analyses many binary files that are extracted from your RST. It then rewrites your 'MDATAx.DAT' file. You can read these new messages with WinPlan or VPA but the real purpose is to provide this information to the VPA message parser. VPA will then draw many new markers on the map screen.

UFO4VPA will remember all enemy ships (hulls) you can see on the map. It will also extract the armament data of surviving enemy ships from the VCRs. This should give you an overview about enemy fleet/ship strength.

What I've tried to do is incorporate all vga planets reference material into one file. (Docs, formulas, help articles, etc.) The format is Excel. The reason I made this guide was because I got tired of looking through multiple docs and web sites trying to find information I needed and/or wanted.

Microsoft Excel is required to view this document.

This utility is designed to support and enhance the client part of the game VGA Planets versions 3.0 only (ie. Planets.Exe).

The main purpose of this program is to provide players with additional features not found in PLANETS itself, while maintaining the same features of both the shareware and the registered version of Planets itself. The autodetection logic build into the program will prevent shareware players from accessing registered user features.

Supports DOS, OS/2 & DMPI
