Updated Power Calculator

I'm sure a fair amount of you remember Lord Havelock's Ship Power Guide and Calculator, or STO PowerCalc, as it was more commonly known.
However, it had not been updated since November 1st, 2013, and he appeared to have basically abandoned it in May of 2014, so I have since taken it upon myself to update the calculator.
Here is an updated link.
To edit it, go to the file menu, hit make a copy, and edit that copy. I switched this to Google Drive for a few reasons: First, it's very easy to keep the link up to date, secondly, you don't have to own excel to use it, and finally, you don't have to keep downloading an excel file every time there's a new version.
As to to the author's original statements on the subject,
I personally have no issues with the look and feel of Google Docs, but if there are requests, I would be happy to convert it to an excel file and make the link available for download.
This sheet is likely to have a bug or two, as I started by modifying someone else's work, and added a very large amount of calculations, as currently adds skill points, gear (with a special plasmonic leach calculator), Emergency Power abilities, and has an option to add in EPS Manifold Efficiency if you're using two different Emergency Powers. Any feedback, bug reports, or the like would be great, though I am on reddit more often than I am on the forums, and will check the thread on reddit more than I will be on here.

FAQ
* Why not use Google Docs or some other online document sharing system?I get this one a lot, and it boils down to aesthetics. I'm sorry, but I do not like the "look and feel" of Google Docs (nor any of the other similar online systems I've tried). GD is perfectly functional, but the fonts, backgrounds, cell notes, etc. do not match what I see in Excel. Not to mention there are some editing differences that are not available to me.
Others have taken the effort to take my sheet and convert it to Google, and that's fine for them if they like. I don't support those, keep them up-to-date, or otherwise vouch for the accuracy/functionality.

I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)
STO Resources: <Ship Comparison - All Tiers + Small Craft + Hangar Pets> <Damage Resistance>
<R&D + Upgrade Costs> <Duty Officer Finder> <Suliban Doff Reqs> <Fleet Costs> <Rep Costs>
<Keybind Tour the Galaxy> <Fleet / Armada Management> <Currency Exchange> <Other STO Links>
That is odd, I'm getting the same issue.
I'm currently having issues copying and pasting formulas en-masse from google docs to excel - I can get an excel version of it working for you sometime within the next week, but as I'm currently a bit busy (finishing this took longer than I expected and delayed a few things), is there some problem preventing you from simply using the mentioned instructions to edit it in google sheets that I might be able to address?

There is no problem using the copy method, but I prefer to have a version that doesn't require an internet connection to use. There is no need to make an excel version your priority, this kind of stuff is supposed to be for fun.
Well, I was missing the deflector until you pointed that out, thanks! I did have the rest of it in (I'm pretty sure), but the deflector is generally considered the best part, so thanks for catching that!
