    There is a negative stereotype associated with the use of spreadsheets in gaming, and there are a good number of folks who are willing to attack and ridicule those who use them for any game-related reason.

    I guess I had to vote that I use a spreadsheet to calculate game-related math functions, since I put together a Speed and Turn Calculator for the Skill Revamp.

    I enter crafting material prices into a spreadsheet and it tells me if I should bother crafting the items, or sell the materials and buy the item. Alternatively, if something has a high enough markup, I'll craft that instead, sell it and use the profits to buy what I want.

    Well I'm a casual payer but I do take economics pretty seriously. I tracked the Omega particles and occasionally a few other items but it's generally not so much I can't track it in my head.

    Trust me, I'm aware of that. :\

    I mean, one doesn't begin to describe it, but sure, "a spreadsheet"

    I pretty much think you are crazy, but if you use spreadsheets, but that's your business, and I won't - as some do - blame or ridicule people for it.

    Why do I think you are crazy? Because anyone who is willing to put that much effort into a game, has not understood the idea of a game.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    I think it's crazy to use spreadsheets with a game, but if some people find it relaxing I aint gonna try stop them. It's definitely not for me though!

    I've got 12 maxed out toons and I use spreadsheets to track their progression through specialisation, to track mission related space and ground sets per toon, which masteries have been completed, reputation marks and elite marks and so on.
    Although the number of my toons is modest, it's hard to keep track of which toon has done what and it's more time efficient to keep records. Also helps to focus gaming time.

    I use the export function for fleet stats and also spreadsheets derived from these to make fleet giveaway events easier to track.
