Admiralty System Optimizer (v1.0.19 - 11 July 2017)

intrinsical · November 2015

Hi guys,

Admiralty System Optimizer is a program that will automatically pick the best set of Admiralty ships to use for Admiralty Assignments.

Website: https://intrinsical.github.io/categories/sto-aso
Latest release: Version 1.0.19 (1 July 2017)
Download link:sto-aso.zip
Note: The download links scattered throughout the rest of this thread are now obsolete and do not work. Please do not use them. Only use the link above to download the program.

The program supports multiple characters and each character has its own roster of active, maintenance and one-time ships. You input an assignment's Eng, Tac, Sci requirements and punch "Plan Assignments". The program will tell you which three ships are best suited for the assignment.

Please give the program a try. I'll appreciate any feedback on how I can further improve the program. Please feel free to post stats for missing ships or any inaccurate ship stats.

Requires Java 1.7 or better.

This sounds interesting. I'm guessing you have to tell it what you have, and update it as you recieve one-time usage cards?

Yes. The program works best when it has an accurate list of what ships you own (both active and one-time ships), and which ships are under maintenance.

Hi guys,

At the moment, I'm working on code to support small ships. Currently I already have the stats for:

Danube Runabout
Type 8 Shuttle
Captain's Yacht (fed)
Delta Class Shuttle
Yellowstone Runabout
Ferengi Na'Far Shuttle
Aeon Timeship (I need confirmation, the Aeon's Rarity grade is Very Rare?)
Tal'Kyr Support Craft
Mirror Danube Runabout

If you own any small crafts not on this list, please feel free to post their stats to this thread! Here's a sample of the kind of data I need:

Tal'Kyr Support Craft
Faction: Fed
Rarity: Rare
Type: Tac
Eng: 3
Tac: 1
Sci: 6
Ability: -25% Maintenance per ANY Ship (Not Small Craft)

I have the stats for all but 3 T4 KDF C-Store ships, all small craft included: http://bit.ly/STOShips. I hope that helps.

Impressive work!

intrinsical · December 2015

In case you guys are wondering, yes I am still making improvements to the program but most are not ready for release as the holiday season is the busiest time of the year for me. Here are some of the things I am working on:

- Added a "stay on top" toggle to the program, allowing it easy viewing of both STO and the optimizer together without having to constantly switch between the two programs.

- Select assignments by name. This is working, but I want to polish the user interface to make this work better. Some of the assignments have very long names, which makes them very hard to display in a small area.

- Right now, I am primarily working on fixing bugs with calculating critical rating. Once this is done, I will move on to work on a new scoring mode that maximizes critical rating. This new mode will be useful for players with a lot of ships. It will allow not just complete assignments with 100% success rates, but also with a high chance of getting a critical at the cost of sending T6 ships and ships that boost critical rating.

intrinsical · February 2016

Updates - 18 Nov 2015

This is a major upgrade.
Added the ability to pick assignment events from a list of events. This makes entering assignment information much faster.
Added support for planning between 1 to 3 assignments together as a set. The optimizer will pick the best ships for each assignment while making sure the same ship is not sent on two different assignments.
There is a slim possibility that the optimizer may fail to find suitable ships to send on a set of assignments. This is usually caused by two assignments needing the same ship. It is a very rare occurrence that can happen when either (A) there is a small number of active ships to choose from, (B) two assignments having identical or near-identical requirements. If this happens, reduce the number of planned assignments or pick different assignments.
Added the ability to delete an Admiral
Added Mirror Guardian Cruiser (T6), Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer

Updates - 12 Nov 2015

Added To'Duj Fighter
Small Crafts were being misidentified as Tactical Ships, resulting in erroneous stat bonuses being awarded. Small Crafts will now identified as Small Crafts.
Small crafts are now represented with silver icons

Updates - 11 Nov 2015

Hegh], Vo'Quv Carrier, Ferengi D'Kora Marauder, D'ridthau Warbird Battlecruiser, Fleet D'deridex Warbird Battlecruiser (T6), Fleet Chimera Heavy Destroyer, Danube Runabout, Type 8 Shuttle, Captain's Yacht, Delta Class Shuttle, Tal'Kyr Support Craft, Yellowstone Runabout, Aeon Timeship, Mirror Danube Runabout, Ferengi Na'Far Shuttle, Tholian Widow Fighter, Vaadwaur Pythus Fighter, Voth Heavy Fighter, Class F Shuttle, Peregrine Attack Fighter, Stalker Stealth Fighter, General's Chariot, Kivra Shuttle, Rozhenko Timeship, Toron Shuttle, Commander's Gig, Kestrel Shuttle, Tiercel Shuttle, Scorpion Fighter
Added further support for small craft.
Small crafts with special ability "+N ___ Stats per ___ Ship (Not Small Craft)" now works properly.
Small crafts with special ability "Ignores ALL Event Modifiers" and "Ignores ALL Event Modifiers (Not Small Craft)" now works. I am not sure what is the difference between the two abilities, so currently they're both coded to do the treat all event modifiers as if they were zero.
Added error reporting.
Improvements to user interface.

Updates - 9 Nov 2015

Spent a couple hours synchronizing all changes in the ship database with changes in STO Wiki's Admiralty System Ships Master Last. They should now be identical, at least as on 9 November 2015.

"Add Active Ships" dialog no longer show ships you already own.
"Add Active Ships" dialog now automatically filter ships by the Admiral's faction.
Added graphics! Still a work in progress. I am a coder not an artist. My apologies so the ship icons don't look nice. Can anyone help?

Fixed ship stats for Catian Atrox Carrier
Added "Clear Assignment" button, reset assignment stats back to 0.

Updates - 2 March 2016 (Version 1.00)

Download link: sto-aso.zip

ASO has been in development for 4 months and have been used by many players without any major issues. Together with the new features included in this version, I consider ASO to be feature-complete; I have added all the features I had planned to include. As a result, I am happy to announce the release of the Admiralty System Optimizer Version 1.00!

ASO now has an icon. It's the Star Trek logo overlaid with admiral rank pips.
Support for Critical Chance Optimization!
- Every assignment now comes with a Critical Chance slider bar. This slider allows you to control the desired critical chance level, from 0% up to 80%.
- ASO will now attempt to select ships that will reach the desired critical chance %.
- For those who are interested in knowing the in-depth reasons for the maximum of 80% crit chance, please scroll down to the bottom of this post.
Support for hot-keys
- Alt-L - Position ASO window on left side of the screen.
- Alt-R - Position ASO window on right side of the screen.
- Alt-C - Position ASO window in the center.
- Alt-S - Toggles "stay on top" mode.
- Alt-1 - Optimize 1 assignment.
- Alt-2 - Optimize 2 assignments.
- Alt-3 - Optimize 3 assignments.
- Alt-P - Plan assignment(s).
- Alt-Comma - View previous planned solution.
- Alt-B - View best planned solution.
- Alt-Period - View next planned solution.
- Alt-D - Deploy ships.
Updated Ships
- V.S.S. Tanius
- APU Cruiser
- Malon Battlecruiser
- Kazon Raider
Known outstanding issues
- Stats for the Fleet D'deridex Warbird Battle Cruiser is out of date.
- Special ability for the Jem'Hadar Strike Ship is out of date.
- Critical Rating calculation in ASO can occasionally be different from STO's by 1
- When the assignment has the "Borg Transwarp Gateway!" event, Critical Rating calculation is off by 100.

Critical Rating and Critical Chance
Critical Rating is primarily derived from any "overflow" or surplus stats, for example when you send a very strong ship on a simple admiralty assignment. Suppose you have an assignment that requires 20 Eng, 20 Tac, 20 Sci. If you send ships that have a combined stat of 25 Eng, 25 Tac, 25 Sci, you have a total surplus stat of 15. This 15 surplus stat becomes your Basic Critical Rating value. Certain ships have special abilities that will further enhance this Critical Rating value. Also, some special events have an innate +Critical Rating bonus that will further increase your Critcal Rating for the assignment.

Your chance of getting a critical success on an assignment is dependent on the Critical Rating value. The more Critical Rating you have, the larger the Critical Chance. However, there is a built in exponential mechanic where you need an ever increasing amounts of Critical Rating to get a larger Critical Chance. The chart here shows the Critical Rating required for an example assignment (20 Eng, 20 Tac, 20 Sci).

To get 10% Critical Chance, you just need 13 Critical Rating. To get 50% Critical Chance, you need 120 Critical Rating. However to get a 80% Critical Chance on the assignment, you need a whopping 480 Critical Rating. Beyond 80% Critical Chance, the Critical Rating requirements get larger at an ever increasing (exponential) rate. In fact, it is impossible to get a 100% Critical Chance as you will need infinite Critical Rating.

robin74 · May 2016

Great job

What I noticed is that "+x ALL when alone" doesn't seem to be properly included (my guess is that it's completely ignored by the optimizer) - I often get the results from the optimizers where those ships are bundled together with others, while the chances for success or critical would be higher if they were just sent alone.

I have over 80 ships on my rommie toon and 60 on my Fed as well my KDF with many listed in your current version which have no graphics and several not listed from what I can tell. I'm not a code monkey but I'm OK with graphics and system design (academic background).
