== Overview ==<br />
This is the Ship's Accountant - the indispensible tool for anyone who seeks to make a profit in space. What you can't measure, you can't manage.<br />
<br />
Accessed through the [[F4 page (ship and system interfaces)|Docked F4 Screen]] (under Statistical: Ship's Accountant), this OXP provides a run-down of your accounts to enable you to fine-tune your business decisions!<br />
<br />
== Small Print ==<br />
There is some overlap of function with other add-ons, for example the now-broken [[AI Trading Assistant]], but the purpose is distinct. The aim is<br />
not to guide your business at the tactical level answering questions like "what cargo should I buy for a run to the next system?" Rather the Ship's Accountant guides your business strategy: answering questions like "Am I making as much profit in this part of the sector as I did 10 days ago in another part? Am I making more profit by trading, or by fighting? Does a long passenger run make more profit than just carrying cargo around?"<br />
<br />
The accountant tracks profit and loss. Trading profit is accrued when you hyperspace into a system where your cargo is worth more. Bounties<br />
and scooped cargo are counted as profit immediately. Shifting assets from one form to another -- cash to ship's equipment, cargo to cash -- does not count immediately as profit or loss.<br />
<br />
=== Development Notes ===<br />
This is an early pre-release version, with known limitations:<br />
<br />
* Presentation needs work: better tables and a background image<br />
* More choice of reports, including a straight ledger view<br />
* No support for handling buying a new ship or using an escape capsule<br />
* Not sure about doing business at non-main stations<br />
* Not tested in interstellar space<br />
* Bugs. I would be surprised if there weren't a few.<br />
<br />
It should not be used in your main game in this state, it's provided for evaluation purposes only.<br />
<br />
Other possible future enhancements:<br />
<br />
* Tool to examine the ledger & reports outside oolite by extracting from log file or save files<br />
* Ability to manually annotate adjustments to show their cause<br />
* Integration with other OXPs (Black Monks a priority)<br />
<br />
=== Cholly's Chunterings ===<br />
I'm not an accountant, so can't properly judge this one! But:<br />
:*New OXP Commodities seem to be handled seamlessly (note "Quirium Crystal" in the top screen shot)<br />
:*The F4 screen option seems only to be available from the Main Orbital Station in a system<br />
:*One gets occasional reports at all stations when doing some other things on the F4 screen<br />
:*How does it handle [[New Cargoes]]?<br />
:*This 2013 OXP predates the major changes made to the vanilla game code handling of markets in Oolite v.1.84 (2015) which might matter<br />
This OXP needs some TLC from somebody who understands this sort of thing!<br />
