Ah hell... *goes of to play with excel*

Wait having colliers is going to be insanely expensive. How do I account for auxilaries?

Do you have any now?

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

I do have 7 x 2,800 ton Auxilaries. And building 4 colliers.

Ok first attempt at the spreadsheet. Just this one right? Not completely accurate as I still don't have exact data for the last 3 ship types. However upkeep is significantly less that the one in the report.

Im working on a fix to prevent Coaliers and the like from breaking us.  but in SS3 we dont have to do like we did in SS2 and use Coal to put weight below the watterline.  Coal bunkerage could be pure misc weight without having to worry about the ship capsizing on a mill pond.

Actually what makes you say that? They are rather slow ships and should therefore be relatively cheap.
