Elite Dangerous Shield Tester\n\nThis is a tool for determining optimal shield loadouts for ships in the space\nsimulation game [Elite Dangerous].\n\nYou feed it a proposed attacker with a given set of damage types and effectiveness,\nand it determines the best combination of shield and booster engineering to maximise\nsurvival time against that opponent.\n\nThis tool can also be queried on its [website].\n\n## Usage\n\nThis is a command-line application, run it with --help to get usage:\n\n```\nelite_shield_tester 0.4.4\nElite Dangerous Shield Optimiser\n\nUSAGE:\n    elite_shield_tester

[PowerShell script] originally by YouTuber [Down To Earth Astronomy],\nand demonstrated in [this video].\n\nIt now uses an algorithm developed by [Jamie \"Entity\" van den Berge], which offers\namazing speedups from the naive approach.  Use `--disable-filter` to bypass this.\nPlease report if this changes any results.\n\nThe `Shield.csv` file is generated using a script utilising [Thurion's Python version].\n\nAll data is ultimately derived from [Coriolis].\n\n\n[Down To Earth Astronomy]: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg3QI9rHzPgvR7KTKSCtPHg\n[PowerShell script]: https://github.com/DownToEarthAstronomy/D2EA_Shield_tester\n[this video]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87DMWz8IeEE\n[Elite Dangerous]: https://www.elitedangerous.com/\n[website]: https://hur.st/shieldtester/\n[Rust]: https://www.rust-lang.org/\n[Jamie \"Entity\" van den Berge]: https://github.com/ntt\n[Thurion's Python version]: https://github.com/Thurion/shield_tester\n[Coriolis]: https://coriolis.io/\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffreaky%2Felite_shield_tester","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffreaky%2Felite_shield_tester","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffreaky%2Felite_shield_tester/lists"}
