A typical search screen

Where's That Ship is a simple cross-platform console program to help players find ships quickly. It is designed for quickly scrambling the nearest vessel to intercept an unfortunate target during times of war. This means no more scanning down the dock list or setting off on wild whisking adventures to find where the crew PvP ship has wandered off to. It will also produce some crazy facts and figures about the crew fleet and ocean in general - handy if the hunter is short on reading material and there's a long wait before the target appears.

It is inspired in part by Track All Yer Ships, a spreadsheet which provides an overview of a crew's fleet.

How to use

• Download the program using the links below.
• Go to the dock, and click "Where are my vessels". Press "CTRL+A", then "CTRL+C" to copy the content of the page onto the clipboard. Then, create a file in the same directory as the executable named "shipdata.txt". Paste into this the contents of the clipboard ("CTRL+V"). Do this regularly for the most accurate results (dependent on crew activity).
• Run the executable, and follow the on-screen instructions.
• Stats are currently produced in the savefile. To get stats, run a search and save it. (to be improved in a future release!)
