How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Diamondback against Viper to see the explorer gap. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Laden ranges drop with cargo and fuel and are not mixed with unladen stock rows. A-rated FSD swaps like Sidewinder 24.43 upgraded are noted as excluded upgrades. Fleet Carrier jumps use a separate tritium table. Omitted: neutron boosted jumps, which multiply range per charge, not stock math.
