You need to know your strength, crew, your escorts strength & crew, and your opponent's strength & crew. Then click Calculate. It gives you the minimum odds (worst case in the random step, -5) and maximum odds (best case in the random step, +5)
It's not entirely accurate, as it can't/won't overflow, so your large-crew ships calculate to 75% odds.
For those that know more flash than me, I put the .swf up for download (you need Flash MX 2004.) Feel free to make the document open ship data into menues ect. Then tell me so I can update the page where this is and give you credit.
As far as I can tell, it's fairly bugless. Tell me if you find one.
(Edit: sig update)**
Hmm...wouldn't it be better to make an HTML/JavaScript one for those idiots who don't have Flash?
Sets to work because he's sick as hell of screwing with his Titles file
EDIT: Dammit, can't get it to work. If anyone wants to try and finish it, here's the raw code:

If anybody sees the error I keep getting, let me know.
