Shields and Armor: average values for weight, HP, and cost

[TheLastBrunnenG]

Maybe somebody can use this as a modding resource... I always had trouble deciding what level and value I should attach to new shields and armor I created. A year or so ago I plugged every XML that TransData could give me into Excel and turned it into a chart showing high, low, and average values for the price, hit points, and weight. The resulting chart is below. At some point I'll zip the spreadsheet (much more info than shown here) and drop it into Xelerus for download. I started doing weapons too but never finished it - hopefully I'll complete it by month end.

val - value (credits)
HP - hit points; does not consider adjustable values for Omsk, Jotun, etc.
wgt - weight (mass)
count - # of items at this level

Obviously average values mean less when there are only 1 or 2 items available at that level. Also, this chart was compiled sometime around 1.0RC3, so I don't know if anything has changed from then until 1.05.
