Crew Efficiency Calculator

Spreadsheet calculator for efficiently allocating your rank points.

While a majority of guides cover most of the efficient setups, they don't typically account for every person's current standpoint, so this can help you to figure out what is most efficient for you right now. There's an explanation/instruction list on the right hand side, but it should be pretty intuitive. Make your own copy to be able to use it.
