It's a simple tool scripted in javascript.

EDIT NEW DIRECTIONS: Go to the rankings page. Click families sorted by networth. Copy the data that looks like the example:

paste this into the calculator. Type in your families number where prompted. Also type in the galaxies dimensions where prompted. Click calculate.

You'll get a distance calculation from your home system to all the other home systems so you can see what family is closest and is the biggest threat.

EDIT: Here's the new version. Now accounts for the warp and different size galaxies.
Also changed the look of the tool :-)

Added a button for reseting the calculator for a second calculation :-)

Refresh if you don't see them.

version: 0.6

Would anyone mind hosting the tool?

Suggestions for improvements? Maybe you think it's useless? Post please.
