Given the wide array of possible materials available in the simulation, making comparisons between them can be a challenge. I was wondering if there was a spreadsheet that listed the simulation's materials and characteristics. As a geographer, I know a fair amount about statistics. I was thinking that, if I could get this type of information in a spreadsheet, I could build something in excel that could give relative comparisons between materials, and then rank them based on a user defined weighted comparison between desired characteristics ( you stats nerds might recognize this as a mix of analytic hierarchy process and simple multi-attribute rating technique). If I put this on a google doc or something like that, It could be a big help in making good choices for ship components and help ease the difficulty curve for new players.
But, as of this moment the only way I could think of to create this sheet would be to go into the game, look at a material, alt tab to excell, then back to the game, back to excell, and so on. This process is understandably less than ideal, as it would be rather tedious and have a high risk of a transcription error.
So, any ideas?

There's a text file somewhere in the game files that lists all the attributes of every material in the game. You'd still have to make the spreadsheet from scratch, but at least you'd be able to use the copy and paste functions. Edit: Ah, looks like somebody has already got to it.
