Sadly, this game won't allow us to create fuel tanks of a forms like slanted truncated cone, pyramid/cone crossover, toroidal tanks; nor does it allow us to write a mod like, say, in KSP, to do just that ( which is much worse 'in my book'). At the same time, it can be argued that for some battleship designs, conical frontal section is the best from armor perspective. What I want is to have a script which reads, say, generatrix-to-axis angle & base radius or - alternatively - base radius and cone height, and outputs optimal series of pill-shape tank dimensions (with certain minimal tank size, and maybe min.size step) and corresponding packing multiplier ( see circle packing) for a given tank layer to optimally fill such a cone ( well, truncated cone in fact, because of necessary min.size limit). Any input is welcome: formulas, pseudo-code, code in any language, ideas on best algorithm to achieve this, software/libraries, anything.
