This function calculates the battlevalue of a certain unit of given skill. Syntax is ~bv <unit code> (skill). Skill can either be given in standard P/G syntax, or as discrete numbers.

<mattbuck> ~bv WHM-6D 3/1
<mattbot3> mattbuck: The BV of a 3/1 WHM-6D is approximately 1918.

<mattbot3> mattbuck: I couldn't find anything precisely matching your request (ATLAS), perhaps you meant one of these? AS7-D AS7-HOC

The bot can calculate the battlevalue of any unit, not just mechs. Vehicles use the standard unit code. Infantry are listed in the form AR-M, SRM-J, FT-F, etc. Towers use the syntax TowerCF, eg Tower75.

<mattbuck> ~bv Tower25
<mattbot3> mattbuck: The BV of a 4gun TOWER25 is approximately 50.

This function is also used to calculate the skill closest for a given BV. The BV must be > 8, or it will assume you are inputting a skill and want to know the BV for that unit.

If you do not specify a member level, the bot will tell you how much space is available in the faction.

<mattbuck> ~flevel L7
<mattbot3> mattbuck: The space in a faction with a level 7 faction leader is 49.

This allows you to obtain a percentage interpretation of the "Change from start of war" status given on Neveron's empire intel page. Standard syntax is ~gains <level>

<mattbuck> ~omtpop 35,000
<mattbot3> mattbuck: The maximum number of SP that can be supported by a population of 35,000 is 614.
