Users who want to use this tool just need a web browser as they know it from Ogame. It is recommended to use Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Epiphany or the IE to insert data into the database!
 
Opera does not copy tooltips with copy and paste which are required. Konqueror copies the galaxy view with LOTS of empty lines which makes it nearly impossible to analyse it. So these two browsers are not supported by this tool!
