This is based on an Excel sheet Topo created. You can download the file here:

You will have to fill out the properties your ship has:
_Unique
_Skill, Attack, Defense, Hull and Shields
_Focus, Lock, Barrel Roll, Boost, Evade, Cloak
_R2, R4, Crew, Missile, Torpedo, Turret, BFG, Bomb, System, Illicit and Elite
_Maneuvers:
To calculate manouvers, count each red manouver as 0,5 white manouvers as 1 and green as 2. Red K-Turns and red Full Stop count as 1 and wh ite K-Turns and white Full Stop count as 2.
_Skill:
This one has to be subjective. Basically if its a normal skill give it 1, if its a great skill give it a 2, and in the rare occasion of it being a defining skill give it a 3.
_4X8
This one is of no use yet. There are no 4x8 ships, although I make them sometimes.
_8x8
Large ship
_180
Forward and backwards attack like the Slave I
_360
Primary turret
Its not perfect, but in most cases the official ones are only off by 1 or 2 points.
