((TUP/3)*(TUP/3)+TUP/3)*7500-((CUP/3)*(CUP/3)+CUP/3)*7500-5000
TUP->targetUP
CUP->currentUP

Sorry for double post but it needs a bump anyway.
Anyway.. one of thee things is wrong.. that formula gives:
333,383,666,700 for from 0 - 20,000 UP.
Pookie's calc gives.. this
6,667 UP upgrades
At a cost of: 333,350,000,000 Naquadah
so erhm.. something is wrong.

hrm.. i must be retarded cuz i ran it again and came out with 333,383,328,358.33335... WTH. cant be a divide by 0 error because sticking a 0 simply nullifies the second half of the equation... the formula must be off somehow.

ok...
((TUP/3)*(TUP/3)+TUP/3)*7500-((CUP/3)*(CUP/3)+CUP/3)*7500-5000
TUP = 20,000
CUP = 1
(TUP/3) = (6,666.67 * 6,666.67 + 6,666.67) * 7,500 = 333,383,666,700
(CUP/3) = (.33 * .33 + .33) * 7500 = 4950 - 5000 = -50
333,383,666,700 - -50 = 333,383,666,750.
if my math is wrong please correct me.. but I don't see any problems with it.

Seems correct... I was just stating that you can't have 0 UP... or upgrade your UP by anything else than a multiple of 3
