Will investigate. Ideally, we want to process the results too, to find the source system with the fewest competitors to the destination (to reduce board flips).

I made simple script, that does stuff with EDDB data - viewtopic.php?f=23&t=8667

Nice to see the current discussion about the Medb-route and alternatives, and the data collecting that goes into determining the value of any route proposed. Deal is certainly getting more profit out of it than I do/did, but then again I only did it for a couple of days to pad my bank account, went away to do other stuff, and then came back for a couple of days to replace the credits I spent on A-rating my Corvette and Cutter :)

And @Deal, it appears that we ended up with Kamuy for different reasons. I just picked it because it sold all the Eco passenger cabins, so I could fly my Combat-ish Anaconda there, outfit it for passenger missions on-site, and then refit it to combat-ish status again before leaving. I guess the reason doesn't matter, when the end result is the same.

Happy credithunting! :)

Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant by will investigate. I'm just importing systems and stations at the moment.

Thanks for this tool. I'll play around and see what comes out :)

Just an update on my Kamuy->Medb experience. The day does not go well.
I ran into what I would call "sticky board syndrome" this morning.
I would see the same missions over and over again. I got up to half full with no trouble then it hit. I tried burning some rep to take and abandon some missions to unstick it, but without much success. I also tried restarting the client.

I can tell when the board hasn't refreshed (apart from the missions being the same) when the "Waiting" stage of loading a board completes almost immediately.

Oddly enough, on occasion I would also log in say through private, then when I went to log out it would say I was currently in solo, and vice versa.

After 25 minutes of dicking around, I aborted the fill and departed with 22 spaces free. En route to Medb now.

I'm going to figure out how to record the game before I try this again.

The sticky board syndrome is a known occurrence, when it occurs to me I check what the shortest time I have to complete a mission is, minus an hour (spare time) from that & then go afk for at least 5-15 minutes if possible (when on main menu) then log in to a different mode, that normally unsticks it for me, and I get to make another coffee!

It's not a real word. I mean, it's true that I can't spell, but I do have in line spell checking in my browser.

It appears that Deal is our newest funny guy (or gal) with a strange sense of humour. If one of his posts isn't making sense, then it's probably best not to look for any hidden meaning in it. :)

Very little game time, but often chatting at work.
