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 -

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!

Thanks for the heads up.

That is an
outrageous provocation. 7/10 - would be provocated again.

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.
