Is anybody using Game Glass Shards and/or MFD Cougar Displays? I am looking for a solution to have dedicated screens for module and fsd injections controls so they could be directly accessed for repairs and boosts. Thanks

Salmonea,,We do not tolerate cheating of any kind in our online multiplayer games. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of automated scripts, programs or services offered outside of the game to generate a player advantage" said Fdev... But Its kinda confusing. What that mean? Is that prohibited or its ok? So what? That scripts and programs are included, or it isnt limited on these? When I am trying translate it, it doesnt make a sence. Is a script for pip management cheat or not?
The short simple explanation:
The script cannot allow you to do something impossible for players. Additionally, it cannot play for you.
Most simple scripts that make the game easier for YOU to play are alright to use. I have yet to hear of anyone banned for even complex Voice Attack scripts that do things like remember your last target and number of steps to sub-target Power plant and does both with one button press. Some will whine that it is unfair but that's how it is.
It is also important to understand the line between 'allowed' and 'unenforced'. The Fleet Carrier autopilot script is an example of one that I think isn't officially allowed by FDev but nobody cares.

FDev doesn't care enough to pursue investigation ..
Even after massive "Anti Botting Agreement" groups etc. unite to bring it to their attention

Shg56Cmdrs,

I've used Gameglass, and I think it's pretty nice. Easy to set up, nicely done, simple to use. Great for a HOTAS player who didn't want to use the keyboard for many unbinded functions. The free version is already nice, and you can create your own interfaces, and it's working in app and in a browser, so it's great for using for example with a tablet PC.
Hope that help. It's free so don't be afraid to test it!

KaizimmPeople also do not get banned for using 24/7 scripts to bot the BGS and PP for over a year, so I wouldn't worry too much about it either way

I don't know for certain, but it is easy to envision a script that can auto deliver goods for you. Most of the work is already done: Docking computer to get you in and out of stations, Supercruise assist for intrasystem transit, all the relevant commodity data is easily accessible and the interface is consistent for the relevant sections. All the script would need to do was be given faction or station priorities. It would then examine commodity data, calculate the optimal trade route, set a course in galaxy map.
The only tricky part would be graphically examining the navcompass indicator and using it to change heading to the correct direction. Once you have this logic down it's a simple extrapolation to do things like go around obstacles by checking the HUD markers, or identifying which missions are available in station. This is just what I could think of off the top of my head. I'm SURE smarter people than me could program an AI that could figure out how to do most BGS related actions, and determine the most efficient method possible to do it. That second part alone would be technically allowed and be a huge advantage considering it could analyze past results to show how much resistance you are getting or predict how much you could expect etc...

Were you able to create dedicated shards for FSD injections and Modules by any chance?

I've always thought it was the other way around

Sparlin007You know, I never knew that it was the core that was barely explored and the edges that were almost completely mapped
I've always thought it was the other way around
Mapping the core will take forever. Too many stars.

I don't know, having a few thousand (if not million) accolades doesn't sound so bad

You ever heard of density? I will not be surprised if the amount of stars in the so called core on your picture is like 90-95% of all stars in the galaxy.

Well, I travel to Beagle Point recently via East side void. This route is barely explored but to my big surprise The Abyss and Formorian Frontier especially close to the entry to The Abyss from the South is mostly all explored probably because of BP lure. Norma Expanse, Trojan Belt and The Veils are still good and you could still find uncharted Neutrons, Black Holes, Bio systems. Though I have not found a new alien site so far. Good luck with your exploration...
