Aleksander MajjamThe near 15 billion I made during the mining era feels like buying bitcoin at $100 and then making out like a bandit a year later.
My record was 750 mil in 40 min. Cutter with sub-surface displacement missiles in "New Borann" without using egg/SLF exploit.
For the record. It was a test run, just to test new mechanic.

Since I was still "new" during the mining boom, I only had a 192t cargo hold for a Python. Still netting me good coin, but I've always wondered if I put in the same effort and had a ship like the cutter what I really could have made out with.

Like a Box with say 50 light years to each side, each vertices Would be a star that you could reference in EDDB, The goal of which would be to use each reference star To find the best prices around that star For mined or purchased items.
Currently using hozbase for rare locations and then determining prices from there, but those locations are fairly randomly scattered across the Galaxy and I would like a grid reference if possible.
If someone has A better method of determining the most profitable mining route please let me know
Cheers, Vger.

Kenji_088I would say for just mining, just use miner's tool.
You give in your current system, and selecht the stuff you want to mine.
The tool then gives you a list of the closest hotspot overlaps (if possible) and the closest station to sell at your preset profit choice.
Or cross-chech on here (which is what i do).
Or EDDB.
I dont really understand the whole thing about that grid you talk about though.
I believe that the information on EDDB and Inara have same source. maybe Artie can confirm it.
What I would suggest you to go first at the location where you plan to sale and check if the price and demand will work for you. Even if the data is just 1-2 hours older on 3rd party tools it might no longer be accurate as some of the CMDRs may use the data but not actually seed data back. And there is always a chance that even if the price was checked by you it is no longer valid after the time you've spend on mining.

Yes, the market data are the same, so there can be used any of best sell prices in the commodity listings to get the best (known) profits for the mined stuff.
Otherwise, the grid idea won't work well around the boundaries of such grid (for example, such search will ignore star system just 5Ly distant just because it's in another grid segment), so you will end with comparing the actual star system distances anyway, so it's better to save some work with that as it has not much benefits. The only advantage may be for a speed optimization with some pre-crunched data and for that you can simply take floor(coords/50) to create the grid.

BurstarHmmm, I wonder what happens if you rep lowers to Hostile while walking around that Faction's station?
My thinking exactly, hoping it was a cool easter egg x) But it falls flat as I am not hostile with them.

SnokenI was literally just one shot killed by something inside O'brien Vision concourse, Sirius. Looked away from the terminal and got terminated. Anyone else had this?
Something similar happened to me me once I left the APEX desk. It is some kind of bug with the station interior but since I couldn't reproduce it I haven't bother reporting. I assume it is something related to moving before you actually exited the menu that you have used.

Ryanjt84So a little over 24 hours to go for the CG and not even at tier 1...
Pretty sure they only need 400 mil so they will get there.

For the discussions about the community, other stuff related to the game like astrophysics and so on please use the General talk thread.
What does belong here:
- Questions, answers, tips and guides about ship loadouts, game activities like exploration, mining, combat and similar things that directly relate to the gameplay.
- Game technical issues and problems, if you are looking for a help. For the bug reports please head to the official FD forum.
- Discussion about "official" events from GalNet and community goals.
- Discussing player actions and activities, general topics about Elite community and player events, topics related to the game but also real world (like astrophysics and similar). Please post these to the "General talk" thread instead.
- Any off topic discussion, please post this kind of stuff to the "Offtopic" thread.
