A little Postcard from the Black Pearl sent from Blae Drye JT-E b45-2
Now imagine somebody would want to get that navigation computer you are talking about, just theoretically. Where would that person have to go?Yes CMDR’s, another “I’m going to Colonia with the Fleet Carrier and who wants to join” post
I made the trip to Colonia before in the BETA 2 and the functionality that I was missing the most was to be able to schedule multiple jumps with the FC. That’s why I build my own Navigation Computer that can autonomously jump the carrier as far as the tritium in the tank and hold allows it to jump.
I tested the Navigation Computer with some short trips (5 to 7 consecutive 500 LY jumps) the last couple of hours to sort out the bugs in the programming. It looks like it’s ready for it’s first big test, 44 jumps from Diso to Colonia.
So anybody interested in joining (with a fleet) to Colonia to test the Navigation Computer? I will depart in about 24 hours from Diso on Monday afternoon 15th of June at 20:00 local Spanish time (18:00 UTC). Total trip of 44 jumps will take about 15 hours (if the navigation software is not glitching). The carrier will stay in and around Colonia for a week and will return somewhere on or after next weekend. Carrier is in the Diso system at the moment and will stay there till tomorrow.
CMDR: Kuif
Carrier Name: Black Pearl - ID: (V20-J1M)
Active modules: Refuel, Repair, Armoury, Shipyard
Although I have enough Tritium for the journey any donation of tritium is welcome. I will open up a cheap buy order for Tritium for CMDR’s that like to donate for the trip.
Let me know in this thread if you are joining or send a friend request in game

It is frowned upon, due to people using them for powerplay etc, those tend to include software to fly the player ship. This tool is more about moving carriers long range, something that should have been included with the launch.
And the Pearl arrived at 09:21 UTC. Two Navigation Computer glitches and after plotting the final jump towards Colonia the game started to hang and crashed with several Cobra's of different color. Fortunately the parking space at Colonia was still available, not busy there at all.
Even though I'm tempted to take a suiwinder back home with my Alt to take advantage of the actual mining situation and try to set up a Bus-Service to Colonia later with that account. But that needs further thinking about it, I guess.
Cant the automate LTD mining @ new Borann? I want to just fly a shield tank cutter miner there, and set it to auto, and let it prospect and collect LTD all by itself, the auto fly to the best sell price selling station, auto fuelscooping on the way, auto doc, auto sell, auto limpet and fuel restock, auto repair if needed. the auto jump back to the new borann rings.
Then i will manually fly it to the hotspot zone, and set it on auto again, i dont want to be lazy!!! All in solo of course.
Okay, so that sounds like a decent proof-of-concept, and nice job being so quick out the gate. That said, regular users who don't feel like doing their own coding might do better to wait for the inevitable Voice Attack plugin that does the same thing.Heheheh, my plan is to make it public but it is in a very alpha state right now. I started developing it last week and I had to teach myself some C# and study the Third Party API, DirectX keybindings and log files.
Furthermore it's hard coded with my keyboard, key bindings and max cargo capacity of the Cutter that I'm using to transfer Tritium. Also I think it is only working when there is only Tritium in the hold of either the ship or the FC. Did not test with other commodities on board. Not sure if I can figure out how to navigate to the Tritium in the cargo transfer screen when other commodities are in the mix.
But I guess I need some Alpha-/Beta testers to test out the computer![]()
Indeed - good luck to anyone who wants to try automating mining using only what's in the journal files!If that question was serious - can yes, but legally no.
It boils (very roughly) down to that you can automate anything you can do without once looking at the screen.

It already exists in its original form. You can click on the link it Kuif's #12 post and then make changes to the entries. It even uses similar drop-down menus found in INARA. Keep in mind that you will probably encounter the same glitches Kuif ran into when making his trip.
Well... not exactly. At least as I understood his explanation, that's only the flight route which is then copied as .csv file into Kuif's software, isn't it ?
