Hey all,
I had an idea and I'm not sure if it's been suggested before, although I suspect I am not the first to think or suggest it. I looked around a bit and didn't see anything like it, but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.
The Idea
A 3rd Route planning option that would be invaluable to people trading large quantities over short distances. We have the most economical route, which is typically a very large number of jumps which I've found on average take up about 25-30 seconds of time each. That can make some trips very very long, even if "economical". We also have the fastest which simply calculates the farthest you can jump given whatever your load is, and calculates the absolute shortest route you could manage, at the cost of massive amounts of fuel, which in most cases for larger fuel tanks over short distances is still only 1 tanks worth.
I'd like to see a balanced option which would be based on the fastest route you could manage on a single tank of fuel. Much like the economical option, but taking out a few unnecessary steps. I feel like this option would be even more valuable than the economical path-making since fuel really is not that expensive.
Thoughts?
