Hi, all. I think I know the answer to this but since my search-fu is failing me and I can't confirm it, I am going to ask.
I'm working on a tool to help select what combination Passenger Lounge missions it is possible to take and which ones are "optimal" in terms of reward or distance traveled or some combination there-of. The idea is a sort of SatnavPlus.
I'm not asking for a way to pick up available missions when not on the Passenger Lounge screen. I know they can change every time you enter the Passenger Lounge, even if it has only been seconds since you last checked. I only want it to pick up the missions (and do it's calculations) when you enter the screen.
The closest I have found is something (pre-Beyond) that uses screen scrapes and OCR! While I'm sure that could be made to work, just seems a bit over engineered. I also play the game in VR and I don't even want to think about how that would work!
The tool code so far works OK once it has the data available, but at the moment it involves painstakingly typing the required data out manually, which can take 5-10 minutes, throws any idea of efficiency out of the window and is susceptible to the accidental pressing of the back button!
Anyway, I don't think it is possible, but in the vain hope someone knows something...
Thanks,

Edit: I should add I know that the Accepted Missions are available in the Journal, so that is an option I guess, but it would then restrict it to optimising a limited set of missions that might take you across the bubble several times, which is what I want to avoid.
