Automatic selling of exploration data

[Pilot Mark]

After coming back from Sag A. 80 million from data.
I am glad there is not an option for sell all.

I planned to unlock system permits with turning in the data,most effective way to get permits without the mission grind.

Picked up 7 permits to locked systems.
Check the permit system update thread for more info on that line. I dumped in around 5-10 million for each faction to get the permits.
Also could be used for rank progression I assume with feds or empire..
Spread the data around for extras.

I did the same when I came back from my last trip, by tweaking the number of repeats you can sort of get it to sell roughly the right amount of data.

Hi, I found that sometimes things got a little out of sync, these steps were introduced to recover from that although most of the time it isn't necessary. If you watch over it you will sometimes see, although it is a bit like watching paint dry after a while. FYI I later introduced a screenshot capture in each cycle just to keep tabs on things.

BTW, step 1 is supposed to select sell page. I am still using an old square monitor 1280x1024 so my cursor positions may be quite different.

Enjoy.

I found that I could not make it to work reliably, so I experimented with VoiceAttack macros.

So using the UI keys to select and confirm the system, and just a single mouse click for the First Discovered By dialog box, it is working well.

Set it going for 1000 systems, should take a little under 3 hours.

Sounds good, you may want to keep an eye on it if you intend to 'spread the love' in favor of picking up system permits, stopping selling when you have enough for the permit.

I'm just happy to sell the data for my first major trip.

Selling one system every 8 secs, 500 so far and 35m in the bank.
I reckon I have about 3000 new systems, so I might make Elite.

The macro is quite simple. You start it with Sell Page highlighted.
Press down, select, down, select, then wait 7 secs and mouse click where the "first discovery" close button it.
And repeat.........

.. I've needed a new way to sell my data, thanks for that macro!
