CMDRS TOOLBOX & Fleet Carrier Router

[Cohen the Worrior]

So we're going from Colonia to Sag A* and decided to take the scenic route.
Put a couple of destinations in the Multi Waypoint Planner to optimize and it's about 50,000 ly.
Now I would like to see the route on the Galaxy map, so I copied the list into spansh, but it only says it can't plot the route.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a know issue? Is there another way?

Hey there,

the easiest and most efficient way of travelling rather long distances is using neutron stars (therefore Spansh). So your idea is right.

Not sure what you mean by you want to see the route on the galaxy map. As far as I know there is no way you can view your Spansh Route on the in-game galaxy map. You have to copy paste the next system into your galaxy map and alt-tab out of the game after every jump.

Plotting longer distances in-game via galaxy map only works if you have travelled those regions before.

Those 2 tools are written by different people. It's unlikely they will work seamlessly together, but you'd have to contact the respective authors for details.

I've never used the Multi-Wavepoint-Planner. I guess it draws system info from EDDN, but don't know. I know spansh uses nightly dumps of the galaxy info (https://www.spansh.co.uk/dumps).

It's possible that the 2 tools don't have the same galaxy info to draw from. I'm just guessing.

Spansh has a button where you can see the route in a 3D galaxy map.

Both tools take information from a simple ascii file.

Anyway, Spansh's Tourist Router did the job.
