Horizons proposed new route map filter - is it really of any use?

[peterbbb]

I was trying to think of when I might find the interesting and technically great proposed new route planner filer. Can anyone suggest when it might be useful?

Route only including scoopable stars.

Route only going through anarchy systems.

Route only going through high security systems.

Route only going through ... anything you wish.

I suspect, that with the ability to confirm routes through "safer" space, a much voiced revamp of the criminality system may be in our future.

Yes. I get what one can do but why would one want those options? I would want t a route that meant I could always scoop which does not iteself need *only* scoopable stars. Also if a route cannot be found with a particular filter condition you get the previously found route rather than a best-fit route.

Simply press the radio button to disable this route plot feature, and you're golden.

Route only including scoopable stars... So you don't run out of fuel.


Route only going through anarchy systems... So you can pewpew, collect bounties and increase your combat rank.

Route only going through high security systems... So you can avoid getting blown up.

Route only going through ... anything you wish... e.g. Only non-sequence stars when neutron farming, only systems aligned with the PP power you're aligned with, or economies that buy/sell the most expensive stuff/things.

I think the "best fit" idea is very desirable.

I will use the routing with A, F, G, K systems only...

 

[Alex Brentnall]

Route only through neutron stars and black holes? Farming made easy, just keep an eye on the fuel diverting every now and then & its all good.
If I ever get the urge to do exploration for money (an insane idea fyi) then I'll be doing this with additional fuel tanks.

 

[kalray]

The answer is yes. It would be even more useful if you could combine filters.

It will be superuseful for me as an explorer. When I need to fuel from a star I no longer have to make a new route. I can just toggle the new filters on and off.
