...I'm sorry. Please give me some elbow room, I'm either confused by this program or its simply not for me.
So to have commodity prices for the stations, I have to literally fly to each one of them, land/dock, scan, and do that over and over again to populate my database? Do they automatically update? Or do I have to rescan them all again for up to date prices?
Aren't there websites that can calculate trade routes automatically? And don't they pull in information from ALL stations automatically? I know the data is only as current as when the last player updated their commodity prices....but the stations are all there right? And its just up to you if you're going to accept 'old' prices...
Again, absolutely NO bashing here. Swear to god. I'm just trying to get my head around this. It just seems like, as a trader, I would want a large database to extract a good trade route, and with this extension add-on I would literally have to visit the...hundreds?thousands?...of stations by hand, manually. If that is the case, I don't mind alt-tabbing out the game and comparing 'older' prices on eddn or thrudds.
Is there a way for this app to connect to those trade websites via some kind of API or something? Again, I'm just trying to learn how this program works exactly. I'm admitting my ignorance. But I'm still madly impressed with the creativity/work of the author. Some people are crazy talented!
