Excellent! Just what I was looking for.
Thx.
2850 * 135.8 = 387030
1830 * 127.2 = 232776
452580/232776 = 1.662

my planet trader trackes and filters mcic data in order to bypass the bad ports. Has anyone ever done the math on mcic vs amount of product on port vs dist to jump and the amount of turns used to gasup vs higher mcic values? for example a -60 mcic buying 2850 eq vs a -48 mcic buying 1830 and the distance to jump |

With all things mathy comparison-esq, you need a metric. Cash per unit ore sounds like a good one to me. Well, actually since ore cost is the same for each hop you could just do credits per hop. So first determine the amount of cash the port will provide. You probably don't need to worry about the complex haggle stuff, since most of it will be the same from port to port. You could probably just do the (initial offer * amount) for that. Linky: http://tw-cabal.navhaz.com/strategy/hagglelessons.html 2850 * 158.8 = 452580 1830 * 127.2 = 232776 452580/232776 = 1.944 So anything >= to a 2:1 ratio would be worth it there. If the good port is 20 hops and the crappy port is 10 hops, 22629/hop vs 23277/hop. So all you need is to store the MCICs into a parm as you see them, store the initial haggle values in an array and off you go. Assume an average MCIC for unvisited ports I guess, or maybe a -65 to get it in the DB. Either way... From there scan thru the array of fit ports and find the most efficient creds/hop, go to that port, trade, repeat. All of that is only really useful until ports are developed tho, obviously. |
