Elite Dangerous - Trading Tools - OCR - Progress Pt6

Update: You can now support this project at Patreon!


Armed with some of my data I've had two stabs at making use of the data, and so here's the first peek at the tool I've thrown together to let me make use of the information, one simply selects the start system and then the destination system and the best commodity (for profit) is calculated.

You can also refine the start point by station or specifically a commodity, before you select the destination to give a specific start point and be given the best profit item.

The next feature I'm going to add is a box to enter the name of a commodity and find where it's sold as a list of system & station names, just as a helper for what's already in the game's galaxy map.

  1. Great work! I wish I was able to do something like this myself, would allow me to finally clear all my trading notes off my desk! One things for sure, since I got Elite my electricity and stationary bills have both shot up!

    1. I've thought about this, however, I'm not entirely sure how to present my product yet, there are other offerings on the forums (TCE, EliteOCR and online tools Pompey's TRC) this is the first tool I'm sort of doing all on my own.

      You may post a reference to me if you wish, but I'm just not going on the forums, not just yet.
