 New faction pages Posted by Roguey 2 comments
For awhile ive had a few people asking me if it would be possible to make the faction section modifiable (so missing factions could be added).

 Equipment import from EDDN Posted by Roguey 0 comments
Awhile back I added partial support for EDDN to the site - this meant I had to leave my own pc on. With some help from balboatech.com we managed to turned that into full updates, so we had 24hour coverage from EDDN, updating wares and ship sale locations. Today ive found out that outfitting has b ... » Read more |

 Full EDDN Updates Posted by Roguey 0 comments
Awhile back (if you remember) I created a connection between the site and EDDN - massively increasing the amount of updates from a couple a day, to 500+. However to do that I had to leave my own PC on; my pc was acting as a listener to EDDN. I had to do this because you need to install certain softw ... » Read more |

Trade Helper mk2 improvements Posted by Roguey 0 comments
Today I was checking out a trade-run from reddit when I noticed that the most profitable trip was being shown in the Trade-helper Mk2 , but not the return trip. I had a look at the code and noticed that it wouldnt show it because of how it was designed (if two places sold the same ware, it would onl ... » Read more |

EDDN is a large trading network, where fellow commanders submit ware/ship prices to a feed using programs such as EliteOCR etc. EDDN is used by a few sites, as its one of the biggest res ... » Read more |

A while back, there was a bit of a up-roar when Frontier decided to release Elite: Dangerous on Steam. The move came out-of-the-blue and meant store players (including those with alpha/beta backers) were unable to add Elite to their Steam accounts. Many of these players spent fair amount of money ba ... » Read more |
