new here, it all looks good so far.

Anyone else seeing that the ED equipment searches seem a bit hit and miss?

Been after an A3 fuel scoop for ages, currently at Tun.
cheers...

hi there, welcome to the site Wave

as for your fuel scoop, you dont see:

I would try and pick a place that has been updated recently, as equipment at stations can vary quite often.

ps. Im in Berkshire, so im not too far from you :p

I'll check it again, but when I tried a few days ago, at least 2 sites that should have had it had no stock, and they were recent too.

Anyway, it's a big blummen universe, can't be expected to keep track of everything... Definitely a great resource though!

Berkshire - pretty much a Nearby Town!

Just tried again for an A3 Fuel Scoop, went to Apala (Wilson City) - one was there 8 hours ago. Not now.... Anyone know how the updates get applied to this site, please? Happy to contribute if it's something a simpleton like me could handle.

It also says there's one at Aktzin (2 days ago) - nope, either...

hi there, the updates come from EDDN - a large trading network that updates all the sites who use it. I do know equipment can change fairly often, so even 8 hours may not be fast enough.

One of the common ways to update EDDN is using the E:D Market Connector. One of the downsides is that it needs your username/password, so I can understand why some people dont want to use it. Other than that, there isnt really another way of updating the equipment list quickly. We (fansites) want a better way of getting this information from the game, but until elite come-up with an API this is what we have for now.
