Mining Prices Overhaul

[jammi]

What are your travel times based on?

Mining bases placed in the centre of the primary mining field for each ore/destination using FLC. It's been pointed out that the default cruise speed setting for FLC is 290m/s though, so routes involving large amounts of open space are going to be slightly skewed.

We're going to adjust the speed up to the Discovery standard and then recalculate and see where that leaves us. That said, we've tested a few of the more lane based routes, and the FLC timings have come out as astoundingly accurate. This method can be used to calculate route times from ore fields, PoBs or whatever.

All you need to do is double click on the area of the map you want the temporary base to appear at. You can either then go to another system in the drop-down menu and return, or select another base in the system and hit the "<-" return button. Either will cause "Mining Base" to appear in the drop-down selection of bases for that system.

From there, use the "To" selection filter to find your destination and check the timings.
