Unread post So, I was trying to Express Col the other day...
...trying to break into an established game (all I have time for these days), I'm using a Jump Point and plot course lengths (base -> Jump Point, Terra -> Base). 13 Hops each way (3(13 * 2) = 78 ORE/Trip).. I manually record a macro --cause I don't trust myself like I use too. I end up with with 48 Holds of Fuel Ore left over.. and I'm like: WTF?.. so I recalculate, manually plot Warp Courses, re-record the macro. Again, I end up with 48 Holds of unused Fuel ORE.

Okay. It's been a while since I've done this.. so I do it all again --load up Windows Calculator; same result. Of the 78 Holds of ORE I should be using I'm only burning 30Holds. I don't want to admit how much time I spent on this, but I did realize that Avoids were set whilst moving around (Armids are everywhere). Cleared Avoids, and volla course length is actually 5Hops each way.... Phew!! ...life makes sense again.

Not a BLOG or TWEET, I swears :roll:

Don't feel bad. I forgot the "^" command and had to look at one of my scripts to get it.
