I found some things that I wanted that weren't present in eve's in-game gate jumping route planner, so I made one for fun and put it up on ec2.

http://ec2-54-242-74-178.compute-1.amazonaws.com/maps/shortest_path/

The main features this has that eve's in game route planner doesn't have:

  • Shortest route to region. If you're currently in Atlanins (in the Everyshore region), and want to do a price check in Verge Vendor, you might not care what system you go to in verge vendor, you just want the quickest path. To do this, you can perform this search: link
  • If you've memorized that area of the map, you might know that path, but personally I never would have guessed it.

  • Avoid systems above a certain security. If you're a dirty pirate like me and cant go into certain hisec systems, you can tell the route planner to avoid all systems above 0.8, like so: link

  • Avoiding entire regions. This is pretty self explanatory. If you don't have the standings for caldari space, but you want to go from dodixie to amarr, you can avoid The Citadel outright: link


I love doing this sort of thing, so if you think of any other things that could make this more useful, let me know.
