Hey everyone. Recently i've been running mining fleets composed of semi-random people, piloting an Orca booster.
The widely known problem with such fleets, which are composed of merely acquainted pilots, is a fair split of operation's spoils.

So i have spent an evening and wrote this small application (mostly JavaScript) : http://akre.zaar.be/loot

The main idea is that Orca pilot, just before unloading all the mined ore, copies fleet's loot history and feeds it to this parser/analyzer. As result, the app returns list of pilots with amount of every ore/ice mined, and a rough estimate of how much the mined ore worth. Prices are fetched from eve-central API every 4 hours, so they may be slightly inaccurate, or even missing.

Also, the common problem with such kind of tools are ore haulers. By looting jetcans they corrupt fleet's loot history. By logs it appears that a double amount of ore was looted, while in reality the same amount of ore goes to the records twice - for first time the guilty side is miner, who dug ore out of asteroid, for second time - the hauler, who looted miner's jetcan. In the app, you can choose designated hauler (if you have one) and their records do not count to total result nor payroll.

For compensating their efforts (and also to provide a sweet cut to person providing bonuses) there is such thing named "Director's Cut". It is a simple percentage of estimated ISK earned, which goes to needs of haulers and mining link ship pilots.

I will be grateful if you gentlemen test this small applications, providing your loot histories, and share your opinion of bugs, overall performance and usability of this tool.

Best regards,

PS Just forgot! Another common problem are multi-account players. For the purpose of simplifying the accounting for such multitasked pilots, you may choose a patron for each pilot (in "Details" section), who will fully receive this pilot's cut.

Looking forward to your replies,
