Route Finder panel

The ROUTE FINDER discovers the best two-way trade routes (A > B > A > B) between your recorded stations.

Before searching the first time, check the Filter Settings. The distance between trade stations can’t be greater than twice the search range.

Filter Settings
There are many filter options you can use to get the required results. You can set the scan range, the distance between the two stations, the maximum distance from the star of the stations, the jurisdiction, the minimum profit of a commodity per unit, the minimum total profit per route and the minimum stock of the goods of the stations and an important data age filter, which excludes the search of routes, which commodity data is older than the select age. If you find no routes, increase the data age.

To find the best bidirectional trade route, change the profit to one, the stock filter to your maximum loading capability of your space ship and the distance to star to an acceptable distance for you. Let allegiance untouched and set the pad size to medium and large or large only, depending on your current ship type.
