My current version is in Google Docs (Spreadsheet), requires manual input for every price, and is generally terrible :P That's one of the reasons I'm upgrading from it to something a bit more usable. What are you writing your program in and are you planning on making it open source (or atleast open use)? (If you're already making a program, I'll give yours a try before I write my own ) I actually was just looking around for a way to get current contracts to see how much stuff is worth when I found this thread.
I find this ironic because I was JUST thinking about trying to code something like this myself, lol. I ask because I'm working on a tool to figure out the best profits from LP stores, and while I have a version already working for a limited subset of the stores, it'd be nice to be able to integrate it with some other database lookups I have, and to not have to re-do my existing hand-coded ones again - if I have to manually enter the offers for each LP store that's fine, I just want to know before I waste more time looking :P If you want good LP returns, you would be better off looking elsewhere and stop gaining more LP with fed navy.Īlternate question, related enough to the OP's I didn't think it was worth starting a new thread:Īre the LP store offers anywhere in the bulk data dump CCP provides, or are they strictly server-side? If strictly server-side, is there any reasonable way to get a dump of the data from the ellatha DB? fed navy is one of the groups that has lvl 5 agents, meaning there are lots of people looking to dump LOTS of LP all the time, as well as it being one of the most popular corps to run for (because of dodi). but I've always found that the fastest way to dump them is implants, though the conversion ratio isn't that good (still better then navy mega's though, because FW peeps get them for like half the required LP amount). I have like -4 standing with caldari, and I can convert for them just as easily as I can for gallente, which I have a standing of 9.0 with.Īs for what to buy using Fed Navy LP. Your personal standing with these corps doesn't matter. However, you can use them at any other empire LP store, though the conversion ratios can change (ex. but a little bit of time with google or looking through old dev blogs and you'll probably find it). And yes, this was a deleberate decision on the part of CCP (no, I don't have the link, cause I was first researching it about 9 months ago.
There is simply no option to convert them, whether you are part of FW or not. One of the restrictions on concord LP is they can't be used at any FW militia store, or any pirate faction LP store. It seems I'd save a lot of concord LPs if I could use them at the FW store instead of the other stores. On a different point, can I join a FW militia, convert concord LPs, and then leave the militia? I notice I can't even get a good price on faction ammo, as Fed navy ammo sells for much less than caldari navy hybrid ammo, despite having the exact same stats. In general, what is the best use of fed navy LPs?
