This is the reason I deleted Teladi 2.2c and started using your scripts. I noticed (esp in SETA) ships idling to 0 and sitting for periods of time (even my own ship) before continuing on their way. Haven't had any probs with this using your script.mr_south wrote: An ultimate solution for this is to re-evaluate the situation frequently when it's flying. We are actually working on this now, but there's a big technical issue: balancing between the AI and the game performance. We don't want to consume too much processing power for this.
As far as the logic goes for checking during the course of a trading run, another thing Teladi would do occasionally is travel say two sectors east to get cheap food or whatever, decide when it was almost there that it could get it cheaper 4 sectors west, (due to a change in supply no doubt) turn around and travel west, and then again when it was almost there turn around again and head back towards the first factory. (while using Hermes, so it's not like I was using slow Dolphins).
Maybe the frequency of checks could be limited and some additional logic placed that forces any change in destination to be at most the same distance from the ship as the current target factory. (It will change destination if it is cheaper and closer/same, but if it's farther it will just keep going to the current target)
I'm not a scripter and have no idea how to code it, but might help make your already fantastic scripts better.
