    Hi,

    A tool that displays the absolute pathing distance between two points.

    Bonus if you can select the regions you travel through.

    I will even help collect the data.

      Thanks, Rex.
      While the map layout is static and grid positions are identical across all servers (which makes me wonder why they didn’t use procedurally generated maps to add some freshness each season), the status of placeable objects like gates is unknown and unique. Pathing heavily depends on the accessibility of acceleration gates, stargates, outposts, and headquarters. The travel differences can be massive – imagine someone bubbles a gate or captures an acceleration point. Suddenly, all your calculations become obsolete.

    Hi!
    Can we get an example about Hyperion (commanders/skills/gun etc)

    “Best pick: Encirclement. Counters the tanky first wave and avoids penalties in the next two. This is why strong Encirclement fleets like Abaddon or Hyperion can solo these.”

      Abbadon is so much better that I discarded Hyperion. But you can try Victor and Falek, default gun.
