ECell usage inconsistency [Updated]
Disregard what I previously wrote. I got a better look at what happened. It takes 20 jumps to get from Nathan's Voyage Beta to Ceo's Sprite. But it takes 22 jumps to get from Ceo's Sprite to Nathan's Voyage Beta. Somehow, the pathfinding takes 2 extra sectors to make the return trip.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?

I don't have Nathan's Beta in my playthrough, but don't see any discrepancies in similar sectors. Have you tried checking the energy consumption on the jump-map to see where the extra e-cells are used?
Re: ECell usage inconsistency [Updated]
What jump map? The usual one when you order a jump?
Re: ECell usage inconsistency [Updated]
The path planning routine takes into account the actual distance travelled. So it will always pick the shortest path. This is not necessarily the least amount of jumps. So the number of jumps to get somewhere can depend on where you are in the sector, and where your target is in the destination sector (ie if you are jumping to a station)
Re: ECell usage inconsistency [Updated]
I am instructing the ships to jump from a beacon in Nathan's Beta and a beacon I put in CEO's Sprite right on top of the Shipyard and back. The distance should be the same in both directions with only a few km difference due to arrival variations at the Nathan's Beta beacon. Even when I'm out of the sector and the ships jump on top of the beacon in both sectors, the difference in jump fuel costs is still there.

Re: ECell usage inconsistency [Updated]
As my current game has the Nathans-Voyage-beta-sector or recreated the situation: placed JumpBeacons there and into CeosSprite (propably note in the exact same location) and jumped a Mammoth and a MobPirateBase back and forth - always needing 400 eCells for both ships regardless of direction.
Is your HUB connected somewhere along the way? I think I have seen this messing up 'route planing' ... but 40 eCells = 2 sectors ... dunno.
My HUB is still connected in the 'Dukes Solution" (Holy Vision/PerpSin, HolyVision/Void, Maelstrom/TradePort(?)) ... think I will finaly change that setting...
Re: ECell usage inconsistency [Updated]
My Hub is connected to Spaceweed Grove, Cloudbase South East and Unseen Domain. I don't think any of those are along that path.
Re: ECell usage inconsistency [Updated]
Did you ever figure this out?
Re: ECell usage inconsistency [Updated]
Couldn't. Too many variables.
