Would love to see someone do something I have never seen before and this would be a great program for it. Quite simply put, allowing the same program to be used by multiple users & characters. Basically a whole corporation industry/trade manager

Two features I would love to see, one of them would be easy and the other a little harder, I think.

The first and easier one, would it be possible to add an orders tab of recently expired orders? It could show both buy and sell orders that have either been completely filled, or timed out. That way I wouldn’t have to correlate what orders I had placed with what eve mentat shows me I still have. A simple list would be awesome.

The second one, and harder I think, would it be possible to have orders be cross-referenced between characters in the program? For example, I have a market alt that buys a lot of things, ships them, and then direct trades them to another character, who sells them. But as it stands right now, eve mentat assumes that the one character is making no money while the other one has no costs (and infinite profit, lol). I’ve been using self-cost to set them all, but it’s very tedious running through it all.

Other than that, awesome tool, thanks much! Iskies will be sent your way at some point.

I do think you should have the feature for importing from eve-central in the top priority?

Hi Thart, great product! I love how simple it is to set the Self Cost correctly, really quite an original and nice feature. Donated a bit of ISK to you, although it’s not a lot I hope it helps

I do have some requests:
1. Taxes! Current profit is calculated, if I’m correct, without taking taxes into account. I could set Self Cost higher to reflect them, but that’s a bit of a bore and time sink, calculating taxes manually all the time. Could you perhaps add an option where I can set my buy and sell taxes and have them automatically subtracted from profit.
2. On the right-click menu in the buy orders tab there’s no option to set Self Cost to the buy price instantly. Currently I can do “Copy Price” then “Set Self Cost” then “Paste”, but I think a “Set Self Cost To X”, where X is the buy price, would increase efficiency and clarity of the program.

Those two are it for now. I’d also like to point out I can’t wait for the “Retrieving market information from EVE Online cache” feature. If you implement that this program would be unstoppable. The EVEC import feature would be great as well!

Anyway, good luck on your program and I’ll make sure to keep donating some ISK on every update.

Market tab, deviation price between buy and sell.. so i can tell how skewed sell is from actual buy orders and vice versa..

I want to be able to see at a glance if the buy and sell orders are pretty close in price, meaning the region is in good balance and the supply/demand of that item is causing it to equalize and more likely the product is bought and sold more often with realistic prices.

should be weighted with number of orders (not quantity per order) so like an median (dropping the extremes) comparison percent up or down.

example:

6 buy orders at 300 median
12 sell orders at 325 median

instant sell is at -8%

vs.

2 buy at 10 median (if you can call it that with such small data pool)
5 sell at 370 median

instant sell is at -98% or inconclusive due to small data pool

Would tell me that the item A is in higher demand at the snapshot and more likely will move and can instant sell for near market value compared to item B.

Thank you very much for this awesome tool. I just came by to vote for API proxy support, please!

Hey guys really great work. One thing I am on a mac and I run Mentat through VMware and I’m having issues linking the mac cache folder with Mentat. Is there any way I can just link the cache folder directly and have it pull from there?

Also I think it would be very beneficial if you could look at an item and see how much profit you are making per active day or by time period. You can kind of do this now by searching your transaction history and then calculating taxes plus or minus what you have in stock or in the market. But an integrated tool would be useful especially if you could rank all of your items. When you dabble in a few hundred items it becomes hard to tell which are worth keeping around and which make you profits but so far apart its not worth it.

hi i would love to have the tool calculating prices of items in a seperate tab based on imported mineralprices and there mineral composition

Thanks for this very nice tool

I am very impressed with the software and features. Great job.
I often buy bulk from manufacturers via contract, then resell in the market. (ex. contract purchase of 100 strip miner I) Is there any way to include contract details ( item, qty, expenditure) so that I can get an accurate indication of cost and profit, in the same respect that a market purchase is logged as an expenditure. Perhaps something is already in place and I missed it?

Easy feature:

Could you add copy to clipboard support for the transactions, journal, and orders lists?

very handy for making custom reports — I need to figure out total volume for each item over a period of time, to determine manufacturing batch sizes.

Would love to have a way to see what volume of items has been sold via character sell orders in a given time period for a given price range, to help identify how quickly various items are moving / calculate rate of profit for different items.

// thought that does sound similar to what the guy above me asked about, and sounds like 1.2 could be useful. Eve mentat google group , eh? hmmm

Would love to see more support for the corp wallets as that is where I do most of my trading.

Would it be possible to have some kind of import for self costs ? I’m currently calculating those in a spreadsheet taking into account some stuff, and its a living nightmare to import those every time something changes.

Or is it there and am I missing it ?

Hey Thart,

Can you see Corporate Wallets/Journal in your app?

Like a lot of people, I use a 1-man shell corp to manage sales away from the frequently war-dec’d pvp corp that my mains are in. I’d like to see the transactions on that alt corp in the same way/format that you currently display personal transactions.

The display is excellent, it’s just looking at the wrong data to be useful to me.

The API provides it, I know, as you can see it in EVEMon…

Thart,

I just stumbled upon this, and absolutely love it. Sarkyn, and I find ourselves in the same situation. If you could add a corporate Entity similar to the character, and track the wallet divisions similar to the Today, Balance Graph, and Trade Graph. Thanks for the work on a beautiful program that is much needed.
