Plod plugin.
Plod: You do the flying.
===============
Plod will plot a course between two sectors. When you arrive at your destination, it automatically plots a course back to the original sector (and repeats). If you define a trade item, plod will buy or unload cargo when docking at stations in those sectors.
Plod now has a mission mode in which it will listen to mission updates and automatically plot the course to and from a sector, buy and unload cargo at stations.
Usage.
=====
Turn plod off: /plod off
To start mission mode: /plod mission
Here are some examples of manually defining sectors and trade items. Don't put quotes around the arguments (as in a previous version). '.' is the current sector; you can also use 'current'. The trade item is case sensitive.
/plod sol e15 geira i5 XiRite Alloy
/plod . geira o4 Basic Targeting Systems
/plod a12 j6

I changed the way manual arguments are handled and added a mission mode for automatic behavior. This was tested mainly with hive skirmish and trade guild missions.
I've updated the original post accordingly.

would it be possible to use this plugin to "plod" the universe for buying a LARGE amount of commodities for something like say.. the centurion superlight (which takes something like 400-650cu just to do the mission to make it)... and without having to manually enter each 'arguement' to go around to the different stations to get those commodities?
like maybe save a multi trip 'route' to go to the different stations to get the commodities needed
and how well would it handle something like getting sent home by a bot in a storm or whatnot while in the middle of a 'route'?

I hope that it will be possible to do that. I'm working on Trade Assist integration now to try and make the trip profitable in both directions. I also plan to do some real navigating because I found that when I was raising faction in grey space that I preferred to go a longer route to avoid B8. As I continue to develop the plugin I'll keep your large commodity usage in mind. So...I guess I'm saying: Yes, but not soon.
Plod only sets a destination with the nav computer, so the normal Vendetta behavior would apply if you died mid route.
