Route planner

The route planner helps you scout paths before you commit to a haul. Enter a start and destination, pick ship and fuel, and Pelusium computes the authoritative route.

Use it from Shipping → Routing in the Pelusium app.

What you can do

• Plan a route — Enter start and destination systems, ship, fuel, and cargo mass.
• Build a route — Pelusium computes hops, distance, and jump radius from your ship profile.
• Copy the route — Use Copy route to share the exact path with a pilot, corp channel, or planning note.
• Visualize on EF-Map — After building a route, click Click here to render the map with this service to open an embedded EF-Map view of your path.

Route options

The route card has several choices:

• Optimize: distance — Prefer shorter total distance.
• Optimize: fuel — Prefer a route based on fuel use when fuel data is available.
• Optimize: hops — Prefer fewer jumps.
• Ship — Pick the ship profile used for route math.
• Fuel — Pick the fuel type used with that ship profile.
• Cargo mass (kg) — Cargo weight used in jump performance calculations. Heavier cargo can change the route a ship can make.
• Manual jump radius (LY) — A direct jump-radius override. It is used only when Use manual jump radius is checked.

If you are using real ship data, leave Use manual jump radius off and pick a ship and fuel. Use the manual radius when you are experimenting, testing a known max jump range, or planning with a ship profile that is not listed yet.

Reading the result

After a route is built, Pelusium shows:

• The optimization mode used.
• The ship or manual jump setting.
• The fuel used for the calculation.
• The calculated jump radius when available.
• The total hop count.
• The ordered Route text from start to destination.

Use the route text as a planning reference. Before flying, confirm the destination, cargo, and job terms in-game and in the shipping job you are signing.

If routing is unavailable

Sometimes the map can still show a showcase starfield while live routing is not available. In that state you can explore the visuals, but Build route may be unavailable or may ask you to wait for the connected catalog.

Try refreshing the page, waiting a few seconds, and checking that the systems you typed match the suggestions shown by the app. If it still does not work, see Troubleshooting.
