Did anyone manage to find out what the Location and TargetLocation values in CareerTrack.upc represent? I noticed some pretty small floats (exponential e-45?)

A big thanks goes to elanaiba for taking time to answer my question:



Well, programmers (specifically Mihai Maerean) helped me dug this info and the answer is TargetLocation holds longitude and latitude (in that order) of sunk ship, measured in METERS from origin point (0,0 is Greenwich meridian intersected with Equator)

FYI the location field - the line above TargetLocation - is not used/properly recorded.


That was my first thought, yet I'm afraid this field too isn't recorded properly.
