why not just parse the dump every tick and update coords based on what smokeh said ruler/planet name, or just parse it when the user logs in...even better

Entropy - That's not the problem, the database updates all coordinates and scores and stuff every hour, so that's all well and good. The problem (although it's not a very big one) is that it can't really handle at the moment if you, say, try to parse a scan that's a couple of days old where one of the planets involved in the scan has moved. That would give rise to false information. However, if one simply double checks that all planets in the scan are still there, at least when you're trying to parse an old scan, then it's no problem.
