EDDiscovery VS EDEngineer

EDDiscovery

That's one of the things I like about EDDiscovery's text-to-speech plugin, when you're jumping to a system where you'll arrive at a white dwarf / neutron star it gives you an audible warning to throttle down during your hyperspace jump. Something along the lines of "Warning: star is dangerous. Throttle down now!"

EDDiscovery or EDMC to update the EDDN and have useful information at your fingertips. I prefer EDDiscovery, hugely useful for explorers. Link your account to keep your info up to date and keep the community up to date to allow nearly all these other tools to work.

YouTube, Reddit, and the forums are your friend, there are also many the third party sites and applications available to help you to navigate and locate facilities within the game. The most commonly recommended site is Inara and the applications recommended to support it are ED Market Connector or ED Discovery. The applications send market data that Inara use to keep track of the trade markets, they include search functions which help you to find what stations have what services, including what ships and modules are available. Inara can also track your commander data to if you make an account and link it to your Frontier account.

(In case you haven't done so yet I suggest running EDDiscovery or EDDLite so it'll be recorded/updated to EDAstro.)

On PC I was using EDD, which integrates with sites like Inara.cz

My personal choice at the moment is EDMC; it has plugin support with some being very useful for exploration. Already mentioned is EDDiscovery - this is a more 'full on' tool but it's packed with features. There's also a new-ish one I've not yet tried myself that's designed to be far more light-weight; EDDLite.

Oh also a great utility to have installed if on PC is EDDiscovery it provides a ton of information that can be very useful. If you ever setup accounts on 3rd party sites such as EDSM, Inara, Coriolis, ED Shipyard, ED Astro, or EDDN Network among others it can integrate with those accounts as well!

If you run ED Market Connector or ED Discovery in the background, they send the market data that Inara uses to track commodity prices.

EDDiscovery, Organic scans window/tab. It will also tell you the total value before the bonus.

yes, lots of people. there are threads about it on the github page actually. heres an example: https://github.com/msarilar/EDEngineer/issues/132

this is worth watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkr8wWW94dw in conjunction with this https://github.com/msarilar/EDEngineer which lets you set up a shopping cart for end-result engineering and where to get it.

If you're going to be doing engineering, you might consider using an app like EDEngineer to keep track of what materials you need. EDEngineer lets you pick what engineering you want to do from a list, and then it looks at your inventory and maintains a "shopping list" of materials you need to get for the engineering you want to do.

You can use the EDEngineer application to keep track of your ship's materials inventories, what materials you need for specific mods, etc. o7

https://github.com/msarilar/EDEngineer <- A great way to make shopping lists for when/If you ever get seriously into engineering.

I'd also recommend using EDEngineer to specify which engineering upgrades you're going for, because EDEngineer will generate you a shopping list of precisely which materials you need (and the list updates itself in real time as you gather mats).
