EDDiscovery VS EDPathFinder

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.

I'm looking for a tool to help plot multiple tourist/sightseeing waypoints. Preferably that can import missions from ED to minimized having to type/search for every single waypoint individually. I was hoping to use EDPathfinder (https://github.com/neotron/EDPathFinder), which advertises the functions I want, but it doesn't actually work. It can't read missions with multiple destinations properly, which I pointed out 2 years ago. But it hasn't been updated for 3 years, so I'm not holding out hope for a fix.

this is what i use when i want to plot a route to multiple sites. https://github.com/neotron/EDPathFinder

Just to get a little exploration data to sell. I only scanned the elw's and terraformable water worlds. Made me about 9 million. I think it was 5 planets to scan. Good tool to find the high paying planets. https://github.com/neotron/EDPathFinder

https://github.com/neotron/EDPathFinder Great tool. Loads of systems close to, and in, the bubble which can net you 8-12M per system scanning only the ELW's and terraformable water worlds. Don't grind. Mix it up. Some mining, some missions, some exploration data, and you'll make 256M in no time and the first decent trip it pays for itself and then some.

Good exploration data, if you mean in terms of credits gained, is basically Earth Like Worlds and terreformable planets. The best paying are the ELW's and terreformable water worlds. If you just want the money this tool is great at plotting you a route https://github.com/neotron/EDPathFinder There plenty of credits to be had in the bubble, Bizarrely You can often scan planets that are already populated for a sizeable reward! If you want to get 'First discovered /Mapped" you need to get out of the bubble. Set your galaxy map to only route you through stars of classes A, K and G. This https://old.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/9t0wow/fss_frequency_array_diagram_now_with_patterns/ can help learning how to spot water worlds and elw's with the fss scanner. I tend to only surface scan ELW's and terreformable water worlds. Other terraformables (and everything else) I leave unless in binary orbit with something I'm scanning. This chart is good for the values https://old.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/avsszo/updated_visual_guide_to_scan_values_in_33/
