EDDiscovery VS ed-scout

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.

You have EDScout, that see if your current route have been submited to EDDB. Don't know if keep working.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned ED Scout yet. It’s an incredibly helpful tool for exploration. Here is a short review video of the tool.

Pretty sure edscout may have something you are looking for. It tells you the value and some quick info about planets

just pick up a detailed surface scanner and fuel scoop then you're set, ED Scout is something worth considering too.

If you are on PC, there is a 3rd party tool that really helps with this called ED Scout. It will tell you the approximate value of a planet before you surface scan it so you don't waste your time scanning worthless planets. It's really great. Here is an EXAMPLE of a system in ED Scout that I scanned recently. The list of planets at the top are "high value targets" that the tool recommended I scan. The list of planets below that are the ones I actually scanned. You can download the tool and learn more HERE.

The app is a bit flakey and stops working pretty regularly. To fix this, just close it, and then relaunch it. You can get it HERE.

ED Scout is much more compact and less featured, but has the ability to display output to a tablet or phone, in case you don't have a second monitor. https://github.com/joncage/ed-scout

Just looked it up on EDcodex, looked cool, installed the .exe from this link and it's instantly working lol Thx OP! I had some extra space on the tablet and a dire need for this tool!
