FDevIDs VS EDMarketConnector

Some small updates have been made in edmc_data as a part of reviewing the latest update to coriolis-data. We make no guarantee about keeping these parts of edmc_data up to date.Any plugins attempting to use that data should look at alternatives, such as FDevIDs/outfitting.csv.A future update might remove those maps, or at least fully deprecate their use by plugins. Please contact us now if you actually make use of this data.

We now include FDevIDS as a sub-repository, and use its files directly for keeping some game data up to date. This should hopefully mean we include, e.g. new ships and modules for loadout exports in a more timely manner. Developers of third-party plugins should never have been using these files anyway, so this shouldn't break anything for them.

The Elite Dangerous Market Connector, and associated plugins, work great in Whisky. It'll open Safari upon initial launch to authenticate. After that, just launch it after the game and it'll connect with no issues whatsoever. It will not work if you launch it before the game.

(these are downloaded mods) I also use EDHM to change my hud colors cause orange and blue got boring and OD Mission Stacker to efficiently stack massacre missions and ED Market Connector for general info and updating to a lot of other peripheries.

Always run EDMC https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector when you play. It will upload market and other data for your fc as well as any other station/settlement you dock at.

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.
