- Is this a good system?

what do you think about portals or wormholes in elite?
You have EDScout, that see if your current route have been submited to EDDB. Don't know if keep working.
-
What do you use to enhance your experience?
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.
-
Fighter jets show the direction the plane is travelling on the HUD, would this be a useful feature in E:D (especially low-altitude flying)?

Simple question
Pretty sure edscout may have something you are looking for. It tells you the value and some quick info about planets
-
Got my Cobra and 750k. Reckon I'm good to go exploring now.
just pick up a detailed surface scanner and fuel scoop then you're set, ED Scout is something worth considering too.
-
Is it worth doing the scans?
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.

This system I scanned came to a value of over 8 mil! Now is a really good time to turn it in with the current CG bonus of x3 value to exploration data.
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.

Exploring Credits
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

Felt like i'd hit the motherlode
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!

CMDRs with a second screen, what do you have on it while playing?
Almost always will have OD Explorer running on the second screen. A lightweight application showing you valuable planet scans on your nav route: https://github.com/WarmedxMints/OD-Explorer/releases
-
Looking for 3rd party tools for exploration!
If you are on Odyssey use OD Explorer instead - https://github.com/WarmedxMints/OD-Explorer/releases
-
Is there a tweakable "interesting stuff" finder/locator?
ODExplorer has this functionality too. You can either setup your own criteria for what constitutes something interesting, or you can use one of its built-in presets that will automatically highlight the corresponding bodies.
-
How do you know when to stop and scan planets while exploring?
OD-Explorer will show you all systems on your way with approx value, if star is fuel able and if system is virgin.
-
Is this a good system?
As the OP said, this is EdScout. However, it doesn't work very well with Odyssey. If you have Odyssey, then you will want to use OD-Explorer instead. It is very similar to EdScout.
-
The EDDiscovery app floats when I drag it.
Exploration - OD Explorer
- am i doing something wrong?
- Exobiology tracking

Exobiology Questions…
I really like the look of ODExplorer even though it only shows you the highest values upon arrival in system... but those are really the only ones you want right? If you fully explorer the system ODE will show those details too.
