icarus VS EDDI

So I strongly suggest icarus, especially if you have a tablet collecting dust (I bought one just for this). Material helper is an absolute must, so is an account on inara.cz.

From my POV, the game has only one major flaw: it became too big, but the UI didn't match that to help the players. Basically: without inara.cz, material helper and icarus, it is just too confusing and hard to get around.

Icarus Terminal is another app that send data to tables in LAN.

I created the API so I could use it with ICARUS Terminal as there aren't any services which provide an API for trade data, but I expect I will build out the website a bit too to add features.

I have released a web front end for this yet (or integrated it into ICARUS Terminal) but it's the only open source version of a currently active service like this, so I thought I'd share it, and the new API documentation for other developers.

More details in the link above, but tl;dr this is in part to support features I want to add to ICARUS Terminal and also to fill a gap left by EDDN shutting down.

This is something I've written, but you might find a use for ICARUS Terminal: https://github.com/iaincollins/icarus

They are ICARUS Terminal :-)

If you have a tablet sitting idle: icarus.

I don't publish a native binary for Linux, but there is a setup guide for ICARUS Terminal for Linux (because I do use Linux and macOS for development) at https://github.com/iaincollins/icarus

Alternatively, because Elite doesn't bother to tell you why, download and use a program called EDDI. It will tell you why you aren't able to dock. If it's purely betno pads are available, just wait. It will tell you if the size requirements aren't right either.

If you are exploring in the black, mapping new systems, you would also need to run something like EDDI or EDDLite configured to send data to ESDM.net for the best experience.

It is still best to use something like EDDI or EDDLite to send data EDSM but ICARUS Terminal will blend that data with your local scan data to provide real time updates to a second screen as you explore when using a Discovery Scanner, Full Spectrum Scanner or Surface Scanner.

This. Voice Attack + EDDI integration can do it:

GitHub link for EDDI. I love this program. It's my COVAS on steroids and is customizable to the extreme. Official Forum link for EDDI

Elite Dangerous Data Interface

EDDI as a plugin for VA which gives you access to loads of variables and statuses within VA to build commands with. For example {BOOL:Status lights on} would tell you if vehicle lights are on or off. (Note it should automatically start as plugin with VA, it can be started standalone but it's very talkative by default and will conflict with VA).

One such software is the Elite Dangerous Data Interface (EDCD/EDDI). There are others too like the EDMC. Once configured. EDDI integrates data with several different 3rd-party resources such as EDDB, EDSM, EDDN, VoiceAttack and others.
