Odyssey Expansion - Returning player
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.
-
Odyssey
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.

External apps for Elite?
Icarus Terminal is another app that send data to tables in LAN.
-
ardent-industry.com - Trade & Exploration data
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.
-
Ardent API for EDDN now in Beta
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.
-
Ardent Industry API for Elite Dangerous, includes Trade data (Alpha)
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.

Linux CMDRs...utilities?
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

- 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!
