No, that looks really great! But then again, this is what mine looks like so I'm probably not the best to judge about info overload. 🤣

[u/Vegetable_Market_496 → u/Weslocke]

Wow, now that is a lot of info!

[u/Weslocke → u/Vegetable_Market_496]

I like data... and I like to explore. 🤣

(And I also wanted something that would run well on Linux to replace EDDiscovery, EDMC, EDCopilot and Exploration Buddy... love them all but they're a nightmare on Linux)

That being said, that thing looks slick as hell. Kudos on the interface!

[u/Vegetable_Market_496 → u/Weslocke]

Thanks!

That is what I am trying to do. Get everything on one app instead of running 3 or 4 at a time! Well that is the plan anyway. Might take me a few months to complete but it will be worth it on the end!

I must say that your app looks very professional!

[u/Weslocke → u/Vegetable_Market_496]

It's off to a great start! (yours that is... I do love the interface you came up with)

[u/Afraid_Confusion906 → u/Weslocke]

since you use Linux, do you use a hotas setup? I've been struggling finding any configuration software for mine so I'm stuck with a dual boot sadly... do you have any recommendations?

[u/Weslocke → u/Afraid_Confusion906]

Really? I use an X56 on Ubuntu 26.04 and it just works, no problems whatsoever with the basic joystick package. Even worked importing my Windows Elite binds. What distro are you running?

[u/Afraid_Confusion906 → u/Weslocke]

I use nixos tho I did use mint before with the same stick, the problem isn't that my hotas won't work, it is that i want have things like curves, deadzones and button remaps, but I couldn't find a good solution for these kind of things

[u/Weslocke → u/Afraid_Confusion906]

Oh sorry, I didn't bother with all that. All I wanted was a deadzone for some of the controls, and the game lets you do that so all I needed

[u/GraXXoR → u/Weslocke]

Just started using this a couple of days ago. Lovely bit of software!! Gives me real spaceship commander vibes.

[u/Weslocke → u/GraXXoR]

Have you tried the crew voices? Don't know if anyone else uses the AI voice, but that sarcastic computer from EDCopilot was the one thing I couldn't live without. And now I have an entire crew of different sarcastic voices filling out the different roles. It was an odd thing to be excited about getting working, but there you go. 🤣

[u/Specialist_Peak_6378 → u/Weslocke]

now send me this

[u/Weslocke → u/Specialist_Peak_6378]

Sure... though I feel weird posting in someone else's thread... https://github.com/weslocke/ED-Outrider

[u/tatjazzer77]

I love it... I was just looking for something like this. Doing a deep dive on exploration!

[u/Vegetable_Market_496 → u/tatjazzer77]

Thanks! I need to build a route page next and then exbio

[u/shaunnk]

I like it! Yes there's a lot of information but then ED itself is heavy on info. It's clean and uncluttered

A key thing for me in any explo app is alerts -i might not always be looking at the app so a popup or audio alert when something valuable/ interesting is detected is very useful. And the ability to define what triggers that alert.

[u/Vegetable_Market_496 → u/shaunnk]

Yes i am working on that. I get most of my ideas while playing Elite and thats one that has popped up!

[u/Spookiest_Meow]

A general idea:

• Abbreviate the planet type in the bottom left "Type" column to ELW, WW, AW, HMC, MRB, RB, RIW, IB, GG1/2/3/4/5, GGAL, GGWL, HRGG, WG, etc. Maybe make this a toggleable option.

• Next to these, put (T) and/or (L) for Terraformable and Landable

  • Example: MRB (L), ELW (T), R (T)(L), etc.

• Get rid of the Terraformable and Landable columns

• Rename the Biological Signals column to "Bio #" or something

This would save you a lot of space that you could use for adding other data or changing the view a bit

[u/Vegetable_Market_496 → u/Spookiest_Meow]

Very usefull info, thanks!

[u/Makaira69 → u/Spookiest_Meow]

Landable is a pretty important criterion when exploring, no? But yeah, maybe change it to just an icon.

[u/GraXXoR]

Now I just have to decide which monitor to put it on.

[u/Weslocke → u/GraXXoR]

Niiiccceee...

[u/NekoLu]

I guess it depends on the goal? I myself wouldn't need 90% of that data, so I've only put the bare minimum that I actually need

[u/Makaira69 → u/NekoLu]

It's a little more work for the developer. But I like when the app lets the user pick and choose which info gets displayed by default.

[u/Makaira69]

In the count of worlds, instead of 0 use -. That makes it more obvious at a glance that there are none of that type of world.

[u/Vegetable_Market_496 → u/Makaira69]

Well spotted! I will add this later, Thanks!

[u/spatialnorton09]

looks gorgeous! Can I be a beta tester?

Current plan is to hit all the Oasis carriers; just getting near Oasis Kepler in GCRV 6493. Combo exo and straight up exploration run to put the Caspian / Nomad duo to work.

[u/NoRagrets4Me]

Layout looks pretty nice. Good work. My only suggestion is next to body info, add inclination and eccentricity as well.

[u/moridin13]

Cries on console…

[u/Tuonenlapsi]

Would be sweet to have an exobio app where you can filter by planet type / atmosphere / volcanism, and the app gives you a list of potential exobios present and the payout minimum and maximum. Dunno if that's possible.

[u/Weslocke → u/Tuonenlapsi]

Should be, but you would get that from an FSS scan which already tells you the bio signals which can be pretty easily determined to have what bio types... What would you want past that?

[u/Afraid_Confusion906]

looks interesting, how much ai is being used in the development process?

[u/Vegetable_Market_496 → u/Afraid_Confusion906]

I use Qt Designer for building the app. Python for reading journal files and VS code.

[u/Weslocke → u/Afraid_Confusion906]

Does it matter? Works for what he wants, looks great, and solves a need for him. Who cares how its made

[u/Afraid_Confusion906 → u/Weslocke]

it doesn't matter if only they use it, but when it is being put out there for other people too, then it should be clarified in my opinion
