An unobtrusive, lightweight exploration and exobiology plugin for EDMC. At every stage of exploring a system ExplorerLite tells you whether it's worth your time and what's worth doing next, in a clean, compact panel that gets out of the way when there's nothing to report. It's designed to be lightweight and self-contained with overlay support for single-screen/VR/heads-up operation.

Key Features

  • Clean, simple, theme-aware UI shows the information you need and nothing you don't.
  • Unobtrusive when you aren't exploring (?/? toggle minimizes the display and hides overlays).
  • In-game overlays provide a summary and a sample-tracking radar.
  • Honk heuristic flags whether a system is worth a full FSS pass, based on star type and body/signal counts.
  • Flags bodies whose cartography (scan/mapping) value or exobiology potential meets your configured credit thresholds, including first-discovery/first-mapped bonuses.
  • FSS prediction ranks likely biology from a body's atmosphere, temperature, gravity, and volcanism as soon as it's scanned
  • Live per-species sampling progress once you're on the ground, including the first-logged bonus.
  • Waypoints track other species tagged with the composition scanner.
  • History browser with running sold/pending totals for both cartography and exobiology.
  • Multi-commander support.
