This app downloads your Cmdr's details and system, faction, scan and station data from the game Elite: Dangerous and, at your choice, either:
- sends station commodity market prices, other station data, system and faction information and body scan data to the Elite Dangerous Data Network ("EDDN") from where you and others can use it via online trading, prospecting and shopping tools such as eddb, EDSM, Elite Trade Net, Inara, Rogueys, Trade Dangerous, etc.
- sends your Cmdr's details, ship details, cargo, materials and flight log to Elite Dangerous Star Map (“EDSM”).
- sends your Cmdr's details, ship details, cargo, materials, missions, community goal progress, and flight log to Inara.
- saves station commodity market prices to files on your computer that you can load into trading tools such as Trade Dangerous or mEDI's Elite Tools.
- saves a record of your ship loadout to files on your computer that you can load into outfitting tools such as E:D Shipyard, Coriolis or Elite Trade Net.
You can run the app on the same PC or Mac on which you're running Elite: Dangerous or on another PC connected via a network share. PS4 and Xbox are not supported, sorry.
Usage
The user-interface is deliberately minimal - your choice of data is automatically downloaded, transmitted and/or saved when you start Elite: Dangerous, land at a station, jump to a system or scan a body. Start the app before entering the game to ensure that you don't miss any data - some data is only available at game start.
- Click on the ship name to view its loadout on E:D Shipyard or Coriolis in your web browser.
- Click on the system name to view its entry in Elite: Dangerous Database (“eddb”), Elite Dangerous Star Map (“EDSM”) or Inara in your web broswer.
- Click on the station name to view its entry in eddb, EDSM or Inara in your web broswer.
Installation
Windows:
- Requires Windows 7 or later.
- Download the .msi package of the latest release.
- Double-click on it to install.
- Run Elite Dangerous Market Connector from the Start Menu or Start Screen.
Setup
The first time that you run the app while playing the game you are redirected to Frontier's authentication website and prompted for your username and password. This is the same username and password combination that you use to log into the Elite: Dangerous launcher.
This step is required so that the Frontier servers can send the app your data and the data for the station that you are docked at. Refer to the Privacy Policy for how this app handles your data.
