+1 for this. I found it after just staring off on my first exploration trip. Invaluable tool. Amazed at what you guys can do for the community
 
Very happy to see an EDDiscovery thread back on the exploration forum. Exploring the galaxy would not be the same without it :)
 
Prob do it Friday.. all the new data is in it, just waiting to see if any more comes in for inclusion ..

Next year i have a lot of stuff in plan.. one of which is a much improved 3dmap..
 
New thread, hooray much appreciated, I was alarmed slightly that when the old one was moved that it would become a seldom visited dust covered relic of a once great and thriving dicsussion, look forward to the new release for 3.3 update
 
That's good, to know this is the new forum. Hopefully the the 3D map improvement will make it faster. I for some reason have a bad lag using it with all the stars and paths shown for some reason, and I have a fast computer too...
 
The 3dmap is using out of date GL technology.. the new one will be using shaders. But thats for next year.

Will that improve performance in the 3D map? I rarely use it now because its so sluggish to use on my pc, I use the map on the EDSM website instead.
 
I hope so - it will use the graphics processor to do most of the work, unlike the current version.

Remember you can reduce the computational load on the current version by disabling stuff..
 
Yeah, the only real bugaboo for me in EDD is the 3D map. I don't really use it because I find it fairly cumbersome to use as is, so am very much looking forward to a revamp.

Just some ideas of my own for it, which may be entirely possible as it is right now, and I am just missing how to do it, but I would love to see some easier to use, and more robust filters that would allow me to say display only systems I have visited, display only specific star types, only systems at specific ranges above or below the plain, things such as that.
 
Unfort. we can't do star types - we don't have that data. EDSM may have some, but it will not be full and reliable as star data type was not logged until recently.
 
What about locations on planet? FSS does show number of locations on planet when you scan it but I didn't saw any data in log. Could you poke FDev about it?

And maybe create another EDD appreciation thread? All these "+1, this is great tool" posts will make this thread convoluted and messy.
