ED Discovery is a Windows/Linux/Mac Application which assists you in piloting in the Elite Dangerous universe. Started by Commander Finwen, it has been greatly expanded in the last few years by a team of programmers who have added many features.
Major Features:
For Console players, 12.0 will add ability to download your history from the frontier servers. This is a non real time download, with large latency, but it will provide you with a history of your play, and will allow you to use lots of the EDD panels to plan you play. Certain features will not be very useful for a console player (Compass, voice recognition, voice output etc) but the majority of the features will be of use.
You don't need a powerful laptop to run this. When the program starts, if you want to minimise disk space used, choose the don't download star data option.
See our wiki with a full help guide. Talk to us and other users directly using Discord.

See release history for detailed information on EDD history.
ED Discovery look is fully customisable, you choose the layout, you choose the colours. We include some default themes to get you going, the one shown here is Elite Veranda.
The User Interface featuring multiple information tabs, multiple panels per tab:
Customisable Pop outs, both transparent (so you can place them over ED and have them in game) and non transparent, covering information that you need for exploration:
Trading:
And for engineering/exploring:
ED Discovery features a 3d star map of commanders visited systems, courtesy of EDSM. You can pan and zoom, click, see information on your trip and on each star:
ED Discovery integrates with EDSM, EDDN, EDDB, Inara, Spansh. It can send your journey to EDSM and retrieve information from EDSM from your account. It can send your information (scans etc) to EDDN for upload to the tools which use this. It will update Inara on your current state of play. It will inform EGO about your amazing discoveries.
Over 50+ panels of data is available, giving you data on your ships, their loadouts, your commodities and materials. It has panels to allow you to plan an expedition, plan a exploration star set, plan a route through the galaxy.
Route planners allow you to plan your trip. Your history can be filtered for view, individually on each tab/pop out, showing only the events you want to see or using a advanced filter to remove events on a much more individual basis (npc chatter for instance).
ED Discovery can be downloaded from here. We support both stable builds, and beta builds, each individually installable. We also support portable builds where you can place the data where you want it.
This is an free open source project, you can inspect the code at github. No code is hidden. All is available for you to build or inspect.. We welcome contributions to the code base and user reports of any issues, either at our discord or via Github issues.
