Release Exploration Progress

Greetings Commanders! I'm proud to share what I've been working on recently. It's a plugin for Elite Dangerous Market Connector that allows explorer players to see their progress from one star system to another. Enter where you started at and where you want to go in the Settings, and the plugin will keep track of your progress on the main EDMC window in the form of a percentage and on a progress bar.

This was made while making a journey from Beagle Point back to the bubble after completing the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. It took me quite a while to get back due to other commitments and increased boredom of jumping endlessly through the deep darkness of space. I wanted to see how far I was towards my destination in a simple way, not by plotting it on a map or watching a distance counter tick down, so I created this solution and shared it so other explorers can benefit from it.

You can find the main project page here and get the latest release here.

Future updates will come down the line to add new features and tweak a few things. For now, I hope you enjoy it!

Congrats .... not only on a return trip from BP and not even for building and sharing the tool. That's awesome.
Congrats .... also for actually adding to and developing the ED commuity.

I'm still going actually. I'm only 39.42% of the way back home. At least, that's what this new tool says. But thanks very much.
