Jump Calc/Exploration Data Spreadsheet

Welcome explorers, I've created a spreadsheet to do three things one calculate ideal jump distance when close to the core, track your scans and give an estimated value of each showing a minimum sale price for each type of body and a percentage of how far your off from elite status. Finally a printable sheet to record your scans on during your sessions.

Record Sheet

This is a work in progress and is no means accurate as your scan values vary so I've used minimum values which should mean when you sell your data you'll get more than the sheet shows, it does not take first discovered items into account.

It uses any spreadsheet program that reads excel files and is optimised for mobile phones/tablets (excel a free app) for some reason I can't add the file to this site so I can't add it here to download but if anyone would like a copy inbox me your email and I'll send you it.

Thanks mate, this should be helpful for everyone trying to make it to Exploration Elite, including myself.
One question though - which source did you use for the payouts per galactic body?

The very old thread from CMDR Nutter (found here) has the numbers you are using, although the visual guide by CMDR Dubardo shows way lower numbers.
As an example - Neutron Stars are shown as 36,000 from Nutter vs. 19,000 credits from Dubardo.
Which one would be the correct number?

Google came up with a page on here plus reddit both had same price range. It also corresponds to videos I've watched. If anyone has better prices I can change the data easy. I used the lowest values in the calc so you should get more than what the sheet says.

The only thing I'm not sure about is how much you get when you just ping a system common value I found is 500c per body but that don't seem right so if anyone has a better value let me know please.

If anyone wants to adjust the sheet themselves the password to unlock the sheets is "elite"

Looking at CMDR Nutters post the values I used are the same, but from another more recent source. If anyone can supply me or point me in the direction of more accurate figures I'll update the sheet.

First, thank you for putting the effort into this tool. Second, can you provide the password for those of us who would like to make little tweaks (yes, I know I can crack the password with a VBA script, I just though I would ask first)?

From what I can tell, they've fixed the issue, was just at sag A after the update and had no problem plotting routes in or around the core

Yeah I noticed that too but that was the first page I wrote, but It is still quicker using magic jump distance imho. But yes it does appear to be fixed.

OK so now I've found these values for discovered bodies can anyone confirm which I should use
These:





Star Type Approx Value
Black Hole 20,000
Neutron Star 19,000
White Dwarf 10,000
A 1,000-1,500
B 1,000-1,500
C 1,000-1,500
F 1,000-1,500
G 1,000-1,500
K 1,000-1,500
L 1,000-1,500
M 1,000-1,500
O 1,000-1,500
S 1,000-1,500
T 1,000-1,500
TT 1,000-1,500
Y 1,000-1,500
W 1,000-1,500

Planet Type Approx Value
Earth-like 28,000-30,000
Terraform Candidate 22,000-30,000
Water Worlds 10,000-14,000
Metal Rich 4,000-6,000
High Metal Content 2,000-4,000
Icy 300-800
Rocky 300-400
Other Approx Value
Asteroid Belts Zero
Rings Zero

Or the values I've used in the sheet, I'm currently out in the black so can't test it.

Scanned a Neutron Star close to Jaques and turned in the data - got about 40,000 credits for a detailed surface scan.
Thus I'd say the initial values in your sheet are correct.

+1 rep for the effort, thanks for this!

OK thanks for that, I'll keep as is for now then. +1 for the feedback
