List of initially explored systems

[clinton]

Is there a way to get the list of initially explored systems for new commanders? Perhaps from EDDB or elsewhere?

I'd like to import these into my "visited" lists so when I search for "unvisited systems" I don't include the ones that come explored by default.

eddb.io has a list of systems here: https://eddb.io/api
edsm.net has an api here: https://www.edsm.net/en/api-v1

Other sources may exist.

However, there's a couple of caveats:

• The fact that a system appears in the output, does not mean it has been tagged (scanned by a CMDR and the cartographic data sold).
• Not all CMDRs uses an out-of-game repository, in one way or another e.g. EDDiscovery.
• Your list may grow big very fast, however don't know if that's going to be a problem.

Personally, I wouldn't bother. If you stay away from popular routes, you'll soon find yourself in undiscovered territory. Look at the mesmerizing edsm traffic report, and stay away from the dots: https://www.edsm.net/en/map/traffic

I think it's just on a population threshold for the system - I can't remember what (maybe about 1 million?). You should be able to filter in EDDB with population.
