Resources for finding CMDR hotspots

[Zeke Drexel]

Hello CMDRs.

I was wondering what resources CMDRs (I assume PvPers) use in ED to locate areas of high likelihood of player activity.

Apart from visiting the obvious: CG systems, Deciat & Shinrarta.

I sometimes use INARA to view the systems that have had the most traffic - although it seems that they have removed the conflict zone feature that showed the ones with the highest # of CMDRs.

I'm also aware of the Commanders Map on EDSM - but this can be hard to probe at the lower levels to see the exact systems that have high activity.

What other resources are available??

Beside the CG, and systems you mentioned, some of the powerplay capitals have decent traffic, especially on Monday as there is a recurrent Powerplay brawl between Feds and Imperial (Nanoman).

Also, on Inara's homepage you can see a security report like this:

Finally, if you are on the lawful side, you can also check my plugin called ED Recon and The Citadel.

Systems players are likely to be, engineer systems, founders world, that kind of thing

I sometimes peep my friends list.

If half of them are in the same system or near by, I know where to go if I’m tryna smash.

Thanks for the tips CMDRs.

I'm just a few months into playing the game, so haven't built up a huge friend list yet … will keep an eye on that security report on INARA, and check out those plug-ins @LeKeno
