well, its always what you make of it.. to work / build my route planner i've build it as cli tool first as well...Exactly my thoughtsI am honestly jealous of TradeDangerous, kfsone's project can get away with being a command line tool, but I need to spend 90% of my time on UI related code.
I haven't used it much because I started my project sometime during Beta 1, and route planning wasn't necessary then, and for the Beta 2 I finished my proof of concept map. Only one commenter asked about a command line version, therefore I haven't made binaries yet.

yah, well for me its what i started with, in beta2 if i remember correctly. Not to give the CLI to others, simply because i rather had the routes working first before caring about the interface =)
yah, i was thinking about that, but i figured that most people who travel far will use scooping, also there is very little reliable data about stations available, and to provide the most benefit of factoring in fuel you'd have to know the exact fuel consumption of the ships travelling. For the web interface i had already icons placed there for systems with stations, however it turned out that besides the beta2 systems barely any where in the data at that time, so i've put that feature on "maybe later".
System (note To see this you have to remove focus from the sun/whatever - Using the highly un-intuitive "R+L mouse drag")
Controlling faction (can potentially change?)
Government
State ?? No idea what this is
Allegiance
Population
Security
(note that economy is not listed here - But can bee seen on the Galaxy Map)
A list of Factions
Faction
Faction (the name)
Government
Allegiance
Influence (can potentially change?)
State ?? No idea what this is
Relationship ?? I'm guessing this is perhaps towards me as a pilot?? (thus not a global static that should be included)
Individual Stations
- Repeats the data for the faction in control of the station (I assume)
- Facilities (commodities/refuel/repair/re-arm/outfitting/shipyard)
As it looks now refuel/repair and at least partially re-arm are available everywhere - even if only say "refuel" is listed"
commodities/outfitting/shipyard are probably the most interesting ones to register if this is true.
-Trade data
Economies (note the plural)
Imports/Exports/Prohibited - So far I've never seen these to have been of terrible much use tbh... (unreliable)
-Stellar data
Various stuff - Doubt it's really useful for anything...
