EDMC-Massacres is a plugin for EDMC which helps you keep track of total kills required when stacking pirate massacre missions.
If you don’t know about Massacre Stacking, here’s an explainer (youtube), (piped mirror).
Also… full disclosure — I am dev behind this plugin :)
https://github.com/BlueMystical/EDHM_UI - Mod your hud colours
https://github.com/rfvgyhn/min-ed-launcher - Nice launcher alternative (faster too)
min-ed-launcher is freakin awesome.
Even does chainloading of further 3rd party apps.
The cherry on top is that it’s running [for me] on Linux too and it beats the vanilla launcher in speed any day.
Yup I use it on linux also - the default launcher drives me nuts. Don’t get me wrong it’s a lot better than it used to be, but min-ed-launcher chews it up and spits it out lol.
I’ve just published my BGS visualizer, ED-Backviz
EDDiscovery from the site summary “In short it’s a 3rd party tool that can track your Elite Dangerous travels, combat, trading, rank etc.”
This seriously undersells the capability of this tool - check the wiki for more info.https://troynt.github.io/elite_dangerous_controls_reference/ import your keybindings file and view/search them through your browser.
It’s edsy > Coriolis for me.
EDMC and/or EDD are must-haves too; EDSM/Inara/EDDB need all the help they can get, that information doesn’t appear on its own without your help1
There’s also https://siriuscorp.cc/edsa/ – this is a mirror as the original page is no longer up. Can be used to visualize weapon layouts and as a result, the convergence of different ships.
I pinned this post as I think it’s a great resource for all. Also I wanted to test the mod tools :) If you disagree let me know.
