EDEXO, screen by screen

What every screen shows and where to find it. The shots are of version 1.3 running on my own journals, so the commander is me and the systems are ones I flew through. Hover or tap a number to find its note.

Before you land

The main window, after a discovery scan and before any surface scan: body 8 c has six biological signals and nothing is known yet about which genera. Every species that can live here is listed with its chance.

The main window on body 8 c of Lyaisa AU-R d4-1964: header tiles, the body's facts and value, and ten candidate species with chance and payout.12345678910111213
  1. The system. Its name, main star and tags: region, Honk done, first discovery. The ☆ bookmarks it, MAP opens the system map.
  2. The header tiles. Unsold data value, D-scan progress, first discovery, jumps left on the route, and the next boxel worth flying to.
  3. Bodies with life. One tab per body with biological signals: signal count, likely value, CX where a codex entry is still open for you.
  4. The body at a glance. Price range with the ×5 first-footfall bonus, the expected value (≈), candidates against signals, DSS done or not, distance from arrival.
  5. Planetary body. Type, atmosphere, gravity, temperature, pressure and volcanism, which is what the prediction reads.
  6. Organic sell range. What first footfall would pay here, and whether the footfall is still open.
  7. Exo-signals. Fills with the genera after a surface probe (DSS); until then it says how many signals wait to be named.
  8. Candidate species. Each species that can grow here, most likely first, with its photograph. [F] means the colour follows this F-class star.
  9. Tags. [CODEX] a colour not yet in your codex, INFO GATHER where sampling it would teach the app something, [?] why the chance is what it is.
  10. Fit and gap. Fit: how closely this body resembles the bodies the species was found on. Gap: the distance between the three samples.
  11. Chance and payout. The calibrated chance the species is one of those here, and what it pays with first footfall.
  12. List options. Rows or cards, bacteria shown or hidden, the evidence behind each chance, and new codex entries first.
  13. Grouped and unlikely. Species of one genus fold together; anything under a 1 % chance waits behind Show unlikely, never removed.

Notable bodies

Earth-likes, water and ammonia worlds, terraformables and the rest worth a look sit in the header's Notable card. Hover one for its quick facts; click it and they stay until you close them or jump.

The main window on Blu Thua EM-D d12-25 with the quick facts of water world B 4 open over it: data sold, water world and terraformable, scan value 251,113 cr and map value about 1,088,157 cr, then its overview, climate and physical data.12345
  1. The Notable card. Every notable body in the system, mapped or not, with what makes it notable.
  2. Why it is notable. Sold or not, and the features that put it on the card.
  3. What it is. Class and terraform state at a glance.
  4. What it pays. Scan value now and the mapped value if you probe it.
  5. First discovery. With the first-discovery and first-mapped bonus, and what a DSS would add.

Why this chance

Click a candidate to unfold its card, then Why this chance: the evidence behind the number.

A Bacterium Aurasus card with its photograph, a 90 % chance bar, the reasons for it and three small charts of temperature, gravity and pressure.123456
  1. Photograph. Of the species and colour, with who took it. Most were taken by commanders for the project.
  2. Species, colour and value here. With the clonal distance and what the plant looks like.
  3. Chance here. The same number as in the row.
  4. The reasons. How often this genus is on bodies like this one, how many systems of the region have it, and how often rows at this chance came true on a year of other commanders’ finds.
  5. Where it has been found. Temperature, gravity and pressure of every confirmed body as bars, this body as a line. Red would mean outside every find.
  6. Other matching details. Crust materials and the host star against what is typical for the species.

After sampling

The same window on body 2 c of Tegnae DG-X d1-9 once I had sampled all nine species. The signals are named, and each shows how far its sampling got.

The main window on body 2 c of Tegnae DG-X d1-9 with nine genera named, each with its species and 3/3 or CS.123456
  1. Return to commander. Shown while you look at another system than the one you are in: one click back to your own.
  2. Commander. Where you are now, copied with one click.
  3. Sampled so far. The genera on this body with their progress, in the strip above the panels.
  4. Footfall. First footfall is yours here: every species pays five times its base.
  5. Each genus and its species. Named by the surface scan, its species by your samples.
  6. Progress. 3/3 analysed, CS where the composition scanner confirmed it without a sample on foot.

System map

MAP beside the system name, or the System map tab. Every body by class with its moons, drawn the way the system is built.

The system map of Tegnae DG-X d1-9: an F star, four gas giants in a row with their moons below, badges on the bodies with biology, and body 2 c's facts on the right.123456

  2. Trim it. Zoom, fit, and show only bodies with biology or only landable ones.
  3. Stars and bodies. Coloured by class, moons hang under their planet, a bar joins a pair that orbit each other.
  4. Biology badges. Signal count and ×5 where first footfall still pays; ++ marks bodies worth 17 million or more.
  5. The picked body. Its scan and map value, climate and physical facts.
  6. Legend. Every colour and mark on the map, folded away when you know it.

Neutron route

A route through neutron stars to one or more systems, any system as a stop, planned for your ship as it is: its range and fuel from the drive’s own figures, its supercharge, the tank, and the FSD’s wear. Keep in the tank sets a share of the tank no jump arrives under. Flown, it plans again when you leave it or when the fuel aboard is a jump off the plan, a star scooped between neutron jumps for one.

The Neutron route menu planning my ship from Lyaisa AU-R d4-1964 to Colonia keeping 25 % in the tank: 95 jumps, 83 of them supercharged, instead of 263, with 23 refuel stops; the route drawn across the galaxy map.123456789

  3. The next trip. Buy here, deliver there, at a size you can read from the cockpit.

HUD

A click-through overlay drawn over the game, so the ship still gets your mouse. Pick its sections in the launcher; this is the Elite-style frame.
