Real-time exploration companion for Elite Dangerous
GalNetOps reads your journal files and gives you live system visualization, accurate scan values, route history, exobiology tracking, exploration statistics, and route planning - all in a modern, responsive interface.
- Real-time updates - FSS, DSS, and Genetic Sampling scans appear instantly as you explore.
- Accurate value calculations - Base values, first discovery bonuses, terraformable bonuses, efficiency bonuses - all computed correctly (hopefully).
- Clean system visualization - Hierarchical tree view with body types, signals, and scan status at a glance.
- Route history with context - See where you've been, what you found, and what it was worth.
- Exobiology tracking - Species estimator based on system/body properties to help you decide if it's worth your time. Species progress, sample distances, and earnings per genus.
- Route planner - Input a list of system names and POIs to add in your expeditions.
- This program does not upload or read any data from your Elite Dangerous account, EDSM profile, Inara profile etc. All data is read from your journal files local to your file system.
- As EDMC can do all the backend updating it is highly recommended you run this program alongside it.
Live system map with hierarchical body layout, scan status indicators, and a details panel showing orbital parameters, ring systems, biological species, and estimated values.
- NEW FEATURE Ability to select which bodies and characteristics to highlight for high-value exploration (see Exploration Settings).

Paginated jump log with filtering by date, session, or system name. Export to CSV/JSON or copy system names to clipboard.
New dedicated page for route planning and POI tracking. Input a list of systems to follow as you explore. Create custom a custom POI list of your discoveries!
Exploration metrics and trends: systems visited, first discoveries, scan values over time, body type distribution, and exobiology progress.
Track your discoveries across biology, geology, anomalies, Thargoid, and Guardian categories.
Journal path detection, theme selection, exploration settings, EDSM integration, database management, and journal backfill.

- This project follows Semantic Version 2.0.0: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
- Current version is 1.0.0-beta.2.
- Download the latest installer from Releases
- Run the installer
- Launch GalNetOps and select your journal folder. See the settings tab for further customization.
- Clone this repository.
npm install
npm run dev # Development mode
npm run build # Production build
npm run package # Create Windows installer- On first launch, GalNetOps will prompt you to select your journal folder and optionally import your exploration history.
- Local journal files - Primary data source, parsed in real-time
- EDSM - Optional body count lookups and system search (respects spoiler-free setting)
- Your exploration data stays local in a SQLite database. Nothing is uploaded.
Contributions welcome. Please open a issue to submit a request. Bug reports always welcome.
- Frontier for developing Elite Dangerous.
- EDSM for exisiting galactic data.
- EDAstro for the Galactic Explorer Catalog (GEC) API and galactic body data.
