The game is vastly improved experience when using third-party tools and websites. Below is a selection of the important ones for every Commander:

   ED MarketConnector — Every time you relog, ED:MC will update your cargo on Inara for you. There are others, but we recommend ED:MC

• ED DataBase (eddb.io) — essential database to look up systems, planets and stations based on a wide variety of search criteria.
• Road to Riches — plots a route through systems with high value scan/mapping values including ELW, HMCW WW Leave destination blank in order to create a circular tour starting at your source system and returning there at the end.
• Galaxy Plotter — plot a route between systems prioritizing neutron star supercharging to reduce your journey time, and map it.
• ED: Astrometrics Interactive Map plus All Astro Charts.
• Deep Space Support Array (DSSA) — a network of support Carriers all over the galaxy to help explorers in their deep space travels. See Support Carrier Locations.
