Systematic Boxel Survey
Greetings explorers. I saw quite a few exploration assisting tools here and decided to share my own. I am a Sanguineous Rim Highway project cartographer and my main task is systematic survey around and in front of the highway to identify colonization candidates and resupply hub systems. I initially used EDJP for this task, but it didn't completely satisfy my needs, so I made my own app that is tailor made for the specific cartographic flow, but it can also be used by independent explorers.
In short it does the following: it identifies the full boxel hierarchy of any selected system or series of systems and provides the user with the list of boxels they can select for further systematic exploration, and it checks the presence of each system in the list against both EDSM and Spansh, and automatically ignores those systems that have complete information in those catalogues to avoid unnecessary work. You may like it if you want to target specific mass class systems for higher chances of Tectonicas, for example.
I don't want to type a giant wall of text describing the full methodology and how the app works here, you can read the guide that contains both here if you are interested. It also contains all the download links and installation manuals. I think it should be more or less exhaustive, but if anyone has any questions, I will be happy to answer. Enjoy!

On my exploration travel, I experienced a beautiful postcard from this planet
I'm a newbie explorer, started a few weeks ago playing Elite Dangerous and I'm loving every minute!
HIP 996 AB 2 F was my destination for ExoBio yesterday... Then I saw this sunset... and the little dots being the planets on system... it was such a great experience
I landed on few planets, but this one so far has the most amazing view for me!
