I got tired of juggling two maps every new playthrough, so I built one that has the universe AND the derelict ships

Post by Veantur3 »

Hi all,

Every new game I ended up with the in game map on one side and a wiki or some old community map on the other, just to remember where the free ships are and how the gates line up. It got old, so I built one map that keeps it all in one place. It is a web page, nothing to install, runs in the browser.

What it does. It is the full universe, every sector across all the DLCs, coloured by faction, with the gate and superhighway links drawn in. You can pan and zoom from the whole galaxy down to a single sector, search any system by name, and click a sector for its faction, connections and stations.

Free and derelict ships have their own toggle. Each one shows its sector, how to find it once you are there, how to claim it, and a screenshot. There is a checklist with a found counter so you can tick them off on a fresh save, and it remembers between visits.

The Timelines reward ships are on there as well, all nine of them, in their own list right under the derelicts, with the sector, the spot, which Timelines mission unlocks each one, and screenshots.

There is a gate to gate route planner. Pick a start and a destination, or plan from any sector you have open, and it draws the path and warns you when it runs through Xenon space.

For station building there is a Kha'ak safe view that highlights every sector more than three jumps from a hive, and a separate terraforming view that marks the Cradle of Humanity planets you can terraform.

You can also filter sectors by station type with the station finder, and every sector shows its minable resources as a five star rating for ore, silicon, ice, gases and scrap.

The map is built from the game's own data and the ship positions are fixed, so it lines up with what you actually see in game.

It is free and there is nothing to sign up for. If you spot something wrong or there is a feature you want, tell me in here. That is how it got most of what it has so far.

Thanks, and fly safe.

Avarice system isn't Kha'ak-Safe. There is a Kha'ak hive in Black Hole Sun, so there is a chance to spawn Kha'ak Installation in Avarice. Anywhere within the 3 system range of a hive is not safe.
There is also a hive in Sanctuary of Darkness, so it is not Kha'ak-Safe either.

Looks interesting, but definitely broken on mobile. Can't zoom, UI elements stuck behind other elements of the page, menu is clear, and a few other things. Has promise though, will watch for updates
