EDASS - Elite Dangerous Automatic System Survey - V0.3

Generate a simple, human-readable CSV containing data on potentially colonisable or otherwise interesting and unique systems in Elite Dangerous.

Features:

• Automatic look-up of EDSM data in a user-defined radius.
• Automatic, mostly fool-proof determination of system colonisation status.
• Counts the numbers of bodies and rings in the system, and the distance from you.
• Determination of "interesting" body types, and counts the total.
• Counts stars, notes stars of interest to you.
• Procedural notes section, informing you of unique or important system info.

Caveats:

• EDSM data can be wrong, or out of date.
• This program is slow, it hammers the EDSM api, it is possible to be rate limited.
• Again, it is limited to EDSM data, if none is present, a search isn't valid.
• Some systems are colonisation locked, but uninhabited and not permit locked, EDASS is not capable of detecting this colonisation lock, it will return as colonisable.

Requirements:

• You will need Python v3.10+, and ideally pip.
• The only required module is httpx, it will NOT work without this module.

Usage:

To run EDASS, simply run EDASS.py in the root folder. The program will ask you for a central system to search around, a search radius, and a minimum planet count to cull. The CSV file is generated in /export.
