Set a destination once. EDNeuTron follows the journey through your Elite journal, chooses strategic neutron systems, anticipates fuel stops and recalculates from wherever you actually land.

Mission briefing

Navigation that advances with you.

EDNeuTron works beside the in-game galaxy map. It supplies the next operational target; Elite Dangerous still plots the ordinary bridge jumps between strategic systems.

  1. 01

    Choose a destination

    Enter and confirm a destination in EDMC Settings, then save the route.

  2. 02

    Copy the next vector

    The plugin displays the next strategic system and can keep it clipboard-ready.

  3. 03

    Fly normally

    Use the galaxy map for bridge jumps. EDNeuTron watches confirmed journal events.

  4. 04

    Recover automatically

    Resume later or go off course and the service replans from your real position and fuel state.

Navigation computer

Built for the journey you actually fly.

01

Hands-off progression

Journal events advance the journey while the next waypoint stays visible and ready to copy.

02

Strategic neutron routing

Neutron targets can be reached through ordinary bridge jumps rather than pretending every boost star is directly reachable.

03

Fuel with foresight

Scoopable stars enter the plan before the tank becomes a problem, with an explicit REFUEL instruction.

04

Commander-aware sessions

Destinations and journey state remain separate when you switch between EDMC commander profiles.

Before installation

What you need.

EDNeuTron is distributed as a plugin for the current PC release of Elite Dangerous Market Connector. A current EDMC installation and an internet connection to CMDRTools are required while routing.

Download verified ZIP

The release manifest is signed with an offline Ed25519 key. The plugin also verifies the archive size and SHA-256 digest before installing an automatic update.

Flight manual

Install in four steps.

These steps follow EDMarketConnector's documented plugin installation process.

  1. 01

    Download the ZIP

    Use the verified CMDRTools package above. Do not extract individual Python files.

  2. 02

    Open EDMC's plugins folder

    In EDMC, open File → Settings → Plugins and press Open. On Windows the folder is normally %LOCALAPPDATA%\EDMarketConnector\plugins.

  3. 03

    Move the contained folder

    Open the downloaded ZIP and move its EDNeuTron folder into the EDMC plugins folder. The result should be plugins\EDNeuTron\load.py.

  4. 04

    Restart and configure EDMC

    Restart EDMC, then open EDNeuTron settings, enable the main-window display, enter a destination and choose Save & recalculate route.

Cockpit operation

Controls that stay out of the way.

Destination system

Type and confirm the system you intend to reach. Destinations are stored separately for each local commander profile.

Save & recalculate route

Starts a fresh journey from the latest position, ship and fuel information EDMC has observed.

Automatic copy

Keeps the next strategic target ready for the galaxy map. A manual COPY button remains available.

Optional overlays

Can send route instructions to compatible EDMCModernOverlay, EDMCOverlay and edmcoverlay2 installations.

Data boundary

Your commander identity stays in EDMC.

EDNeuTron needs enough live navigation state to calculate the next instruction, but it does not require Frontier account authentication.

SENT

Navigation state

Current and destination systems, journal-provided coordinates and star class, ship jump capability, fuel state and detected boost state.

NOT SENT

Account identity

Your commander name, Frontier ID and Frontier CAPI token are not sent to the routing service.

SERVER

Opaque journey

The service uses an opaque journey identifier and returns one next instruction rather than exposing its route graph or galactic dataset.

LOCAL

Preferences

Visibility, automatic copy, overlay and update preferences remain in your EDMC installation.

Release security

Updates are staged, verified and reversible.

The plugin checks for a signed release manifest at most once every 24 hours, with a manual check available in Settings.

Accepted updates are downloaded into a sibling staging directory, checked for path safety, byte size, SHA-256 digest and Ed25519 signature, then swapped into place with rollback if installation fails. EDNeuTron never terminates or restarts EDMC itself.

Troubleshooting

Fast checks before calling the bureau.

EDNeuTron does not appear in EDMC

Confirm that load.py is directly inside plugins\EDNeuTron, not inside a second nested folder, then restart EDMC completely.

The destination or next target looks stale

Open EDNeuTron settings and choose Save & recalculate route. A full EDMC restart is not normally required.

The next neutron is not one direct jump away

That is expected. EDNeuTron selects strategic systems; use the in-game galaxy map to plot the ordinary bridge jumps to the displayed target.

An automatic update is ready

The new version has been installed into the plugin folder, but the currently loaded Python code remains active. Restart EDMC when convenient to load it.

Still grounded?

Bring the installed version, the exact message shown by EDNeuTron and what you were doing when it occurred.
