v1.8.0
Elite Trader v1.8.0 — vital voice callouts (fuel scooping & more)
Voice callouts now warn you about the things that actually end deep-space trips.
Toggle them with 🔊 VOICE in the flight panel; every callout also flashes a
banner or toast so it works with sound off.
⛽ Fuel-scoop planning along your route
The app reads your plotted route (NavRoute) and each star's class, learns your
real fuel-per-jump from your last jumps, and watches for the classic strander —
a run of non-scoopable stars (brown/white dwarfs, neutron stars…) your tank
can't clear:
- "Scoop now" (critical) — you're sitting on a fuel star but the next one
is farther than your fuel can reach. Top off before you leave. - "Top off, N dry jumps ahead" — leaving a scoopable star into a stretch
with no fuel stars. - "Strand risk / no fuel star ahead" — already low with no reachable
scoopable star; time to replot. - Low-fuel warning at 25% (route or not). Quiet while docked.
Scoopable = the KGB-FOAM classes (O B A F G K M) plus proto-stars.
🚨 Other vital callouts
- Interdiction — "Interdiction detected. Evade or submit." the instant
you're pulled from supercruise. - Hull damage — spoken at 75% / 50% / 25% as your hull drops.
- First discovery — "…is undiscovered." when you jump into a system no
commander has scanned before.
Run from source (run.bat / run.sh) or grab the attached EliteTrader.exe
(no Python needed). On the packaged app, updates install in place — click
Update & restart when it appears.
