This plugin has been created to gather information about rings so that we can use the data to predict whether a ring will be visible or invisible.
When you scan a body with rings the plugin will display the body name and the rings indicating whether they are visible or not visible. The plugin will attempt to predict visibility but the user must click on the ring to change the visibility setting if the plugin has got the prediction wrong.
Once you have set the data to match your observations you can click on the submit button to send the data to the sheet we are using to collate the data.
The data will be stored in a google sheet. The following attributes will be recorded.
| Column | Notes |
|---|---|
| Cmdr | Your name |
| System | The System Name |
| Id64 | The unique identifier for the system |
| Body | The name of the body |
| Ring | The name of the ring eg Ring A |

| Mass | Mass in megatons |
