v5.5.1.5 // Jump Info overlay, overlays hide on the maps, layout mode, system discovery on the HUD

Release Date: 2026-Oct-03

  • New Jump Info overlay, after SrvSurvey's jump panel. While your frame shift drive charges and through witch space, it shows the system you're jumping to:
    • its star class, and whether you can scoop it or it's a neutron star, white dwarf or black hole;
    • the jump's distance, and where it sits on your plotted route, drawn to scale with scoopable stars marked;
    • who discovered it and when, and when EDSM last updated it;
    • its traffic, bodies (Earth-like, water and ammonia worlds, terraformable, landable) and ports;
    • the region you're entering, when it's a new one.
      It asks EDSM as soon as the next system is targeted, so the facts are usually there before the jump. It follows your theme and text size, and it's on by default. Place it and choose how long it stays after you arrive in Overlay Studio (it hides on arrival by default).
  • Overlays now hide while the Galaxy Map, System Map or Orrery is open, and come straight back when you close it. It's on by default: switch Hide on maps off in Overlay Studio (All overlays) to keep them showing.
  • You can choose which overlays hide. Select one in Overlay Studio and switch its own Hide on maps off to keep just that overlay showing on the maps (each profile remembers its choices).
  • New Layout mode in Overlay Studio (All overlays) shows every enabled overlay at once, even ones that have nothing to show yet. Each is drawn with a dashed outline, its name and its size, so you can line them all up. It turns itself off when you leave Overlay Studio.
  • The Navigation HUD now shows who discovered the system you're in and when, and when EDSM last updated it, as SrvSurvey does. It shows in orange on the line under the system name, taking turns with the region every few seconds. Dates use the in-game year, such as 4 APR 3308. It comes from EDSM, one extra lookup per jump, and only for systems EDSM already knows.
  • Fixed "discovered by" missing for systems you've just discovered. Void Compass asked EDSM the moment you arrived, before your own upload of the jump reached it, and EDSM's servers then kept that empty answer for a day. Now it asks again a minute later, and once more at five minutes, getting past that stored answer.
  • Thanks to CMDR Nyx Evera for the ideas.
