Problem → Solution → Impact
Problem: Coordinating colonisation efforts and managing fleet carriers in Elite Dangerous lacks a centralised, structured tool ~ especially during station build-outs.
Solution: A browser-based cockpit tool that tracks infrastructure requirements, build-out progress, system / station 'shopping lists' and real-time carrier inventory.
Impact: Enables commanders to efficiently manage space station construction, resource logistics and fleet carrier assets ~ streamlining both solo and group colonisation efforts.

“There’s something satisfying about flipping to a local HUD and seeing your shopping list for a station/system construction operation go green on reaching full delivery of a commodity. This is the kind of immersion that even the game itself didn’t build in.”
