Usage

EDR will warn you when dangerous cmdrs make themselves known to the player journal: comms, interdiction, etc. You can also scan contacts with your ship's regular scanner to report them to EDR for the benefit of other EDR users and to get warnings / profiles for outlaws, or powerplay enemies.

Alternatively, you can trigger an EDR + Inara cmdr profile lookup by:

• Sending an o7 to the cmdr you are wondering about.
• Sending a !who cmdrname on chat (local, wing, etc.)

EDR will also show a situation report (aka sitrep) of your destination while jumping, if it had recent activity or a NOTAM. Information shown:

• NOTAM (e.g. Community Goal, PvP Hub, Known hot spot, etc.)
• List of recently sighted outlaws and cmdrs
• List of cmdrs who recently interdicted or killed other cmdrs

To learn more, you can also send !help via the in-game chat. Don't panic: type !clear to remove the help screen :)

Dynamic Karma

On top of a static karma assigned to known outlaws, EDR also uses the scans and in-game event sent by other EDR users to compute a dynamic karma.

• Karma is a measure of a commander's alignment versus the law: outlaw / ambiguous / lawful, e.g. Lawful+++
• A commander will be classified as outlaw if they are scanned with a significant bounty. A long streak of clean scans will classify a commander as lawful.
• The ≈ symbol in front of outlaw/ambiguous/lawful label indicates a dynamic karma.
• Consider this as hint and use your best judgement. Also, the scans don't dissociate PvP bounties vs. powerplay bounties, vs. PvE bounties. Don't get scanned with a PvE bounty ;)

CmdrDex

Build your own personalized Commander Index (CmdrDex) to customize your EDR experience and help other EDR users make informed guesses about other commanders' intent. Your CmdrDex is personal, EDR will only show aggregated stats for the alignment tags, e.g. 79% outlaw, 25% neutral, 5% enforcer (abbreviated as [!70% ?25%? +5%] in-game).

Alignment tags

Tag a commander with an alignment tag:

• outlaw tag if you see them going after a clean and non-enemy power commander.
• enforcer tag if you have seen them going after an outlaw.
• neutral tag if you disagree with EDR's classification and want to suppress its warning, or if a commander just seems to go about their own business.

• #outlaw or #! to tag a contact with an outlaw tag.
• #outlaw cmdrname or #! cmdrname to tag cmdrname with an outlaw tag.
