SrvSurvey-XP
Elite Dangerous · Commander’s companion
Discover your next world. Find a better mining loop. Keep your colony supplied. SrvSurvey-XP brings your journey into focus with tools and overlays that follow the game.
Information where you need it
Contextual panels put useful information over the game. Arrange the ones you need, tune their appearance, and keep flying.
Journal-driven state, from orbit to the surface.
Panel placement, opacity, scale, colors and shortcuts.
Saved work, local backups and optional Drive sync.
A companion for the way you play
From a single organic sample to an entire construction project, follow the details without losing the bigger picture.
Turn scans into a useful picture of the system, its organisms and your rewards.
Plan the next leg and remember the places worth coming back to.
Find opportunities, record your sessions and build reusable planetary maps.
Keep construction requirements and supplies in view as your project grows.
Bring structure to surveys, local visits and on-the-ground navigation.
Keep your ship, session and preferences together in a configurable desktop app.
Choose Blue, Green or Monochrome application themes in light and dark variants, then customize in-game overlay palettes independently. The visual editor supports dragging panels, anchors, per-panel scale and opacity, typography and visibility controls. Keyboard and controller shortcuts provide quick access during play.
The interface includes English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Português (Brasil), Русский and 简体中文. Searchable Guides organize instructions by subject; settings search and horizontal table scrolling help with larger workspaces.
Keep current and historical mining reports, notes, screenshots and manual refinery estimates. Export offline HTML reports for printing or PDF, import CSV history, and make ZIP mining backups. Bookmarks support categories, notes, screenshot attachments and JSON import/export; Surface Mining adds favorites and deposit details.
Optional Google Drive sync carries supported settings and saved work between machines. Machine-dependent overlay positions, monitor choices and capture calibration stay tied to their originating computer. Local backup and restore work without a Google account.
Inspect journal sources, individual events, parsed live state and application logs. Historical journals can rebuild state; exported diagnostic replays help reproduce issues. An importer can bring in an existing SrvSurvey profile while preserving the source.
Windows x64 and Linux x64 packages include their runtime. Linux overlays support X11 and XWayland; compositor behavior varies, and pure native Wayland does not provide full overlay functionality. Where supported, screen capture uses the desktop portal and PipeWire, and keyboard input can use the Global Shortcuts portal.

Work toward your Power’s goals or plan a profitable surface loop. Two searches, with the details you need to make the trip worthwhile.
Search for your chosen Power and objective. Planetary Mining brings landable bodies alongside traditional ring mining, with commodity, opposing Power, system-state, market-age, demand and landing-pad filters.
Connect promising landable bodies with nearby buyers. Compare prices, demand, body details and mine-to-sell distances, then narrow the search by commodity, radius and landing-pad size.
From prospect to plan
Map a mining location’s border and deposits, follow a guided
scan route, and save your progress. Trace a deposit with
.mine splat to calculate up to six rig-placement
suggestions, then track your deployed rigs with distance and
bearing cues.
Inside the application
Real screenshots from the project. Select an image for a closer look; layouts and sample values can differ by version and settings.
Connected when you choose
Public reference data enriches your tools. Account linking and publication have their own controls, so you can choose which optional services you use.
Link Google Drive in Settings → Data & migration. Sync supported settings, searches, routes, bookmarks and surveys between computers, or restore a saved backup.
Uses Drive’s private app-data folder, with permission limited to that folder. Credentials, raw journals and screenshot files are excluded. Google sign-in is optional.
Read how Google Drive data is usedOptional OAuth linking adds commander, ship, carrier, market and Community Goal information to your local dashboard. SrvSurvey does not receive your Frontier password.
Canonn, Spansh, EDSM, Inara and other catalogs provide public discovery, route, system and market information. Enabled Raven Colonial workflows synchronize project and supply information.
EDDN, Inara, direct EDSM, VoxStellar and supported discovery uploads have independent opt-in requirements. Commander identifiers and gameplay data may be sent when you enable the relevant service.
Local journals power the app. Daily activity reporting sends a random installation ID, app version and operating system to count active installations; it does not send your commander name, journal or Google account.
