EF‑Map Features
EF‑Map is a focused, performance‑first EVE Frontier map and Smart Gate route planning tool. It emphasizes clarity, speed, and data transparency while keeping friction low—no account or tracking scripts required.
How does the EF-Map interactive star map work?
Pan, zoom, and select systems fluidly. Spatial indices and a compact rendering path keep interaction latency low even during dense navigation sequences.
How does Smart Gate route optimization work?
The pathfinder evaluates combined gate and standard jump possibilities, assigning fuel‑aware costs. You can pivot between fuel and jump count optimization for different tactical goals.
How does EF-Map handle data locally?
Core stellar data loads once into an in‑browser SQLite database powered by sql.js. Most queries (system lookup, region filtering, adjacency inspection) resolve instantly with no round trips.
What are Tribe Marks and how do they work?
Shared text markers allow light coordination—staging points, warnings, logistics notes. They are stored in Cloudflare KV with guardrails: size limits, sanitization, and spam mitigation. Personal marks stay local to your device.
What system and region information does EF-Map show?
Context panels surface structured attributes enabling faster situational assessment. Future expansion targets richer comparative overlays and activity deltas.
What data does EF-Map collect?
Only aggregate, anonymous usage events (e.g., feature tap counts, session timing buckets) are collected. No personal identifiers, no third‑party analytics beacons.
How does EF-Map stay performant?
Expensive calculations (routing heuristics, neighbor graph expansion) execute inside Web Workers with throttled progress messaging, preserving main‑thread responsiveness.
How is EF-Map hosted and deployed?
Hosted on Cloudflare Pages + Worker for minimal latency and edge‑cached static assets. A single unified Worker also handles share links, usage event aggregation, and future content endpoints.
What tools are included with EF-Map?
EF‑Map bundles several specialized tools accessible directly from the map interface:
- Killboard & Leaderboards – Real-time PvP statistics, kill tracking, and player rankings.
- Blueprint Calculator – Industry planning with material requirements and cost estimation.
- Log Parser – Paste combat logs for instant kill/loss analysis and route suggestions.
- EF Helper – Desktop companion for in-game overlay, visited system sync, and follow mode.
What features are planned for EF-Map?
- Dynamic overlay filters (threat, logistics, density)
- Smart Gate graph analytics & reliability signals
- Optional exportable state snapshots
- Accessibility refinements and keyboard navigation depth
- Progressive performance trimming of bundle surface
