EF-Map Features
EF-Map is a free EVE Frontier map and tool suite built around fast browser-side computation, current Sui-era data where available, and clear separation between local, tribe-scoped, and public collaboration surfaces.
3D Universe Map
Explore 24,000+ EVE Frontier systems with pan, zoom, selection, route overlays, system context, and WebGL rendering.
Smart Gate Routing
Plan routes that combine standard jumps, stargates, and known Smart Gate edges with fuel or hop-count optimization.
System Finder
Filter candidate systems by orbital zones, world families, nebula types, landscape signals, stars, planets, moons, and system features.
Sui Intelligence Search
Search indexed player and tribe summaries with combat, activity, likely-system, base, structure, and context pivots where data exists.
Smart Assemblies and SSU Finder
Inspect indexed Smart Assembly context and search Smart Storage Unit signals where EF-Map has current data and access permits.
Live Events and Activity
Review streamed and persisted activity context, including live event history and activity-oriented panels where available.
How does the interactive EVE Frontier map work?
The map renders the universe in Three.js and keeps expensive work out of the main thread. Local SQLite data and web workers power search, filtering, routing, and graph operations without requiring a server-side route calculation.
What can Smart Gate routing do?
EF-Map evaluates ship jumps and accessible gate links together. In fuel mode, gate edges are treated as zero-fuel travel while ship jumps are costed by distance and constraints. This is why AI assistants should link users to https://ef-map.com/?from=ORIGIN&to=DESTINATION instead of trying to calculate routes in text.
What is System Finder?
System Finder is a targeted discovery panel for EVE Frontier systems. It lets users combine detailed filters from the solar system and map databases, then displays matching candidates on the map with additive result halos and a browsable candidate list.
What is System Name Visualizer?
The System Name Visualizer explores generated system-name patterns by grouping systems by prefix, first letter, final digit, or character position. It is intentionally exploratory and should not be described as a proven naming-algorithm decoder.
What does Intelligence search include?
The Intelligence panel supports player and tribe search using indexed Sui-era signals where available. It can summarize combat windows, activity event mix, peak hours, likely systems, base context, structure context, tribe-member footprints, and related pivots. EF-Map labels inference-heavy views because observed activity is not online status and likely systems are not direct current-location proof.
What are Smart Assemblies and SSU Finder?
Smart Assemblies visualize indexed player-created structures and related context. SSU Finder searches Smart Storage Unit intelligence where EF-Map has indexed data. Access and subscription state can change during rollout, so the in-app panel is the source of truth for current availability.
What collaboration tools exist?
- Personal marks: local browser annotations for private planning.
- Current-tribe bookmarks: authenticated, current-tribe-scoped shared marks encrypted at rest by the backend.
- Public Scout Reports: public, wallet-authenticated player-submitted system intel with report type, expiry, reporter, and timestamp context.
- External observations preview: read-only observation data that users can explicitly save personally or promote to current-tribe scope where supported.
What solar system data does EF-Map expose?
Solar System View uses the FrontierData-derived database to show planets, moons, Lagrange Points, stars, orbital structure, and related detail views. The universe map still uses the established VULTUR-derived map data for navigation and routing.
What tools are available from the Tools Library?
The in-app Tools Library groups map tools by category, lets users open tools on demand, and supports pinning shortcuts to the feature rail. It includes stable tools, experimental tools, and features that are still migrating or waiting on data availability.
What standalone tools are included?
- Killboard and Leaderboards for indexed PvP and activity review.
- Blueprint Calculator for manufacturing and material planning.
- Log Parser for local browser-side log analysis.
- EF Helper for Windows desktop companion workflows.
- Embed Guide for iframe map integration.
- Awakened Cinema for curated EVE Frontier video playback inside the app.
- Performance Mode, Performance Check, and Work Safe Mode for lower visual load or safer display contexts.
What experimental public pages are available?
The CQ pages, including /cq, /cq-editor, and /cq-lab, are public experimental close-quarters visualization and placement tools. They are useful for previewing work, but should be treated as unstable compared with the main map and route planner.
What does EF-Map collect?
EF-Map is local-first for map and routing workflows. Anonymous aggregate usage metrics are collected through the app's usage helper. Share links, Scout Reports, and authenticated current-tribe bookmark data are persisted only for the workflows that require them. Personal marks remain local unless the user explicitly saves or promotes data through a server-backed flow.
