# BioScan plugin for [EDMC]

## WORK IN PROGRESS
This plugin is heavily a WIP. Expect bugs. Please report any errors that might be caught in the debug log.
## BETA
This plugin is a WIP. Feel free to try it, I welcome input about incorrect species requirements and suggestions.

BioScan is a utility for Explorers and Exobiologists that attempts to determine the possible value range of biological
signals on bodies. It uses data such as the atmosphere, gravity, volcanism, surface temperature, body type, and local
star type to make the best guess as to what types of fauna will be present.

Once done, it will summarize the possible value ranges for all qualifying genus and species.

Once fully analysed, the total system value (and possible first footfall value) will be shown at the bottom of the pane.

### Navigation

The top of the pane will track all relevant bodies in the system, including a shorthand for the body type and the number
of signals detected there. This can help you quickly determine a DSS target.

BioScan will track your movements and show just the relevant species data if you are currently located at a body of
interest, to help reduce clutter and scrolling.

It can also track scans with the composition scanner and will lock in the final species of the genus without requiring
you to scan biologicals one at a time. In this way you can lock in a species and value while competing the analysis of
another lifeform.

## Roadmap

* Add calculations for additional pre-Odyssey biologicals as they have more particular requirements
* Track when near a planet and focus the data view for that planet
* Refinements to species requirements
* ~~Track when near a planet and focus the data view for that planet~~
* Add settings for visibility and display options
* Add info about sample distance requirements
* Investigate plausibility of getting species from codex scans (Ship / SRV)
