VesselTrails
Galactic Trade Route Visualizer
VesselTrails transforms your Star Map into a living dashboard of your galactic empire. It draws connection lines between star systems that are currently exchanging resources via logistics vessels.
Key Features

Customization
- Toggleable Trails: Enable or disable the visualization via config.
- Color Modes: Choose between Material (colors based on what's inside the vessels) or Heatmap (colors based on traffic volume).
