EliteBGS
EliteBGS is a Windows desktop application, written in .NET. It parses Elite: Dangerous player journal files, and generates a text report on BGS activity done by the player. This text report can then be pasted into communication tools like Discord.

Requirements
EliteBGS runs on Windows 7 and above, and requires .NET 7.0 to run.
If you have problems with the installer, you might try running the following in the Windows command line:
winget install Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.7 Overview
EliteBGS reads through your player journal for BGS relevant activity, and sorts them into “categories”. These are based upon the star system, station and the faction for which the action was taken. So for example if you contributed bounty vouchers for Nova Paresa in Paresa, but also did some missions for Nova Paresa in Adachit, those actions will be split into two categories.
You can then select which of the two actions goes into the final log, by checking and unchecking various star systems.
What it detects:
- Buying of cargo from stations (BGS relevant since Update 10)
- Completed missions
- Failed missions
- Murders
- Murders can only really be detected if you fully scan your murder victim.
- Search and Rescue contributions
- Selling cartography data
- Selling of cargo to stations
- Selling of micro resources (Odyssey only)
- Vouchers, including bounty vouchers, combat bonds, and settlement vouchers (aka intel packages)
- Thargoid kills
- Combat zones
- Combat zone objectives are hard to detect. Things like independent captains, spec ops wings etc. are only detected if you actively scan the NPC in question.
The following transactions are recognised but not listed, because they do not affect BGS:
- Selling of organic data (Odyssey only)
There are some things it cannot detect:
- Megaship or installation scenarios
- On foot missions accepted by NPCs in stations (pre Update 13)
- Power play work (merits gained etc.)
