I use the HCS voicepacks, initially because they helped with some of my controls but now it’s either laziness, “immersion” or as in this case because I can ask them questions (or more correctly to give me random facts) about the Galaxy and Quantum Theory. I can also get them to tell me about the different ships in the game, the Constellations and a description of every commodity in the game. I also listen to Galnet to keep up with the latest news.
I may listen to music too which is something I do driving around IRL so is something I would do if flying around the Galaxy.
I take the opportunity to scan every ship that I can to collect the extra scan data which quickly racks up and is great for any engineering I want to do and I keep an eye out for hollow triangles and hollow squares that suddenly change direction.
I’ll also use the time to use my second computer to check my materials on Inara, gawp lovingly at my Fleet on the EDSM fleet page and every so often I’ll do some of the photo editing or invoicing that I should
really be doing rather than wasting my life on an absurd computer game
