I play almost exclusively in Open, and miss a bit of risk. Of course, I'm still in the PERESTROIKA Sector somewhere, and there are nobody else around.

And here I thought it was just my personality escaping my scalp!
... and with some alacrity, following the response to my "spoiler" post, came this missive... Maybe I should invite some others to partake of the truly anarchy discord?
A special message: Oh Ender, my most darling of Bells, you are a truly beautiful amoeba, and I have missed you so much since my last post
I cried when I read this, so poignant, eloquent and ascerbic, prose of the highest calibre, worthy of the great Bard himself!

Gaming is about wasting time anyway, if in a way that is constructive for well-being purposes. So yeah, engineering is a great cluster of game loops. But it has the problem that once you are done upgrading you are done. You have won the game. Remove engineered features upon ship destruction, and the game can continue for perpetuity.
that would just eliminate players from participating in the farce that is engineers. the "risk" wouldn't be worth the cost and reward.
which is why they did it this way in the first place.
So instead, they just start making double engineered modules. Or add new engineers to change other modules or do other things to existing ones.
In other news, I'm pondering getting a second monitor to compliment my ultrawide, so I can have Inara/Discord/whatnot open at the same time as Elite. Helpful (I think) for the long supercruises, can have the match on while hopping out to Colonia, etc.
I assume this means no playing the game in fullscreen mode, and instead have to do it windowed in the main monitor?

I just use my tablet or laptop...
A spot of uncensored SotG would not be an overly horrible thing. No wait. We need hand holding or it'll all go off the rails!
There are a lot of players who don't want to play the game. They want to wander around shouting STAR! STAR! PLANET! BASE! PLANET! STAR! And then complain it's boring and there is nothing to do and it's all a grind for credits. And then demand a new ship.
Just like there are ppl on the JWE2 forum complaining bitterly that the game expects them to play it to unlock the sandbox - and they just want to stare at dinosaurs, and then complain there should be more as the game is boring and limited.
Chumps the lot of 'em.

That's what discord is for...
Yeah, I have my work computer in the office as well (Mac Pro) but it involves me scooting around the floor between work areas, and it turns into a pain in the ars... er, backside. I could just lump the laptop up here, but don't have a shedload of desk space for it.
The problem though is that fdev wants those people to play the game that way... and in doing so can't make the game parts of the game actually be what they should be because they have to make it optional and not impact the game in such a way that the players who just want to run around taking screenshots can't keep doing things the way they want and have been doing them.
stick one of your spare raspberry pi's on it.
No need to faff about with the big computer then
Wow thanks for that, I really wanted one but not that skilled. Cheers
In your graphics setting you can set the display mode to "borderless window", which is how mine is set and I learnt it here on the forums. This means you can mouse to the other screen (unless on foot then you need to ALT-TAB, or Windows Key or some othe way...
Just be aware that if you click on another window, you lose control of the game...can't count the number of times I've clicked on SotG while in hyperspace and then barely remembering to click back on the game before hitting the destination star...
Well darn it. Deep in my man shed I've done it.
The next model I make is going to be a cube.

Needs more pink...
What an absolute beauty and a real journey to watch come together.
This is the true Elite Dangerous odyssey.
