That's something I've considered since I still have the 4:3 monitor from my first Dell. One thing they seem to have built to last. Though I'm not sure whether it would stop my GPU fan sounding like an F-14 Tomcat from time to time as I switch to browser.

Welcome back, Odyssey was buggy in the beginning, but it has gotten a lot better through the years.
I like the Python Mk2, but i'll wait till august, so i can buy it in game.

That’s a good reference/guide, thanks - the Cannon Bioforge survey also has quite a lot of info, though in a less concise form :]

I also use Elite Observatory when exploring, and Edison if i have to navigate to a specific coordinate.
I currently use EDO Materials helper a lot, it's great for ship engineering, (finding materials and engineers) and even has a ship editor nowadays.

ICARUS Terminal is a nice little app that, while it does a great job of showing ship statuses (among other things), also adds a dollop of immersion - of course, not quite so effective on a single monitor setup but quite nifty with two.

The screenshot @Tyres O'Flaherty included is the BioInsights plug-in which is a superb tool, it doesn’t use your browser so don’t know if it is manageable or not before you upgrade.
The ’Conda’s damage model is absolutely the best thing about it.I got my second rebuy earlier after that initial ganking in Deciat a month or so back. £10M for my beloved Krait. It can be so annoying and demoralising even if you have the cash.
The first battle was with a Fer de lance and Anaconda which left my hull at 38% so I headed to a station with more bounty mission spam to go.
I was interdicted by another tag team and killed the Fer de Lance, but my instinct is for a little destruction derby during battle and I shoulder barged a Phython's rear wing while my hull was at 10%. Insta-death.
I do like how the Anaconda explodes in stages though. It really helps add scale to the ship. Not that smaller ships don't explode in stages. It's just that there's no chance of recovery due to their size.
It would be fantastic if they introduced similar levels of damage modelling for the other ships.
Well in addition to their drinking fuel and turning it into huge heat levels it looks like travelling that fast also increases Integrity damage which makes sense as you get that by super cruising, so you get a bigger bill to fix it after docking or your ship becomes more likely to pick up damage when hit.
Which was the default state when you started, I believe some of the organised AX groups insist on it being turned off to avoid friendly fire upsetting something.
You can mitigate the GPU fan sound by playing using headphones or ear buds.
I'm running the game and all the tools I need on a Laptop that, according to the minimum requirements, shouldn't even be able to run the game, let alone any tools alongside.
I use the 24" monitor from my last desktop computer as the solitary screen, as the laptop screen is a little too small for me to be able to comfortably read on it. And running both had proven difficult even before I picked up playing Elite.
I find E.D.D.I. irreplaceable, especially when integrated with VoiceAttack. Being informed about ship events as they happen greatly enhances the flying experience.
Reminds me of my old computer. Though that one sounded more like a Flying Fortress on level flight with its seven chassis fans in addition to the four internal fans (CPU,GPU and power supply)...
Works best if they have noise cancelling, as I've heard...
That name rings a bell, albeit a faint one... I usually run EDCopilot while playing. It doesn't tell me which specific species to expect, though.
Some information I gleaned from EDDiscovery about what I know about the planet so far:
I suspect that it is once again Setisis I'm hunting, although I'm a little lost about where to find it on this planet. The places I usually fount it on other planets are more than rare on this one, even though the possible locations my DSS scans showed are somewhat congruent with Frutexa...

0threeleven's inglorious death was worth it if it helps us feel immersed within the game. I salute him. o7 o>
I was really just thinking about the jump range though, even if you don't hit the boost button. Are they better than a normal drive for that purpose?
Technically, yes. I just don't like the idea of my computer tower blowing up besides me or having to wear a weird headphone/earphone setup so I can hear podacasts while I'm playing.
I swear this is a new thing. I used to be able to Windows key out of a game and it'd be fine in the background with no noise.
I'm kind've a newbie though and only got back into 'gaming' during furlough. I'm no expert.
I see two possible reasons for this sound. Either some dust has settled on some parts of the fan blades, causing an imbalance. Or some debris got stuck in there, causing that sound.
Headphones can get quite uncomfortable in warm conditions (sweaty ears).
Penny bravely visited a wispy nebula Myumbai AA-A then plunged to a new personal nadir around Y=-2950. And now we have headed to below the sagitarius and passed out of odin's hold into the centre's galaxy region. Heading up now not to visit saggy - maybe, hard to resist - but because spotted two human civilization systems not far from it. In lieu of looking up a carrier we'll go see what's up there. It's just a ways past (relative to Altair / pre-Colonia human civ and thargoid war "bubble"), - grandpa rupee's furthest travels. (to the celestial snowman visitor beacon. <3008 post>). But my trip has been a much more short trip from Colonia, and for focusing on the travel not the exploration. Plus bein 54 years younger than that old fuddy duddy who never could have imagined pairing his prize orca with a non-SiriusCorp FSD! What?!
So yep Penny's TIE Liner has shown up grandpa rupee's prize fav orca (the Permanent Vacation). Game over for real this time, Penny's most posthumous ancestor, there's a noon kid in town
And it's got a hull reinf instead of a passenger cabin gramps, providing better safety for passengers by crowding them out, I call it. But next time paint goes on sale I am going to fit them aboard my garaged beluga. My TIE Liner however is one downright spring chicken,and Myumbai AA-A agrees
Annnyway then from Stueway may be able to sell up and get a pack of karzuki locusts, and chart a new course according to Penny's unpredictable billionaire ambitions on the weekend. That's life at Penny's Temps

When an icy body like Penny sees such a nice lonely rocky body deep in space, might sparks fly?

Or the way opposite end with big cans that sit over/around the whole ear, not against it.
Or pair bluetooth aux out to your neuralink. Old fashioned? Run 1/4" gold stereo cables from the neuralink to the eardrums
Definitely an option. Not sure if it would be one for me, but I only tried this once when i bought an unexpensive mp3-player that came with earbuds (no ANC, that was just entering the high end headphone market back then). Sound was good, but on a hot day, they would slip out of my ear.
My ears get a heatstroke from just thinking about that.
That sound more like the way. Alas, I'm not that advanced... Maybe the generation that would be my great-grandkids (if I had kids) would see that as their normal way to listen to anything.
On another note, I just installed the RAM. I was shocked how quick programs would load now.
I also blasted the cooling system with some compressed air, but it wasn't as dirty as I anticipated.
