I'm still finding my way to unlocking engineers. I am currently doing Scavenge or power reactivation missions to seek out Genetic repair meds.
These babies ae hard to find!

Been away for a while - LOML and I went in search of spring sunshine in the Mediterranean for 10 days. Didn't find much but enjoyed a lot of great food 
Good to see you've all been busy in my absence. All the hardware discussion has been a trip down memory lane - I've used laptops exclusively for about 10 years but have started to feel an urge for a desktop system recently. But it would start with a plain black box; hate those disco light machines.
Hoping to get some quality time in game this weekend if She doesn't have too many 'enjoyable' activities planned. I'm sure lawn-mowing will be on the agenda but as an old man with dodgy knees I'll be lobbying to be excused anything more rigorous.

I'm not keen on flashing lights either, but I do like a tasteful static colour. I ought to make it a little more blue/teal to match my HUDBeen away for a while - LOML and I went in search of spring sunshine in the Mediterranean for 10 days. Didn't find much but enjoyed a lot of great food

Yeah. I don't bother with building my own any more, it's cheaper and easier to get a pre-built and go from there (assuming the pre-built has good components). I still do stuff like add RAM or SSDs, adjust the BIOS settings to my liking, and stuff like that.
I don't generally use the built-in sound hardware, and definitely not the integrated graphics if they exist. (I have a somewhat more complex situation for sound because I do a lot of livestream music and I use an external sound device with extra channels and whatnot, so I can mix in my microphone and/or guitar).
No. This was (is) a Skytech build. Great components, fairly OK set-up.
===================
Meanwhile --
Spikey!!
I've found that quite difficult with my recent iterations of prebuilts.
BIOS/UEFI usually consists of three pages* with no way to open any additional settings.
And the preinstalled OS usually lacks any way to properly set stuff up. I even found that some of these take influence on settings of software I install...
I lack the funds to buy a new OS every once in a while to be able to set up stuff the way I want.
*: One page with stats and maybe the option to adjust the time or such, one for general settings (but hell no, don't allow too much fiddling here) and one page for save / exit the BIOS.
Good luck finding a landing spot there.
The Logitech Z906 are over 10 years old.Hi
Well, I sure hope Tyres's new joystick arrives today!
I've just been looking in on the Logitech site UK just to see what peripherals they make nowadays, I'd love a set of their Z906 5.1 surround sound speakers, but at £400......no such luck at the moment!
What am I doing....I've just landed my Cutter at Herbert Dock (Wolf 906) to sell off 300t of Platinum, then moving on to somewhere else so I can sell off other stuff I've mined.
I'm also keeping my eye out for any new information from Frontier concerning this colonisation feature, as it seems to me to be all a bit quiet and in limbo presently.
On my way in to the bubble I landed at a players ongoing system colonisation build and cleared out some remaining commodities I had, and sold them off at the colonisation carrier....I wonder if that player notices!
Dammit!....I've been to three different best buy / sell stations indicated on Inara now as having the best prices for platinum, all three of them indicated prices in excess of 280,000, but at each station they were all around the 270,700 mark when I landed there.....grrrrr.
As I've mentioned somewhere here, I've got two Titan Drive components stored on my carrier, so I might also visit the engineers for a couple of suitable drives to fit a Cobra Mk5 and the Corsair, ready to fit for when I eventually buy them.
Edited... for grammar....and a typo.

You can find those, or similar second hand for much less.
I have a second hand Creative inspire 5300 which are almost 25 years old.
I bought them cheap some 10 years ago, they still serve me fine.
Quite enjoying the CG although elite pirates seem a little thin on the ground in the HRES. Still, it's credits that seem to be the order of the day so the Vette is having an easy day.
Not sure at what point I'll get the modules/paint jobs but I s'pose I'll find out in due course.

Chrome on the vette? I'll have a look!
Yeah that's an example of where software on the PC does indeed downmix things because it expects to need to do so. DVD software is designed around the assumptions that go with watching DVDs.
See above. It seems like none of those games are provoking the system into downmixing and recoding. So either you need to do some weird trick to force it (see below) or you need a Windows application which will provide a six channel sink for the games to dump audio into and the utility application will then send that out in DTS for you.
That is super-encouraging and suggests a neat hack: if you disable support for WMA, it will force the "Realtek Digital Output" to be a sink only for DTS or Dolby, and that will possibly force the audio stack to treat the streams from the game accordingly. That might be all you need to do
Which app "does not offer an alternative to stereo" - I can't quite parse that sentence, can't work out which app you think is the blocker...
Thanks..
I already tried that disabling WMA but it didn't help.
The "app" I was meaning is not an app I suppose it the advanced tab of the digital output properties thingie - that was the screengrab I posted, it just lists a selection of 2 channel formats, doesn't list DTS or Dolby-Digital. (I have seen on the youtube where this is shown.)
I'm not going to pursue any further for a bit as I have some RL stuff in the way. I will try reading up on the APO things. Maybe I'll give a shout in the PC sub-forum when I am going to attack this more, save cluttering up this thread.
I jumped in and went off to spy on Markov's construction activities and the latest site is indeed close to the local star. You may need to wear shades at the bar if it's an outpost with windows. I actually forget if they do have them but I assume so.
I didn't realise I could land at the construction site either but I suppose that makes sense in hindsight, given that you need to bring in commodities.
Then I headed in the complete opposite direction and have just docked at Kidd Station for the CG. I'll probably just mix in some surface mining down there instead.

Sorry nobody was home. I trust you left the big pile of CMM Composites behind the bins as we agreed?
I was in solo anyway since I wasn't sure if I'd clog up a landing pad at the CG. The anti-xeno private group can get a little antsy about that and I don't want to risk a ganking in open while making my first contribution.
But yeah, I definitely didn't forget to bring commodities to help with the grind.
There are according to the Inara CG progress page 6D 18h left so you could collect your credits just after that at Kidd Station by hitting complete the modules and paint will appear anywhere from almost immediately after that to a few days later.
I'm trying to find a post... I'm sure there was something saying Thargoid scouts had been reduced in terms of experience gain. Am I remembering right or dreaming again?
From the wiki:
Thargoid Scouts were originally Elite-ranked NPC units, and rewarded the highest possible amount of Combat rank experience when destroyed. Given the relative ease and quickness with which large numbers of Scouts could be destroyed compared to other Elite-ranked ships, this made Scout hunting the most efficient method of rising in Combat rank. Frontier Developments reduced the rank of Thargoid Scouts on December 8, 2020 as part of a series of balancing changes, ending their dominance of the Combat rank meta
Two ELW's in one system, very nice.
I'm quite enjoying this CG. Not getting much experience-wise as the most ships are quite low-ranked but I'm just having fun. I would say blast but that's way too corny
