So, what stuff do you guys have running in the background to help with your Elite Dangerous experience? I currently only have EDMC and CMDR's Log in the background to help with my trading and exploring, but the Elite channel on Discord mentions EDDiscovery and EDDI which can tie in to Voice Attack. I'll have to set those up first. I also have windows to EDDB, Coriolis, and Inara open on a separate screen. Oh, and TeamSpeak and Discord too.

I may have to update this page soon enough!

Thrudd's Elite Dangerous trading tool, and some app on my tablet that does basically the same thing.


Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?

EDdiscovery and EDengineer to keep track of my data/materials. On the web I use inara a lot and eddb.io to find things.

Usually nothing in the background. I do have a small pile of notepads that I have filled with various things. System names, lat/long coordinates, routes, maps, stuff like that.

I found this a few days ago and thought it was pretty cool...
it's akin to distracted driving, but on those long hauls a video in the background is welcomed

Yep, nothing really beats a pad and pencil for things like this.
