EDHM VS ed-odyssey-materials-helper

oh okay. I recommend installing EDHM, it makes colours changing much easier

You can change the colors of your cockpit with EDHM https://github.com/psychicEgg/EDHM

Here, cmdr EDHM CPM MOD o7

Aisling Imperial Palace

Also using EDHM UI with CPM mod (for hud and ship panel colors)

Elite Dangerous Odyssey Materials Helper

Install Odyssey Material Helper and farm mats in Anarchy settlements. Enter supercruise and return to respawn settlements, no-settlements work with relog if you have a mission on it and didn't retrieve the mission item. You can sell the same item again and again in your FC Bartender, to unlock some engineers. Buy the easy mats in the same bartenders, or farm in the correct places with the correct respawn mechanic. Now the system CD-51 2650 include Anarchy faction (CD-51 2650 Purple Gang) with lot of different settlements economy, you can go here and kill everybody without bounties or notoriety, while farming mats.

So I strongly suggest icarus, especially if you have a tablet collecting dust (I bought one just for this). Material helper is an absolute must, so is an account on inara.cz.

From my POV, the game has only one major flaw: it became too big, but the UI didn't match that to help the players. Basically: without inara.cz, material helper and icarus, it is just too confusing and hard to get around.
