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.

Elite Observatory - Reads/Monitors the journal as you scan systems for any interesting objects. Allows you to make custom criteria (in Lua) to notify you of potentially cool stuff too, so you don't miss out on things you can't immediately see from a system scan.

On Pc: Elite Observatory can give you a list of all the bodies you discovered first. However there is no guarantee that you actually got the tag because someone else could have sold the data before you.

In order to draw attention to new discoveries in the future, Elite Observatory has been very useful for me. I use the following to ping me with a basic notification:

FYI, if anyone on PC wants real time toaster notifications when you scan something interesting, i'd really recommend the ED Observatory tool https://github.com/Xjph/EliteObservatory
