Dual Monitor Ideas - Running Sensors Manager on a Second Screen

[Crimson Machete]

I run a dual screen setup and was thinking of games that allow you to use them in a unique way. One example I can think of is Grid Autosport where you can use the second monitor as a track side camera and leaderboard with lap times etc. I started thinking of some uses in Homeworld and the first idea I came up with was the option of having the Sensors manager permanently displayed on the other screen.

The usefulness of the Manager means that I typically flip back and forth countless times when playing, and occasionally find myself forced to remain in the zoomed out view when trying to manage more strategic movements and battles. The problem I have found is I can't enjoy the beautiful graphical showcase that major battles present if I'm in the manager. Being able to see both at the same time would be fantastic.

A more far-fetched idea I came up with was using the second screen to display a bridge-style or cockpit POV first-person camera from any ship in your fleet, that would be pretty amazing as well. And while I'm at it, how about a security feed style view showing you video from any probes or sensors you have launched? Maybe an experienced modded could work something up....

Any thoughts/comments?

Sounds like a great Idea

this will give you an advantage, it will not happen.

I would be ok in single player; IMBA as hell in multiplayer.

Sounds awesome. I used to do a similar thing in Supreme Commander, use two screens, one zoomed out as much as possible, and the other for micro
