Slave Client
A slave client is a secondary client that connects to the primary client, but not to the server.
Let's say VO opened up port 2255 and you could connect a second computer to that port over LAN, log in using a username/password set in the primary client, and access many of the features via that interface.
The slave client could be a purely 2D client, fairly simple and light-weight, to allow even low-end secondary computers to be used as a second display for Vendetta.
It'd basically be like always having the PDA open on one screen.
The devs could just enable some kind of IP socket support for the Lua and let us hack our own?

What are you cooking, Demmy?
Whaaa...? Me? I've never ... well ... errr...
It wasn't me!

Methinks Demonen wants to play from work in an easily-hideable interface...
No, Demonen wants to see the PDA section on a real PDA. I see only one good reason for this -- to observe a list of ships in the sector
Though do other things like plotting and mission chatting without leaving HUD mode on a primary display... might be handy and add immersion. You still have 2 hands though and they are on primary comp's controls

Awwwww, I wanted a REAL slave client :(
I thinks "Demmy" has something much more sinister than what aleksey assumes
I'd love to be able to be inside VO on my iPhone.
That would PWN.

forget about the iphone. apple's keeping it's thing as tightly closed as hetero's in san francisco.
i dont have to draw you a picture and describe the anger wich 5000 developers are displaying in that matter. you should just see the attendee's instant messenger's status messages. you'd understand right away.
peepz are pissed.

Thank you, upper case, for that very on-topic and relevant comment.
Anyway, I'm not looking to do anything horrible, I just want the toplist up, and be able to navigate on one screen while flying on the other.
What I'm really after is immersion. It'd feel more like the brige of a spacecraft.
