Elite Dangerous: In Case You Missed It | Update 14 Release Date and More!

Greetings Commanders & ED crew. I've been in the mix for just over a year now. I've tried most aspects of the game, stick to open play, got ganked and reprimanded two days ago for participating in the Kingfisher supply CG, and then managed to get through with two loads of goodies for the megaship. A satisfying experience I'd say.

So thanks very much all for keeping the game alive. It's truly an astonishing demonstration of virtuoso coding and always a blast!!!

O7.

" The Azimuth Saga will conclude in a grand finale event, the consequences of which will mark the beginning of the next stage of the Elite story in Update 14. "

This update will be the biggest for ED Odyssey right? I really hope we get Thargoids in the flesh at the Thargoid sites and settlements. ED could easily add a type of Aliens style sneak-around, action multiplayer gameplay that made the Aliens series so popular.

Excited for on-foot Thargoid encounters - so I made some screens (from old concept art) - this fan-art got 1.2 thousand upvotes. That's how much people want this in-game.

Thargoid on-foot encounters would revive the popularity of ED and improve the user reviews on Steam.

Greetings Commanders!

In case you missed it, Frameshift Live Episode #21 contained a few exciting hints of what's to come in Update 14, which is now confirmed to release on November 29th!

During the livestream there was talk of:
  • An all new Thargoid Interceptor with unique characteristics.
  • Upgraded AX weaponry to get Commanders into the fight faster!
  • An increase in payout for EXObiology!
Hear all about the above and more by catching up on the show here:



These weeks genuinely are flying by in the Galaxy right now, Commanders but there's still lots to come before the year ends.

Fear not, we will be sharing preparations and walking alongside you throughout Update 14 Launch day, as usual with any update release, right here in the Forums.
I'll be sure to share the expected order of proceedings with you as soon as they're mapped out, ahead of time, and we can make a start on this new journey together!

Thank you for being here! Have a wonderful weekend ahead.

Thanks for that news Sally. Will the prospecting in Odyssey be getting a fix though? For example, a target will pop up on a fumarole but most times you can keep firing endless bullets at it and nothing at all comes out, so you end up wasting bullets and have to go and target something else. Cheers!

Never EVER has this happened to me - are you sure your fire is actually hitting the materials fragment and it is not shielded by the curve of the fumerole?

turn down your expectations.. What in the last 7 years makes you think that this is what might be delivered?

I don't think so - I've tried firing at all sorts of different angles and from different directions but still no joy.

Maybe the Panther Clipper, more settlement variety and NPCs, more mission types, drinking and eating at the Concourse bar, RTX ray-tracing support, better anti-aliasing.

Here I did a quick video showing fragment shielded at first them moving to get clear shot. Does that look anything like you see? (Horizons BTW)

No, that's in Horizons anyway where a lot of people have said the prospecting works properly when it does not in Odyssey. In fact, many CMDRs don't bother with prospecting in Odyssey but just go into Horizons to do it.

Not all the prospecting in Odyssey is bad though in my experience - crystalline clusters and piceous cobble for example are usually ok but I find the fumaroles are mostly a waste of time and bullets whenever a target pops up for one.

Oh I'd never go materials prospecting in Oddy - In fact I spent over 20 min in Odyssey this afternoon after making that video just to film a comparison - couldn't find a single fumarole or geyser - not one - complete nightmare so gave up.

EDIT: Obviously with the split into Live and Legacy, that no longer holds.
