Future of ED:O?
- Thread starter Alieri
- Start date
At least the name Odyssey makes sense that way
Automated too. No dev time.
I am trying to follow your logic but it hurts a lot.
Plus which, we players have been told, in no uncertain terms, Colonia is not safe either. I guess Explorer's Anchorage might be a nice spot to hang out at. Not much trading going on there though.
As I said in another thread: "We've got a date with Destiny, boys, and she just ordered the lobster." (Mystery Men) - and we've just been tossed one hell of a lobster.
It's going to be up to us to either save it or let it burn (the bubble, not the lobster - we're going to eat that).

My lesser alt account is still in the bubble. It is woefully under-engineered, as it was meant to be a no-grind/new experience account.
I'm going to have to grind like mad, and wait for Frontier to offer new tools, if I play it. Newer players will need to do the same.

For the Live game, all too true. I'm curious as to how many will opt for legacy.
Maybe one of the engineers can come up with a Febreze bomb.
Think Megaships will be safe too. So you could sit out at Fisher's Rest in Aldebaran if need be.
I want Colonia to be burnt to a crisp, a metaphorical head on a stick. I would have much preferred it went first and been this in game form......Plus which, we players have been told, in no uncertain terms, Colonia is not safe either.

If I was FDev I'd have gone for Colonia first too.I want Colonia to be burnt to a crisp, a metaphorical head on a stick. I would have much preferred it went first and been this in game form......
Why tho?
So that the boring ignorers can carry on half a year longer, and the Colonials suffer for it?
A demonstration of power, and setting up a siege situation where you have a defined arena / logistics problems.
But make no mistake, in My pLAN™ Colonia being spanked would be the first spinning plate and not the last.
The only way that meme could be better would be an image right underneath it of a whole bunch of lobsters looking up and asking "Huh??????"I want Colonia to be burnt to a crisp, a metaphorical head on a stick. I would have much preferred it went first and been this in game form......
Problem is, it wouldn't. The same people now ignoring the new content would also ignore Colonia being destroyed, because "meh them Colonials".
The bubble must burn to change the status quo. And if that means the game goes out with a bang, so be it.
At least it got me back in the game, I'm more than intrigued.
Like I said, its the first spinning plate amid the eight- but its a microcosm of the bubble in that would the Colonials pull together? Having eight dreadnoughts on predictable trajectories means people will rally to the points of entry (or not).
To be honest either and all of them can burn, because both are redundancies for each other re engineers- bear in mind you have a superior engineering set to the bubble.
It's going to take a lot for me too feel any pressure on my CMDR, but I'd very much like there to be a threat to his survival, or even goals, that goes beyond failure to sink maintenance grind into BGS activities to keep a name on some starport title.
The status quo has long been one of mandatory boredom, with most interactions, beyond a narrow spectrum of increasingly abstract lever pulls, being depreciated to irrelevance.
Not getting my hopes up, but the more contextual hardship my CMDR faces, and the less optional those hardships are, the more I'm going to enjoy it. If there is an increase in agency at the same time (yeah, right), so much the better.

Y'know, somehow I didn't consider FCs. That's a good point.
Assuming the extreme of everything being wiped out, FCs are currently invincible right? So even in the worst case scenario, players would still be able to carry on using FCs as stations.

This is why FD need to leverage large ships more- say if you had a small cluster of indie colonies you could make a remote CG essentially copying Battlestar Galactica- the colony builds and launches megaships akin to the Gnosis and goes wandering Thargoid free in a remote area. I'm 100% sure explorer types, other FCs etc would join in, and people who can;t afford FCs can use other FCs or tag along with the megaships.
