Been away a while, I gather they've been updating some of the more maligned gameplay mechanics, such as engineering and power play, which is great, but has there been any word on new features? Gas planets, Atmospheric landings, ship interiors. Dare I ask?
Checking back in after a few years away
- Thread starter Alan Flotsam
- Start date
What do you mean by this? We have gas giants already
How long is a few? Odyssey lets you land on bodies with thin atmospheres.
No
no idea what you mean by gas planets. If you are coming back from Scam Citizen and expecting like floating cities inside Gas giants then no lol.
I wish... this will probably never happen. Instead we are getting "Colonization" - a feature nobody asked for or care about.
without meaningful gameplay , ship interiors are just glitter. Plus they kinda have it for Fleet carrier.
- Don't know how long your while was, but Odyssey brought new features like on-foot combat, exobiology, concourses on starports, bookable shuttles, settlements with landing pads, a new SRV, atmospheric landings (only thin atmospheres though)...
- I consider the whole Second Thargoid War a set of new features, as it gave us spire sites, maelstrom diving, titan bombing, and a kind of Powerplay of its own. But of course that war ended recently after two years.
- Supercruise Overdrive is a new feature that has completely changed in-system travelling.
- Colonization will come up next.
What do you mean? We do have atmospheric landings, and even these thin atmospheres change the view and mood of a planet's scenery completely.
It has been asked for numerous times in this forum alone. And to say that nobody cares about it is out of touch with reality.
Hi thanks for the reply.
By gas planets I meant being able to enter the atmosphere of gas planets, gas giants.
By atmospheric landings I meant the addition of atmospherics (pressure, air density, altitude to flight mechanics.
According to Briben many years ago there were plans where we would be able to fly into gas giant upper atmosphere, fly amongst the clouds, storms, mine valuable gases, refuel etc.
