I thought Squadrons was the Vangards beta.
Note according to the live stream Vangards is now just the name of update.
Is that “on” or “with” Dinosaurs?Give them time they are working on Dinosaurs!

You try, you invite them to meetings, but those guys are terrible. They come in late, always on their phones, and go straight to the bagels instead of sitting down.
So I'd say working "with" is out. Work "on" them and you get stuff done: [from atop a T. Rex] "Janice!! I need those reports NOW!"
strongly resisting temptation to make a joke about the ‘Tactical T-Rex’ from Kentucky Ballistics
… I suppose you’re due cookies if you know. Although it’s probably not that unlikely.
Being more serious, at the current pace I don’t expect colonization to come out of its beta phase by the Vanguards release, but hopefully we’ll have had an update that fixes our current ‘issue’ with rainbow economies by things sending stuff everywhere and always-forcibly-active planet economy modifiers (if you’ll allow me to call them such) that reduce viable building locations significantly and make it impossible to get certain economy types on their own.
Most notably agriculture, to a lesser degree military unless you only want to plonk down orbital outposts or work in star-only systems (while avoiding those with asteroid belts).
No such thing as a free lunch. I agree. 400 ARX per week is excruciatingly slow. During the 12 days of Christmas, there was once a giveaway of ARX provided you logged in to a maximum of 1000 ARX on Christmas Day. And one time, there was a week were the allowance was increased to 1200 ARX.
There was no such thing at Christmas 2024.
This is a very dense subject.
How much is the hotel?
I need a pet panther... Collecting metals gets boring without help.
No, we need this one.
Just ate a tourist?
No, ZOO authorities in China said "we kinda went over the top with feeding it".
Ahh, I feared it might be the less exciting reason...
ARX?Well there always are alternative means of payment.
Close...ARX?
Think half way thought this image should be updated? or at most every phase?
I know and understand that this is already been discussed to death, literally thousands of times, and discussing it once again is unlikely to change anything, but...
I myself started playing ED on the PlayStation 4, and I think I played something like 1000 hours or the like, before I moved to PC in order to get Odyssey and all the latest updates. Since the split, the console version of the game has been pretty much abandoned, with no updates or anything.
I really, really think this is a huge shame. Reading the PlayStation sub-forum, there clearly is still a loyal playerbase there. But they have been completely abandoned and forgotten by the developers.
This is just a huge waste of potential. As far as I know, direct game sales are still the major revenue source from ED. Imagine if Elite Dangerous: Odyssey was ported to the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X/S. Imagine if you could play the game using the PSVR2. I think ED:O could be sold as a separate game, even if Legacy players would need to purchase it (which, in fact, wouldn't be so different from ED:Horizons owners having to purchase Odyssey separately on the PC.)
As a former ED console player, I feel for those who have kept loyal, and are still playing the game. I think interest in the game on the consoles would be greatly renewed if the current ED:O with all the current updates and the same galaxy were available. This particularly if PSVR2 support is implemented.
Would it really be such a huge amount of work to port ED:O for the PS5 and, perhaps, the Xbox Series X/S? I'm quite certain it would be quite a boost in sales.
Yes, I understand that it would be a risky business gamble: Spend copious amounts of time and money to port ED:O to the consoles in the hopes that it will sell enough to make up for it. However, I think it would be worth it.
I don't really understand why FDev is so stubbornly set on never, ever supporting the consoles again. They have no problem in supporting the consoles with PlanCo2, Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Planet Zoo. Why not Elite Dangerous: Odyssey? What's the difference? Why is this one so special that it just cannot be supported on the consoles? What exactly is the problem? You don't have any problems with those other games, so why this one exception?
If ED:O were to ever be ported to the PS5 I would definitely buy it in order to show my support. Also would actually play it there, particularly if commander data were to be shared and synced between platforms.

Hi All
Question:- Is the roadmap in this initial topic still valid?
I am quite intrigued by Phase 5's content of 'ships new feature', I was also wondering what 'new' in this context means.
...and also if the roadmap has been radically altered from the initial post. I suppose I'm asking is there going to be an update on this.
