Interesting. I'll admit I was hyped when I saw the video, but the Devil is in the detail. Are the new planets all dustbowls? Do we have weather effects? Do they impact flight and sensors? How big can settlements get? Are there more biomes? Are more biomes going to be added post release? So. Many. Questions. :)
 
Good evening everyone. I have an important question for developers. Even 2 years ago, Braben said that about 100 people work on the New Era. So the question is: Will you release a large paid content right away and proceed to develop the next paid content, or, as in the case of the addition of the "horizon", will be released with small updates within 2-3 years?

It's time to disembark, Commander.

We are delighted to share with you a glimpse of the Next Era - Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.



Explore distant worlds on foot, expand the frontier of known space and leave your mark on the galaxy as you become the first person in history to explore lands untouched since time began.

So you've disembarked, you're standing for the first time on an unexplored planet. What can you do next? Here's an overview of what you can look forward to in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.


One Giant Leap

See the galaxy like never before. Touch down on breathtaking planets powered by stunning new tech, soak in suns rising over unforgettable vistas, discover outposts and settlements, and explore with unrestricted freedom.


Forge Your Own Path

Take on a wide variety of contracts and play your way, from diplomacy and commerce to lethal stealth and all-out combat. Diverse settings, objectives, and NPCs offer endless mission variety and a near infinite amount of content to enjoy.


Assemble Your Crew

Social hubs spread throughout the galaxy give Commanders the ideal place to plan their next move. Form alliances, procure services, and even find expert support in highly coveted Engineers. These public outposts also help you acquire and upgrade weapons and gear to perfect your playing style.


The Sphere of Combat

Experience intense first-person combat, kit out your character with an array of weapons and gear, and coordinate with teammates to master a multi-layered, deep, tactical environment where Commanders, SRVs and Starships converge.

I'm beginning to think PP, Galnet, etc may be needing re-development due to the "new code" being used for next era. Would explain a lot, and at least give a valid reason for it all to be suspended for now, as much as that sucks.
I totally agree, all of us in the Powerplay community (and we are not few as many think, including FDev) we agree on this, suspended it, fix it, we won't argue there, we welcome it, or kill it if it is not going to work, just kill it we also don't mind. Powerplay is the only real player-driven narrative in the game that has been totally.... totally ignored, and disconnected sadly, we can create books of epic battles we had (and we are having one right now) it is very engaging and we join it because we want a player-driven narrative IN the game (though it is not happening) not a personal narrative, and both can go along side by side, but at least Fdev should remove the "player-driven narrative" from their description because up till now it is a total lie.

Remember the Gnosis event? Not only Fdev lies about this, they punished players who DARE to try and drive the game's narrative... so arrogant if you ask me.

I really hope I am wrong, and I would admit it in a heartbeat. But till then... This game is dead and dying.
 
Until they add something like Engineering that forces you to buy it or not be able to compete.

We have been down this road before.
Engineering is part of the game, love it or hate it. It's how you unlock/buy buffs. I fully expect that we'll have engineering for FPS gear, with one or more engineers that specialize on it.
 
As they described some the content, I suspect it comes with content.

To quote:

"...from diplomacy and commerce to lethal stealth and all-out combat :"

I think the worries are what was NOT said. No mention of exploration content for legs, for example. Remember, Frontier spent over a year designing the Fleet Carrier feature and never thought to include any usefulness for exploration. Not until the community uproared.
 
I have registered on the forums just now for the first time since elite dangerous came out....
Just to say, I cannot wait!!!!
Being a life time pass holder has never felt more satisfying than this moment right now.

Thank you Fdev.
