ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement
- Status
Good luck with that, I can't hit an SRV or a skimmer at 200m let alone a person. They seem to be able to hit me though...
Is it 2021 yet?
It’s way past that, it‘s 2344 where I am, and I should be asleep at this hour really.
Oh, wait...
Need NMS, Empyrion Galactic, and Space Engineer style POIs where you can have exploration points of deserted/derelict and abandoned station outposts. Or simple trade at a planetary base and/or do courier/delivery pickup jobs. Also POIs for on ground hostile NPC 'Goids (for PvE immersion) or v. other players (for the PvP aspect) or trader/deliver/hand held mining? activities. Where you can get out of your SRV and mine, explore/scan do whatever. Wonder if atmospheric planets or true Gas Giant atmospheres will be a thing as well? Imagine EVAing into a toxic Gas Giant atmosphere. Where you've got one chance to land at the cargo hatch of another ship and lock pick your way in. So you can do some piracy!
Not sure how big Skimmers are but I did tackle and destroy a Guardian Sentinel with the stock class 1 fixed pulse lasers on the Asp Exploer, fr4om about 100m above the surface pointing the ship nose down about 45 degrees. Took some time to get the hits though and was too close to have both lasers hit at once as the Sentinel was too small.
It took about 3-4 mins of manual aiming but I got it in the end. Reason was my only SRV was destroyed so i had to jump a return trip 250LY each way to restock it and complete the collection. But it can be done.
This appears to be just pvp with legs. If that is indeed the case i will wait until something more is launched. Walking around on a NON atmospheric planet is going to get boring in the first hour. Now if they couple this with atmosphere, then they have something
Why not VR?, even NMS have it. AFAIK, Elite has VR functional in all, not partial like Tomb Raider.

The video is definitely showing an atmospheric planet...blue sky and wind.
I hope so. But unless the suits have magnets in the boots then walking would be restricted to when on a planet or in a station, since there's no artificial gravity in the game. Maybe thrusters or handrails to move around in weightlessness
I am so utterly stoked over this announcemnt. Thiscisxgoing to absolutely awesome.
Thank you FDev.
Thank you FDev.
My Elite Dangerous dreams have come true! I literally CANNOT WAIT for this! This news is so exciting, so inspiring, that it actually fills up some of my "happiness battery", something which is very much drained in these terrible and stressful times. It is literally giving me elation and emotional strength! I'm sure I'm not alone in this!
A humble wish from an old Anarchy Online player: Don't forget the bars, nightclubs and cantinas!
When I think back to my fondest memories of Anarchy Online, I think of
#1 The long days flying around in my Yalmaha ship exploring the world
#2 Doing missions and fighting off bad guys (mostly solo)
#3 Clubbing!
After a lonely and somewhat desolate day of flying around and fighting, it brought such a nice balance to the game to end those days with some relaxation and socializing at one of the many bars. I also loved the fact that I had my fighting armor, but also had several sets of sexy clubbing outfits I could change into. The fact that life in the game was not "just questing" made me feel more immersed in the experience. Like it wasn't "just a game".
The thought that players had spread out in the world, all doing their own things, but then coming together at the regular clubbing times was so cool. It was cool to see the "faces" of fellow players, people I would have never bumped into otherwise. I could imagine that in a game like Elite, where we really are out there all alone out in space, that effect would be even more emphasized.

Magnetic boots are a joke in SC, people running with magnetic boots in the void as they were on earth! LOL
Theres blue sky and sun haze so this seems to be a desert planet with an atmosphere
Nope, page says "Coming soon for Steam, PS4, XboxOne"
