OMG VR-cry thread
Would you prefer an Elite Raider thread instead? I for one want Andromedaries, blood & gore then. Fallout 3 at the minimum, the uncut version where you could melt people with laser guns. Or chop off legs.

O7,
Comparing those two games is silly. NMS looks like it's made with crayons while ED looks like it's made with a technical pen.
It's a whole different ball game. I am disappointed that VR isn't implemented yet, but I am hopeful that it will be in the not so distant future with the fact that so many people are unhappy.
I can't see why they can't get a quick seated implementation of it out in a reasonable time frame, but then again, I haven't seen what's being implemented in the game yet.
Sane reason we can't have enough bookmarks. Stellar Forge painted itself into a corner. Probably same reason for no personal base-building.

It's probably a motor racing version of Power Play, with the added bonus of being able to buy your sponsors with RL money from the Frontier store, so you can put the decals on your car/s.
Frontier never suggested base building was coming, I can't criticise them for not producing something they never said they would.

O7,
I disagree. I like using the FSS in VR and find it very easy. The only issue is the orbit lines are missing. But they are missing in some circumstances in 2D mode too.
Perhaps, but lack of bookmarks has been an issue since launch. Am I wrong to want better bookmarks?

FDev is doing a great job at PR by deleting every mention of that FDev employee post outing the fact that they didnt bother modelling ship interiors. It would be easier for them to just confirm or deny it, instead they're just deleting everything about it.I'm wondering if the lack of interiors, is connected to the axing of VR. In essence if we had VR we could walk through the ships interior, but If they haven't been modelled yet... Or even if they are working on interiors but are only 40%, a 2D player will be easier to "guide" through the polished bits of the interior and "herd" them away from the unfinished bits?
And in five and a half years elite has shifted 3.5 million copies, Half Life Alyx has done more than half of that in months. Sure - VR is super niche and not worth doing.
Elite Dangerous base game has sold 3.5 million copies (plus other FDev games have sold well too)

I'm sorry for you buddy, that's the second story like this I've encountered tonight. There are a few of us who areraising havocpolitely protesting to get VR put back into Odyssey, and aprat from my own personal preference to play in VR, I really hope we manage to get VR reinstated for guys like you.
Just to repeat: there was a THREAD where an FDEV EMPLOYEE actually confirmed ship interiors are not in this update and probably never will be added. I find that much more important than a few dozen VR users complaining that an unreleased update isn't catering specifically to them and acting like its being "taken away" when the rest of the game still supports it.
So's Frontier.

It just might be one.How are we supposed to switch between VR and non-VR when using space legs without completely restarting the game?
I have a growing suspicion that Odyssey may be a seperate game mode...
I've been driving my Corolla for fourteen.
We have a defined answer on base building. That settles my purchasing decision.
We have definitive answers on many things. It's just FDev keeps deleting the responses because they don't want word getting out that this update is pathetic.
If you've seen the YouTube channels that show ship interiors - in VR, mind you.. the only way you can do that - such a comment would not surprise you at all. On a lot of ships, half the volume of the ship is taken up by the movement path of the landing gear. There is no way there will be ships interiors with this expansion.. Absolutely no way
It's certainly interesting that 70 pages more since I went to bed, and nearly ALL of it is VR based. Doesn't that say something? I mean, the VR numbers on Steam didn't drop after Alyx was released. VR is getting bigger, not smaller. I guess we're a tiny tiny minority and the PS5 gang need their FPS (damn, that's harsh, I'm a PS player too.. yeesh, sorry).
The feeling here, and Reddit, and FB and everywhere is, no VR at least in-ship as it is NOW, is a horrible mistake. To the wider 100k audience? I guess we are still a voice. Oh well. I hear Star Citizen is good... cough.

<Frontier enters room holding kitten (Odyssey); VR (Horizons) is waiting, tail wagging excitedly>
FDev: "Oh hey VR, who's a good VR? Good VR.. guess what? We found you a new home!"
VR: "A new home? Ohmygodohmygod Yes, a newhomeomygod... whatchagotthere?"
FDev: "This kitten? Well you're off to a new home, oh yes, a lovely new home, so we have a kitten to replace you"
VR: "A kitten? Wow I love kittens. New home, yes, new home. Wait.. why are you strangling the new kitten?"
FDev: "The kitten? Oh we hate kittens"
.....
I'll look after Horizons; good old boy he is. I'd never kick a good old boy out. Poor kitten.

Doesn't mean FDev should be so evasive about it. We've been asking for it for years and they straight up never address it.
