Thx for satisfying my curiosity. Pushing through is usually not recommended, better to take it small steps at a time (pardon the horrible pun), and make frequent breaks. I needed ~6 weeks to fully adapt, while my wife can jump into Onward with little to no VR training whatsoever ;-)

You are correct WRT teleport. In a shared universe I imagine players would have to have full locomotion and either grow vr legs or play parts in 2d. The only other way I can think of is a novel way a game called From other suns used which had a kind of out of body experience . It would.people at a slight disadvantage but it worked. Google if interested as I can't really explain as on phone and meant to be working
I would guess the same as happens if you switch from Horizons to vanilla ED. You get put back in space in your ship.
I tested it with a friend who writes game reviews on some websites, it's a nice fast paced gameplay.
Telefrag VR on Steam
Telefrag VR is a hellishly fast-paced shooter with visceral movement and combat mechanics. Dash, shoot, and teleport around unique arenas that feature impossible geometry where there is no right side up and death can come from any direction.
I doubt it. Case in point: Oolite.
You are assuming they have a definite answer now. The answer might be yes if we can deliver it to a reasonable standard within budget, no if not. Would that make you any happier?!Please pass to the team, that we NEED a DEFINITE answer. A definite YES or NO for POST-LAUNCH VR SUPPORT.
We need to know if it's an end for VR Elite or not. Please understand, that for some of us, going back to monitor gameplay is NOT AN OPTION. Period.
If Elite is to drop VR support, then it's the end of the road for some of us and we at the very least DESERVE a QUICK, HONEST answer about this. For all the financial support we have given you over the years as customers.
Hardly the same game then really. I wonder if you would keep the credits, it all sounds disjointed.

No what we need is Roman Abramovich with very deep pockets and a love of ED to splash some serious cash to make all our dreams come true!I doubt it. Case in point: Oolite.
That looks great fun! And surely easy to implement for other controllers.I tested it with a friend who writes game reviews on some websites, it's a nice fast paced gameplay.

No. It's not rocket science to get VR implemented for Odyssey. It's just a matter of time and money. It is a financial decision that some higher up has to make at Frontier. I won't be satisfied until I know what that decision actually is.
Well yes you do keep everything. Even your SRV and the ships you can’t buy in vanilla ED. So chin up, not as bad as you thought!
Looking at how low priority VR seems to have had for Frontier since ED's release I never expected a deep VR style FPS shooter in the first place. Since release all work that has gone into VR was to keep it working mostly at a bare minimum. Accordingly I expected it for FPS to be a barebones tacked VR experience with a basic camera attached to the player with just standard mouse/keyboard controls. And for me that would have been probably fine.
Currently there doesn't seem to be even that. If there would be any plans right now to add (even basic) VR support post-launch, i think Frontier would have already communicated that they'd be looking into re-adding it in a future patch after launch. They didn't.

It is, it soooo is,
I had to play rubbish 2D in the first place. Ain't happening, grrrrrrrI think your likely to be unsatisfied for some time then. At the risk of being called out for introducing real life into the discussion the economy is taking a big hit at the moment and while small luxuries like games and chocolate do well in a recession, whereas things like family holidays or big tech purchases do not. So FDev maybe waiting to see what happens to sales, of the games and VR kit, and looking to maximise on the development already done for Odyssey before committing any more cash to the project.
I suppose my latest fear is that Odyssey is a new game, a stand-alone that they can just transfer your account into. If you are familiar with flight sims then an example would be P3D v 4 cost £200... P3D v 5 same sim... new engine ish... ah! its a new sim so new £200 please. Not taken that plunge yet and I don't think I could anyway.
I am searching for a glimmer of hope... but I know that having had the VR experience... well, technology once learnt you would think was irreversible.
Since it's communicated as an expansion, not as an entirely separate sequel in the Elite franchise, it will almost certainly connect to the same Elite: Dangerous production back end as the base game and Horizons.
As The VR debate rages I find myself becoming more and more frustrated with devs attitude to its fans , The fact that they announce Odyssey with a very ambiguous statement "not at launch" - they throw a grenade in the room and walk away, sit down with popcorn and watch the show - Disgusting!
Looking at the moment, Frontier's Market Cap [1] is 764 million pounds. Obviously that share perceived value includes their other games, including their as-yet-unreleased projects, but still, you're probably looking at a sizable 9-digit sum to either buy Elite Dangerous from them or get majority control of the shares to force them to sell.
If you have or can collectively raise that much money, just found your own games company and make your own space game. Sure, you wouldn't be able to include Lave and the Cobra III but most people don't have so much attachment to those bits of IP that they won't play a space game without them.
[1] The amount it would cost to buy all shares at the current price. You might need to offer slightly more for a formal buyout, but it's a reasonable estimate of the sort of money required.
No, I won't sheepishly wait for them to tell me what they don't want to be upfront about but try to hide to soften the impact on them !
Or, to cite some of the other users here:
Pehpas it is an age thing, or if you have been exposed to corporate lingo in your life more frequently - well, I am both a bit older & kow this kind of word-smithing when statements try to turn bad news into something which the recipient won't immediatelly recognize in its extent of badness but will have just enough ambiguity to allow for wishful thinking while at the same time not closing the door for you to tell them later on that you never said it was going to follow at a later stage.
Old trick, nothing FDev invented newly.
Lol true dat
Also let's.be honest ED is literally full of compromises anyway little features which don't really work 100% or design decisions which are quite shallow. This is true of many games and it does.not make elite a poor game..... But it does weaken the position of "we will not compromise our quality" to include a feature. Smells like the stuff from bovine bottoms to me
