Commander, this is Ground Control

I'll reserve full judgement until it comes out but I wish they'd worked on planets with real atmospheres instead of an FPS. I want to land on Earth, Mars and others like I did on FE2.

first odissey, then ship interiors and zero g evas, then gas giants and water worlds stations, then uncivilized earthlike worlds, then civilized earthlike worlds with procedural generated cities (except earth).

A long way to go!
 
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey – Deluxe Alpha Expansion Pack option
£39.99/$54.99/46.99EUR

Will include:
  • The Odyssey Expansion
  • Official Digital soundtrack
  • Exclusive 'Pioneer' suit skin
  • Alpha access - more details to follow in the new year

Do us lifetime expansion pass holders get the above Deluxe Alpha Pack option?
 
I wonder if there will be some caves to explore... As for civilised worlds... I don't think our PCs can handle that amount of data right now. Maybe in 10 years... And Earth... Oh my God... I seriously doubt this will ever happen.

Yip, willing to wait. Just wish the focus was on atmospheric landings first. Perhaps there are technical reasons why they can't do that yet. Who knows.

Don't worry, we'll see that in 20 to 30 years. Good thing i have a lifetime :p

PS: and yeah, Earth can't happen

Trying to buy via frontier store (from steam) but the site keeps timing out and failing the captcha.
Is the frontier site that bust just now?
 
But did you really?

I preordered but that was always happening. The video could have been mankinis in space for 5 hours and I'd still have bought it.

I'm guessing that nothing at all would persuade you to buy it. So it's a touch disingenuous to suggest that the trailer wasn't enough to get you to part with cash. I mean, you actually compared those 20 seconds with Call of Duty. Might as well have just said "I have no idea what I'm taking about" and admit Odyssey was never on the cards for someone like you.

Really? That was IT? THAT was what you hyped us up for? You really thought we would enjoy that?

60 seconds of half-recycled B-roll footage, and a grand total of 15 seconds of gameplay that was mostly just "call of duty HaHa GuNs gO BRRRRR"

you're mental if you think anyone would pre-order based on that. what a disappointment.
Ha ha.

Same happened with me but then I went back to the front page to log on first. It failed when I tried logging in at the purchase point.

Frontier's website has never been a great experience if I'm honest. Not since 2014.

I think it's more about adding something different to do on them (probably also the reason why they didn't add ship interiors and they probably won't until they have zero g evas).

A really nice video there, great choice of music. It's great it was all done with in-game footage too.

Would love to hear, like a lot of other people, exactly which one the LEP holders will get. I don't want to assume anything so a confirmation would be great

o7 Commanders

This is cool and all, BUT I have to ask about consoles. I'd be willing to put down a pre-order for the Xbox version.

Will you also be offering a pre-order pack with the Digital Soundtrack included for consoles? I'm interested in that.

Alpha/Beta access would be nice to have on consoles too, but I'm keeping expectations low on that.
 
Preordered from Steam Alpha Deluxe version.......even i know how delusional and unrealistic are those ED trailers!
Spend that money wisely FD, on more complex atmo planets (dense atmo, waterworlds, weather and maybe even ELW)!
