ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey HUD Breakdown

I have a query and this seems like as good a time to ask: Since We've got on foot action going on, that means there will be a control scheme for it. However, I play Elite Dangerous with a HOTAS controller, and there's no way the on foot action will be compatible with HOTAS. Will there be a way to easily switch controllers without having to rebind everything?

I don't care about shooting things in the face. 🤷‍♀️

Is this all "New Era" / Odyssey is?

I mean, to be fair, this is a general audience trailer made to show during a game awards show. The trailer is meant to generate excitement through action. Go watch the previous game trailers for the base game and horizons, they are action packed, but aren’t representative of the sum of all game activities.

Nope. As Frontier have stated the "entire game" will be "transposed" to an on foot experience for Odyssey. Now just happens to be when they are finally giving us a tease of combat.. For Elite: Dangerous. ;)

Yeah. It's not for me, sorry. Glad all the CoD and Doom fans are happy though. 🤷‍♀️

Yes I use a control pad for my srv so don't see a problem on foot there will be separate bindings based on activity imho 😉 o7

Seriously though this is looking pretty damn good. I can wait for next year (we've still got some type of holiday season) but it's on my wishlist. PS4 version please!

Maybe info for later, but is there a limit on what planets you can go out on foot? A 9G world is going to be murder on your spine, not to mention be a bit dangerous with thrown ordnance.

You would be already experiencing the gravity in a landed ship or SRV. We can hand wave some sort of gravity suit support I suppose.

The solution they offer for virtual reality players is insufficient, at least the projected screen would have to be in 3D, with less than that I will not buy it and the ideal of course is a complete vr support, which I can get off of my cockpit and play in room scale

The Odyssey OST should add soundtracks to space exploration as well. Because currently there's too few.

Two things I've not seen mentioned yet are, Can you move from and SRV to on foot and back and now we have a preview of the on foot HUD it makes me think will the colour scheme of this be affected by the edits possible to ship HUD colours?
