ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement
- Status
Your point being that if Frontier allowed us to move around inside our ships that they would do a bad and boring implementation of it? Well OK yeah touche` I don't want a bad and boring implementation I want something good. The assumption that they will do a bad job isn't much of a reason to reject interiors in particular, though I guess it's a good reason to not want them to do anything. Unless you think that Frontier are uniquely incompetent in this one particular area, I guess?Stare at our spacetoilets in awe in our ships, repair damaged component with our spacewrench until its healthpoints run full would have been so much better yeah...
You can stop "ovrservice" before launching the game (E.g. using the task manager, or a script). That way it won't spring to wild-eyed attention, when Elite calls out: "You there?", before moving on to ask SteamVR the same question. :7
No different timescale has been announced. There are more players on PC, the game itself is the same.
yay on for pre-order via steam
I know you guys will do a good job and keep expanding on it!

Dont get me wrong, I'd love to be able to wander inside my ships, even if just for the sake of it. Though for me it's a less important priority than being able to get access to more planets and doing things outside.
Its also more complex to bring interesting and varied spaceleg content inside the ship than outside, many pitfalls like boredom, do once or twice then never again, waste of time like long walks for nothing more than exit a ship etc... First and foremost it shouldn't bring more hassle to current mechanics, it should focus on other things than what can be done through the ship interface or the pressing on a button.
For me it'd make sense if it goes far beyond solely visiting our ships: it should bring EVA, boarding other ships, exploring wreckages, etc... and basically what brings Odyssey is basically the foundations so they can build proper gamedesign for interiors upon.
Having an implementation of motion sensor for headlook but missing the obvious, no-brainer low hanging fruit of making it also mappable to ship roll/pitch/yaw? Analog half-axis inputs (R2/L2)? Sensitivity adjustment and/or curves, anything besides deadzone really (which is just a mitigation for faulty hardware)?
There are many missed opportunities to make controller gameplay much much better. It takes some serious squinting to look at ED controller setup and call it impressive.
Thanks to a surprise gift from my sister-in-law, both my wife and I were able to afford to pre-order our copies of Odyssey. Having been jobless thanks to COVID since March, and having less than zero money for stuff like this (yay for needing to put a 2nd hand car on a credit card when our car literally ing died. Yes, really) we figured this year was going to be pretty . So having this to look forward to has really cheered us both up. We can't wait to go out together, bounding around on planets and taking pictures!
Merry Christmas to all of you...
Don't know if it's already answered somewhere, I can't find any...
Is there already a date announced for the alpha access?
Thanks.
Not yet.
Last I heard was the standard early 2021
Saw video, guy wrote down all systems/planets from their promotion spoilers, then checked what we have in-game there. Those are all planets with like 0.1 -0.5 atm. pressure there AND currently do not have "blue circle".
I'd suggest to buy Odyssey on the Frontier shop as well.
A Frontier bought copy can be converted to steam on request, but not the other way around.
So either buy from Frontier direct to remain independent from steam, or obtain a steam key for the account & get Odyssey on steam.
Definitely don't buy Odyssey twice for one account
