What else can we expect from Odyssey?

[VR CMDR Novindus]

Just interested in what changes are coming into the game with Odyssey that are not specifically or strictly related to space legs.

What QoL improvements have been added?
Has anything from the commonly requested list made it in?
New ships?
Fleshed out any particular feature (Bounty Hunting, Piracy, etc)?
Fixed any known issues, particularly long running ones?

Maybe there can be an Odyssey Q&A dedicated to this type of information?

My time zone pretty much rules me out of participating, so if anyone has the inclination to pursue this line of inquiry in any case, that'd be grand.

Or ask in the Q&A sessions and maybe get thrown some crumbs?

No the correct DD way is to create a thread asking a non-answerable question, get a bunch of respondents theory crafting or speculating on a lot of 'what-ifs' then if enough people respond it gets forgotten that it is only speculation. Then in a few months time, someone will quote, totally out of context, someone's reply and say it is a truthful statement and become factual. Then players can, without fear of ridicule, point at the original thread and say those immortal words "BUT FD PROMISED"

I like this way. In the absence of information we’ve got nothing but speculation, and that can be a fun way to pass the time until Frontier give us the details we crave, and mistaking speculation for official info be damned!

On an unrelated note, Frontier has confirmed the Panther Clipper, and to accomodate it, stations will open a massive gaping hole at the butt-end to allow it to dock.

World peace.

FD really needs to sort out WING & Multiplayer issues, bugs as hell and this is wholly unacceptable for 2021 + social nature (if one choses) of gameplay!

 

[VR CMDR Novindus]

World peace.

That’s just a given. I want the more important details, like when will I be able to use the coffee machine in my Krait.

Agreed. Placing that there is such a giant tease.

I thought we were getting Dodecahedral stations with bigger toastracks for that.
But no, we're getting <infamous rear end extender> stations instead...

Nah I have greater asperations, I want a piece of the World

I would like to see new SRV variants, with of course additional engineers to modify them.

It is a pity, what with the necessary venting of dangerous fumes at the rear as the sphincter expands. That’s what it’s officially being termed btw.

Me also. In fact i started a threat 600 years ago about wanting the ability to fit suitible tyres etc for different environments.

Was that not already confirmed with the announced introduction of Endor’s moon? I have to say it’s taking them a long time to catch up to the latest discoveries lately. They weren’t nearly this sluggish with the discovery of TRAPPIST-1.

Eh, I was actually referring to an internet phenomenom some decade or two ago, the name of which the forum software censors.
TBH, censoring it is good, we don't want kids Googling that degeneracy.

With this they got lucky, having suitable mass system in close enough place to be right in place already.

I also thought it a nice idea to hear different pitched sounds when fuel scooping certain star types. Currently they sound completely identical. Not really an odyssey idea at all. But, i have drink much coffee!
