Elite Dangerous : Odyssey Alpha Unofficial FAQ

[Barking_Mad]

You need to get the Brown Knights to write that into their FAQ

Funnily enough I just included it in my blog FAQ*, although minus the upper and lower case

*thanks for yours btw, I missed a couple of things!

 

[Barking_Mad]

I believe you all, I just am not willing to write 'buy here, it will be fine' into the FAQ because ... I am a coward

I'm going to hide behind this being an Alpha FAQ, not an Odyssey one

Pre-Alpha FAQ?

I like the presentation on your blog, keep up the good work.
(Anything that saves me reading @Factabulous posts has to be excellent )

I am unsure of the 'grenade' item. What does it do?

The frag grenade is an explosive item that once thrown explodes causing damage

Thanks, it's been a long slog in keeping it up to date for 5 years(!) and good to see my graphic design degree wasnt entirely wasted

When should I play on patch day?
Never.

Does repeatedly hitting the F5 key help?
Yes. No.

Does progress made in alpha carry over to the live game?
No.

I parked my ship in Sol. When I launch alpha my ship is at a different location?!
Your alpha savegame is a snapshot from an earlier date.

Does progress made in alpha carry over to the live game?
Still no.

What's this I hear about a phased alpha?

Frontier are going to test features of Odyssey in phases. This means not all features may be available at first, but instead introduced as the alpha and beta progresses.

Never.

This should be on top of the FAQs

No.

But they have just announced on the LS thread there will be a special guest tonight so fingers crossed its someone else.

Q - Assuming when eventually we can pre-order on Consoles we get the same Pioneer and Soundtrack deal, any confirmation? I cant see why not at all but I would like it in writing at some point.

I cant bold or change text size for some reason, are these functions now excluded in 'Essential Cookies Only setting?

"on-Consoles-we" have historically not be treated the same on both consoles, cmkIV cough-cough. on the other hand ps4 was after horizons iirc, and i don't think fdev repeats itself necessarily.

Not quite true, it's just not for Xbox players.
