You're really trying to tell us you passed through multiple doors, entered and exited objects, potentially used ramps... and didn't die once?
Come on man, that's one hell of a stretch.

You're really trying to tell us you passed through multiple doors, entered and exited objects, potentially used ramps... and didn't die once?
Come on man, that's one hell of a stretch.
When those hangar doors started closing, and the ship was still half out, I honestly expected the explosion to come. Instead the doors shoved against the aft fin on the port side of the ship and shifted it just enough to tilt upward inside. It looked like a beached whale, and I have no idea why I couldn't get more than halfway into the hangar (it almost looked like the textures hadn't properly loaded despite my having an NVME M.2 SSD), but nope, no explosions.
I actually prefer the more complex startups like DCS planes. Rogue System had a nice one for spaceships but the project went bust. Saw another like it but forgot its name.
That's an old first wave PTU bug that was fixed (supposedly) in later PTU builds
You can do that in SC to an extent...flipping individual switches and stuff to power everything on. It gets real old after the first time so hitting the 'Flight ready' button to turn it all on automatically is much more attractive. I've no doubt some will still use the function...all I want to do is get out of the hangar and on my way.
You can do that in the C2. There are quite a few actionable switches. I didn't bother, though, because my goal was to get my ship to any space station so I wouldn't have to take a 10 minute tour of the city just to get to my hangar.
Ah, I see. Yeah, I noticed at first when I was coming in, the textures seemed blocky, even "industrial" in that it was all grey and orange, so it's completely possible that the hangar hadn't actually fully loaded by the time I arrived, because the C2 would not go forward no matter what I did. I only lucked out because the hangar door shifted it on its side and that was enough to get me inside. I logged out that way, too. I wasn't EVEN going to attempt to exit the ship at that point. lolThat's an old first wave PTU bug that was fixed (supposedly) in later PTU builds
Yep. I'm an "R" pilot. If I'm feeling jaunty, or really want to get into it, I'll flip some switches, but otherwise I'm usually just trying to get away from the hangar before the game decides I've been sitting there too long and despawns me.
It's still true.Whats that saying, any landing you walk away from is a good landing
I just finished playing around in Odyssey. You know, if they give me the ability to walk around in my ship, there's going to come a point where I'm going to be like "Star who?" because they'll have done something that CiG has been promising for nearly a decade. As much as I like the, ah, "fidelity" of Star Citizen, I don't need a job simulator where I need to take a shower and brush my teeth every 8-12 hours, or admire my lovely physics enhanced bed sheets. Odyssey's very close to scratching the itch that has been there for many years.
I've said that since I tried out the EDO alpha. If FDev had added ship interiors and EVA gameplay for Odyssey, Star Citizen as a PvE space game would have become largely irrelevant overnight...
After all the waiting, EDO still doesn't have the one thing that keeps me playing SC...Odyssey has more than enough that it'll certainly get me back playing Elite for a few more thousands of hours, I've no doubts of that...but I'll still heave a hefty sigh every time I approach that ship ladder and it fades to black

Yes. EDO's graphics look great. I didn't play the Alpha, so I was unspoiled when it dropped me into the training mission. It feels more complete than SC, while also getting pushing aside the more (IMO) absurd details that CiG likes to promote as unparalleled. I just get on my ship, I leave the station, I can go to any moon, planet, asteroid, whatever. I can land, disembark on foot, carrying my weapon just in case, I can explore ruins, search for ore and run back to the ship and bring out the SRV, I mean, a few more ground vehicle choices, letting people walk about in their ships, and such, and Star Citizen will just be a shiny, overpriced, overwrought mess.I've said that since I tried out the EDO alpha.

I mean, more so.
Which reminds me, I am having so much bad luck with that Hercules C2. I went back to New Babbage, and as I came in to land, they gave me the tiniest landing pad (with a giant empty one sitting right next to it). So I request landing again, and they insist on the one below me. So I try to land, and I somehow just manage to scrape on by and get the ship inside the pad hangar, and as soon as I land and shut off the engines, I get warned that I'm blocking a landing pad (I'm not), and that I have 38 seconds to leave. I figure, I'll just get off the ship, and I swear, if you had to leave the C2 in a hurry you'd be dead.
Going through the doors and to the elevator alone takes a full 30 seconds, and with the 8 seconds I have left, the elevator decides to take its sweet time getting to me, and next thing I know I'm in New Babbage, looking at the ASOP terminal. Ship impounded, 500 UEC fee.
It turns even the most basic actions, things that should be routine but enjoyable, and makes them a PITA.
Honestly, I think I'm just stoked with Odyssey. I'm hoping to play more in a few days. Sadly, my controller died, and I have to wait until the new one arrives. I know it probably sounds silly using a gamepad to play, but I've been doing it since I first bought the game, and I'm loathe to learn all of the keyboard commands at this point.
Voice attack is your friend in that case
I've been using VA with the HCS voice packs for Elite, Star Citizen and many other titles for a few years...including Star Wars Squadrons. HCS have also just added an Odyssey specific voice command profile to augment all the voice packs, all ship computer functions are voice acted by famous names like Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, Brent Spiner, Brian Blessed, Marina Sirtis...many others. The profile packs also have built in profiles for Star Citizen, Elite, SW squadrons and MSFS 2020 with pre-configured voice acted control functions with standard keybindings for all those games in all the basic packs...
My personal favourite of the HCS packs is Celeste, voice acted by Sabrina Ruiz...with her French accent, she can make "Gear coming down Commander." sound almost sexual
Bottom video shows a few of the new Odyssey specific functions...much as I used them during the alpha test.

Oh my goodness.
Edit: Oh my goodness, the voice pack is only about $11, and the software's only $10. I have to get this even if it's just on principle. Also, I've fallen in love with Celeste already. ♥
Thank you, Mole!

They all work with both Elite and Star Citizen, profiles for both games are built in to every voice pack...it's as easy as switching profiles in Voice Attack when you change games
The support for Elite is second to none with a huge array of voice acted responses to every voice command. Star Citizen isn't quite as detailed with some commands not included, like docking requests (since SC has never got out of alpha) but everything is covered...from opening doors to launching the ship. It really comes into it's own during combat...targeting, selecting missiles, locking and firing them, shield and power management, launching countermeasures...HCS covers it all.
Even QT jumps..
"Celeste, spool the jump drive please."
"Certainly Commander..spooling up now."
"Initiate jump on my mark.."
"Standing by.."
(wait for spooling to finish and line up with the marker)
"Punch it."
"Initiating jump."
Awesome, immersion factor 9.5. I couldn't even begin to list the sheer abundance of functions...perhaps especially the yellow or red alert voice commands for Elite when facing an interdiction...it automatically sets pips to shields and weapons, targets the interdictor and deploys hardpoints when you drop out of supercruise, all without pressing a single key or button

That's OK. Vikings hasn't really been worth watching since Season 4 (I think).
I'm not saying that to the bloody Vikings up here...they'd throw me in a pit of snakes

Discord bot thing.
3.14 got griefed
3.14... I underestimated CIG. Thought this would be peak irrationality. It's also peak entropy.

I can see the attraction to Celeste, but come on, there is only one voice you want in your ear when in combat and that is Brian Blessed's.
Just amazes me CIG didn't call it 4.1 or something. Now their version number is behind ED! They've never let that happen before.
