small note, we have environmental hazards already... Invisible rocks and plants!

An obvious choice, if I may.
Ultimately, we all will be able to bask in His Holy Game Vision. May the Sacred Melted Ice Cream be praised !
while an interesting decision on their part.. i think it would go over better if it was something a player could master dealing with and benefit better from that mastery in a way that encouraged participation and becoming better skilled at doing it. They might have trouble leveraging invisible obstacles for that.
I kinda liked looking for mushrooms on planets when you actually had to search for them, instead of just watching at them. People used to speculate why there were pumpkins in California nebula, or brain trees next to Guardian sites.
No, just that they had to make dredgers craftable and pilotable and ownable to players.
Which i'd also take in place of doing any other actual meaningful improvements to the existing game.
Hahahaha can you imagine it - the whole game hinging on Brebus and his pals at a drinking game?!
I do agree, corrosive gasses, acidic goop pools, which are challenging to scan before your suit melts... geological anomalies, like electromagnetic crystalline fields that mess with ship and srv equipment... just off the top of my head
the bet was made. No comment yet from Fdev on living up to their part.
Thanks for highlighting this...Everone seen this one?
Odyssey Going Forwards
Greetings Commanders. With the release of Update 5 on 1st July plus a few smaller server updates since, and Update 6 currently in development, I wanted to take a moment of your time to talk about the next steps for Elite Dangerous. We are aware and fully accept the frustration that many of our...forums.frontier.co.uk
Ahhh... the comments... whenever one gets deluded into thinking that the human race is made up of rational, empathetic and balanced people, one just needs to read the comments sections in any forum (apart from this one, obvs) to re-affirm that no, a fair percentage are h0les...
Good to see after what actually was a pretty encouraging letter from the Great Lord Braben that there are still a good few "yes, but all I care about is ship interioz" muppets in full broadcast mode...
Radiation would go a long way to providing a flexible means of implementing hazards as well.
also give the game some means of not relying on "heat" for everything that doesn't even make sense for it to be a factor in.
it all doesn't matter what ideas we come up with... we've had this kind of song and dance before about core gameplay.
All we can hope for is that whoever is calling the shots and making the decisions this time is someone totally different from all the previous times, has actually and still actually plays the game... and has a vision of how they can make it better and the ability to actually deliver that vision.

Waddya mean!
I was in a 'debate' with a 'proper' explorer earlier today and they were bleating about Odyssey just being a FPS and having nothing for 'explorers'! Despite me explaining in very simple words that with the DLC Combat remains at 50% of Elite Ranks but Exploration is now at 33% from 25% - so nothing done for 'explorers' at all... All becuz ship interiors aren't able to be explored!
Explorers have had loads of stuff- assets, mechanics, load of things. Its about time other parts of the game got love, and that FD stop thinking Elite Dangerous is set in a juice bar collective owned by Xavier and Pamela.Waddya mean!

Your log is the highlight of my day, I can't wait for the rest, such a cliffhanger !
It isn't?
the entire engineers game revolves around combat or limiting weight for trading.
the entire odyssey update revolves around foot combat.
mining got a little love with core mining. Trade got a little love with the galaxy map that nobody uses for it but is otherwise stuck in 1984 functionality.
Exploration is pointless.. and yea, explorers got a DSS ...but that amounts to pointing and clicking and involves no other gameplay. There is no "good dss players"
Everything needs a fair amount of attention. But most importantly, it needs holistic attention from people who actually play the game and those different aspects of it.
