State of the Game

i'm pretty sure the elite economy revolves around the infinite supply of cat hair available in the future. in the not too distant past within the game, a discovery was made that can convert cat fur into a type of printable metal alloy.

this proved to be a much more effective means of ship production than the thargoid method of growing them from living tissue or fabricating them from purified ore you mine.

Thus explaining why cockpit cats are effectively standard in all ships and found throughout all human settlements. And why we should demand them in Odyssey before all this crap about bugfixes and optimizations.

This seems like an appropriate thread to ask...

I haven't played for about a year. I'm not very much into combat, but I have an exploration ship (krait phantom? I'm not quite sure any more) with about 70ly range, I have a few ELW's with my name on, and I last logged out in Colonia having just made the long voyage with a vague eye to making the pilgrimage towards Saggitarius A*.

Is it a good time to pick up Odyssey, or does it need a lil longer to settle?

If it is a good time... should I start making my way back to the bubble, or is this a good enough place to use as my BOO?

If it's not a good time... is it silly to stick with Horizons and play anyway?

if you're not into combat, there is no reason to care about on foot gameplay. So your only reason for odyssey would be the new planet visuals ... which comes at a steep price.

if the money could be better spent on other things, spend it there. you wont be missing anything by waiting until it's ready.

(giving the alterantive view to Darth, who I'm not even sure has tried the exxpansion for himself)

If you're not into combat I'm sure you know - in space - there are times when it's shields up and run away, rather than fight and die and it's similar with EDO. Apart from the planet tech (which is very much better imho - saw a snow field yesterday to die for) like all good diplomacy, if you draw a gun that only means you failed. And there are several missions that might require you to be stealthy but don't include combat. (Even for me combat can be fun if it's contextualised and not constant. It isn't.)

Searching for bacteria and other lifeforms is also fun imo (especially when there are multiple forms to sort out from each other) and a much better reason for explorers to set down on far distant planets than 'yet another' cache of taifette 100 yards from the last one. The worst possible case is you might need to dial resolution back a notch on your machine but I'm playing all high settings, planet materials on ultra on a laptop. i7 but still a laptop and able to do all the things above.

Talking of lifeforms. Here's a pic of two cats during the late Devonian period, about 320 million years before cats ...

an alternative to winter's alternative, (who I'm not sure has had sufficient sleep and is probably hallucinating the idea that looking at plants is worth 40 usd)

Odyssey is about 25-30 usd too expensive for anyone who wasn't really looking to play a wierd fps game but purchased elite instead and now finally has their chance.

or your idea of playing the game is screenshots.

give it 2 more months and it might be worth the money for other players
