Whoa, I for one am glad that some drama can be actually squeezed out of a whole lot of nothing. Good for him!

lol, the information is there, you just don't like it.
They currently aren't even working on a console Odyssey version. They will let you know when they start and can make a guess when / if it will be finished. There really isn't anything else to say at this point.
After all these years it's finally becoming real... Whoa...
And a view from my fleet carrier's bridge plus concourse.
This sounds so much like going all the way. That's new, and I hope it will be awesome!
Thanks for the update!

When Horizons users eventually get the Odyssey game client (minus disembark and atmo landings) they'll get the multi-limpet controller too. I gather this is meant to happen around the time of the console launch (given they'll be getting the same deal.)
I'm guessing it will be D-rated at most, so there's still an advantage to using dedicated controllers.
But it will open up a few more starter ships for mining, which will be nice for new players.
Use voiceattack (ignore the voice features) or joy2key.
You can translate presses on the joystick to the keypresses Elite is expecting. Yes, it's one more program to run, but it works.
In the meantime they're looking into the 32 button limitation.
You really need to update console players as to what is going on for them. It is incredibly poor that there hasn’t been any update regarding odyssey launch for consoles. You need to state whether odyssey is coming or not as it isn’t acceptable, and a little disrespectful, just saying usual nothing.
Console version is comming 2023
Wohoooo that soon!!!!? great news .
Source? Lol
I think we would rather hear that sort of thing from fdev themselves.
Issue with larceny missions not giving material rewards that has been here since forever... and still not fixed.
Issues with settlement raid missions where the last NPC refuses to spawn.
Issues with restore missions introduced with Update 8.
FDev should focus on fixing these before adding any more broken mission types.
Absolutely. It was a bit of a question.
In the meantime I came up with another possible interpretation. Maybe not as close to what was said, but more realistic.
No Update 10 in 2021, the special FC tour will be a sneak peek on stream.
Yeah, thats not how anything works. At all. An FPS with smaller dedicated handcrafted maps will always run more easily than a game that has to do what ED does. Let me know how ME4 runs when you can fly the ship anywhere, land on full-scale planets. This game can bring your pc to its knees and looks like it's literally from the 80s:
This "if it's not as pretty as [X] it should run better!" is just ignorant. For what it's worth, I got an average of 27 FPS yesterday.
In ' Age of Empires 4, lol.
Yesterday I was (and still am) pretty hyped about the multi-limpet-controller, but a bit of realism has settled in in the meantime.
The reason we wanted this for so long is because the current limpet situation is a mess, it's BAD. But Frontier have said here and on stream that they want to balance the new MLC with the current situation. So does that mean is has to be equally bad?
Why not just make a limpet bay, similar to a vehicle or fighter hangar. Size determines the number of slots and you simply put regular controllers in there. If you want to have more, you'll need more power and it will add weight. That's really all the downsides we need. It sounds so simple.
Obviously I'm just guessing here and I'll have to wait and see, but please don't screw this up. Unfortunately I've become very cautious when it comes to Frontier and the words 'design' and 'balance'.

That will screw over small ships. My idea: they cost, weigh and use as much as an A-rated controller. Limpets perform as D-rated. Scales roughly likes this:Yesterday I was (and still am) pretty hyped about the multi-limpet-controller, but a bit of realism has settled in in the meantime.

C1= two types, max one limpet active
C3= four types, max one limpet active
C5= six types, max two limpets active
C7= six types, max four limpets active
You can select the types in any station with outfitting. Dedicated miners would still want dedicated limpets, but for multi-purpose it'll be fine.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind having to manually "deactivate" certain types.
In the end I think we want the same thing. Being able to actually interact with all the stuff we randomly stumble upon in a multi-purpose ship. Instead of having to ignore all that content because I can't fit 15 different limpet controllers in my ship.
Does ME4 feature a 1:1 scale galaxy? No. It doesn't feature 1:1 scale star systems. And it doesn't feature 1:1 scale planets either. Elite Dangerous is slightly more complex and no other current game engine would even be capable to run it without major rewriting which probably results in all kinds of errors.
That doesn't mean Odyssey can't run better, it just means that you can't compare it to most other games.
