Oh Boy.. thanks for actually keeping going with this issue! I thought it would be low priority but very very pleased to hear you are on it! The azure paintjob too? That is one of my favourite in Horizons and my heart weeps to look at it in Odyssey... But I will trust you're on the case :)

I mean I should thank you more with the patience with them.
The change to lighting is a little bit of a chase with how things look in game for Odyssey but I've gottem :)

This is known, however it doesn't allow to be used on standalone Frontier launcher because Steam (or allow?) ... it was different some year ago (when was Steam purchases possible use also for standalone launcher), but it alas changed.

Dang it, I was hoping Odyssey was gonna go on sale as well, but not to be. Maybe for Xmas.

It's on sale on Steam and bought with the base game for £4.99, still cheaper than the standalone DLC on the store. Weird.

However, I didn't buy through Steam, so like you, am waiting for the store sale.

Apologies for the slightly less chatter from me this week o7 Few plates to spin, but boy they spin o7

oh, this is great to hear! the lighting differences at this point are definitely a 'mostly just apparent when you switch back and forth between clients' thing to me, but it's nice that the team is shooting for more direct parity between Horizons and Odyssey before they call it done with.

Hmm ... now thinking about it, I have my two accounts accessible from standalone launcher and also steam (were purchased long time ago). Will be working when I purchase Odyssey DLC now on Steam work also on standalone launcher? Opposite way works, this is how I have it on my main account. Time to open ticket with store support and get some answers :)

Our tastes in colour may differ but that ship name is awesome!!

Cheers.

All my ships are named in connection to the KLF. So if someone was thinking it was to do with the Alphaville song, its not directly. However, Alphaville did name their famous song after the connection i'm talking about.

Its a story Big Music wouldn't tell you.

In the late 70s formed the greatest band that never was, a supergroup where the members only became super after they left. A punk-ish band called Big in Japan (who also had a song called Big in Japan).

Its members included:

Ian Broudie - later formed the Lightning Seeds
Ambrose Reynolds - later played for Pink Industry
Jayne Casey - Pink Military/Pink Industry
Budgie - many bands including Suzie and the Banshees and Indigo Girls
Holly Johnson - Frankie Goes to Hollywood and solo career.
a few others...

and, getting to the point

Bill Drummond, who along with Jimmy Cauty formed the KLF, also known as the Justified Ancients of Mumu, furthermore known as the JAMS. And were also The Timelords which got a number 1 hit in the UK with Doctorin' the Tardis


They wrote a book called The Manual (How to Have a Number 1 the Easy way) which apparently was read by the Austrian band Edelweiss and it inspired them to make the number 1 hit (in Austria, Switzerland, and Sweden, only got to number 5 in the UK) Bring me Edelweiss.


The music industry is crazy :D

50% of ship kits is rather nice.

25% off personal stuff, not that nice. I find the weapon paintjob prices to be way too high as it is.

I totally agree with this point. The price on the weapons skins seems far too high for something not super important, which I'm sure there is a reason behind the price point but I have held off from buying any of them because they are equal to or greater than a ship paint job it simply doesn't seem worth it. I keep holding out they will go on sale and then I will buy one set for the plasma weapons. Don't ever see myself buying multiple variations or skins for all the weapons at their current price point.

Greetings Commanders!


It's here. It's happening.
Lots of interest from many a Commander this year regarding Black Friday, so just popping this post out to say the Elite Dangerous 'Black Friday Sale' is now live.

For our Black Friday event we have:
  • A 50% discount on Ship Kits.
  • A 25% discount on Suit Customisation.
  • The release of Midnight Black Paint Jobs for all ships/vehicles.



FAQ:

Are the development team working on addressing outstanding, high priority issues for Elite Dangerous Horizons and Odyssey, despite the release of store content?
  • Yes, 10000%. Promise.
    • We're all still working toward Update 9, targetting early December release as previously stated - so watch this space for news on that as soon as it comes in. I'm really excited actually.
    • Once again, thank you all for the conversations we have here in the forums in narrowing down harder on main offending issues.
      • We continue to be on the case, but this thread won't be a place to get answers about their progress. I'm trying to keep the feedback channels as narrow as possible, for productivity sake.
How are the team working on addressing outstanding, high priority issues for Elite Dangerous Horizons and Odyssey at the same time as making content for the store?
  • Developers focused on store content are a subset in skill all of their wonderful own. We are not taking time away from core code, for example, to bring such things to the game today.
    • We would also not expect the creatives behind store content to fix such things as core code issues either - again, subset skills - Just trying to be as transparant for you as possible with this o7


Have a fantastic day and weekend ahead, Commanders o7!
