Elite Dangerous: Odyssey | Update 9 Notes

[St0rmFury]

Cool. And then two important questions arose:
1) Will Scorpio have a data feed scanner? If so, why do we need a Scarab now, just as a truck?
2) Quest Ram-Takh. How will obelisks behave if they are "shown" 3 or 4 objects? New behavior or will it choose "matching keys"?

The correct combination of 4 guardian artifacts will reveal the location of Raxxla.

 

[Rat Catcher]

So how many new Raxxla theories will this kick off?

Particularly as the servers went off at 9 am... on the 9th , for the 9th update?

Introducing…The Scorpion.
The Scorpion, a new SRV designed specifically for supporting infantry on ground-based combat has rolled into action.

• The Scorpion is fitted with 2 seats for a driver and a gunner, allowing two Commanders to operate as a team in this formidable fighting machine.
• All Scorpions come fitted with two weapons:
• Surge Repeater - A rapid-fire weapon that increases its fire rate and accuracy the longer it's fired for.
• Aculeus Launcher (I’m not saying that on stream) - A combination dumbfire and lock-on missile launcher.
• The Scorpion is only stocked at military economies.
• Scorpion Cargo Bay = 2

Let's get a going! o7

Hi Sally o7

That's what using the keyboard is like

One quick question related to the SCORPION.

Does it have all the sensors and cargo scoop just like SCARAB?

Have a well deserved rest

The correct combination of 9 guardian artifacts in your Scarab cargo bay will reveal the location of Raxxla. It's like the free 'Conda.

 

[Evoflash]

Nice.

Also nice to know the rarity of SDPs will be addressed. Maybe you can up the rate of financial projections as well

Bad news CMDR, just checking back and I notice that the SDP fix is in the "not quite done yet" list

It seems that one is proving surprisingly difficult to track down.

Well as we have now been told that it has a cargo bay the cargo scoop had better be there.

Wait, so now the Scarab can carry 4T?
Why FD? WHY? Now my DBX with 2T cargo is useless and I have to re-arrange the modules to adapt to this new dumb feature!

Was that credible enough?

You can always make more room by removing the vehicle bay.

Well, there is still time for the Update 9 for the future Elite Dangerous: Labyrinth what could happen at 9 am, on the 9th day of the 9th month in the 9th year of ED existence....

 

[Evoflash]

So how many new Raxxla theories will this kick off?

Raxxla is mooted as the eighth moon of a planet (I forget where), so it's the 9th body.

4/10 for effort... too much punctuation, not enough CAPS or exclamation marks...

I am quite dissapointed to see some major unadressed bugs in this update. I know you can't do everything at once, but come on:

• It's impossible to finish the ship pilot license training as the "go to hangar" button stays inactive 100% of the time. This affects all new players!

Aye-aye-aye...this one's been a bit major and I have to say - it got missed from the notes! So many notes sometimes!

Updated "Tutorial section" of update notes with the following:

Tutorial

• Ship-focused tutorials no longer allow on-foot actions such as disembarking.
• An issue has been addressed whereby players reported being unable to enter the hangar at the end of the flight tutorial in Odyssey, resulting in them becoming "stuck".

Not to mention the missed friend and the fact they both plan to leave ED

Nah!
You should have demanded all cargo racks be upgraded to carry twice as much to compensate.

1) Will Scorpio have a data feed scanner? If so, why do we need a Scarab now, just as a truck?

It doesn't have thruster pods so it probably lacks a lot of the Scarab's mobility.
Hopefully it can still right itself if when I flip it over.

Speaking of the sensors it'd be nice if they added odyssey assets to the wave scanner. You can be staring right at a grove of mushrooms or a bustling settlement and the scanner's just dead silent. Feels weird.

Brilliant changes, brilliant notes, and a great sense of humour, @sallymorganmoore . A small spelling mistake: exoected.

It's quite possible the Scorpion won't have the wave scanner either. I can well see that being only for the Scarab.
