Is it really sliding in fleet carriers? If I remember it is not sliding or rotating (which is much better imo)
Nope, it is not, just being lowered down and that's it. I've never understood why stations rotate and slide you. It's not like the hangar is built to be reused once you've cleared the shaft.
Well, they rotate you so that you're facing the mailslot when you launch. Makes less sense on outposts though.
Rotation is to make it easier to take off as there is only one airlock. Why do we have rotation at outposts is a question.
I agree.
This seems like a sensible approach, at least as far as I understand it:
- People who are fine with Horizons as is don't need to do anything. They can remain on version 3.8.
- People who don't have Odyssey but would like some additional bells and whistles can get Horizons 4.0 for free, which gives them Non-Atmos settlements, four player mulicrew, and the scorpion, among other things.
- Players on Horizons 4.0 will be able to provide feedback that can be used for future updates and eventual merger down the road.
- None of this will happen until a few weeks after Update 13.

You know what would make sense in space and in a mechanism that can rotate after landing on it? If it didn't care what direction you landed on it in (since it can rotate if needed). Yet it does. You have to land on it in a given orientation and trying to land on it in the opposite is "wrong". Why? It can rotate to the what's needed underneath and when ready to launch. There's no reason for the pad itself to care which direction the front of your ship is in relation to the "front" of the pad or "back".
though i think we're going down a rabbit hole nobody is going to be happy with. You dont question what you see in elite dangerous unless you want disappointing reasons. Just tell yourself "gameplay reasons" and then dont ask yourself how this improves gameplay and move on.
why / what is funny about it?Wait a minute: is that by design??
The very few times I've played EDO I noticed bio/geo sites weren't showing on my panel and I simply thought "Oh well, just another Oddity bug".
Now you're telling me that's Working As Intended™? Who-- Wh-What the #$%&@ was FDev thinking??
Well, that's yet another reason not to play EDO.
Perhaps the Emoji(s) didn't convey what you meant?
You can see from the system map or discovery scanner if a planet has geological or biological POIs on it. If you then want to find them, taking 20 seconds to map it with the DSS is hardly "maximum effort".
The annoying thing is, of course, that you have to go back into supercruise above the planet to see the results of the scan again once you've landed for the first one.

Yeah, they brought back classic eyeballing mechanics.Wait a minute: is that by design??

But hey, maybe this means we'll get the classic ADS back next? XD
Aliasing is still pretty bad. Hoping, but not expecting, U13 to do something about that.
Well I guess the point is moot anyway, folks can choose what version of the game they want to play. I think I was trying to make a point at the intransigence of gamers and the gamer tribes they represent, pvpers, pve, sweaties, gankers, greifers, casuals, hardcore, weekenders etc. I try not to begrudge how others consume an entertainment product...not always successfully for sure.
I see what you did there!
None taken...
As do I...
Absolutely, so do i...
Neither do I. I have often likened the game to having another job, which I do not need.
They do and are most welcome.
I don't begrudge anyone for anything, except maybe that first ganker I met in his OP Corvette... I firmly believe that we are all allowed to play the game however we would like using the game as it is and in accordance within the Terms of Service.
Some days I love the challenge, other days I just want to relax and mine some LTDs without having to figure anything out...
My statement(s) above ^^^ are my take on the reality that is. It appears to me that these are facts... I apologize if they seemed like more than that. I take the game as it is, not what I want it to be. or what it should be, so to speak.
There might be a small element of that if they released the base game on PS5, that it couldn't be significantly better* than the "last gen" versions, not having major new features, which the PS4 version lacks, however I don't think there'd be a problem if they made Odyssey PS5 only dlc and it included major new features
...*Only having better resolutions, textures and loading times etc
Sony certainly has such rules about first party games, which have to come out on both PS4 and PS5 for the first two years of the PS5s' release at least, however maybe they don't have the same rules for third party devs, letting them "go nuts" on their next gen releases, while only maintaining the playability of any last gen versions

As I recall a while back there was talk of specific requirements that Odyssey has that the new generation of consoles don't support being a likely reason for them cancelling the console versions altogether.There might be a small element of that if they released the base game on PS5, that it couldn't be significantly better* than the "last gen" versions, not having major new features, which the PS4 version lacks, however I don't think there'd be a problem if they made Odyssey PS5 only dlc and it included major new features

As a lifetime pass owner... What's the Azimuth Saga?
Don't feel like I've heard that term before the last week or so.
The Azimuth Saga: The Story So Far
Greetings Commanders, and welcome to the Azimuth Saga! Many of you will have caught wind of the various machinations of Aegis, Salvation, and other factions or individuals in recent times. This post will summarise these events as they unfold, so if you've missed anything or want to get involved...
Me neither, will only play EDH - I LMFAO at those streams/Youtube, with 2 hands in front of you going up and down while running in EDO (no-one runs like that!!!) and as for killing unarmed civvies and scanning plants!!!!!!!?????? what?
If I ever DO want FPS in the future (burnt out after COD for 5 years), I will re-run Mass Effect with the Legendary Edition (not played it yet)
