quality of life

I was doing some market managing on my FC and saw something pretty annoying when we buy a merchandise, so commanders can sell it on our FC, we can choose the amount we want to buy on the fleet But ! when we want to sell a merchandise, let's say i have 2000 gold on my fleet, and I want to sell...

I would call it the Planetary Deployment Module, and it would enable you to drop your friends onto the planet without landing your ship. After reaching a certain proximity, you could fire it, deploying your friends, or yourself, on foot. Perhaps you could also create another version of it that...

Hello, It would be incredibly useful to have an option for manual route planning, allowing players to plot their own custom paths by selecting specific systems - either freely or by setting multiple waypoints the route must pass through. Additionally, it would be great to have the ability to...

Have you ever been in a situation where you're trying to aim your long range shot at a distant enemy, but can't tell which of the many crosshairs overlapping each other is the right weapon since they're all the same yellow dot fighting for your attention? Gimballed and turret weapon sway...

I would like to ask the community if it is a good idea that a carrier parked in an architect system with a development level of 70-100 would cause the carrier not to charge weekly costs. I mean not aquire costs when it is parked in such system, when u are outside everything work as it is working...

After getting back in to this game this year, and playing it a bit hard. I have have run in to some issues, and have some thoughts about quality of life improvements I would love to see, and even an bug I would love to have fixed. Hope Elite Devs see this post, or at least we can have a...

A couple of thoughts when it comes to managing colonies. As I understand it, there is no journal ledger for colony materials, therefore we cannot create third party tools to help with tracking what is needed for instillation completion. (Like we have with the ED Odyssey Material Helper Tool...

These are some ideas i've thought about that i think could be great additions. Ability to create actual waterfalls. In older zoo games you'd raise the land where you want the waterfall pater water below, and then make a pond up top and fill with water. I miss features like these as it's.. kind...

Does anyone else miss the old way (pre-pp2.0) that the bubble was visualised on the galaxy map? I feel that it allowed you to see the general shape of the bubble far more easily. With the new colonisation feature, I think it'd be useful to be able to see more easily the bounds of people's claims...

Elite Dangerous 2025 - 2026 Wish List Quality of life enhancements: - Radio news broadcast in the fleet carrier captain’s office via desk radio - Inventory management option in the Fleet Carrier ship's terminal - Access to powers agents via on-foot terminals and or the "Q" button...

Something I think that might be a tremendous quality of life improvement would be adjustable automatic synthesis. How it would work: Like regular synthesis, except you can toggle it to automatic mode and choose things for the synthesizer to print, and what and when to print them via slider bar...

It would be nice if the game would tell you where a person in your squadron made a bookmark. Right now you will see a message in the squadron feed (comms panel) that just says "Commander so & so shared a bookmark to the squadron." well that's cool.... now which one is it? I wish it would tell...

Something that occurred to me as I'm ferrying Totally Willing Passengers from Sol to V886 Centauri. It would be a really nice QoL feature if it were possible to set up a recurring/looping route. Example: Starts docked at Daedalus Open Galaxy Map Navigate to V886 Centauri, plot route to Rescue...

For some time now, Interface Mode controls have been stuck on the default values when interacting with interfaces during on-foot gameplay. This affects the keys Q, E, W, A, S, D, Space, Tab and possibly others, which cannot perform other Interface functions than they are hardcoded to. For...

Dear FDEV, Here are some small changes that i think the game desperately needs. It begins from easy to implement and goes towards harder to implement. If you implement them all you can even sell it as DLC. I would pay. *Keyboard Shortcuts: Launch Caustic Sink Target Nearest Enemy (Target...

Greetings. o7 I've been thinking long time about, how to improve those things, which are underestimate like anarchies. My suggestion is doing changes for anarchies (overall), piracy, and some other things, since I see, that game stops improve things, which is way important than Thargoids. Let's...

The title says is pretty much already. Not only that we often need to wait 45+ minutes on busy days (e.g. patchdays, events), the carrier router throws us back to carrier management with an error message "no slot available", making it a very tedious task to find a nearby system which I can...

Note: I decided to make a separate thread vs. adding this to the Free Update Meta-thread because it's a lot of detail and to increase exposure. I believe this suggestion has a good shot of getting through as it could really improve player experience, UI consistency and (hopefully) not be costly...

Moros intrepidus isn't frightened by the presence of Giganotosaurus, and after seeing how much attention to detail the other film dinosaur behaviors and animations in-game are implemented from their source materials, the idea I have is to have those two said dinosaur species to socially interact...

While I enjoy the concept of trading high quality animals across different zoos, players are pretty blind and simply must hope for the best when selling/ searching for animals. I love posting my high quality animals in hopes that someone will greatly benefit from a freshly aged to young adult...

With ships more commonly 'docking' by hovering in the air when it can't find a landing spot, lining up your SRV with the hangar boarding zone can be a bit of a nightmare [esp. while under fire]. Like with on foot boarding at the blue circle, I suggest adding an orange glowing rectangle on the...

Hello again! Recently, i finally had the opportunity to purchase 4 of the JWE2 DLCs, the two 'Dominion' expansions, and two of the Dinosaur Packs. When playing in the 'Biosyn's Sanctuary' maps, both in the standard version and in the square version, i noticed that, in both maps, there is no...

Since the launch of Update 14, and the arrival of the Maelstroms, many Commanders have found it difficult to instance with each other when flying in groups larger than four. The ongoing narrative development has encouraged many player-groups to coordinate and fly together. Since it appears that...

These would be a small device, kept in the grenade slot and would bookmark coordinates on a planet and place a marker on the planet only the beacon owner can see

It would be a fantastic convenience to get to the cure's research node directly from the medical scan. That way, instead of having to exit the vehicle, select the dinosaur, and head to the specific research node, we could cut right to the node itself and learn what is needed to get the cure.

I primarily play franchise mode and very lightly modded; and when I’m not playing, I’m taking care of exotic animals, namely reptiles and amphibians, in my own collections. I have a few ideas and suggestions to improve gameplay and realism in the game, and allow for better creativity. MASONRY...

While a rare and usually not too problematic issue, it has the potential to cause very large jams at times, such as in HIP 58832, Admin Systems, or around individual bodies a lot of people want to park a carrier near such as hotspots for mining/trade. This could also potentially become worse...

Similar to this idea, I often place viewing platforms/hotels first, and then try to build fences that outline the "visible" area. However, since I can't actually see the dinosaur visibility overlay while placing fences, I have to open that overlay first, try to remember about where the visible...

First of all, gotta say how disappointing is JWE2, it was said to be the definite dino park sim, but, is just JPOG in steroids. Yes, we got the so promised aquatics, but they aren't finished, they just swim and attack? (and please don't come here to tell me BUT AQUATICS EAT AND THEY EAT SHARKS...

Hi Fdev, i love to explore but its super anoing the trip to my exploration zone. (has i dont have a carrier (cant aford) and i mostly play alone, due to lack or real life time to coordenate play with other players). For me this would be a major quality of life improvment, Is it possible for you...

Rotation and group rotation can have a feature where it allows the player to set the center of rotation. Because currently, a grouped object has very off-centered rotation point. Also, rotation angle snapping should be customisable to include decimals. And not just 15/30/45 degrees.

So...I think we can all agree that tasking a 8,000kg helicopter to transport a 3kg Compy is...odd. Even if you discard the logics of it...it looks weird in the air. A good way to fix that (imo) would be to replace the helicopter with drones (which are alredy in the game) to transport smaller...

Since all the emotes added in Update 8 only animate the hands, it would make sense to let players emote from inside the cockpit. It could even send the messages (Player saluted at/waved at/etc. Object) to whatever you're targeting. Imagine saluting a ship with 0% hull as it explodes, for example ;)

o7 fellow cmdrs we all have spend several hours traveling between those engineers just for some special effects, id like to come with a new indea to tha table to have an engineering convention like every 3 months all engis out of the buble meet in some sector could be even a bit of the buble...

After watching and reading many things on the topic of Odyssey being "Too dark", and while I agree that there are issues. I might interject that Arthur is correct in saying that it's not too dark. I find that it's the overall contrast of the lighting system. It's either too dark, shadowing...

1) exploration: first of all I want to say that in my opinion exploration is undervalued, I think the community should be encouraged to explore more, greatly increasing its value, I say it because a person who was going to explore It had been a long time, but now that the odyssey is here, the...

Hi, First of all, I'm going to preface this with: I'm not a game developer, never have been and don't pretend to understand anything to do with game development. Some of these changes and updates I'm about to suggest may well not be possible due to limitations of the game engine or whatever, I'm...

I picked up ED on steam years ago and I was and am totally fine with it having automatically ported my username from there. I am NAKEDnick everywhere and I'm happy having that as my callsign. That said, I have gotten more into the roleplay aspect as of late and I'd really like to have a way of...

In a near future update. Could we please have the ability to access the experimental effects from the remote workshops? It’s just incredibly tedious having to fly back to the engineers to add effects. Especially when my goal is to get as far from the bubble as possible with my new Anaconda.

This may have been posted before, but I thought this would make traversing and Identifying stored modules easier. It would be helpful to name modules or have a notes section where you can describe what that module is used for. Just how CMDRS can customize their Bookmarks and create organization...
