Q: The Asp Scout. It was said long ago it was going to see love and FD had plans for it- will it have a fairytale ending in Odyssey or is it still going to be a G5 pumpkin?
in the context of things, What do you mean by [REDACTED]
Will take a look a look, but might be hard to add something in that is not confirmed is actually there yet...

Hi!
I was wondering if you could share a bit over what happened to codex rumours. They looked like a very interesting mechanicbut they've ended up never being used. I'm not particularly interested in knowing whether they're coming or not in the future, but rather into what led to them being "forgotten", e.g., you could not find any way of leveraging them that would be enjoyable for the players? You judged that actually using them would consume too many development resources that we now know were being dedicated to ED:O?
Thanks!

Elite on PC and XBox Series X currently support 4k in-game resolution, whereas the version of Elite running on PS5 does not. Do you plan to correct this?

As we have stated previously we find betas very important to the development of our games. How and when we use our betas is still being decided, when we have any news we will update the community.Will there be an Odyssey Beta? If yes - any indication when?
We are looking into reports of issues with the Azure paint jobs and will update our community when we have more to share.
Will we ever see a rework of the type 7 so it can land on medium pads?
Another part of the game that sorely needs some updates is CQC. Are there plans to get your hands on it at some point?

Hi Ozric,
I'm keen for smuggling to become a viable high-risk/high-reward alternative to trading as I alluded to in the other thread you just mentioned. As for the 25% bug, I can confirm that by virtue of being on the Issue Tracker it can be considered known and fitted into QA/Devs agenda for being investigated.
Q - will there ever be anyway of stuffing tritium into my FSD in my ship for extended jump range, or worm holes in the game to aid travelling from sector to sector?
(this will help travelling between the fantastic stellar phenomenon in the game)
ps- thanks for this thread idea, its fantastic.

Whilst not really a game question, any advice for people looking into Community Management positions?
And a game question to balance things out:
Will player minor factions like say, the Fuel Rats or my own Whitetip Operations, be represented in some way in Odyssey through the NPCs? There was a piece of concept art that showed something similar to my faction's logo on a bunch of people working in a security surface base and was curious if that means something or if it's just a 'concept artist only' thing?

Firstly, I appreciate the changes in how CMs interact with the community with the arrival of new people in the CM team
Q: Are there plans to introduce the AX Conflict Zones back into the game? If not in form of incursions then at least one or two permanent ones in Pleiades or somewhere?
Surely you can understand the frustrations of AX Community which had their best and most fun piece of content go missing more than a year ago I understand that we might have to wait for new content for Odyssey but it feels as if we are losing content and not even staying at the same level as before.
