Greetings Commanders,

We've greatly enjoyed talking with you in these threads and look forward to answering more of your questions. For the time being however, we'd like to work on the feedback we've received about the (sometimes frustrating) number of responses given where we've been unable to share information.

Behind the scenes, we're compiling your questions regarding Elite Dangerous: Odyssey and working on answers that we can share. Last Friday, we posted a Q&A on Settlements and later this week we'll see the next one covering a different topic.

We'd like to take a similar approach with AMAs: giving them a specific theme and ensuring we can answer as much as possible by working more closely with the dev team in advance. This will take some time to prepare, so you can expect AMAs to return next month.

Greetings!
We know that we will be able to leave the ship on planets, as well as ground and orbital spaceports and stations, however, it is still not clear whether we can leave the ship in open space, while the ship is not docked to anything?

I believe this will never be a thing as long as interdiction is a thing.

This is not an AMA, but the answer is already pretty clear: no we won't be able to leave the ship in open space, there's no zero g EVAs in Odyssey.
We'll have to wait for the Iliad (which you might argue that happens before, but, you know, relativistic spacetime distortion).

Boo! I've been missing these AMA's for sometime now. And now i can't get any answers on things not Odyssey related?
Questions like:
Is Fdev aware of the Hyford's Cache bug at this point and working on a fix, now that the issue is tier 4 on the issue tracker?
Huge Class ships?
Make Black Holes and Neutrons dangerous ?
Fleet Carrier Route Plotting?
Meta- Alllow Hull reinforcement buff? Etc.

There were a couple of questions and answers in the settlements Q&A that could have been considered duplicates. Do the CM team just decide on the Topic of the questions or are you going to ask for them?

e.g. Fdev: Have you got any questions about suits?
Community : supplies 132 pages of questions, internal debate and sniping.
Fdev publishes answers from the five or so sensible questions in the thread.

Hi Bruce, thanks for the update.

Would it be possible to have a topic around the big questions - i/e fundamental principles of oddysey?
For example:
1. What happens when you die (in oddysey, not IRL ;) )
2. Is travel via taxi instantaneous?
3. What implications oddysey has on those without the update or those that choose to stay in ship rather than on planets.
4. most asked questions from previous Q&A's

Thanks :)

How many raven-like writing desks were travelling to St. Ives?

While the devs are distracted with that one, could you please ask them to share any details about QoL improvements or other perks not specific to legged play being introduced with Odyssey? And if they fall for that and reveal some actual info, quickly follow up with a question about the location and nature of REDACTED.

Cheers.
