Combat Triangle- Odyssey

There might be some more promising information in another thread here which refers to a dev Q&A session on the stream, where they go into more detail about some of the possibilities I believe... haven’t watched it myself so apologies that I can be more helpful.

They SPOKE about the combat triangle (On foot, SRV, and ship)

But they showed near nothing of it. Why... it's the most interesting element of it for sure, so why not show how that works?

My guess is, because it doesn't really.

Hope I am wrong!

You should watch the Christmas stream. Lots more details in there when one of the devs reveals loads of pretty cool sounding stuff.

My question remains unanswered since the Odyssey's announcement:

What will happen if i double 4A PA shot a walking CMDR?

Good question, but I'm more concerned about the distance required for 3 medium rails on a Challenger to micro-gimbal enough for a triple shot to a player's chest.

Yes, there was quite a bit of information on the Christmas stream and on the interview there. It was very good, even without much gameplay footage.

I, along with a number of other people distinctly heard him say “rain” when describing the differences in the suits..

Hey in the current game we have a combat . . . line? Barbell? With the totally awesome and all-caps TACTICAL gameplay involving ships+SRVs. SRVs stage ground assaults while ships provide air support. This is already in the game. They talked it up in the run up to Horizons, and even put together a teaser trailer with an SRV careening around under heavy fire while ships flew low overhead - it looked super exciting. And, since it is technically possible for a group of players to get together and fly ships+SRVs together in a coordinated choreographed scene like that, it means they were in no way lying or misrepresenting the game. Combat triangle is gonna be like that.

As there hasn't been any info on this (I think), I would hazard a guess that they may do something similar to what happens when you approach your ship in an SRV i.e. the turret retracts. So maybe if we get within X Km's of an outpost, our ship hardpoints retract. This is on the assumption there would be absolutely no reason to deploy ship weapons - so no skimmers or stuff like that to shoot at.

Outside of that, I don't see how they can avoid some lame enterprising CMDRs from just hanging out in their ships with their dumbfire missles turning everyone into giblets. Would be cool though - do a fly-by and drop a load of mines :D

Of course, if you are just wandering around a random planet and a CMDR drops out of glide intent on mischief, then all bets are off perhaps?
