Confusing System Map

[torloisk]

I really try hard to find aspects in Odyssey that work out of the box and are likable. I currently don't fancy FPS, I'm more interested in exploration. So I'm trying the exobiology thing. Jumped to a randomly selected system and found this:

And got confused. Planet 3 is an Earth-like world and has the Odyssey halo. So it should be landable and walkable? No, it's not. Planet 1 and 2 have the Horizons halo and have Odyssey conflict zones. Though, no Odyssey halo, but they are landable and walkable. I DSSed planet 2 to find exobiology, though, the DSS does not give me the filter option.

I've got 2000 hours in this game and may be a slow learner, but I managed to learn (and somewhat understand) Horizons. Odyssey confuses me. I wonder how new players shall get into this game when even somewhat experienced players are struggling.

So the Halo just represents an atmosphere. The arc shows it's landable.

So what you're looking for is the halo and an arc.

Good hunting!

Thanks, now I looked for planets with the halo (EDO) and the arc (EDH). It took me some time to find one. Are they so rare?

I DSSed planet 5 and expected to get the filter options for resources. Though, they're not there:

My key bindings for the DSS filters are set. Which took me also some time to figure out.

EDO is not only bug-ridden and an UI/UX nightmare. FD also leaves the player in the dark (literally!).

Not all of them have life. I'm in Luyten 145-141 right now, and there is defiantly life here if you want to pop over and try somewhere you can guarantee results.

Edit: took me ages to find life when they ported my CMDR over in the Alpha!

Thanks, I check that out later. I got so frustated that I quit ED.

Just visiting Luyten 145-141, there is no planet with an atmosphere. I FSSed the planets.

I do apologise. According to my flight log over at EDSM I was in LFT 78, I don't know if that was human error or the new Copy System Name being janky.

These landable atmospheric worlds all have life one them!
