Discovery Scanner - 03.10.2022

[sallymorganmoore]

Greetings Commanders.

We all hope you've had a good weekend and are ready to set course for another week of discovery in the Galaxy.
This week's Discovery Scanner is now live for your attention.

https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-03102022

Another primarily Community focused one for you today, with possibly the most poignant information being a change to our livestream schedule this week.

Hope you all have a great day!

See you in the black o7

Do you know...in last week's comments I remember I owed feedback on what LEP entitlements were.
To confirm:
Both season 1 and season 2 LEPs include a licence for Odyssey.
So LEP holders will see their versioning in the same way that regular Odyssey owners will see it - as Odyssey and Horizons 3.8.

Also THIS is happening right now for me. I'm looking into it but didn't want to delay you all your post in order to fix the title image first o7
ALSO ignore the wrong date, that screenshot was before I fixed it and had coffee.

Any word on new ships or content as there has been nothing new for years.

Y-years?
We'll keep you posted on the developments around Update 14 content coming in November as we move onward with it o7
It's a little early to do so at the moment BUT we'll certainly share anything we can ahead of release, to set expecations.
Thanks!

Could you please provide any technical or legal reasoning for not giving Odyssey (and LEP) owners access to Horizons 4.0? Or plans to implement cross-instancing for these 2 versions in space?

Seconded.

Hi @sallymorganmoore.

Could you please ask whomever is fronting this week's Frameshift Live to do a short piece on the changes / upgrade to the FSS scanner? I haven't seen anyone figure out what's changed / improved / how to use the new abilities?

Thanks.

I hope you've not forgotten our hunger for anti-aliasing. Good luck to you and the team in getting Update 14 moving smoothly.

set expecations.

Expectations and vacations?

Is this about Paul who is currently holidaying at Space Butlins?

Maybe there have been no ships for years...but to say that there has been no "content" for years is a bit daft.

And some of us wonder why the devs don't talk to us.

Odyssey owners can access Horizons 4.0 by using either Minimal Elite Dangerous Launcher, or the game executable's command line switches

I appreciate the feedback but it fell short of an actual answer for the problem of command-line access to Horizons 4.0 for Odyssey owners. Can you provide an explicit yes or no answer on whether it is allowed and won't get any Odyssey owner in trouble for using it?

Either new community manager was just born, or being silent about this "feature" is a strategy taken by FDev.

That's probably worthy of pinning on the subreddit or somewhere for visibility....

Great idea! One of community managers can make a new post and pin it on the forum

Hooray for everything. \o/

Or F D can actually address the question instead of ignoring it and leaving it to the community to come up with work-rounds.
