Elite Dangerous: Horizons & Odyssey Update 16/12/2021 Notes

ED is just a shoot game now. Nothing about bgs, medical gameplay, exploration, mining.... No new ships... to bad. I must play SC to get all this pleasure
 
ED is just a shoot game now.
Nah - they've broken friend / foe targeting
Nothing about bgs
that's working fine. There isn't one in SC, so sad.
medical gameplay,
that's fine - more in SC I guess if you enjoy limping around
exploration,
... no exploration in SC ... so sad, nearly 1 system in 7 years :(
mining....
Present in both games (y)
No new ships... to bad. I must play SC to get all this pleasure
You should totally go play SC for a while - I head you should be buying the Cutlass Steel, that's the new one this week (y)
 
How come the first replies are always stacked with shoe polish and compliments of hard work and thanks when Fdev are only fixing things they shouldn't even be breaking over and over in the first place? 🙄

Hard work would be NOT releasing broken updates.
thats what i´am questioning a long time, must be a cultural thing. why is it so difficult to confirm that there were made mistakes and always keep the good vibrations up even if the boat is sinking ? but thats probably my personal problem, i´am the "glass is half emptry" kind of person. i had expected in yesterdays livestream at least some references why elite is such a bad state now, and probably an excuse from the cm´s. but what i have seen are always the same phrases "thanks to the team for their hard work .........". I think its not related to christmas, i have observed it long time now, must be rule no.1 in the managment handbook.

When I've had enough of EDO frustration, that's the game I also turn to.
 
I'm far away from my FC. The big question is: Are the fire groups gone from all my ships and SRVs?

PS: I'm in EDO.

yes they are gone - so the bigger question is will fdev confirm we need to remap or will they indicate the fire groups should be back.
At the moment they refuse to say anything either way, they just keep saying its fixed without referring to the lost fire groups.
 
Hey I want to direct your attention to an issue with multi xeno controller.

It repairs 70 hull, all standard repair controllers size 3 repair 180, size 5 repair 310.
Simply put, it's just not enough. I know they were not supposed to be better than te normal ones. But in current form xeno multi limpet controller is just useless.
I think you developers should take a look at what are the current meta builds for thargoid combat and you will see that repair controllers are of size 5.

In combat with the interceptors players get rid of caustic with overheating and decontamination limpet is used very very rarely.
In my opinion all limpet controllers should be reworked to be modular and scalable.
I am fine with these being as limited as this, IF the weight was reduced by another 70% (e.g. 5t) and the universal one was available to size 5/6 slots and were only say 20t.

The whole intent was (or should have been) to give players the ability to engage (in a deliberately limited way) to more areas of existing gameplay to dabble into these gaming loops to see if they would like specialise in them as a 'career' and so outfit with the dedicated more efficient modules. The fact that the multi/uni controllers are a lot less efficient is not the problem, its that they are weighted and sized to oblivion, locking the very people out they should be aimed at. Newish players, explorers (i.e. without size 7 damn slots!), generalists, dabblers.
I'd rather just have an additional 6-8 size 1 slots and equip size 1 modules instead of these.

Class 3 decontamination limpet repairs 70 hull. So the new anti xeno is same but heavier ;)

Is the game crashing at the 4th pillar activation at guardian module site a known issue?
Cuz it happened to me 4 times last night.
 
Multi mining Limpets get expired after some time.
Is this normal? As i see their properties they say INFINITE LIFE TIME
An if i mine a asteroid and have 4 collector limpets how i reduce them to 3 so i have 1 limpet to prospect?
 
I found another strange thing:
Did some missions Robigo Mines <> Sirius Atmospherics and got around 100M credits.
Saw the ammount rising in Robigo Mines Station Display but the ammount displayed in the righthand panel (on the tab, where you can see your Elite rankings) stood the same even after approx. 1h gameplay.

It only got updated, when I logged out of game completely (desktop). Even logging to main menu or switching ships didn't force an update of the displayed credits.

Edit: Oh, and it really would be nice to see the actual % values of your ranking on the first tab in the righthand panel, again...

I'm not sure but didn't they change it so that passenger trips no longer count towards trade rank? I may be wrong on that but I thought it was a recent change.

Also yes for the love of goodness show us our percentages again!
