ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement

[CptArcher]

The developers at Frontier are great! I think this game is going to EXPLODE! Definitely one of the most underrated games of our time!

 

[Slange Lands]

Amazing.
Now just a little request please.

We have had instancing issues. Please make sure that when we wing up in the New Era that we all arrive on the same planet.



Frontier has made a lot of people really really happy.
Thank you so much and take care.
xoxo

I feel a bit sorry that this wasn't the way you intended to announce the expansion, however thank you for officially confirming it. It looks good!

 

[JesusRocks1988]

I am very glad that you guys saw the sense to reupload and make the announcement, because that would have been really awkward otherwise.

Very excited for this, and to hear more about it.

 

[INaeem]

Live long and Frontier. Live long and Elite! The accidental public upload was entirely FaulTj.

 

[MarkyH]

In open?

Yep, extra content for Griefers and Gankers, expect as you little squad crew of 3 leaves your ship or multicrew SRV , that a Griefer mows you all down with multicannons from 200m above, safely in their Krait mk2.

 

[dj_wylie]

Awesome, looking really good. i eagerly await more information!

 

[CMDR Yates]

AMAZING!

This bit is going to be the make-or-break through....

Take on a wide variety of contracts and play your way, from diplomacy and commerce to lethal stealth and all-out combat. Diverse settings, objectives, and NPCs offer endless mission variety and a near infinite amount of content to enjoy.

The new environments and activities are amazing, but I desperately hope the missions and content involving these new mechanics stack up.

 

[Allikat]

Will we be able to walk around INSIDE our ships? FDev please?

 

[VR StarLightPL]

That's great, thanks!

 

[Alien]

Thank you Frontier. Accidental or not, I applaud you for not staying silent.

 

[CMDR Jaimes]

Until they add something like Engineering that forces you to buy it or not be able to compete.

We have been down this road before.

I see your point... but... still get to play it your way. Just like Horizons, if you don't want to land on planets, don't. I spent over half of Horizons out exploring the black. Never set foot in my SRV.. lol

 

[Sir.Tj]

Thank Gawd, I can stop closing and deleting threads now.

 

[Crank Larson]

Looks like there's been some nice planet rework done there too.

 

[Turjan]

Thanks Tim - you've just made summer even more shiny and happy!

 

[Eisen]

Looking awesome. Just hope that we will also be able to walk around in our ships and in stations.

Space legs are okay. FPS combat, well, alright. I hope it's not mandatory.

BUT! Atmospheric landings!!! Yay!

 

[LoyalOrange503]

so you guys where like 'ooh well, we better officially anounce it', right? Well, best mistake of 2020

 

[Misaniovent]

We're getting atmospheric flight as part of this? It sounds like this will be for uninhabited worlds only — no ELWs or major population centers?

 

[krusty23]

Well bless my cotton socks!

I Guess it means MORE SRVs?
