I hope the team is doing working ship interiors and not forcing you to exit in a buggy or through teleportation.

Keyboard only. It will work like 'Track And Field' on the Commodore 64 et. al. For those that weren't around then, locomotion was enabled by left and right finger tapping for each leg.

Oh Atari.....what did you do.....

 

[Riverside]

Looking forward to getting Odyssey out of the way so we can find out what the next DLC will be, and when it's likely to arrive.

I played Elite on the BBC using something that looked very similar to that, it was digital. Probably still got it somewhere

Or madly thrashing A Kempston.

 

[Comet]

Don´t know if anyone mentioned it but there is a big VR push again because of our current situation and the release of the Oculus Quest 2 that is really selling a lot.
VRt tech has progressed quite a bit and we can now play on PC without any cables.

Mentioning this as I understand Odyssey won´t support VR fully at launch. Given a lot of people are jumping into VR I imagine Frontier might have seen a little spike in sales on par with Quest 2 release.
Frontier you might want to give VR some attention again as that is going to not only bring back players but bring you new ones.

It's time to disembark, Commander.

We are delighted to share with you a glimpse of the Next Era - Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.

Explore distant worlds on foot, expand the frontier of known space and leave your mark on the galaxy as you become the first person in history to explore lands untouched since time began.

So you've disembarked, you're standing for the first time on an unexplored planet. What can you do next? Here's an overview of what you can look forward to in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.


One Giant Leap

See the galaxy like never before. Touch down on breathtaking planets powered by stunning new tech, soak in suns rising over unforgettable vistas, discover outposts and settlements, and explore with unrestricted freedom.


Forge Your Own Path

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.


Assemble Your Crew

Social hubs spread throughout the galaxy give Commanders the ideal place to plan their next move. Form alliances, procure services, and even find expert support in highly coveted Engineers. These public outposts also help you acquire and upgrade weapons and gear to perfect your playing style.


The Sphere of Combat

Experience intense first-person combat, kit out your character with an array of weapons and gear, and coordinate with teammates to master a multi-layered, deep, tactical environment where Commanders, SRVs and Starships converge.

From now until launch, we'll be sharing more information, developer diaries and trailers as we get ready to embark on this exciting new adventure!

So next Dev Diary this week?

Thursday they're doing something else and for Friday I don't think so. After it's the weekend

 

[ADM_Tetanus]

now that walking around on planets is a plausible thing, how about walking around stations where our ship is docked? maybe a physical job board/shipyard etc.

I'd love to have a lounge on our carriers or an observation deck.

 

[Axacuatl]

That's why you had one of these...

...which after extensive use gave me a flesh wound in the middle of the palm of my hand. All skin had been rubbed away...

In the worst case, you may be able to see your ship in this kind of place.

When nobody would believe you that the friction burns on your hand came from playing computer games...

Of course by placing this image I did not think about the ship that flies, but about the landing pads.
