ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement

[JesusRocks1988]

Now, I'm going to speculate optimistically here.

So, in order to get out of our ships, we'll need to go through them, right? So that means walking through the ships as well.
UNLESS it's done like how SRV and SLF boarding is done - fade to black cutscene (which would be totally lame)

If social hubs... which means buildings... does that include starports? Are they so far removed?

So I'm hoping this includes both walking around ships and ports. Would love to walk around the Squirrel's Nest

 

[Lightspeed]

It's One Giant Leap for sure ! Well done for the reveal.

 

[Jozu]

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I hope there's some plans to flesh out current content as well.

 

[Crimson Kaim]

Will you finally fix the bugs and do a balance pass though?

 

[CMDR Jaimes]

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

I know! Gonna have to make sure a new gaming laptop gets on my list to Santa! lol

 

[Swiiiifty]

cool and good

 

[cheesenbiscuits]

It's just sounding better and better

 

[Tharrn]

I hope there'll also be non-combat gameplay. Exploration and surveying for those new mats needed to engineer the new gear for example

 

[Eagle131]

YES YES YES YES YESY YEYS YESYEYSE SEY YE

Thanks guys for sharing the details! On board the hype train and very excited to see what the future of Elite holds!

 

[Mardante]

All I want to know now.. will I get it as default as a Lifetime Pass holder?

 

[Manamana]

I can only say YES!!!!!!

 

[CMDR Jaimes]

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?

Looks like it will be for barren / colony worlds. Might have outposts you can walk around the outside at least. Really, really hoping for in-ship movement.

 

[Hydrino]

Nice job Frontier.
Looking forward to this.
Hopefully you've scoured the suggestions forum for lots of "pre-feedback" and focus on gameplay and emergent gameplay.
Dev Diaries like for original release and some sneak peak concept art would really ramp up the hype.
Ready for Beta!

 

[PKSeven]

Sure invest time in doing a First Person Shooter in a space game instead of fixing gently caressing space mechanics like absolutely unfunny scanning and exploration.
What a stupid move

Since when is exploration supposed to be funny?

 

[CMDR Yates]

Sad that it doesn't seem to include ship or station interiors.
But still,the beginning of an interesting sphere of content

They haven't said it won't, have they?

I mean, I wouldn't get my hopes up that it WILL contain that, haha!, but there's no strong reason to exclude it, at this stage.

They did they they will have more to reveal in the coming months. The video does hint at more content than is explicitly shown (the hidden underground base?). They surely have some more stuff to reveal if they're stringing reveals out from here to early-2021.

Plus, most of the ships already have semi-complete interiors.

 

[CMDR Jaimes]

Cool stuff!

Looking forward to seeing everyone running around 2x the speed of NPCs and dancing on tables.



Seriously, tho, it's been a long time coming and is most welcome.

If they have dance emotes, might just die a little.. lol

 

[Exeider]

Will you finally fix the bugs and do a balance pass though?

No.

 

[Robert Maynard]

All I want to know now.. will I get it as default as a Lifetime Pass holder?

The Steam page calls it a DLC - and Will has previously posted stating that LEP holders will get Next Era as part of their pass:

The Next Era

As mentioned in our previous post, this new era will be paid for content and all lifetime expansion pass owners will have this included in their pass.

 

[SUPRARZ]

Space legs yayyy...that horizon is blue ...atmospheres confirmed?

 

[ZiggyGG]

My hands are shaking...

 

[CMDR Mayhem]

I reckon that pad the annie lands on is a pre-fab built structure. ie. Base building
