Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Q&A - Interface and NPCs
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
Well unless they're bullet sponges like Division 2 im sure you'll cope even if they are cheating.
Just for once surely the AI abilities should match the players.
The magically repairing npc in space is totally lame for example.
Or any Powerplay update
I'd be happy enough if they fix the contest bug that the Feds have been so keen on exploiting for the past months.
@Paul_Crowther : I have a question about controls on Odyssey. How will on-foot work with HOTAS controllers?
Will I need to revert to keyboard and mouse when on foot?

OMNIPOL, like it

Awesome stuff! o7
NPC troop deployment from dropships sounds incredible.

But you actually can turn off the cockpit HUD already...
That is not at all an answer to the question. The question is not which factors influence what kind of NPCs you may find at a base, but whether the NPCs there have some permanence between instance transition, game modes (open/private/solo) or simple relogging.
So this will be the ground combat equivalent of NPCs spamming shield cells and chaff forever? Just great.
Again missing the point of the question. Of course NPC won't be able to shoot you through walls and obstacles, the question is whether line of sight affects their perception, see how games like Deus Ex or Cyberpunk handle stealth with regards to NPCs seeing or hearing you.

OMNIPOL... sounds wonderfully repressive!
While the rozzers are out dispensing laser justice, I’m going to sneak out to their dropship and re-arrange the letters to say “LOIN MOP” or “LIMN POO”
Not sure if this is the right place to put my question but;
Will the large planetary ports have NPCs and SRVs going about their business in the streets and around the docks? Would be cool to leave the landing pad and walk around the streets, maybe go into some buildings that are in the place.

To be honest seeing something as meager as a "first footfall tag" being named as "one of 2 big ones" for explorers doesn't really paint a bright picture of what Odyssey brings to exploration... Let's hope the second "big one", the plant POIs, are at least much more abundant and varied than the handful of Bio POIs we currently have.

I second these requests for clarification. A lot of people treat the current space NPCs like paper targets, because they have absolutely no permanence. Why should we care about NPCs if they are just set dressing, even now?
- "Serve the public trust"
- "Protect the innocent"
- "Uphold the law"
- "Any attempt at positivity results in shutdown"
NEVER!
You have.....ten seconds.....to remove your skepticism....
Yeah. I really hope that abandoned settlements will be one of good and interesting things. With varied "abandoned look", atmosphere and some loot to find.
