Neither what I was going for nor what I understand as the scope of this thread here. This is an Odyssey Q&A with plenty of Q but barely any A. Idk, I dont find that shtick of "teasing out half-truths and conspiracies from devs" entertaining, endearing or good customer practice at all. Gives me a distinct Star Citizen vibe and that's territory I would rather not tread on ever again. Why let people ask questions when you are not going to answer them anyway, especially in threads SPECIFICALLY MADE to answer community questions? Idk, maybe i'm just too boring to get that charade, give it straight or shut the f*ck up.
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Questions and Answers

There are 28 A's in the opening post alone. Have you posted a question? What was it?
But are these A's true A's? That's debatable if we're benevolent. I for one find the complete lack of depth to the answers disheartening, and the large ammount of "We can not talk/have no plans" to be depressing. Many questions are things that the community seems to want, by and large for a long time now, yet there are "no plans". Idk, but that's kinda sad if you think about it, that tells me that the community wishes are not heard in that way. You dont need to go overboard in the "Lets add every suggestion" kind of Store Citizen way, actually you should never do that but that's another topic entirely, but if your community keeps asking for the same things for a while now, shouldnt you at least start to make vague plans? maybe release these plans to the community, let them judge, and then you tweak according to feedback?
Idk, I keep hoping that there's more coming, but I dont see it?
Sure but if you go back to the problem of promising something you don't deliver, "I can't talk about that it" is a dead giveaway, right? As good as confirming it's being worked on.
Meanwhile, denying all knowledge of spacelegs, something the community has 'not been listened to' about for years, turns out FD were developing in the back room all along! That's not really refusing to listen to the community .. so much as managing expectations, respecting commercial interests that pay the piper and when it comes to it a nice surprise.
So, sorry you feel the way you do but promise it's not personal. And it is unlikely to change anyway so - as community - we just have to trust that player reactions INEVITABLY impact devs (the customer is always right) but also that it's Frontier's game, they're the ones having to develop, network and design it and it pays their wages, not ours.

Frontier don't have an official discord.
If anybody can help I would appreciate it. I am using the cobra in alpha yesterday it started not letting plot a course I can only jump one very nearby system and that's about it. I don't think I changed anything but could have because of the new interface. Sent Frontier a report . Stuff like this makes me want to scream.
Never Mind it's fixed.

Even with my unadulterated mirror-reflective retroactive corrosive sidewinder zingers I agree but, with one caveat...if they would produce more we'd buy more!?
As far as development house we're too often banging on pipes for a drop of water....speaking of water where is it?
I've had a couple of questions also.
First, I found out on the stream today that the Alpha will import the ship from the main game. And, knowing how there are 2 new ranks coming up to grind, will any effort there in the Alpha get imported back to the main game upon release, or will that result in redundant grind?
Also I saw quite a few NPCs with different outfits...including one or two neat military uniforms I really liked. Are players going to be able to get their hands on some nice clothes like that?

1) Will there be drug/alcohol consumables with gameplay effects?
2) Will there be SRV ship kits for my Mad Max pvp squishy run downs?
3) Can we get engineering mats on foot related to ships?
4) If I deploy an NPC slf near a ground-based conflict (I will remain on my ship), will they be able to target pedestrian combatants?

we looked at average Odyssey performance on launch and determined that was a lie.
Seriously, there are people with 1080 Ti's and 2080S cards who can't stay over 60fps consistently even at 1080p. Everything they've told us about expected performance is literally a lie.
My biggest questions right now are:
What's up with Bloom, or lack thereof? (Forget why they removed it for the Alpha, but shouldn't it be back?)
What's up with the lack of detailed information regarding Stored Ships and contents on them? (Manage Ships doesn't show any information regarding modules on said ship, only that it has X amount of Engineered Modules, X amount of Guardian Modules or SLF capabilities with a little icon)
What's up with lack of detailed information regarding Stored Modules and Engineering on them? I can see the level and type of engineering on the Modules equipped on my ship, but not the Modules in my storage. Just a symbol showing they are engineered and the stats (max range, thermal resistance etc)...
Thank Lord that they didn't bring the new UI over to Horizons. I still have lots of module sorting to do and I guess Spreadsheets matter more now than ever.
Apologies if these topics have already come up multiple times before, I didn't spend much time in the 4th Phase of the Alpha other than screenshotting Ship texture differences and checking out the UI on the surface.

I'm running with a 1050 and to be honest, it's not been that bad.
Thanks for the blatant lie
