will there be caves in odyssey?
No
will there be caves in odyssey?
Will powerplay see any changes in Odyssey?
Powerplay will be discussed at a later date
Does that mean it will be discussed before or after Odyssey release?
An earlier AMA said it was on 'long term plans' which in Powerplay terms is a shoulder shrug, but that was for minor tweaks (which would be at a guess altering reward payouts and weekly allowances level in scope) and not actually adding anything new. So I guess in a few months we'll see reward tweaks and then.........see you in another five years?
I just hope FD don't abandon features in Odyssey in the same way.
Suits will have various functions player will be able to unlock and upgrade them with. Night vision is one of those functions.
On planets, gravity affects how high you can jump and particularly how effective your jump pack is – on Low-G planets you can get quite a lot of distance! Grenades also follow trajectories based on gravity which creates some interesting gameplay!
Thanks!We’re revamping the lighting for the entire game!
There is a lot of new code and systems being implemented/refreshed for Odyssey.
The original camera suite will be available in Odyssey. We are also in the process of adding the vanity cam for the on foot character. We are very excited to see what our community come up with at launch.
However, players will be able to deploy in that Commander’s SRV or SLF with physical multicrew.
Are there to be any significant changes to the camera suite for Odyssey, on-foot or off?

Will we be able to fly other CMDRs' ships in Odyssey? Whether if it's by multicrew or stealing?
No, only the Commander that owns that ship can fly their ship. However, players will be able to deploy in that Commander’s SRV or SLF with physical multicrew.
Will a Horizons user on a SRV be able to meet an Odyssey user on foot on a planet with no atmosphere?
We are looking at this at the moment - more to follow soon.
If a player isn't into FPS combat will that part of the expansion be optional?
Elite Dangerous has always been about allowing you to blaze your own trail, this will continue in Odyssey. Combat will always be optional for Commanders.
Boooo, let us float frontier!For outposts, whilst we’re in Zero-G, we use magnetised boots to keep the player on the floor.
I think it's safe to say that going on past performance, Odyssey will probably take 3 to 6 months to 'Bed In' and resolve major issues and then they'll start looking at other things and I think C&P will be the priority based on the community of the forums, So I'm not expecting anything powerplay wise for quite some time.So no then in other words. Please don't make those who play it wait two more years.
Oooo... I hope so, it would be brilliant to watch a character get impaled on the spikes of my Raider kits...In regards to question 17. Are you implying it would be advantageous for a commander to buy a ship kit from the ARX store for extra cover/shielding.
I can see the sale of raider ship kits going up 10 fold after odyssey is released.Oooo... I hope so, it would be brilliant to watch a character get impaled on the spikes of my Raider kits...
I asked this at the end of the last AMA, but what do you mean by Physical Multicrew and how is it different from current multicrew? As you have said we cannot walk in ship interiors, I'm not sure how you will differentiate.
We discused this on Last nights Lave Radio. I'd imagine that when we're all together in our ships and SRVs, Odyssey and Standard Players (because everyone is a Horizon player now) will be able to interact. However, I don't see a Horizon player being able to see people on the ground, even on the airless worlds. I would like to be proven wrong about that but it wouldn't be a huge loss if it didn't happen.This seems to infer that currently people who don't own Odyssey won't be able to see people with Odyssey. How does the instancing work?
* dies from cringe *What are the plans for networking in Odyssey? Will it be p2p or will it be server based for FPS gameplay?
The underlying network structure is the same as the rest of ED i.e. p2p so that the experience is seamless for players
