Elite Dangerous: Odyssey | The Road To Odyssey Part 1 - One Giant Leap
- Thread starter Stephen Benedetti
- Start date
Got to admit I felt a bit underwhelmed tonight. I was hoping for a bit more from the stream - I know it is early days but Commanders have asked for walking around ships and stations not a slower two legged version of the SRV! Yes the planets look brilliant but I remember being promised that at Lavecon a couple of years ago so that is not news.
I think FDev have missed a great opportunity to really hype it up tonight. Sorry just my opinion

Polygon article mentions that there will not be any walking inside ships.
"Developers are also considering allowing them to walk around inside starships, exploring the vessels they’ve owned for years for the first time. The feature won’t be available at launch when Elite Dangerous: Odyssey comes to PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One sometime in early 2021."

They like to keep the science real. Your mm thick remlock suit wouldn't be able to deal with very hostile environments so ammonia worlds are probably not going to happen. WW could have tenuous atmospheres so possibly but EL would by definition have a denser atmosphere so maybe not.
"One Giant Leap" should be renamed to "One Giant Fade To Black"
It's only the first video in a series, they can't reveal all the good stuff in the first video alone.
I don't think it's a gun, I reckon it's the C5 organic sampler fully engineered to G5 overcharged with the oversized experimental.What is this....??? Do we really need to destroy every planet that we explore? I mean this thing is huge... Isn't it maybe out of scale?

Just saw the Dev Diary video, and a lot of the video is about walking around on planets, which is cool and all...but personally, I'd much rather walk around stations or my own ships! I'd be much more eager to throw money at something that lets me tour my Cobra or (future) Corvette.
By the way, I'll be looking forward to the 5 days that all the new additions are still mysterious, before the community has unveiled literally everything new that Odyssey has to offer.

So really stupid question incoming...

Could it be a complete coincidence that the first of the dev diaries was called The Road to Odyssey Part 1 : One Giant Leap ?

Well if you have to handle tools with frozen fingers inside rigid gloves or be able to handle it in zero or very low G, large tools are an advantage. Also, it should be pretty hard to lose that.

I'm really holding my breath on this one. Too often now I've given FD the benefit of the doubt and far too often I've been let down.
DD1 basically told us what we already knew and could be gleaned from info about Odyssey that was already public. I'm REALLY hoping there's more to this, but the basics seems to be just this. Future dev diary titles are about stuff you can do with this new tech, but are far as BIG CONTENT CHANGES go, it's basically this.
Walking on planets.
Barren planets that don't have black skies.
Planetary Tech that was originally promised from beyond.
No non-barren planets.
Vegetation probably all the same and spread out in various sites like now (our galaxy has a wierd uniform biome it seems).
No walking in spaceships or space stations, that'd be too hard.
I hope future dev diaries prove me wrong, but I doubt it. I did expect more from this other than the leaked content so far, but...
We'll see.

LOL, was thinking the same cmdr!I already am looking for the "Mute Breathing" option. Just thinking about it is enough to make me want to turn it off
There you are then, "don't listen to the community" is sage advice .. and probably the secret to a happy life!
I think the thing about walking around stations is fair enough but set models are going to be a walk in the park compared to generating both the stage and the actors. It's as well to get used to the idea I think that ED has never put the cart before the horse and there's a definite computational strategy behind the ordering of the world building. Backdrop v game is always a bit of a dance.
I agree, and hope after about two minutes of muted breathing your avatar falls over and blacks outI already am looking for the "Mute Breathing" option. Just thinking about it is enough to make me want to turn it off
Yeah, where ARE all the girls?! Asking as my ship is literally named THE "Lonely Bachelor"...
Well at least someone's getting the answers to the questions.Polygon article mentions that there will not be any walking inside ships.
