walk inside ships, stations, other vehicles
That's just all guess work. You have no idea what's coming, so maybe we should wait for the Dev diaries before jumping to conclusions."Then I suggest you read the Odyssey announcement as its obviously more then that, there are no maybes or a lack of communication. As to gameplay on your own ship I see very little gameplay involved." Again, this announces what Odyssey will entail...not what will release on the day, We have seen these "announcements" before then on release its flat and not what it was made out to be, have you been shown anything yet? Then not confirmed yet as stated, Concept art doesnt count, we have been shown concept art for years that never made it in the game yet was advertised as coming soon or in the next package etc...
"I'm not saying I don't want ship interiors, I just see other things that are far more important to develop. And to me that's what they are doing from what I've seen and read so far." But you havnt stated what you deem "more" important, are you saying fps combat clipping and everything else iv stated isnt important for such an update? we havnt been show any layouts of any close proximity places yet so until then my argument still stands, Personally the way i think its going to be is a walking srv with guns if someone else lands near you, and due to peer to peer issue that has plagued elite since launch I can see this go south
fps set combat will be exactly what Arena was most likely (I hope not) and left eventually abandoned (I hope not), I cant see the social hubs either being anymore than another station with a panel and maybe a cut scene of your Commander walking in...until we get more than concept art.
I have read the announcement yes....its very vague and can be interpreted in many ways and some of which make hype (I hope the hype is real) however judging from every update so far it has either been a letdown, grindfest, ignored and featureless and pretty much lackluster to what their "Announcements" said it would be.
So until we get actual footage in game, more actual live feed of the update/package the Jury is out but from 8 years of my own experience I wont bite my tongue for it.
Example from announcement "
Assemble Your Crew
Social hubs spread throughout the galaxy give Commanders the ideal place to plan their next move. Form alliances, procure services, and even find expert support in highly coveted Engineers. These public outposts also help you acquire and upgrade weapons and gear to perfect your playing style.
Nothing there states social hubs will be anything more than a new style of panel like the new fleet carrier panel, all i see is you walk into outpost (or drive whatever) and it will be like docking in a station, a quick cutscene of your character entering the door seeing inside then the panel comeons up, maybe a section for chatting bigger than the comms box but limited to whos inside...i cant see it being anything else until its shown by Fdev...
Not sure they got the colors right in the skies, based on the composition of the atmosphere. Correct me if I'm wrong but a 100% Ammonia atmosphere, however thin, would not be blue like a nitrogen rich atmosphere (such as earth).
We have no idea what they are currently working on now. Many of the team will likely have done most or all of their work for Odyssey already and will have started on the next project.But they didn't confirmed a second roll after the Odyssey release.
They only said "not at launch" and that it's not currently in work which actually means nothing. The fact that those missing features will be released one year later is purely forum speculation. They could also come 5 years later or not coming at all as well.
This is FDEV communication at its best.
Is the atmosphere color correct?
Difficult to know until we actually visit one ourselves.Is the atmosphere color correct?

Yes, we don't know what's coming after Odyssey, so maybe we should wait until we do.
They have already stated that this expansion isn't the end. This expansion has layed down a framework for them to build on in future expansions/updates.
Possibly. We will have to wait and see.To be fair though, when they announced Horizons, they also didn't advertise anything else that was in the Horizons Season until much, much closer to release. The initial selling point was solely the ability to land on non-atmospheric planets. I suspect we're seeing the same thing here. Push the major selling point, then give a full list of features for the year to come after that.
I think you have it backwards in terms of what is more immersive.perhaps you've also ruined S_x by watching too much PRON
Doesn't David look young there? Ah! That's because it's from 8 years ago.I will drop this one here as a reminder (correct time stamp included):

I'm hoping I can buy Zimmer frames with ARX to better reflect my potential locomotive experienceProgenitor cells.
Just saying. When EDO comes out it will be youthful tight faces and lush hair once again.
What makes people think that this is just a one-off DLC?!?! The last paid update-Horizons-came with a full year's worth of additional content beyond the non-atmospheric planetary landings. The notion that they'll chuck Odyssey out the door, then leave it at that, is totally laughable. Again I feel like this is just rampantly negative posters trying to twist the narrative to suit their negative outlook.
Lets face it, from a marketing perspective the ability to walk on planets with thin atmospheres is going to move many more units than being able to walk around your ship.
The reports of no next gen version is extremely troubling. Shows a lack of commitment to the platform.
They said that when they make a next gen version, they want to make it special. To me that implies commitment,

That is fair enough and I am not talking about legal contracts etc clearly FD are covered however given how ED was KSed and the features used to tempt KSers to pay far more than the cost of the game just to support the vision, I personally think it is just respectful to keep those backers in the loop about features cut, why they were cut and what to expect going forward.Yea, see the thing about plans is that they are subject to change. Some people here look at this stuff and act like its a binding contract.
Yes and that's a BIG change... As I already said somewhere else: "It's a giant leap" in the wrong direction.Yea, see the thing about plans is that they are subject to change. Some people here look at this stuff and act like its a binding contract.
I agree.Frontier really needs to reevaluate not being able to walk around on ships with the initial Odyssey release as this was why everyone looked forward to space legs in the first place in addition to walking around on planets. Also this means no ship boarding on disabled ships,lets hope that this is in the works with walking around on ships as well. Hope your listening Frontier.
I would be more careful with statements such as this. It should be obvious that this is not the case for everyone. A large number of people perhaps, it is debatable if it is a majority of people.as this was why everyone looked forward to space legs in the first place
