Elite Dangerous: Odyssey | The Road To Odyssey Part 2 - Forging Your Path

@Stephen Benedetti can you please clarify something. Does the Apex Interstellar service now mean that it is viable to play the game, whilst theoretically never flying our own ship, yet still being able to travel between systems by way of taxi flights?
Good question for the Thursday thread.
I would say so. DB talked about this in the past as the new player intro to the game being on-foot.

Also hopefully mitigates the rather dumb decision IMHO of not allowing "instant" ship transfer. I know it's been beat to death but this is a game, and even going to the community goal site this past weekend I only saw 2 other player controlled ships. I normally never see any. All the arguments against it are weak and ignore the way the game is architected and cross platform and only extend the time it takes to get to the fun bits. So silly.
 
Will be nice to see the environment really come to life, with life, at least in the bubble (mostly)!
I was thinking it is the outskirts of the bubble that will come to life, this was only (!) stations and small settlements.
It's pretty obvious that the cities on heavily populated worlds might be a while yet, (they were never supposed to be part of Odyssey) and the further out you go the less small settlements you find, so the sweet spot is probably around the bubble.
 
I'm actually very impressed with this, almost.....almost willing to forgive the lack of Powerplay updates.

Questions:

What happens when you die? Do you reanimate at the last place you docked at in a med bay?

How does your notoriety dictate how you move? Can you book transport regardless (and be a wanted passenger of sorts) or are you barred?

Does Powerplay have on foot stuff? Will Powerplay contacts be in a booth?

Is there a limit as to what you can carry and steal?
 
This is the questions thread according to OP.
:oops:

So question: Glad to hear the BGS affecting the characters in settlements at least. Will this be strengthened to really make it apparent whose territory we are in/on across the game including space stations? Where each minor faction as well as the major factions and powers represented more visibly in the game with banners, colors, adverts and the like. Some architectural / look changes would be great as well, so are the BGS states like famine, war, etc. going to similarly be reflected when walking around on foot? Right now it does seem a bit subtle except for the Powers billboards on major settlements and I would love to see it more clearly represented.
 


Greetings Commanders,



The first dev diary gave us a look into light atmospheres and breaking new ground with exploration on foot for the first time in Elite Dangerous Odyssey (if you missed it you can catch it here). The second dev diary, 'Forging Your Path' will show how Odyssey's approach to missions, station interiors, spacesuits, and give a taste of how commanders can interact with a vast range of new characters on foot.




On Thursday 1 October we'll bring you an in-depth look into the second dev diary with a Discovery Scanner livestream at 18:00 (UTC) on the Elite Dangerous Twitch channel. Let us know your questions about the dev diary in this thread!


Stay tuned for future episodes and updates on Elite Dangerous: Odyssey on our social channels.

Pls pls pls, INCREASE rewards from missions.
Currently they are an injure for players who are triple elite and paid like if they were nothing! Add a bonus regarding the ranks, and not around 100k, but at least 3M for a triple elite.
The fact that a lot of players exploits, store a massive amount of credits is because they know you will AGAIN nerf the income maybe too high but the standard ones are ridiculously WEEEAAAKK.
If missions payouts increase in a maner it retreive DECENT amount of money regarding the time passed on it, then you will see miners players decrease because for the moment it's the ONLY way to get DECENT payout.
Maybe you won't read this, but at least i tried AGAIN to maybe open your eyes of what your game became.
I don't want to earn like 100M in hours, but i DEAR YOU to earn it with missions without being bored.
