Elite: Dangerous Odyssey: Update 11 Notes (FANTASY WISHLIST)
- Thread starter Arsen Cross
- Start date
That's not patch notes, that's a fracking DLC!
Also, where is your list of new bugs? Its not a FD update without new bugs!

wait what? is this what the devs have said is the reason I have to murder hobo may way across the galaxy to get my mods?
like the stun gun is right there, the mechanic is there, why are they counting it as a killlll
blah
- Enabling suit shield should automatically put helmet on (Toggle shield hold could be used to put helmet off).
- Players can now collect one (2+ if upgraded capacity) ship upgrade material from the ground.
- New hazard suit added with ability to carry single commodity container, escape pod or fuel barrel and special abilities (resist fire, extinguish if needed, gate breaking), equipped with only one secondary weapon (no primary) and armor resistant to explosive damage.
The wonderful thing about the internet is how easy it is to research ... stuff.
If you stun an NPC, and can then shoot or blow up their inert form, that's PEGI 18.
Theres a lot of great stuff here and some that doesn't make sense and/or is OP. I'm going to reply to the one's mainly that are problematic, or need further clarification (to me at least), but don't take that as me being negative. If I've skipped over it, at the the very least I like it. Lastly, there's much beyond the scope of Update 11-20, but I'm not bothered by that.
Also, I can't see the justification for being able to take all items carte blanche with no question either.
All in all, like I say, mostly good to great suggestions. o7
How could FDev have missed this opportunity?
Very Fortnite like and while I like these ideas, unless I'm reading it wrong, the implication is that the player would have to be then finished off execution style or left to suffocate, which is a little bit too severe and maybe restrictive in a lot of situations. Maybe a threshold with incapacitation being a stage towards death would be good with, say, a headshot just outright killing but other types of damage after a certain range but before death could be incapacitation with the ability to revive with own health pack, or that used by another player or NPC - adding a medic emote might be good here too.
These two tie well together, maybe keep the charge option as incapacitate with the overcharge being a kill.
This sort of contradicts the abilities of the sensor equipment to detect random debris which would also be not powered on. I think a beacon should persist while in srv or onfoot, losing your ship on a barren featureless planet/moon I don't think will be taken well. Plus respawning in ship parked would negate any searching requirement, just suicide and you're back in your ship.
I would also like to see the ability to use the thrusters for a yaw maneuver. Would add extra control when things have gotten a little too crazy and you have time to fix it to land forwards (or backwards) rather than on the side.
Also some dance moves.
I like it but seems a bit complicated and I don't think some +1s should stack. I also think going to a settlement and taking full control is ok either. Having unrestricted access is ok and having dialog trees with NPCs to initiate some actions given good reason and possibility of denial would be better, it would also open the avenue for bribery.
Also, I can't see the justification for being able to take all items carte blanche with no question either.
I like the idea of settlements providing a route to crafting/manufacturing but it has to be at a cost and with interaction as I outline above.
I especially like this and the repair suggestion below too. It would also be great to be able to switch lights on and off in rooms as well with intrusion of privacy being a thing.
Obviously you mean only for Odyssey players. Some would disagree as it would put Horizons players at a potential disadvantage but then I think the better argument is that it would give Horizons players more impetus to upgrade.
That's too OP in my mind, just give us the ability to trade all materials with each other.
Again, OP and inconsistent with the idea that you actually have a thing in your possession that just can't be magically turned into something else.
Disagree, report crimes means just that, it doesn't change the legal status of the system.
Why not just meet in an Anarchy system?
Not sure what this is meant to achieve.
I guess this ties into the above? I think it may be overcomplicated but I agree that maybe having a bounty should preclude you from operating in Private or Solo. I have some thoughts about the game modes myself that I've yet to get to the point of posting, but this would tie into it.

That video is dim even to non mmo games. Following the money means we'll end up with a world of candy crush and gardenscape......
That took like 2 seconds to do (duh), and purely to reinforce the point of tl;dr.And yet you quoted the whole thing...
This is why we can't have nice things any more. Oh, well. Carry on.That took like 2 seconds to do (duh), and purely to reinforce the point of tl;dr.

We can't have nice things any more because the core design ethos of ED/EDO is built around time-wasting busy work grind mechanics in order to juice user engagement metrics for investors. The concept of fun doesn't enter into it. Blame FDev, not me.
Why not fix obvious errors first. To the developers: And don't call it an update again, but it's a patch if only something is fixed.
It's an update so they have bugs to fix (ie ignore) in the next patch
True, or viewed another way, the vast scope of Elite as a game.
Along with the wasted potential...
Well, it can be seen that the potential to not leave a neutral/positive comment without a negative comeback is certainly rarely wasted here. However, the potential of Elite is only wasted if left unfulfilled and as the game is still in development all remaining potential is still yet to be fulfilled, though if development were to stop because 'elite is dying/dead', then I guess that would also prove you right, if such a thing in this case is that important to you, being proved right that is.
As for development priorities and speed, they are all a matter of conjecture as to the how what and why of this or that.
These look like they would make the game too easy. There has to be some challenge and risk else it gets boring.
What I would like in a next release or DLC is more to explore, say if there were some underground facilities at settlements, residential areas to explore in surface ports/starports with black market contacts etc (and patrols to avoid)

We don't have a valid gameplay for the new srv but here we are. We don't have valid gameplay for on foot exploration but we have arthemis suit. We don'r have valid gameplay for carrier interiors. And many more examples. It is all about immersion and teh valid game can be boarding damaged ships in space or crashed on planets and explore and loot them.
Missing from the OP
Cockpit cats.
And yes, they are gameplay centric. Both in ship and on foot.
On foot: your cockpit cat (which gets it's own really cool space suit armor) finds you loot and takes items off fallen npcs and brings it to you sometimes. Sometimes it just plays with the stuff. Cockpit cats are super rare and difficult to acquire, so it's important you protect your cockpit cat ...which even though they are hard to shoot, can be killed.
In ship: Your cockpit cat has been bred for a thousand years to live in space. Cockpit cats can sense USS's undetectable by ship sensors at any supercruise speed higher than the minimum. So your cockpit cat can act as a detector of these ...letting you slow down so they can be picked up by the ship's computer and you can drop into them.
Your cockpit cat is proceduraly generated, so they can look different and have different temperaments and emotes but different factions tend to have certain looks of cockpit cat. Each faction is slightly different and those difference are only available from cat dealers of that faction. You can name your cockpit cat and buy different cat space suits for arx.
Cockpit cats can only be acquired by coming across a breeder in supercruise or on foot.
in space: They randomly appear in any populated system and if you have the required random rare that particular breeder wants, you can trade it for a cockpit cat, picked among it's handful of kittens. Once you eject the good, they will collect it and once collected, they will eject the cat chosen that you must collect. No more transactions with that particular breeder can occur in that instance. Only 1 cockpit cat per commander can be had at a single time.
Getting rid of a cockpit cat other than by death is possible by transferring them to cargo and ejecting them. Cockpit cats ejected this way cannot be picked up, it immediately high jumps out ...same as what presumably happens to player pilots when they die.
On Foot: Cockpit cats on foot are acquired by coming across a cat breeder srv. These guys randomly travel on populated worlds and can be interacted with on foot or in your srv. Transfer of random rare good for your cockpit cat is done much the same way as on ship except the cockpit cat is given to you in a space cat suit and follows you like normal. (cockpit cats are highly trained at an extremely young age).
Getting rid of a cockpit cat on foot can be done with a comm command you can give it. This will cause the cockpit cat to meow, and look real sad. If you give the command a second time before doing anything else, the cat will turn away and run off behind the nearest thing available and de-instance. if nothing is available, it will just run off until it's too small to see and de-instance. If you chase it ..it'll just keep running. There is no way to regain it, and nobody else can take it.
When in ship, the cockpit cat sits in view of the player. It will follow the player on concourses and any other time they disembark
Cockpit cats can also protect the owner, but cannot be commanded to attack. In emergencies where the player is being attacked at close proximity, a cockpit cat may defend the player using the prosthetic claws their suits have that they use ordinarily for grasping items off dead guys and wherever to attach to their chest mounted cargo carrier. The prosthetic claws can easily tear thru space suits and flesh. It's advisable to not find yourself trying to dislodge an angry cockpit cat. Cockpit cats do not attack robots. Cockpit cats are afraid of fire and water. Cockpit cats are also disturbed by other cockpit cats. leading to a decrease in their ability to acquire loot or defend the player.
I think only after this, can we really look to address the other items in the wishlist.
