As a perhaps unintended side effect, both the data downloads and atmospheric pressure panels are now perfect for luring in civilians and guards alike if you're doing a settlement massacre mission. Like flies to honey.
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 7 Notes
- Thread starter sallymorganmoore
- Start date
I haven't tried it yet but "AI now consider any downloading and uploading to be a crime" does worry me. I read it as that any NPC AI that sees you do it will take offence ... guess it needs testing.
true, I assumed so too but didnt happen with me.
Then again, I got scanned four times during testing while having a fake ID, and in two cases the guard (non anarchy) didn't care either. Seems that if you provide a trigger (trespassing or showing a weapons) and then backing off/stowing the weapon they complete the scan without caring about ID.
In other words: when you get scanned with a fake ID, just show your illegal gun for a sec.
I hate to add to all the gloom, but, I have yet to see a Support mission, even in a system in "infrastructure failure". Really, I'm NOT in to spending hours/days trying to make a faction like me enough to throw me a mission or two, but there aren't even greyed out missions. There's just none that I've seen, and I'm not going to spend hours flying around trying to dig them up.
The FPS in the stations I've been in are at 60-70 and drops to around the 50s close to the bar, slightly better for me (HP Omen, i7, GTX1070). But I'm going back to American Truck Simulator until this dust settles and the Support missions start working again.. Disillusioned I guess, again.

I double checked, when I looked at the data to download neither had the bell icon, but if I added them to download it would give me the illegality warning. I cancelled and ended up shooting up the place anyways because a guard who def did not see me open fire because I was near a panel I opened earlier. How they could tell it was me I have no idea.
Ended up with a bounty and 4 notoriety, and depending on which screen I look at I get three different bounty values. Who knows which is the correct one, I'm past caring at this stage.
I'd volunteer to play in a private beta server like a shot.
Just a heads-up: no need to rush with grinding mats and data.
U7 broke modding your weapons and suits. You cannot apply anything to anything at any engineer.
I hate to say it, and I wish all the devs and CMs the best, but this is garbage. I am sure they worked hard, mean well and try their best. But its really shockingly poor quality.
Lol, if that happens they'll make you pay them.
Tried the "new" conflict zones and there were no ships fighting around the settlement and the new AA turrets were deployed but were not hostile not even towards me, also the sound while on foot is totally borked, when you shoot you gun next to some object (a wall, a crate, a door whatever) it just plays like a muffled sound and only in the speaker in the direction of the object, for example if you shoot while taking cover on a crate on your right, the sound will only play on your right, if you go in the open with no objects close to you it plays normally, this is really messed up, it was working properly just before the patch.
Honestly it is a shame, i thought Update 7 was going to be another step forward but it just introduced a whole lot of bugs and issues... again...

I dont think there will be NPC ships, its just defense against cmdr ships. They only target you when you start killing stuff in a ship.
I know plenty of people who would, and who even paid money to do so in this game in the past.
I think someone said earlier in the thread, and it bears repeating, it's not just a question of QA it's a question of communication and marketing.
I didn't sign up to do QA for a broken product, I signed up to shoot spaceships for my chosen faction (and my pals), which is precisely what I had been doing up until this afternoon. For my purposes this 40 euro product I bought in May 2021 is now, at this very moment, significantly less functional than it was yesterday (or 4 months ago for that matter). I didn't think I was buying an early access pass*, and while the bugs may last days which is already irritating enough, we also know the BGS fallout from them may last months or even years (edit: Anarchy factions have lost a combined 1000+ systems since May last I checked, for example).
Some people want to do QA, some will do it for free, some will even pay to do it. Sometimes I will too, but I want to make that decision at the moment of purchase, not have it thrust on me while I'm half way through a faction war on a Wednesday evening.
* I'll admit to being disingenuous here. I knew I was buying an Elite: Dangerous expansion and as a long-term player I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect some level of jank just based on past experiences. But the point stands.

It's probably not even their QA being bad or anything. I'm pretty sure they don't have a test environment where they can run the game to see how changes made to the code are working.
I mean, there's literally no way that any kind of testers, no matter how bad or disabled (blind or something like that), won't spot these kind of bugs if they had so much as a single opportunity to run the game before the changes go live.
Oh, I am not pointing at individual QA employees. And yes, many things are obvious just by doing random things for a few minutes. I am just saying that at the end of the day the level of quality assurance is minimal for whatever reason. Maybe they dont properly test at all, maybe they do but the devs arent given the resources/time to tackle them. Who knows. But at the end of the day FD's ability to assure their software is of sufficient quality is virtually non-existent.
I can with certainty say that downloading of previously legal data (no ring bell) now makes NPCs hostile ... little weird logic when they added that ring bell in previous patch.
I want details of what would happen if the bosses didn't go light. Spankings? Purple nurples? Punch inna face? Baseball bat to the shins? Severed hand? Murder? Do tell.
So the bell triggers the alarms (unless alarms disabled) and everything else just trigger people who see you dowoad it.

Why? Going back to a outdated game with outdated functionalities? Throw away the space legs, something really needed instead of asking for improving this Odyssey expansion, adding Thargoids and station missions and more things that is lacking? What is so wrong with Odyssey that makes lots of you hate it and quit ED to play an unfinished demo like Star Citizen, a scam full of bugs and lacking content that only is there to sell ships, use fancy techy tecnobabble and offer a really nice universe but utterly empty? And SC update 15? You mean the update that adds an inventory, which is something every mmo should have from start, and medical play and injures, which only will add more wasted time between deads in a game in which you die just stepping inside your ship? Good luck to any of yoy who were fooled to buy Star Citizen thinking that in one year or two the game will be complete. It wont be complete until another 8 years... or never. It's a business model to sell ships and a eternal alpha.
Odyssey must exist, and is absurd that you people ask that it dissapear and moan about it. Just play horizons if you don't like it. It will be there for a while.
Seriously, I don't understand that kind of destructive thought.
The thought should be: please make Odyssey better. Please add the functionalities it should have to admire it. That's a positive and much needed thinking.

You use lasers? No wonder CZs are difficult.
I'd gladly play Horizons, but FYI, they have just ruined it because of your precious space legs.
