Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 7 Notes

[CMDR Von Abrahart]

I mean I give it to you, it is good write up and I'm happy for you. But all in all it is just some QoL changes and fixes.

While those are important, we still sadly need actual content. Turrets in the settlement or turning around Apex is no real content, I understand that fixing game is important and there is no deny, but we need something new to do. New ships and srvs to build, new discoveries, new actual activities outside what there has been in the game since the launch of the Odyssey. Elite needs new meaningful things.

I'm sorry if I sound all negative, no I love this game, but it hurts after every update it is just fixes over fixes and some minor QoL changes and no meaningful content. I'm sadly not the only one. We lost so many people since launch, bugs are not the only reason why people have stopped playing this game.

We need more Alien pyramids

call me an ignorant, but can we delete bookmars in Odyssey yet?

You... Already can... Have been doing so myself since it came out.

"An issue has been fixed whereby only one of each outfitting module could be purchased direct-to-storage"

How about reimbursing us that suffered from the issue?

@sallymorganmoore This is an enormous patch and a LOT of good work in there. Hats off to the hardworking team and yourself for writing up that mammoth tome. GG

Minor optimisation to avatar hair lighting have been made (Maybe they're born with it. Maybe it's optimised).

Also this made me LOL!

No worries then!
Once we've got all of the creases ironed out and the game is solid enough to re-introduce more gameplay and feature related stuff (like, soon), we'll hopefully see you a bit happier, but let's see

In addition, wealthy services and high tech stations now show less rubbish and junk on the floors, while the agricultural, industrial and asteroid stations are progressively more untidy.

Please don't do this, it's just bad design not consistent with any reality.

You can literally eat off the floor of a professional ag or industrial facility in real ife. Why would that be different in space?
I'm sure Asteroid mining will look like this:

I did see one drink bottle at one point, but apart from that the place is spotless.

It's more likely the hi-tech stations are a mess from all the tech weebos throwing rubbish on the floor, and the wealthy ones will also look like rubbish bins once the cleaning bots go on strike.

Where's the rush? Is there some end-game we dont know about?

 

[Cweord]

in reality i've never seen an ocelus spaceport, but YMMV

talking about earther reality, does makes sense a BIT yes, wealthy places tends(mostly) to be cleaner

 

[DeadMeatGF]

Awesome news @sallymorganmoore - what an epic post!
I'm off to turn some settlements back on ...

 

[Cmdr Aos_Si]

Fingers crossed it all goes well

And corpses (special, even in death): AI should be more vocal when they discover lifeless bodies (I didn't want to write "corpse" again, in all honesty).

Please, Please, Please add a way to hide bodies if this is the case - only an idiot would leave the corpse (I wrote it, not you) for everyone to see.

You can literally eat off the floor of a professional ag or industrial facility, and they are hi tech to begin with - they are in space!

It's more likely the hi-tech stations are a mess from all the tech weebos throwing on the floor.

Hehe, yea. The actual observation is the other way around: when i visit relatives who have a farm, they keep everything in order, despite how huge the place is. In contrast, the messiest places often are those where the "privileged" people hang around. They often seem to find that cleaning up is below somebody of their status, so they rather leave a mess, so some badly paid worker will clean it up later.

Thanks Fdevs.

 

[Nomex_G]

You guys are making a great game here, thanks so much for all the hard work.
