General wants in Odyssey, basic FPS STUFF without the FLUFF.

Never played the board game or any video game variant. I do have a few Warhammer 40k (and regular) as I enjoy dabbling in the painting of them. I have an old pewter one I bought when I was about 10 years old and painted it. That was 30+ years ago. Actually I had two but can't find the other.
exoskeleton suit to cope with high g worlds, and internal organs that don't turn to mush
There's two more of these personal photographs of me online now. I wish people would ask permission before publishing drunk pics of me on the interweb.
In the first one, I'm trying to be one of the Pet Shop Boys in a techno suit. It was a fun night.
Same, I had quite a few in ... um ... late 80s? Memory's not what it once was
And the 2nd was a Stag doo. I think I was there.
Be more careful with the camouflage paint next time maybe?
Interesting, had a ZX spectrum (from Sinclair?) or better, my father had it, but I was really too young at that time
I want more rainbow lasers and glitter guns so that the carebears won't get hurt and cry.
I'd like a shark cannon, like they have in the Lego movies.
Or if I get moddederatered, I mean Blocko...!

I think what I DON'T want is
"C. O. D. in Space"
Or
"G.T. Spaceship"
We already have these types of games, if I want to play a game like them. I'd buy those dedicated games already out there.
However some thoughts I have are:
I would like to see insides of ships, space stations. Can we interact with these?
I'd like to maybe visit shops and bars.
You could pick up jobs and missions from "a man in a pub"
If we get to land on Earth like planets, I'd like visit cities or see maybe wildlife or farms.
I understand there will likely be some combat, but there should be some heavy policing in civilised locations.
Currently your commander can't die. How is that going to work?
I'd really like it to be seamless switching between walking and piloting.
To be honest IMO, it's a game about flying a spaceship, why do people want "legs"?
Oh well, here's hoping it's good.

Space Hulk death wing is good heretic purging fun, I'd wait for a sale though.
Lots of Lore to make up for killing Galnet!
Mission givers with quests and side quests (Think morrowind/Oblivion).
oh and follower npcs with unlimited carrying capacity... and jiggle.

I thought you were doing some Devo cover of Mr. Roboto
I don't know what that is to be honest. Is it paintable?
That would make a mess of your monitor.
I've noticed a few people bringing up Call of Duty. I see no real avenue for Odyssey to be Call of Duty in space. I wouldn't worry about that.
CoD, I've admittedly never played much, but as I understand it, it's a linear single-player FPS campaign with handcrafted levels, plus multiplayer deathmatch/CTF/etc. gameplay in enclosed maps.
Elite is an open-world freeform game. Almost certainly, legs will just a new method of locomotion that lets us exit the ship/SRV and infiltrate buildings and stuff, with hopefully some additional scenarios to take advantage of it. To superimpose a CoD game on Elite... that would be a lot of work to make something that doesn't fit the format of the game and no one asked for. Way MORE work than the alternative. (Unless it was a new mode in CQC, I guess)
Unless you guys are just comparing fast-paced first person combat in general to CoD?
