If you're Undecided about Odyssey, what do you want to see?

Which is one reason why FD didn't do it that way.
From what I'm seeing, the environments shown in the trailers are the only ones we're getting. They should just be totally up front on expectations/meat.
From experience, I'm setting mine to -2. I do this for a lot of games/entertainment.
Truth be told, had ED been subscription based, I probably wouldn't have picked it up at all.
Hard to warrant paying a monthly tribute for such a single-playerish game, especially if one comes in - like I did - mainly interested about flying some space ships and sailing the uncharted galactic void.

Some days later but no buy at all for me until:
- megaship/installation hacking fixed (almost a year from an update that was supposed to have nothing to do with it...)
- research limpet fix, as the hitbox of the sample doesn't explode when thargoid tries to move while beeing close to it
- a bridge for FC, i'm paying stupids 11M to sit at the bridge while they confine me in the garage during the jumps...
- optionnal (i like dreaming): finding a new excuse for upkeep, as the initial one was to prevent unused idle FC. Lot have enough in bank to stay idle for years...
- unlocking/fixing? guardian bunker doors (no salvage item can be used to open them, neither by activating pylons).
- unlocking permits region
Yeah, not sure I would have bought into it either...
..I'm torn.......Odyssey probably wouldn't be enough to justify paying a monthly subscription either. Maybe if space legs gameplay was already in the Horizons DLC like it should have been, and Odyssey was more about ship interior gameplay, expanding the bubble, graphics overhauls, and landable earth like planets where you can traverse those cities, my opinion on a monthly subscription might have been different.
Wait, so you don't even get to be on the bridge, like at all or only during jumps? So they just put you in a man cave then? 
Bought game in dec '14.
At first I thought it was cute how tight-lipped FD was with any info regarding updates.
It's no longer cute, hasn't been since pre Horizons.
They can't even tell you what's up with some suit you get for your pre-order?
Whatever.
Have not boarded any hype train for years.
As mentioned above, pre-ordering digital wares that have an inexhaustible supply doesn't make sense.

Same interest (and love the Blake quote), but if the sub had been something like a fiver a month I probably would have because a) it would force them to concentrate on FUN gameplay rather than grind and b) (possibly) been far more developed than it is now.
Wow proved that people will pay a monthly subscription and ED is unique in that it's the only 'fly a spaceship in vr in an online 1 to 1 representation of our galaxy' out on the market at the moment.
Have maybe three tiers: Free (to keep the numbers up), a fiver for tight wads like me with shop and preferential connections (no idea if that's possible) and maybe fifteen where you get various non pay to win gifts for people who really want to support the game. This would also mean a more secure server based online game where lots of people could actually play together.
