In Odyssey it is necessary to promote roleplay

[Northpin]

ED is providing the sandbox
It allows multiplayer as a social coop game, it allows multiplayer as an anti-social game and it allows solo play (but in the same connected galaxy)
And it's quite perfect.

What is not perfect is to force the social aspect where is not needed.
If people feel like playing together, they can.
If not, they can too.

 

[Carlos Sagan]

It is a sandbox, right, more reason to add mechanics to interact with the environment, give it a purpose and use beyond the stage the centers of the stations, which only serve to go from here to there.
