There's a lot of potential. Journalism work (all you'd need do is 'scan' an NPC / vista / structure / biological feature); search and rescue, either in ground locations or at attacked stations, unblocking doors with the arc cutter; espionage, again where you can scan a location or whatever... These would surely be easy to implement.
More like, in Odyssey, criminal activities are casualized. There are not much distinction. You get fined by doing legit mission. You get to fight civilian because the alternative to get some engineering component is not there. Eventually, you don't know if it's legal or not anymore. I just shoot stuff, it's all the same.
The thing is, I really enjoy stealth-type gameplay, heists and whatnot, in other games. I'm not at all against doing illegal things in a game, it can be quite fun.
yes, but also borderladns does it 1000 times better
Probably, but that wasn't my point. My point is that it's hard to care about legal or not, because it's very detached from reality.
That really is a state of the game right there. All eyes have been on the technical side of Odyssey such that nobody caught this nonsense and said hey, is this really the sort of game we want?
I'm honestly there to steal their power regulator, the memes are just a bonus
Some of the missions are framed as stealing from an "evil" organisation. The mission givers do like their narratives.
How do we give others data? Uploading to random data ports?
You need to met in person on the ground, and from the backpack menu, you can drop items. Not justs assets and goods either, the data items can also be dropped (they pop out as some kind of small container). Note that multiple copies of an item will be dropped as a single lootable thingie, so you want to avoid dropping more at a time than your friend's backpack capacity. If they have 10 data spaces in their backpack and you drop a block of 20 cat media for example, when they collect it, they'll only get 10, and the extra 10 will have vanished.
Yeah, twas the first thing I looked at and thought... OK.for not getting notoriety for onfoot murder by the way
Ships are expensive and difficult to produce...
Then don't do it? They're a chance of a drop at any HAB dataport. You can scan those without murder. Every time I do a fetch mission for some engineering thing I want I walk straight to the HAB. Not only can I steal their cat media I can also then use the terminal to find the thing I'm looking for. There are only a few settlements were the HAB isn't Auth Level 0.
