Behold my immersive clipboard.

Yes, of course you can only mark and memorise one container at a time from a terminal, why would you be able to mark multiple codes at a time, that would destroy this scintillating WINDOWS+SHIFT+S gameplay.

Come on Frontier it's 2021, are you really going to make us do this crap?

What am I saying, of course you are.

I started playing Odyssey only recently, and I also thought it's kinda dumb. I would think that once I read those codes, the game will then hint me those codes at the lockers, but nope, only the one that I target, no more. I kinda find myself not pursuing these lockers when I know that I can do only one at a time, or write down the codes as in1995.

Eh, OP has a point. It's not like the game doesn't serve a code up if you already have a fetch mission. If you've accessed a terminal and seen the code for a locker it should just display if you're looking at it. Or better yet auto-animate and just open without my intervention.

The point was (since rendered kind of moot by the stupid redundancy of most Odyssey goods) that if codes were free to browse once you have security clearance it seemed asinine not to make them stick in your PDA or something.

This was early days of Odyssey so it wasn't apparent quite how much pointless cupboard fluff we'd be sorting through yet, made the mistake of assuming it'd be worth picking it up.

Writing things down in a notebook or alt-tabbing constantly in a videogame in 2021 is not generally considered to be good gameplay. What skill is it testing? Where's the drama or excitement?

I'm not going to criticise you if you enjoy it but my phone in 2021 can remember essentially infinite passwords... So a futuristic space suit probably should be able to as well.

This has long since stopped being a relevant problem given the vast portions of dumb in Odyssey, but your response is stuck in the 1980s like much of frontier's design philosophy.

So why are you bringing it up now if it has long since stopped being a relevant problem?

I don't understand why the codes are available on the system in the first place. Whilst on ship, our 21st-century cyber-security team in the office would get knickers in a twist that we put passwords in our handover notes so the next guy could log in and change them. It's terrible security.

Locker chests cannot be cut. So either write down codes or ignore them
E-Breaches are only for emergencies... or if you have the srv really really close

Look at the dates. I didn't bring it up now, this was posted 2 days after launch. Someone bumped this thread, then it turned into this pointless slap fight. I really couldn't care less anymore given that the contents of containers are worthless.

I replied only to stand by the idea that returning to a console or using a post-it would be valueless faff were it actually necessary. Everyone can just move on with their lives now.
