I'm not suggesting the purchase of mats with credits per se, but some of the engineering options I think should just be attachments for guns that are purchasable with credits. Gun version of optional internals, and then maybe just allow engineering of those, like variable zoom as an engineering option for scopes, or have a damage debuff on suppressors by default that can be engineered away, etc. I agree that people sitting on billions of credits shouldn't necessarily be able to buy their way to god-tier, but I do think that the game should either get rid of compartmentalized grinds either by allowing the gathering of mats for all avenues regardless of gameplay method, allowing cross-trading of mats for on foot and in ship items, or rebalance the materials required with the idea of gameplay being more spread out in mind. You put out Odyssey, so rebalance mats required across the board with the idea of people playing all of your content in mind because as it stands now if you want to continue to engineer your ship you are pretty much signing up to ignore Odyssey content entirely to do so, or committing in the opposite direction and choosing to pretend that ship gameplay doesn't exist until you grind to a point that on-foot gameplay isn't a bullet-sponge littered trail to the next recharge station before you suffocate from depleted suit energy.
Missions for ships in the stations concourse

shakes head It's more complicated than that boss. If you are just talking about mats, that's just a table. Once you get into ship modules, including core internals, then you need a way to install it onto a ship .. or heck just getting it onto a ship to begin with.
I don't think so, really. Just loot table reworks and a change to the material trader as "shortest road" fix. Some of my earlier suggestions are much bigger undertakings, for sure, but I think the ones you specifically quoted aren't that much of a fundamental change.
Ohhhh, I see what you're saying. I might have misrepresented what I'm suggesting. I didn't mean finding the modules themselves as loot; just engineering materials for ship parts or something similar. I'm definitely not saying I want to drag a 5E Multicannon across a settlement LOL.
I assumed you didn't suggest me to haul a 256t 8B sensor array to the trunk of my srv.
Would be fun though.
In a perfect world that's a level of detail I'd probably enjoy, but I think there's another space game that's trying to do just that and I'd rather Elite just shape up what's already here into something less grueling to get through in the meantime. Odyssey has real potential and I'm having a fun time with it overall but some of the core concepts just don't seem mapped out.

Which is what I thought you meant
But yeah, FDev should have made engineering mats essentially 'universal'. Using the same mats in different ways and quantities. So it didn't matter where or how you played - you were earning mats. Darn good thought process boss.
They missed the boat with that.
That's just your opinion which I disagree with. It's the whole experience which is what I like.

As I said earlier, these things you do occasionally. Might as well get rid the stations and have it all done in your cockpit.
If you do these things occasionally...that's on you man. I use a lot of these daily.
LOL! Here is the thing boss. It is just your opinion as well. See how that works?
I'm also willing to bet that isolating things just to on foot to satisfy your opinion isn't what's best suited to the type of integration of EDO and EDH that FDev has been talking about.
Now obviously since all we are doing here is expressing opinions and wasting time, none of it really matters.
But when things end up closer to what I'm thinking than what you are, I promise to only send you 1 PM telling you I told you so
It is less work for them to just keep the 2 separate, so I can see why they do it.
Of course its just my opinion, pretty sure I made that clear in my posts. And if it becomes closer to what you want, that will be the time when I give up on the game and stop playing.LOL! Here is the thing boss. It is just your opinion as well. See how that works?

Maybe at the moment.
Can I have your stuff?
Nope, as I'm still playing and when I stop, I doubt I'll announce it on the forums like some others.
Hello again, is there any update on this topic?
I'm not really interested in the Odyssey legs content. For me legs would be more suitable for extending the game immersion rather than playing another FPS (with no story content). That's the main reason I still haven't bought it.
So did FDEV announced anything about extending the ship mission board to the station concourse too?

No, but did you hear about the awesome skins you can earn as Twitch drops?
