I noticed there are different suits shown in the dev diary - are these available to all commanders?
Yes - these are just a couple of the designs that will be available to all commanders, regardless of body type – we just chose to show commanders with different loadouts.

How many types of suits will there be?
While we can’t share an exact number just yet we can confirm there will be a variety of suits in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey. Their differences will extend beyond cosmetic changes with different suits specialised for different gameplay activities.

Quick question I'm hoping you might be able to answer... will commanders who have purchased Outfit Packs, such as the Scoundrel Outfit Pack, be able to wear those outfits outside of their ship (i.e. In stations, outpost interiors, other life supported areas we don't know about yet)?

Love the exciting news!

I'm more concerned about whether they have taken to heart the voices, after the first instalment, who requested more in-depth actual dev-diary-y talk, and less of a brief marketing piece. :7

I dont disagree, I was certainly disappointed in the lack of detail. So hopefully it will be an extensive description about these station interiors. Arf reconfirmed on the last stream that we will get to see stations from a fps perspective. Hopefully that means NPCs and missions details.

Excuse me? Did I read it right?

Today's GalNet article is the first piece of a new multi-arc narrative set to extend beyond the launch of Odyssey into 2022

He said all planets in Elite: Dangerous. Not Elite Dangerous :- Odyssey. That says everyone gets the new planet tech. Makes sense, you don't want to have to deal with a separate code bases for the base game, for Horizons and for Odyssey.

Yes it will be the whole galaxy, I don't see a problem here.

Thank you for bringing us back something that should never have left, but I suppose it was necessary because you have broken the game a lot, you love to show yourself merits and thanks. 🤷‍♂️


I still think this is a botch, stopping the stories for so long and so on.

Pretty sure it was stopped so they could work in Odyssey. Obviously their work in Odyssey is now over and can go back to writing galnet and doing IIs and CGs.

It was mentioned by one of the CM's that a whole team had been recruited for the task, it didn't sound as if they had returned from Odyssey creation to go back to work on GalNet etc.

I know right, it's like we woke up in an alternate universe where content is a thing in this game. Ya know, I'm gonna go ahead and eat crow here. But I was one of those folks that criticized Galnet for not being about things happening in-game. I mean I get some fluff, but the articles should also contain things that are really able to be interacted with.

But when they took it away, it was then I realized how the fluff pieces still made the universe feel alive even though they weren't interactable, it made me feel that things are happening in the world even when Im not in the purview. Either way, I'm glad it's back, even if it's fluff. But the fact that Fdev has said that it's also going to contain things you can actually play with. Even better, like I'm actually excited about the game if it's going to have an actual story to play.

Thank you. Being able to listen to Galnet makes a hell of a difference out there in the black.
And hello everybody! Now back to lurking.

Yup, yup. It does reactualise a pair of minor bugbears, though: That button, which auto-populates the playlist with recent articles, adds them to play from newest to oldest; Does anybody know if there is a setting somewhere, that reverses that to chronological order, as well as one to make the option to remove entries after they have been played back, on by default. :7
