Oddyssey Abandoned In Favor of Colonisation

[Dragsham]

Odyssey is essentially the introduction of Atmospheric bodies to which bases can be installed that allow on foot content ie on foot CZs, on foot AX, on foot settlement raids etc.
That's pretty much it over the basegame. None of the above is available in horizons.
Not sure if exobiology is in the base game. I doubt it as it requires a suit specific to its needs.

The question isn't what Odyssey is, the question is why hasn't it been developed for so many years? Where are the new settlements? Where are the new costumes? Where are the new weapons? Where are the new Odyssey missions? If it's for the atmosphere, where's the development of the planets' atmospheres?
I, for example, can't find a foot CZ for the Power.

I have doubts about whether the new colonization gameplay will be fully available to Horizons 4.0 players too. For one, atmospheric planets are off limits to them and two, surely you would like to check to check the new base facilities' functionality on foot.

Though I guess an SRV check will probably do as well.

 

[Dragsham]

And the basegame would be limited as to where to place bases. Ie not on any Atmospheric bodies so yeh l doubt the basegame will have colonisation

Good point. I agree totally. And alot of other cmdrs concur.
I guess they just run with batsh** crazy ideas as they appeal to them

Not to mention that the vendors at Pioneers Supplies all have the same body language regardless of gender, sex or age. Reminds a bit of the Body Snatchers movie

For me oddity would come into its own, when elws become landable, with terrain, cities, and whole civilisations. Which is just off the scale realism, on a scale pretty much impossible with the amount of elws in the bubble, and the complexities involved ie how would factions fit in?
How do you factionalise an entire world??

And why aren't some of the costumes that exist not in the ARX store? I'd love that imperial armour you see on guards in imperial bases.

There are two points here.
1. You can not build bases (participate in the construction) on planets, limited only to stations in space.
2. On the other side of the idea architect can not be a person who does not have Odyssey ... it threatens to empty good planets suitable for colonization.

Odyssey got new costumes and even a new mission type, as well as war additions over the years. I get the impression that you are not playing it very much. Granted, I'd also like to see more development of it, but to say that it has not been developed at all is simply wrong.

Also don't forget the four new ships you only get with Odyssey for credits eventually. They are essentially part of the DLC, even though base-game owners can buy-in to them as well (for a much higher price-tag than just picking up the DLC).

New suits? Weren't the mandatory flight and maverick, artemis and dominator at launch? It's been years since I bought them, fully developed them to level 5 and put all the modules in. But since you can't rearrange modules you had to re-suit. (to buy the same ones and make them different)
Also with weapons, though I have 2-3 kinds of not level 5, but all the rest of the 5 and with all the mods.
How much or little I play I am difficult to assess because I do not know the criteria for assessing this.

Why is that? What is something where you can still spend ARXs accumulated during the game?

LOL, now that would be funny.

But this helmet.

I didn't mean new suits (in the functional sense of it), but new costumes (in the cosmetic sense). Maybe a translation problem there.

The last question I don't understand. I meant the four ships that were already developed for Odyssey (as they are eventually available for credits there). That you don't have to spend ARX for them if you have the DLC was exactly the point why I consider them Odyssey development.

Sorry, I'm used to operating with technical methods, not artificial and marketing limitations.

ARX are the result of a technical method. It is called micro-transactions.

I must have misunderstood something.

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm saying. I do something in the game and I get ARXs for it. I also get credits for doing something in the game. The only difference is that the ARXs ceiling is limited per week.

Usually micro-transactions are used for converting real money to virtual assets. The fact that you can earn them in Elite by playing the game is not the major defining property of MTX.

That's my point, you can buy these ships for ARXs in Horizons without spending real money on them !
