Odessey 4 hours impression.

Didn't found that topics to cry about Odessey, so here is new:
1. optimization - how did you manage to break space?! Best I could get is 40 fps IN SPACE after playing with SLAA/MLAA etc for an hour. It was over 120 in horizons with all high.
2. darkness ...well, I can't see stuff on my cockpit. I barely see the chat at all.
3. carrier menu - constant loses focus so need relog. Repaired your ship? Go relog. Because pop up with repairs changed focus and underlying big menu stuck.
4. carrier outfitting - I don't have shop there, just stored all....how the hell can I change lets say laser? I didn't figure. And it has so many more click-click-click to confirm....like x7 slower to do even if u know how then it was.
5. carrier + odessey - really? No Vista, no energy cells supplies I can see....useless piece of metal again for 5 billions in long journey?
6. maps - who was that bright mind who changed mouse over to double click? Now when I want to find lets say "ice ring" I must double click each darn giant, instead just fast mouse over it. Do you think I spend not enough time in game?
7. on foot chat - that small window chat types into local only. tab not working. Big do work, however need to do some magic prior it allows to type (gets focused).
8. ....i'm going to land to planet next and see there ...what to add

UPD:
8. manage inventory just do nothing on foot when I stay into blue circle
9. Just disappered whole crashed ship once I picked something from box, some other canisters were flying at full jump height above ground, some other could be targeted from SRV under ground.

Suggestions: fire gui designer. And fix it. You have huge problems with keyboard focus there (as usual, nothing new) + hire somebody who played horizons at least 100 hrs in exploration. Make him to do trip for 10000. Then he can start to design things from scratch.
Question: if I will give u some time to fix all that and u fail, will I be able to refund? Or should I just ask refund right today? >:

11. Going to pick some delivers from planetary base for mission. "Docking request granted" -> "Purple Python" server error -> logged back on low orbit and there are no active missions at all. Cool story.
 
first hours are the worst ones... keep calm and fly...
I have no problem now and run very well... new textures are great
 
I'll tag along on this one as well. Watched EX stream last night while waiting to log into the game. I have 2k hrs in game and don'rl get me wrong I lovr it and will keep playing but for crying out loud the new UI is garbadge. And I'm not saying its new I can't get used to it. It's plain and simple garbadge, what was wrong with ild one? Simple? Lets make it stupidly complicated to find basic stuff. Easy to read? Lets hide all text so cmdrs have to go through each icon to find what they need. Gal map is the worst now. Takes ages to find ANY information relevant at the time, from system states to star classes, its all just over the top to the point where it became a chore. I am all for change for the better, but in this i stance, UI got way worse.

Can we have an option to choose UI new or old? Preatty please. o7
 
i would prefer when devs give you a choice "chose the ui you want we have few variants for you" forcing you to use smth is just.. stupid
 
I refuse to believe the UI\UX designer actually got his education.
Even I, having made like 2 sites from Coursera courses, understand how to make a decent UI way better than this.
Outfitting only has one pro if you compare it to the old one - Stored Modules sorting by type. Everything else is terrible. Roll. BACK.
Shipyard - roll back everything, nothing is better, old one was near perfect.
 
3. carrier menu - constant loses focus so need relog. Repaired your ship? Go relog.
OKey, found reason & solution for that. Happens IF you mouse over disabled button, i.e. suspended / not installed service this breaks menu. However, you can close by summoning engineers window. So to "fix" press 4, then engi, then esc to close them. Now you can open carrier window again and try NOT to move mouse over disabled buttons.
 
10. I think it has memory leaks, at some points
This is somehow related to galaxy map. Once I login on station lifts are ok there. Once I opened galaxy map -> all lifts lost textures.... FPS in space is going down drastically too, like red-zone in space(!!!). Horizons had settings in file how many pieces gal-map should render at once. I put a bet, in Odessey it do render whole galaxy on 1st open, sure it takes tens mins.
