Odyssey engineers blueprint pin - Where art thou?

Northpin · Feb 17, 2022

@Zac Cocken, @Bruce G, @Arthur Tolmie

Any news about these features?
They were advertised in the Update 8 patch notes, but there were nowhere to be seen in the game and no other mention about them except a notice from Sally that she would look into their disappearance.

Then Update 9 came along, still no Odyssey blueprint pinning
Then Update 10 came along, still nothing regarding the subject

What is going on?
Any news? Pretty please?

Any particular reason you think you're going to get an answer, especially after last week's thread?

Northpin · Feb 17, 2022

I feel that some questions must be asked.

Andro · Feb 17, 2022

Never thought to check this as I had all my engineering done. I'd also like to know.

It would seem that while Patch 8 release notes claim the Feature for Odyssey Engineeres to be able to have thier blueprint's pinned.

This feature has not been implemented into the Game.

It would seem that the adding of an icon for the Bartender for pinned blue-prints has also not been Implemented.

A ticket was raised a little while back about this issue -

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/44293

However it has since expired without any mention - Not sure what is going on here, but it is poor form to declar something, claim its release and then not implement it in-game. Then not mention it. Then ignore any mention of it.

Just poor form indeed.

Not sure how you mean there Father Jack, but if you have any information as to how, what and why Patch 8 Relase notes suggest Odyssey Engineers can now have blueprints and Bartenders can also show what resources are required for the pinned blueprints - yet none of this happened some 3 updates later.

That would be awesome....

.....if you can get the data you need for your blueprints, without going mad farming for weeks

Also I highly recommend EDEngineer as a (probably better anyway) workaround for Odyssey pins. Were the Odyssey ones supposed to let you remotely engineer, and where? That's the only reason I can think of to use them. Unless you're a vanilla game purist for some reason, EDEngineer is the way to go for Odyssey and Horizons engineering.

I did not notice it, but You are correct. In update 8 notes it says: "Odyssey Engineers: Added pin blueprint functionality".

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 8 Notes

Greetings Commanders. Well here we are. Update 8 for Odyssey is very close right now, HOWEVER I do need to bring the news of a slight change to the expected deployment schedule. (Now listen...You all warned me last night, right? I'm here to jinx us...clearly.) I'll be open with you with...

Thanks for letting us know - I'm taking a look into this.

Thanks, even though I have this strange sense of déjà vu.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 8 Notes

Is Odyssey coming to consoles? I don't care when it may be, only if it will at some point. If it is planned and is possible, will I need the latest console to support the graphics reasonably comfortable? I just need to know whether I should get my hopes up or not.

Yeap, that's the "notice from Sally" i mentioned in the OP.

But i'm optimistic - i just hope U11 does not get delayed because of it

I didn't even think of that. You might be the gaming equivalent of a student reminding the teacher he/she/xi didn't hand out homework assignments yet. If this means FC interiors are delayed again, I'll be waiting for you after Crafts & Arts.

I must be missing something, or not understanding maybe what you mean. I am using Odyssey, explicitly, and am able to pin blueprints. I'm hoping I'm just misunderstanding something here.

Odyssey specific (on-foot) engineering blueprints? Can you pin those?
We're not talking about horizons engineers blueprints pinning, but about the on-foot engineers.

SkW3rL · Feb 21, 2022

OK, that's what I was missing. I am still performing ship/Horizon blueprints. I don't think I've unlocked any Odyssey yet.
