Odyssey introduces player to player material "trading"

On foot, you can drop Odyssey items and components, meaning friends can land at an empty location and drop mats for each other. Why not go all the way and make a trade screen for that?

Without a proper trade window it would be ripe for scamming/stealing.

While they are at it, they should also add wing/direct message invitation when targeting another player. The current "social hubs" are not social at all without that..

I prefer not to be spammed by messages thank you very much! Have had enough of that in other games. Actually I might finally have a use for the block function!

Hey guys, special surprise! This DOESN'T WORK if you're not alone. I was trying that earlier today with my wife, and I couldn't drop items from the inventory. Whereas previously, in Solo/on my own, I would frequently drop ones that are low value/not needed to pick up good items.

Yes it does - I've watched (stream) people drop items and others pick them up

I was with my wife as I wrote that, testing it out, there was NO way to drop the items I'd picked up. Normally in solo, or when my private group is empty, I have no trouble. Were the streamers using the current version? The streamers in open or something? Ah, were they grouped together?

It was in a PG I think. Bruce was also talking about doing it on the Frontier stream

It definitely works when I'm alone in solo OR PG, but the moment my wife is around, the items don't want to drop. Can't even select 'em! My thoughts here by the way are that FDev has always been hostile to player trades in the past (trying to keep the "gold sellers" out of the game I guess?), although they seem to be unwilling or unable to fix the carrier cash transfer system heh... I'll try again tomorrow to see if it was a one-off issue -- given the bugs, could be a one-off UI glitch etc.

I would imagine this has been done to add a PvP reward element to the game. At the moment if you PvP blow up a player ship you can scoop materials so logic says you should be able to kill and loot fallen commanders on foot.
