Planetary Approach Suite What happens now.

[Red Beard 0007]

Hey since everyone who owns elite dangerous now has horizons, is the planetary approach suite even needing its own slot now? Because it would be nice if i could use that internal slot for something else or do you think it would be used as a gate tool to stop people without odyssey, like i dont have a "PAS" to land on planets with "low" atmosphere.

 

[goemon]

you can (could?) sell it any times already.

 

[Factabulous]

If they remove the need for the PAS they'll remove the slot. Unless they're dingbats ...

Now what will I do with that slot

a wardrobe?

Haha.

But perhaps it will evolve into an atmospheric descent module.

 

[goemon]

i hope we get an extra slot, like the planetary approach suite. which we hopefully can sell as we can (could?) sell the planetary approach suite.

PAS slot isn't a universal internal compartment, never was. We might see it ugraded in EDO as Bigmaec said but thats about it.

or we get a new EDO slot, additional to the PAS. hopefully we can sell that, too!

and still the only thing you could mount there is another PAS....

or you can leave it empty! it's something else, as OP has asked for, isn't it?

Sold one just now (for science!) 487 Cr, that's more than 4 limpets!

or we get a new EDO slot, additional to the PAS. hopefully we can sell that, too!

That might net almost a grand, I'm starting to get a little light headed here thinking of all those riches. Good thing that Cutters come with a fainting couch...

But yeah, a new EDO slot wouldn't surprise me much either.

I agree with the OP - why is it even needed in a slot? Why would you need to remove it ever? Why wouldn't the landing avionics just be built in like the Discovery Scanner is now? I'd rather use the slot for a limpet controller or something optional.

Its handwavium for why some people can land, and others cant.

but will that be the same case when Odyssey comes out i am curious on how or where they will put this gate to separate the dlc owners to the non dlc
