you can say what you want -that interface of ED is terrible - like boarding your ship, why is this via an extra menu and not just pressing E like in most games where an action has to be performed on an item. It is a clunky interface and on top of it inconsistent - some can be used with the mouse other parts cannot. It is just a terrible interface.
State of the Game

- Start date
Elites is terrible in places sure but NMS isn't a panacea of awesome.
I'll give you an example - as a subscriber I can do planetary interaction, produce stuff on planets. A new player trying this might eventually get like 100-150k out of it per month, which is like nothing - I could get 4 billion out of it every month with a new account, because I know how to do it. and with this money I can play the market and I know very well how to do that as well, so I will have a couple of tens of billions within a short amount of time - whereas a new player might struggle for half a year to get his first billion or even longer.
and with this income I never have to pay for subscription again as well - I can buy PLEX with it and be subscribed from in-game income.

Well, at least we don't have Brabsters head in the game chasing us about

At least....not yet
it has it's quirks as well, sure, but it offers the gameplay I want as far as planetary stuff goes - and that is all I'm interested in actually - for my other space needs there is EVE.
I'm happy for you.
I spy with my little eye, something starting with 'Lord'...
...and it is genuinely in game.
I have my Cobra Mk4 dashboard covered with Lord Davids
Lord Brebus bless you.
....Parklife.
Odyssey have taken a very different approach than Horizon in UI design.
In Horizon, everything is made to be "immersive". Menu are actually ingame. Like in dead space. You look at an holographic display which is in your ship.
In Odyssey, you have a magic pop up in your face that nobody but you can see.
I have no idea why they didn't do the same kind of stuff. We have button on the elevator, why not use them ? Why do we have a magic menu for items/actions on foot, and not a dead space like holographic display instead ?
What I find odd (or not) is that Odyssey feels like it was made by a totally different team who never really checked the game they were updating.
you haven't seen the "between worlds" kind of planets, I guess - that are life forms looking like a picket fence or other abstract shapes. Or the ethereal planets - often called "bubbly planets", where most are spheres and bubbles hovering in the air, Fauna on those planets are often bubbles filled with a poisonous fluid. It is surreal and I give you that the game is anything but real, fantastic in a way and sometimes straight out crazy - but I found a world which looks at night time pretty much like Pandora in the Avatar movie, just not that rainforest-like. Then the weather conditions on those planets are out of this world as well, I disliked it at first, but now I am really curious what the next abstract planet will look like and what kind of Fauna and Flora there is. I found a wonderful planet, quite polluted though, but the Fauna there is just awesome, huge herds of large herbivores hunted by packs of predators, which are even bigger - they make for a marvelous ranch there - and any such planet is different, somewhat familiar but different and unique.
exactly.
Well, unless you have the David Braben bobblehead on your dashboard... It's very strange. It lasted for about ten seconds on my dashboard. Who would want to be under constant surveillance?
