[Summary Thread] Removed and Missing Information in Elite: Odyssey

Due to Taupe Cobras I am unable to log into Odyssey, so I still can't work on the list.

Edit: A few hours later, I am finally in-

Missing :

Galaxy Map :
  • price (and as a result potential value of visiting) when purchasing Exploration Data within 20LY, clicking "purchase UC Data" merely confirms that some was bought
  • mouse-over Data and contextual Interaction Options (all)
--- i.e. want to jump a Carrier or make a max. Range boosted jump, 100% manual and individual clicking and sampling of Systems is required to see their distance
--- i.e. want to rapidly set a Bookmark of Opportunity... you can't
--- i.e. want to rapidly view the System Map... you can't
--- i.e. want to rapidly select System as Destination... you can't
--- i.e. want to rapidly plot a course to the mouse-over System... you can't
  • functional Neutron Plotting (fails)
  • multiple more Filters and combination of Filters (i.e. show only Visited Systems + show only A+F Class Systems = show only visited A+F Class Systems)
  • a 1000Cr reparation for every single unneeded extra click (exceedingly poor UI Design)

System Map :
  • rapid visual indication of landable Planet with minimal Amtosphere vs. thick Atmosphere (not landable)
  • mouse-over Data and contextual Interaction Options (all) / analog to UI Design failure of Galaxy Map
  • a 10000Cr reparation for every single unneeded extra click (it's a nightmare and impossible to attain swift mouse-over Information or contextual Informaton in a central Window)

I know, it's just Alpha 5.02 now - but sooner or later the System Map and Galaxy Map Alpha placeholders will need to be replaced with efficient User Interfaces eventually...

Missing : who in the wing accepted a wing mission.
Before : holo me of each pilot was in the transaction panel, so you know which one of your wingmate accepted the mission.
Now : no information at all about your wingman. So need to confirm vocaly or in text chat if every one accept it.

Worst. If you share a mission to a wingman, then add a new wingman, you can not anymore share the mission for this new wingman. Other wing members must first leave the mission, then only you can share again the mission.
 
Text overflows the space given "...which means there"View attachment 229502



Again, text overflows - "[AVG. Value:" & "[RARITY"
View attachment 229507

This is not a UI-bug summary thread. I can include the cases of information being cut off though.


Missions
  • Mission Reward Selection: text overflows of Commodity Value and Material Rarity Grade text

Port UI
  • Incorrect port allegiance
  • Incorrect Economy symbol or background (this was in Alpha, require a confirmation that this is still in the current built)
  • Incorrect mission giver names (different in mission boards and port main menu)
  • Faction state names displayed without spacing

Suit Customization
  • Attachments and Decal grouped inconveniently (hard to navigate)
  • Misleading or wrong preview pictures on attachment categories
Where in Outfitting was that particular screen with the "Scramble Spectrum" text overflow?
Module Storage? Looking at installed modules? ...

When exiting stations in Odyssey, you no longer know which side is the correct side to exit the mail slot - as the green (right side) and red (left side) lights have been removed.
EDIT - Correction. The lights are present in Odyssey. However, they are very dim and you can barely see them.
I've noticed they're harder to spot. Will look whether I can make this an entry.

What about the mouse over that shows body distance from the star in system map.
That information is now in the right hand info panel and therefore isn't technically missing.

System map info missing.

The system description is missing from the system map when you first open it.

To view it now you have to click on the 'View System Map' icon, then click on the 'System Information' icon. Two extra clicks for something that should be displayed from the Gal Map, like it was in Horizons.

It should look like this from the Gal Map, we shouldn't have to navigate extra screens with extra clicks to see it.

Edit:

Here's a link to the ticket if anyone wants to add to it, or upvote it.

This is an unfortunate bug. It is on the list now.

Continuing at #63 later.

  • Display of which team members accepted a wing mission (left hand transaction panel)
  • Ability to share a mission again when new team members join
Added to the list, thank you! These are quite big.

Galaxy Map :
  • price (and as a result potential value of visiting) when purchasing Exploration Data within 20LY, clicking "purchase UC Data" merely confirms that some was bought
  • mouse-over Data and contextual Interaction Options (all)
  • Prices of Exploration Data (when buying it at stations)
Added. Will investigate to to see what X-Data interaction options have been removed.

--- i.e. want to jump a Carrier or make a max. Range boosted jump, 100% manual and individual clicking and sampling of Systems is required to see their distance
You just have to click the system information button once. The info box will remain even when looking and selecting other systems.

--- i.e. want to rapidly set a Bookmark of Opportunity... you can't
What prevents you? The inability to withdraw bookmarks easily is on the list already.

--- i.e. want to rapidly view the System Map... you can't
I agree, System map should be at the top. But this thread is on missing information, not UI problems.
I have added this one to my list of UI concerns here:

--- i.e. want to rapidly select System as Destination... you can't
--- i.e. want to rapidly plot a course to the mouse-over System... you can't
I actually like the holding down feature.

  • functional Neutron Plotting (fails)
  • multiple more Filters and combination of Filters (i.e. show only Visited Systems + show only A+F Class Systems = show only visited A+F Class Systems)
  • a 1000Cr reparation for every single unneeded extra click (exceedingly poor UI Design)
I will include lack of combining filters on the list.

System Map :
  • rapid visual indication of landable Planet with minimal Amtosphere vs. thick Atmosphere (not landable)
That's simply the blue horizon on planets, same as it used to be.

  • mouse-over Data and contextual Interaction Options (all) / analog to UI Design failure of Galaxy Map
  • a 10000Cr reparation for every single unneeded extra click (it's a nightmare and impossible to attain swift mouse-over Information or contextual Informaton in a central Window)

I know, it's just Alpha 5.02 now - but sooner or later the System Map and Galaxy Map Alpha placeholders will need to be replaced with efficient User Interfaces eventually...
I hope they will be.

ADDED:

Again...
Still investigating the outfitting example

Sorry for the delay getting back to you - Had to slog back to my Vulture!

It's a UI bug rather than removed or missing information, but here it is anyway (and still present as of hotfix 3):

When plotting a carrier jump, the galaxy map displays systems' distances from you rather than from your carrier now, which is utterly unhelpful.

The new roles panel also lacks a "JUMPING" lockout screen like the others have while in hyperspace, meaning you're free do things like switch loadouts with no indication that the game isn't accepting your input at that time.

Edit: Also the info of skimmers while on foot. You're expected to fight them but can't see if they're legal.

Edit 2: Also also the insufficient cargo capacity warnings when switching ships or redocking an SRV. You're just denied the option with no explanation, which has already led to minutes of confusion for me.

Can you share screenshots of this (ideally Horizons vs. odyssey)?

I a, not sure what panel you're talking about. Is this multi-crew related?

I'll include that one

Included. This one is quite relevant. Good catch!
