Things we wanted, but did not get with Odyssey

Just making a list of things that will not come with the expansion that a significant part of the playerbase wanted.
If I missed anything significant, please post and I'll add.

-Terrain overhangs and caves (confirmed not in expansion)
-Weather (seems unlikely from the info we have)
-Ship interiors (confirmed not in expansion)
-EVA possibilities (seems unlikely from the info we have)
-NPC crewmates (confirmed not in expansion)
-HUD customization (confirmed not in expansion)
-Third person gameplay (confirmed not in expansion)
-Planet surface mining (confirmed not in expansion)
Did a significant amount want third person? I hadn't noticed.

As to the rest, I'm hoping most of that will come in time.
 
Things we wanted, but did not get with Odyssey: errr we haven't got Odyssey yet :rolleyes:

FDev made a video of what I want over 2 years ago. How immersive would this kind of interaction with our ships be? I'm not interested in visiting the cargo hold, the galley, the toilet etc; just a more immersive experience entering and exiting the ship that isn't too long... and having NPC crewmembers sit in my currently empty and lifeless cockpit would be a start.

As for the rest I'd much sooner FDev develop their previous additions, such as Powerplay, Multicrew, Crime & Punishment to actually add depth and value.

And from a gameplay perspective, revert the 1.5 changes to the FDL and reduce the impact of Engineering so it's still worthwhile but not quite so powerful as it is now. Maybe then PvP would be a bit more engaging and varied again.
 
Long hair.

You had to go there, didn't you?

I remember when the forum was ablaze with arguments about whether or not it was acceptable to implement in-game avatars, in ED, without the ability to have long hair.
Good times. :whistle:
 
I confess that I don't know a significant portion of the playerbase, but, for me, a significant number of the players I know (ok, both of them) do not seem at all bothered by any of the list given by the OP... Apart from 3rd Person play which is a big "NO!" from all of us.

Just for a future project I have in mind, how do I contact a significant portion of the playerbase to get them to support some of my more outrageous ideas, please?

Damn this video is so cool I forgot it. I want this too
 
Numbers 1 and 4 are essential for me - I've already drafted an open letter on behalf of everyone, to share my disgust if they don't appear.

I also feel we deserve a George Foreman Lean Mean Grilling Machine in the cockpit.

Mr Hat. This is the system authority speaking. We like to ask you a question to clear something up. First of all: congratulations with the purchase of out latest grilling pot cockpit model. We are just curious: why did you buy a cargoload full of imperial slaves with that?

Hahahaha! Well officer, I have been contracted to make certain acquisitions on behalf of a "crew" of certain persons. I have to note though that the slaves, and the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine, are purely coincidental purchases. I shall not be feeding the slaves any delicious Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine cooked products.

I hope this helps with my clearing customs?

Of course good sir. Good luck with your diplomatic mission in the Pleiades sector! By the way: you might want to shield off that caustic cargo rack. We can see what's in there. T's are rumored not you having those kind of items kindly. Those might set you back in your peace negotiation efforts.

Solid procedural plant generation using a myriad of inputs from stellar forge and surface map? Seems to instead be hard coded artist created assets?
 
Ummm...

Are they fairly low-fat slaves?

They soon will be if not already!

Fabulous advice there, thank you. Whilst the manifest says it's a negotiation mission, it isn't really, just don't tell the security guys down in the Pleiades!
 
i have a question for all of you.Isn't odyssey going to be delivered in packs? So how can you predict before it's even released?

For what we currently know about ED: O the list could be 45 pages of random tat dragged from a deranged imagination...
Of course, what the thread does do is enable yet more bleating about stuff never in the game whilst pretending that the OP knows everything that is in Odyssey..

And the console players to air their discontent once again too, I suppose.
