Couple that with playing with the cockpit cat! We could get a string mini game!
Time frames on pulling the plug?
- Thread starter jojje
- Start date
Litter tray cleaning, food dispensing (and finding out what the fussy sod likes to eat) sound incredible.
Exactly. I don't own all the current ships. I don't need any more.
The only thing I'd maybe like is modular shipkits, so I could pick and mix and make my ship look more unique but keep the same stats.
Big ships always handle like the Titantic. That's the point of them
Re. Gutamaya, they're a company that makes combat and multirole ships: "It specialises in producing combat and multipurpose ships known for their sleek, elegant designs, and is the primary supplier of ships for the Imperial Navy."
Re. Saud Kruger make luxury ships, not freighters
How would a large pad ship transport small ships to a system with only medium and small pads?
Whatever FDev decides to release.
There is no everything game. It is pointless to wish for stuff that makes up whole other games. Games work best with their core ideas and not with something tacked on that has little to do with the rest. You wanna play a shooter, go play a dedicated one - you'll get more mileage. Wanna have the everything game? Look at Star Citizen and a decade of failure.

I think the plan is to try and tighten the disconnect between the two. Now Consoles and 3.8 aren't an issue, it means they can finally do more joined-up space and on-foot stuff.
That's what dredgers are for...
As much as I'd like to see new ships I'm more interested in utility versions of SLFs (obviously they would be called something besides fighters), particularly a mining SLF with an abrasion cannon. Even if it could only be flown by a human and not an NPC crew, it would make core mining both more involved and less tedious, giving players an option besides trying to maneuver around and shoot the chunks with their giant ships. It would make a fun option for multicrew mining too.
Besides mining, some kind of shuttle that could be used maybe to dock at outposts from large ships, but with limited docking options, e.g. only allowing for refueling (maybe only partial refueling, as much as the shuttle could ferry back, like 1-2 jump's worth), contact usage (e.g. turning in bounties), mission board (plus disembarking).

I don't know if this was covered previously (TLDR, and I'm sleepy), but seems like as long as Braben is around his "oldest child" will be. But once he's gone... I'll set an example right here for you to ponder:
Braben; Now that the last of my cash has been loaded in to my boot (??), I'll be off then. tah tah! <sound of car door shutting, engine starting, then vroom vroom>
(Cut back to a conference room full of stuffy suits, tea and biscuits)
Accountant #1; OK, how much is Odyssey bringing in versus how much it costs to keep those servers running?
Accountant #2; murphlemuckbillta <gag> (mouth still full of biscuit)
Accountant #1; OK you are no help. Someone else, how much are we paying Sally because the community loves her so dearly?
Right then everyone shoves biscuits in their mouths so they don't have to answer...
See? so as long as Braben is around, all is good.
I'm off to bed now, my next missive will be AFTER coffee.

Hopefully I'll understand the next one.
Are you saying Sally isn't paid enough?
I'm pretty sure that Braben will put us, the forumers, in charge of
He has even already decided on the office plan.I'm pretty sure that Braben will put us, the forumers, in charge ofEliteFDev when he'll retire

There's at least two further updates after this. The game very much isn't being pulled.
4k players isn't really that bad especially with p2p and no need to pay for bigger server infrastructure. I kept playing a game which peaked at around 1.5k players for years and it was enough to pay for servers, dev team and release new content. I'm optimistic but I'd rather see more DLCs and other content more often obviously...
