Please can you give console an update on odyssey. And can you please look into the current "shield tank meta". Also allow engineering for special unlock modules like shock cannons. Ty.Greetings Commanders,
Post-Odyssey updates have reached double digits! In this round, we see a series of optimisation improvements and a large batch of fixes. At the time of this post (10:00 GMT/UTC), servers will go offline for approximately two hours while the update deploys.
Changes will come to both Odyssey and Horizons each listed in their own sections below. These will see some overlap in cases where certain changes are happening in both versions.
Odyssey
Optimisation
The following features have received optimisation improvements:
- Looking at/through glass
- Cockpit glass
- Galaxy and System Map functionality
- Avatar decals
- Forward lit VFX
- Planet fine textures
- Shadows
- Emissive rescaling
Rendering
- An issue causing artifacting on the local view in the System Map was fixed
Stability
- An instancing crash was fixed.
- A crashing when entering Supercruise following a low wake was fixed
- A crash caused by jumping to the permit-locked HIP 54530 system was fixed
Server
- On-foot actions will now update the Codex as expected
- On-foot ranks will now display their animation within inbox messages
- Rank animations will no longer display as a tier lower than intended
From the Issue Tracker
- Stars will no longer flash brightly in VR
- The Asterope system will resume featuring signal sources
- Polyporous growths on brain trees can be splattered once again
- An issue with teammate Navlock was fixed
- Deposit fragments will no longer get stuck inside asteroids
- Damage values on thermal conduits have been corrected to scale with ship heat between 90-150%, capped at 160%
AI
- AI will spawn at POIs in multicrew as expected
- Omnipol corruption was addressed: their mission-givers will no longer assign illegal missions
- Deceased NPCs can be scanned once again at offline settlements.
- Hostile ships will once again appear as such on the radar
Settlements
- Terminals are no longer obstructed in Shinrarta Dezhra
- Planetary port landing pads have an added force field effect
- Mining extractors no longer display flashing black squares
- NPC crew members will now retaliate when in the Defend state.
- Deceased NPCs will no longer cover the reactor console, preventing interaction
Character Animation
- An issue when running with the cutting tool was fixed. Although, our mothers still advise against it
Ships & SRVs
- SRV helm audio will no longer be replicated across crew members
- Deployed vessels will retain their ship owner ID as intended
- Camera angles for the livery screen on the Scorpion SRV were adjusted
- A detailing issues on the Azure paint job on the Asp Explorer’s was fixed
- Gold and black paint job colours were adjusted
- Ember paint jobs were adjusted
- Midnight Black paint jobs were adjusted
Interactions
- Gravity will be re-enabled at Guardian Sites so that caskets no longer float
- A quantum-physics issue allowing multiple players collecting the same item was fixed
Factions
The Pirate Attack faction state will now:
- No longer trigger when only criminal factions are present in a starsystem
- Temporarily make weapon commodities legal in most jurisdictions
- Cause factions to lose influence to criminal factions present in that starsystem
- Criminal factions will no longer experience active security states and their Security Points will lock at 0
- Odyssey settlements controlled by criminal factions will now prefer to export commodities (at the usual favourable pricing) that are illegal in other jurisdictions. Their exports will return to normal if control changes to other faction types
- Odyssey settlements that were incorrectly exporting Meta Alloys will no longer do so
- Incorrectly negative faction consequences when selling salvaged commodities for a relatively low value were fixed
- The Black Market station service will now activate when the controlling faction has an active Civil Unrest state
- Faction consequences from selling commodities are now based on satisfying available demand at the Commodity Market
Horizons
- You can now support a faction by buying commodities from it, based upon satisfying available supply at its Commodity Market
- When buying and selling, it's generally more positive to a faction to satisfy a higher supply and demand (green 3-bar icon) than a lower (red 1-bar icon), and it's generally more positive to trade more expensive commodities than cheaper ones
We hope you enjoy all of the fixes and improvements listed above. As always, please let us know if any of the issues persist and report any new ones on our Issue Tracker. Fly Dangerous and we’ll see you for Update 11!
- A crash when selecting the engineering panel from a ship was fixed
- A crash caused by entering the permit locked-HIP 54530 system was fixed
- Deposit fragments will no longer get stuck inside asteroids
- VFX for projectiles from the Remote Flak Launcher will no longer be too bright
- A crash during the tutorial was fixed
- Damage values on thermal conduits have been corrected to scale with ship heat between 90-150%, capping at 160%
- An issue causing the session log to be inaccessible was fixed

Please can you give console an update on odyssey. And can you please look into the current "shield tank meta". Also allow engineering for special unlock modules like shock cannons. Ty.

From the developers:
"No, emissive rescaling is the lighting and adaptive exposure - we're looking separately at fire performance as it's a particle effect."
Thanks for raising the issue of fog affecting framerates, we'll take a look.
Still no Panther Clipper (as expected). Since fleet carrier interiors are the headline feature in update 11, Panther for Update 12 ?

Hi Cori - no, this was a separate visual issue in the map view itself.
The Black Market station service will now activate when the controlling faction has an active Civil Unrest state
Does this mean that if you currently have the BM active in your controlled assets they will disappear until you get put into Civil Unrest Bruce?

No powerplay news is disappointing!
Oh, damn, forgot to switch to my Rubbernuke account
Seriously, hoping the optimizations are going to bring some decent benefits. Performance is still the main issue for a lot of people.
Looking forward to those fleet carrier interiors and happy to hear they are still on track for update 11.

Wanna play CQC while you update game ! Why can't we ?

Setting a bad example for younger Commanders everywhere.
Same because I have the promo one for all ships and run it on my most used ones with red engine smoke. I think it’s a great looking combo.
Let's go!

I hope so! We've listed this issue in the notes.
So, in order to support your local anarchy ... buy buy buy from their stations and/or settlements? And since they're now more likely to sell illegal stuff (apparently), you can then smuggle it into systems in the right BGS state and sell to black markets in stations where that market used to be disabled ... which will also raise the INF of the anarchists.
Sounds like fun times ahead.

To be fair, the longer they wait the more fixed and great it will be.

Ah thanks for getting back - I visited a settlement with fires present last night, and the framerate wasn't all that bad (it was in the small PWR building with just one room, during day-time), meaning I assumed it's not the fires themselves but whatever comes with it - could be the fog (and there's been posts around some 'killer' shader a few weeks ago that seems to cause extreme drops, I don't have it at hand now) or perhaps also the lighting (including the flashlight effects adding to it).
Does sound a little like "P-A-R-T- why? Because I gotta!" to me also. Grand times experimenting ahead!
