It would be a potentially cool idea to have missions inside space stations. Whether that's on-foot combat inside them, espionage/stealth missions to do something undetected in them, or even just mundane things like "go to the laboratory of a high tech station and drop off a package".

However, that would require FDev to create significant new map assets for space stations beyond just a concourse, so it's not a simple thing and may be the kind of content that requires another expansion.

Also, it'd require the players to accept the idea that if a space station is in a war state, they're going to lose access to it like if it were damaged. Personally? I wouldn't mind if stations could be put in a damaged state by combatants in a war, or if they could be put in a state where they're an active war-zone that is hostile to the non-controlling faction. But it would still be a big disruption for anyone who just wants to drop off cargo or run unrelated missions.

I wasn't thinking of it replacing the concourse, so players could still access that. Just the addition of a mission area as well, a twisty maze of interior passages and rooms or similar. But yes, if it happened at all that would likely be a future expansion.

Oh yeah, I'm not necessarily thinking gunfights on the concourse. But if a major firefight broke out on a station, it wouldn't make sense for the station not to go into total lockdown, you know? I know they're cities in space, but they only really have one entrance/exit for ships to bring you in, and if the station's security knows that there are people on the station who are attacking it, the first logical step they'd take is shutting the mailbox.

You could maybe hand-wave this for something like an assassination mission or a stealth op gone wrong. But if there are missions that are equivalent to combat zones on stations? Ones where your objective is "get inside the station and attack it"? It would be very weird for you to contact the control tower and casually leave after that. It would make a lot more sense in something like a war state where the station is being damaged from the outside or something and can't shut the door on attackers (or insta-kill them with the station's anti-ship weaponry).

Anyway, food for thought.

Just wondering if there's been any announcements or plans for fixes to some of the obvious things, like having no access to the mode selectors so we can chat, view contacts, wave or O7 folks while seated? I cant imagine that it's intended to remain as is.

It was mentioned in last night's Frameshift Live. They are aware about the community wanting account transfers from console to PC, about not being able to do anything while sitting, the limits of the bartender, and that maybe it would be a good idea to let the captain use the panel by the seat for something. No answer per se, but they are aware and looking into it.

One question:

Why do the quality degradation options have to be ON by default?
I missed the patch notes as I came back to ED after a few weeks and I thought I was either going crazy or my RX 6800 XT was dying - the planet surface was super ugly and pixelated (even at 1440p it was painful to look at).
Instead of using what little precious time I have to actually play the game I spent the time trying to figure out what was causing it.

Could we perhaps NOT have graphics degrading options on by default?
Seriously, the same story was with Fidelity CAS. When introduced it was enabled by default and players were suddenly having blurred image and whatnot.
At least give players some heads up directly in game. Not everyone has the time to go through all of the patch notes every time :(.
Or better: Do not change the settings for worse.

I personally would like to see the first expansion to station/port interiors to be that the main concourse is open to everyone but every faction has it's own suite, this would allow rep/influence to play a part in accessing those areas, with them opening up to commanders who are, say, friendly and above. It's there where the espionage type missions will reside, away from they prying eyes of the other factions, with the potential for missions to target these areas for assassination/espionage type things as well. Also the 'psst' type mission providers can reside there and not be so in the open as they currently are. This way you could also get to meet and greet all the people that otherwise appear in the pictures, employing dialog trees that can assist develop your rep/influence and give a more personal feel. These folks can be targeted for espionage too.

And another bugged mission: Extermination of scavengers with target missing (17/18). This is for me today 2/5 missions I tried which is bugged and cannot be finished and above that one had secondary objective unfulfilled because of missing scavenger (again). @Bruce G I really apreciate look of FCs interiors, but so much problems with Odyssey missions is not good. And these issues with missing targets were repeatebly reported for months already.

Bartender inventories: We need a better way to find materials for buying/sale. For a start, is it possible to put them in the player journal on dock, not just in the FC CAPI endpoint, like a regular market?

Note posted at 17:00 - Fleet Carrier jump times have greatly increased. This is a deliberate queue-management feature built-in as a server safeguard. We expect many Commanders are jumping simultaneously to experience the jumps from the inside! We expect a return to normal levels once this initial spike in excitement dissipates.

For anyone unable to Disembark on their Fleet Carriers, please trying re-logging and restarting the game client. Apologies to anyone inconvenienced or unable to resolve the issue this way. We are aware and investigating.

PATCH NOTES

Greetings Commanders,

Update 11 has arrived! Since Elite Dangerous’ inception, Commanders yearned to stand and walk on planets throughout the Milky Way which Odyssey has delivered. Now it’s time to sit down once again, put those feet up, and enjoy one of the most glorious views in the game from the inside: a Fleet Carrier jump.

This release also brings a range of fixes and features including the brand new Protect mission type. If you’re up for the challenge, these missions will demand more of Commanders than previous types. Read all about them and everything else in Update 11 below:

Fleet Carriers
Interiors have been added to Fleet Carriers to enjoy on-foot. These include:

Main Areas
  • A main concourse and hangar lobby.
  • A Command Deck with an additional area for the owner and their Wing.
  • A seating area for safe Fleet Carrier jumps.
Optional Areas & Services
  • Bar
  • Vista Genomics service desk
  • Pioneer Supplies store
  • Shipyard access point (included with the Shipyard service)
Other Fleet Carrier Changes
  • On-foot access to the shipyard is now available (added automatically if the Shipyard service is enabled).
  • Service tariffs can now be set individually, allowing control of each service’s costs (Universal Cartographics and Vista Genomics do not use the tariff system).
  • The Fleet Carrier Livery has been moved into the same environment as Outfitting.
  • The Fleet Carrier Livery now includes a number of concourse themes.
  • A small amount of random delay was added for landing pads retracting during jump prep for aesthetics.
  • The Fleet Carrier section of the Pilot's Handbook now describes new features and how to use the new bartender functionality.
  • A lack of notifications for Fleet Carrier jumps until 10 seconds beforehand was fixed.
Sitting
It is now possible to sit in all chairs and barstools found on all concourses (albeit one at a time).

Missions
  • New “Protect” missions ask Commanders to defend against criminals attacking delivery routes. These missions pose a new challenge in both combat difficulty (teammates recommended) and time-response required. To account for these, factions will offer higher sums than usual.
  • Fixed an issue where missions could be repeatedly abandoned to produce a strong negative influence on the faction offering.
  • Fixed an issue with shared missions not displaying correctly when in a failed state.
  • Changed the settlement mission givers’ compass icon to match the concourse mission giver icon to distinguish between new missions givers and existing mission targets.
  • Fixed a legal Collection mission asking you to collect an illicit item. Naughty.
  • Fixed some incorrect text in a Sabotage mission.
Settlements
  • Added the new cargo loader used in the new Protect missions to various settlements.
  • Fixed a control point being inaccessible at a specific settlement type during Conflict Zones.
  • Fixed corpses clipping through the floor.
  • Added and adjusted ammo crate positions to improve distribution.
  • Floating consumable boxes were brought back down to Earth (or relevant body).
AI
  • The on-foot friendly-fire system has been extended to include turrets, skimmers, and ships.
  • Attacking an enemy dropship can no longer cause a friendly settlement to become hostile.
Combat
  • Fixed an issue in multiplayer whereby throwing a grenade consumed multiple grenades (that didn’t seem fair).
  • Slightly reduced how much power the Scorpion’s Surge Repeated consumes allowing for longer runs of sustained fire at full accuracy.
Codex: Pilot’s Handbook
  • The Fleet Carrier guide was updated to include the new concourse services and functions.
  • Missing images when accessing some articles via the Insight Hub were replaced.
Codex: Knowledge Base
  • The following articles have been added:
  • Aegis
  • The Consortium
  • Generation Ships
  • Pilots' Federation
  • Several entries under “Corporations”
  • Ishmael Palin’s entry was updated.
  • The Guardians section saw a terminology correction.

  • Multiple hitcheck issues on legacy planet settlement objects were fixed.
  • Ship landing gear was adjusted to render more pleasingly.
  • The door glass shader in Agricultural settlements was adjusted to tint glass correctly.
  • Electricae scatter assets now have been subtly colour-adjusted, using LUT data from the planet surface to recolour them.

Just noticed another bug with the bartender; in management it says '3 items sold' when it should be '3 purchase orders'. I ain't selling stuff there I'm offering to buy stuff. Should be listed as a purchase order.

Why are we still bugfixing Odyssey for FDev at this point?

Dear CMs, just in case this one flew under the radar. Not gamebreaking, still weird.

Anyone experiencing invisible planets in SC until you get very close to it?

The planet is not visible until about 5-2 Ls. Please add to the issue if you have the same problem. https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/48765 Invisible: And suddenly visible: The problem seems to be in different handling of planets in SC in Horizons vs Odyssey. Here is the...
