I decided to begrudgingly jump back in when it's all we have on consoles (while I've no interest in playing Elite or basically any other games on PC and on intention of buying a PC good enough to run it well, even IF I did want to)...
Of course (as I've said many places), I wish that Frontier would and still hope that they will release the game in full on "next gen" consoles, while adding everything they can to "last gen" consoles.
And while there's literally nothing new in it other than a "legacy" mode tag on the top of the normal unchanged mode select screen and of course, I'm very disappointed that we won't be part of CGs and Galnet anymore (would it kill them to give us, "legacy" specific CGs and Galnet?!
)...At the end of the day, it's just normal "old" Elite Dangerous and it's still playing just as well as it always did and I still have much to do in it, I still have several engineers to unlock and rank up, many ships to engineer, the Imperial Cutter still to unlock and many ships I either never bought or haven't touched in years, while basically the only ship I've ever engineered is my Anaconda main ship, which I'm still working on - when I finally unlock all the "bubble" engineers, and do whatever engineering I can, I'll finally make my first trip to Colonia and start working on the engineers out there...
THEN when my ship is the best I can make it, I think I'll finally brave Open play - if the PS4 and possible PS5 servers are still up by then!!
...Of course too, it'd be great to get ANY new content in "legacy" mode, even IF they "only" gave us the Scorpion SRV (which was wrongly available to buy and equip at Jameson Memorial recently, - and indeed that seems to be one tiny change the patch made, removing it from Jameson now, though some people still have them installed on their ships, but you can't actually deploy it!
), or if they finally let everybody buy the Cobra mark IV (which NPCs can fly on PS4, but we can't )...But all in, I still have lots to do in the game, but as said many times, some new toys would be nice and maybe, just maybe we'll get to play with the whole toy box again on some wonderful day in the future

For myself my console carriers have returned to the Bubble with about half a decade of upkeep each.
The PC Legacy carriers should be joining them though I'm having difficulty logging in to one of the ALTs.
Live Carriers are about to jump back, and see what's going on and if there's anything we can do about it.
Logged in this morning only to decommission my carrier. Worked fine. Now I won't ever visit it again, even though I'm now a billionaire once more.
I hope so. But I'm afraid after all Odyssey mess FDevs will be unable to meet quality requirements for consoles. (I bet it was main obstacle on this road).I decided to begrudgingly jump back in when it's all we have on consoles (while I've no interest in playing Elite or basically any other games on PC and on intention of buying a PC good enough to run it well, even IF I did want to)...

My upgrade was surprisingly seamless on Steam, but new war narrative is not my flavor... so I stay here in deep space exploration on good old EDH 3.8. At least until plug will be pulled for good. o7 folks.
So Horizons 3.8 better you think?
I really love this game, and I've played nearly 200 hours in the last month and it's been glorious (on Horizon 4.0 of course) but since yesterday's update I have to force quit the game with task manager because I'm stuck in FSD and the game is so glitchy it's almost unplayable. This makes me really sad... is the team aware of some of these issues and are they being addressed?
I still think Frontier were being way too strict about what was acceptable for Odyssey's performance on consoles - it's really strange that they never released any videos or had any public alphas or betas so we could decide for ourselves whether it was good enough or not!
I was just watching TheYamiks review of the Steam Deck and even though Elite isn't officially supported, he said the base game was totally playable on the system and though he said Odyssey wasn't playable, again his standards are too high when he generally builds high end PCs...
In one clip, he showed it running at 37fps, which is totally playable, as is anything over 30fps really.
While he said the system was only about as powerful as a PS4...
(We don't all need games to run at 5000 FPS to be acceptable!
)If that's the case, the PS5 will surely run Odyssey and 4.0 in its' sleep, while surely it should still be playable on PS4, but even IF we say it's only good enough for the PS5, Frontier should AT LEAST release the game in full on "next gen" consoles - They must hate money as all I and many others want is the game on PS5!!

Have you reported them on the Issues Tracker? or added to another one?
I think the next transfer won't be as nice as the one you missed...Thanks for the quick reply. Feeling sad, had over 500-600 hours grinding for space money, engineers, fleet carrier and reps. Hope ships, credits, engineers, reps and materials are atleast carried over because cant do all that grinding again. Until then back to star citizen
Just wondering, with the new Legacy vs. Live modes, the progress is tracked separately right? If so, can I reset my progress on Live while keeping my old progress on Legacy?
Yes. After "split" they are two separate independent profiles. I consider same step - reset Live profile because I not plan use it. War mess is just not for me.
if you are planning on not using it, why reset it? (in spite of yourself?) maybe you will be curious in the future and if you still have it you won't be staring over. it just seems odd
Just for cleaning stuff from Live universe. Better than leaving tons of space crap somewhere.
Edit: I plan to use Legacy for a long time, even up to end. Meanwhile I hope buy other title for my personal joy and get out completely. In Live thing drifts away from my expectances.
Edit2: Maybe you're right and it's worth the wait? It doesn't cost anything at all.

don't forget the war MAY (or may not) just be a phase in the story. the game may not always be this way.......
I loaded my 4.0 carrier with 20 billion credits and parked it outside the bubble for safekeeping. One day, if Frontier ever manage to fix all the things that keep me from playing it, it'll be there. Until then I'll be enjoying myself with my Legacy squadron.
Is this a semi-quit post?
Should one saloon door hit the poster on the way out?
Should the apparently gone Bottom Hat have half the posters stuphz?
U14 allows for new emergent nonsense
Not the first time I will be in the less than most category; I plan to at least maintain funds in my carrier's bank in the Legacy universe.
This will be interesting to say the least.
The Legacy universe also presents an opportunity to work a second semi-old school BGS without the interference from Community Goals, and influence from planetary CZ's etc, introduced with Odyssey.
