Volumetric tech hopes

Right now, Lagrange clouds can only be found in very remote places, and the only gameplay they house is for exploration and sightseeing. It would be nice to have the bubble populated with these, and lightning storms, and have some gameplay scenarios in them. I'd love to see an installation or outpost located inside.

I hope the volumetric tech isn't limited to Lagrange clouds forever though. I feel like a logical step towards denser atmospheric planets (with clouds and weather) after Odyssey would be gas giants. Some of these could have fuel scooping based on their composition, but also be inhabited with outposts that harvest gas in the upper atmosphere.

Honestly, based on the Odyssey game play revealed alone, I am beyond ecstatic for the future Atmospheric Landings Paid DLC (Paid because it will be meaty like Odyssey), with all the coming Odyssey game play loops and more transposed in those worlds. It's pretty mind blowing where this game is going, and I for one can't wait!

It would be nice to add wind, storms, and weather effects like the already existing lightning storms after Odyssey launches

Ever since David Braben did the Kickstarter video with the prototype cloud tech in the background, I’ve hoped that gas giants will eventually make it into the game.

I’ve recently been trying out War Thunder since it got its clouds upgrade - in VR it’s amazing stuff. All the time I’m flying around, I’m thinking what it’d be like in a Cobra III. This was me at dawn today in a Harrier, having a jolly around Kent:

It’s been a week now, and I still haven’t got past the “ooooooh” stage 😁

If it can be done for WT, it can certainly be done in Elite, surely. Gas giant play and atmosphere dodging would be a great addition, as well as weather when coming in to land on a planet. I imagine that if done properly, I could just spend ages sat in a cockpit listening to the sound of rain on the canopy...
