I have to say that this "Alpha" build is a darn sight more stable and playable than any of the previous Betas were. Definitely worth getting if you can stretch to it and therefore getting used to things before the launch of Odyssey, all these mistakes, deaths and pure dead embarrassing willie-ups taken care of and not reflecting on your main game when it comes.

Yeah, I haven't died this much in a long time.
Did a power-up mission, and after getting power going I ran about taking everything that I could find. Nothing was flagged as illegal until I found some data to download, but I downloaded it anyway. I mean, the base was empty, so...no worries, right?
Seems that the powered-up base, while still unoccupied, did have some skimmers. I scanned one and it came up as hostile to me (maybe because of the downloads?), but it didn't attack. So I called in the taxi.
The taxi was attacked on sight, much to my surprise.
I wound up having to hoof it way outside the base and call the taxi from there so that it wouldn't get close to the base!
I love those kinds of wrinkles in a game. At least I didn't die on this occasion, lol.
But I have died plenty. There are many lethal surprises in the alpha, and I hope they don't dumb them down too much.
I was just thinking, if the taxi storage system is to be added/purchased to your ships in the full game.
If a materials tab was added then material trading could be a thing, selling to the bar or black market.
or an additional raw trader in the concourse area. I should stop thinking it getting late here ....

Hmm.
I used the terminal in the hab building to find my container and it duly put a locator on my compass. Still couldn't find it By this point, suit power was low in a hostile atmosphere. Had to call a taxi (finally figured that out!).
So, back to Horizons for a break.
EDIT
It struck me just now as I was messing around with the free camera, that a Mamba's engines reminded me of something.
Perhaps it's just the way my brain works.

Well, looking at the lists people have put together for the ground locations in the Odyssey system... Wow.
If these are the kind of numbers we can expect to see in the full game, there will be no moaning about travel times from me! Small compact Anarchy system, short distances... Scavenge!

Don't suppose you have a link? My searching is coming up with nothing....Well, looking at the lists people have put together for the ground locations in the Odyssey system... Wow.

Don't do it, Wip. You are my father. I know there is good left in you.

Why are people raving about the Apex Taxi travel times?
Just something I've been wondering. Isn't it completely optional (curiosity) thing to do; if someone for whatever reason doesn't feel like using their own ship? Aren't people going to use their own ships to travel as per usual once the final version drops, anyway. Take an on-foot mission, land...
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood!
I've seen those and thought you meant some folks had put together a map of every single base in Adityan!

down to earth astronomy - a youtube channel - has a discord server, where they put together lists like this - as well about materials and their values, building and room types and what is to find there and so. i don't know any more specifics about it though.Ah, sorry, I misunderstood!

Nice! Thanks!

Just completed my first Odyssey mission!
In it, I learned three things: 1) how to recharge the suit; 2) night vision doesn't seem to work; 3) you can't sprint forever.
Still, I have just over 100kCR which is nice.

2 - It is a suit modification and those are not enabled yet.
I think (not 100%, but pretty close) NV is a suit upgrade!
Well done on your first mission - the first of many!
Aha! Thanks CMDRs!
Argh! Spec Ops. I'm nicely working on a Clipper when those four dudes ride into town and I have to get the hell out of Dodge. Their attacks seem even more reliable and vicious now that I'm down to 'unfriendly' with the enemy. I feel like I'm on a hit-list. I try to run into the nearest patch of green I can see but if I've taken substantial hull damage I normally give up the battle. What to do, leave town for good, summon up my Vulture and go Low? Or something else?
EDIT
The medium CZs are not survivable for me at this point. Lows are working though, with Pythons, Clippers and Cutters spawning.

After completing the tasks, day light robbery is a must do , so I always run like I stolen it back to the taxi.
Cause I did....
Grats! The first one is the hardest. You just need enough for the Maverick suit, after that it gets a bit easier. Anyway, you're hooked now
So, yesterday I had a near-fatality when the station started firing on my taxi. Escaped with 16% hull and no shields. After that I started running farther outside the base before calling the taxi, just in case.
But today I discovered that I could turn off the alarms and defenses from inside the security area. Pretty cool, to just run across it.
Phase 2 will be interesting. I wonder if they'll be releasing it this week?
