You're breaking all kinds of ground eh? Nice job and cool pics too.
I wish I had thought to take video of the whole sunset thing though. I was further out than the last picture above, on the top of a high hill and when I got out of the SRV to take pictures, I slid all the way down the hill...had to use my suit to get back up since the grade was way too steep. It took several tries and a lot of luck to get back to where the SRV was. Then, about 5 minutes after I got back in the SRV and left that hill, I was jumping a ravine, but my SRV integrity was below 50% and it exploded on landing. It was awesome!
Yeah! Odyssey has some really steep and bumpy terrain on some planets, and places that are really difficult to access.
I put both Improved Jump Assist and Increased Sprint Duration on my Artemis after encountering some areas that my SRV just could not penetrate (and my ship could find no landing spots -- and it's a DBX! Those things can land almost anywhere). Improved Jump Assist really helps in mountainous areas, and some of those darn biologicals seem to want to be at the top of steep ridges.
Fun stuff
I usually have OBS running with a 5 minute replay buffer for just that reason. At least I always can save the last 5 minutes of whatever I was doing. Unless I forget
PS I see that your name is the same forwards and backwards. Is there a story behind it?
what card you runing nvidia or amd?
if nvidia try GE force experience for short videos,
amd you can run this https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/radeon-software-gaming-media
oh and congrats on the accolades in ED
That's some wallpaper-worthy stuff!
Decided to get those lazors to G3 LR. Going Dweller again.
A Type-7 gets an automatic thumb up from me.
Back around Christmas 1996 or so, we did a gift swap at work and I ended up with a Mensa desk calendar. One of the puzzles was palindrome consisting of a group of seemingly random letters and the clue "A northern fruit". Of course I determined the correct answer "Nome lemon" (Nome being in Alaska).
A coworker had different ideas an said "I don't know, so I guess 'nemolomen'?". I've been using it as an online handle, and occasional D&D character name ever since.
I think Horizons had...ummm...more difficult terrain...mountain-wise. OTOH, I never had to traverse it on foot, so...

I have GeForce Experience and OBS. Had I not been panicking, I could have remembered to hit ALT-F9 to record, but I was panicking!!!
What was going through my mind while I was panicking?...
- Can I recall my ship on foot?
- Can I recall my ship if it is docked at the planetary port?
- I'm never going to make it back to the port without the SRV.
- Wow! This terrain is very steep. I keep falling back down.
- How much power do I have in my suit?
- Wow, the vertigo I feel while climbing these mountains is very realistic. My stomach is flipping.
- Oh, I'm never going to make it back to the SRV.
- Jump, booooooooost...fall...boooooost...fall....booooooost...fall...booooost...
- Oh, I made it. I'm at the top of the hill. I can see the SRV...two more hilltops away....down/up/down/up
- How much power do I have left. I still have the two spare power cells. Oxygen is OK.
- Oh, the vertigo....
- Whew, I made it back to the SRV...don't fall again...
My current desktop wallpaper is the last screenshot in this post...and is the only screenshot I've taken that I have used in that manner.

Well now, that's bizarre, because for some reason my inner voice always pronounces your name "Neo Lemon" even though I know it's Nemo Lomen. It still sounds like "Neo Lemon" in my head.
Yes, I think so too. I assume they had to normalize stuff a bit to allow for on-foot exploration. So we don't get quite the same terrain as we had in Horizons. Still, some of it is nearly impassable in an SRV, with no landing places.
LOL - Another forum denizen here has said he refers to me "in head" as 'palindrome guy'.Well now, that's bizarre, because for some reason my inner voice always pronounces your name "Neo Lemon" even though I know it's Nemo Lomen. It still sounds like "Neo Lemon" in my head.
It's a bit of a shame, tbh.
I hoped they would go the opposite direction. I think it would be cool if there was a terrain that would simply be too hard to navigate. Or even better - hard to navigate with extreme skill required.
So far most planets I visited were the Stellar Forge equivalent of political correctness.
I know what you mean. Still, overall I'm really happy with the new planets, especially the ones with landable atmospheres. Having a sky that's not just black is nice.Things look great from space, too, and more varied.It's a bit of a shame, tbh.

Sure. I don't want to sound like I'm only complaining. I do enjoy it overall.
I just sometimes wish the frequence of interesting things was a bit quicker, but that's mostly caused by my playtime - I've simply seen too many things.
I've rarely seen mountains in Ody. Not that I've looked a ton though. My 4 months of Explo was in Horizons...and ended about a month before Ody dropped...It's a bit of a shame, tbh.

Yeah, those are about the best I've seen in Ody. Though the planet of my boosting adventure did have some snowy mountain ranges off in the distance, in at least 3 directions from the port, but I didn't make it to any of them...
Horizons had mountain ranges like no tomorrow, but I do like the Ody landscapes/terrain features/atmospheres much better...
Just checked this out as part of discussions elsewhere and given how long the ready use tank took to empty at the displayed usage it has a capacity of 0.5 tons.
No wonder fuel vanishes so fast.
I just found this...
Ships - Reserve tank sizes for all ships
Fuel tanks The main tank We all know that our ships have one or more fuel tanks from which the frame shift drive draws fuel when jumping between systems. The amount of fuel available in these tanks is shown in a thick bar on the right of the HUD. When we plot a jump, a portion of that bar...
