Will Odyssey let us walk around in places like this?

[Franc Kaos]

The thing is not walking around it's doing stuff, otherwise it's 15 minutes of "OHHHhhhh...that's luuuvvly" then you never go back inside he domed forest-world interior that took 1000+ man-hours to put together and integrate.

I'd do it for free and give it to Fdev to incorporate (and I'm betting thousands of other potential modders would too), but Fdev won't let us.
Also, that's maybe true of you and many others (not going back), doesn't mean other players wouldn't. I was always getting out of my chair and walking around stations, eva-ing around ship hulks in X4 - not much to do there, it was just enjoyable.

Nope, your gonna be able to walk around the hub, not all of stations/outposts.

Then there will be outside on planets which will be free roam.

Then there will be the settlements- which will be predefined (or somewhat generated) "dungeons"

Has there been any chat about caves? Would be fabulous to be able to explore procedural caves and tunnels in these new planets.

Doubtful.

Odyssey’s on-foot component seems entirely pitched toward FPS pewpew, rather than fleshing out or deepening the existing game experience. That’s why we aren’t getting ship interiors.

Basically we just seem to be getting new, bespoke environments for on-foot activities that will be grafted onto existing locales. A bit like how CQC has its own space structures rather than using the original game assets that existed at the time.

We can only hope that, just as the CQC stations were eventually incorporated into the main game, hopefully the existing interior spaces will be incorporated into Odyssey.

I'm not sure what any of this means, but it doesn't seem related to Odyssey.

It’s all Greek to me...

 

[Hopix]

I'd love to be able to walk around and explore the whole station.

but what would you do when the draugars attacked?

He obviously missed both dev diaries.

Had to Google that one . Undead monsters guarding caves full of loot. Not what initially expected for elite but hell we have enchantments disguised as engineered weapons and lasers of healing.... So why not. In for a penny and all that. It could be fun

Not seen any, and unless we see some in the next dev diary- I'm not expecting any.
The planet gen has been updated, but not reworked to the point that can implement caves (unless you mean something like the Thargoid bases, which aren't really caves!)

Caves would be cool but only if they Are seamless!

I want the "Prometheus" feeling minus the stupid scientists!

I want to explore vast cave systems.
I want a thargoid to jump on my hired crews face.
I want to stow him and rush him back to the USS INTERIOR.
I want to be in super cruise as the thargoid escapes. We play a round of warzone gulag>it loses.
I casually lean against the corridor; taking a puff staring into space.
Thinking to myself, I just avoided a costly setback having gamble last night and squandered the rebuy....

I'd dial back the coal in your hype-train.

I am leaning that way too but the optimist in me is hoping still.... Not expecting miracles but (cartoon visuals aside) NMS does it really well..... Only thing there they are so common as to lack excitement .

To late, it’s off the rails now... CHOO CHOO
