Will the "Big Red Button" be used to lauch Odyssey next week?

[Rat Catcher]

Seeing Dav wave it around during last week's stream had me wondering if it has been unearthed in readiness?

Could be quite fun to have a countdown to launch the biggest update so far

I remember him saying that every launch was done with the big red button. I saw an USB cable on it. Bet he has a script named "Order 66" that he runs with the button press to start the upgrading process.

OP, When you bought Odyssey, you should have received your "Big Red Button" in the mail or post.

It looks like this one.

If you did not get yours, contact Frontier Support and have them send you another.

You can't disembark without one.

I think Dav will have to build a robot arm that presses the Big Red button at his place when DBOBE presses his spacebar.

Ah but will he have a red button to start the robot arm that presses the red button......it's turtles all the way I tell you!

I'm not as bitter as some...

And really quite happy about Odyssey's content - YMMV, of course...

I'd expect no less of an insult from some, naturally.

I want live documentation showing only the red button for hours and at some point a fist coming down on it.

Another pressing question is...

In my best Sape voice "Minus 50 points to Gryffindor"

it looked big enough to be used by feet.

I only want a big red button if it has ship interiors
or if it destroys gankers when pressed
or if it has "I WIN" printed on it so I don't have to play
or if it changes the game to everything the forum wants (including opposing suggestions)
or, for me personally, if Billie Piper comes as a living embodiment of the button

The Brabster is going to slam his fist down on that bad boi button and the Panther Clippers going to roar overhead like some mighty space lion.

He's going to lifestream it and drop a 3D printed Panther Clipper on the button.

I have nothing to add but I don't want to be left out on the off chance this thread goes places.

Dav said the big red button has been used for all major elite dangerous releases. \o/
I think it should also set off fireworks go.

Someone should swap it for the bull button from "The last leg" without telling him

There was a big blue "Install" button for Odyssey in my launcher today. I clicked it. It didn't work. Gave an error.

It has gone now... Nice gold font too!

A fist? You jest, sir.

A FOOT should come down on it, from the clouds, with the sound of a raspberry as it hits, playing "The Liberty Bell" by John Phillip Sousa in the background.

A foot, sir, not a fist. We have to keep this … respectable.
