    Odyssey - So the game finally clicked for me last night

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 03:38 PM PDT

    I'd been getting pretty frustrated with the loop of 'get in Apex, wait forever, reach settlement, die immediately', and I almost stopped for the night, maybe even till the next Alpha phase. But... I exercised some patience, made some informed decisions, and did one last mission. This is what happened.

    Got the Maverick suit, which is pretty much required for doing anything interesting on foot. Remembered to bring extra batteries, because I knew I'd be using my tools a lot. Picked an 'find item at empty settlement' mission, but expected to find hostile NPCs there, so I also bought the biggest assault rifle I could find.

    I touched down on the planet, and immediately went into scout mode. It was pitch black on the surface, so I looked for any enemy NPCs flashlight beams. Sure enough, their flashlights gave away their positions. Using the rooftops to my advantage (night + lowgrav + jetpack = I'm the goddamn Batman) I easily crept up on a couple of them, then zapped them with the overcharged Energylink. Bam, instant silent takedown. Kills your suit battery, but that's what the extras are for.

    Long story short, the rest of the session was me playing cat-and-mouse with the enemy squad. They eventually spotted me, so I had to use my wits to get around their flanks and away from their killboxes. Ran out of ammo and batteries pretty frequently, so stumbling across refill boxes for both saved my ass multiple times. One by one, I whittled down their numbers until the whole squad was dead, gaining relatively hefty bounties for each kill.

    I never did find the item that the mission required, and soon ran out of suit battery searching for it, and soon after that ran out of oxygen. Side note: Dying of cerebral hypoxia in this game is, quite frankly, terrifying, and I do/don't recommend trying it.

    So I failed again. The difference was that this time I actually had fun doing it. It felt fair. It felt like something happened in a universe with a story, not just a player in a video game fucking up a mission. And this is only the "alpha".

    Anyways, stick with it, I guess. I know everyone's got their issues with the current phase, and a lot of it is legit criticism, but for me, this single experience justified my alpha purchase, and as long as 1.0 delivers more of the same, it'll probly stay that way.

    Odyssey vs. Horizons up close ship comparison (DBX & Anaconda)

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:39 AM PDT

    Played as a kid and still playing 30yrs later

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 02:43 PM PDT

    I see it now, I get it..... Ooooo frontier what have you done?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 01:18 PM PDT

    OK so the first 8 missions I failed and died...... I got annoyed.

    Then I looked at it again, and changed my mindset.

    My suit is a Sidewinder, I'm not taking my Sidewinder into battle, I never did when I started.

    When I started I did my delivery missions, got some bank, and moved up.... Cobra... Vulture... Python.... Conda.... Corvette.

    That's what I'm doing now. I'll deliver stuff and then I'll do some stuff in abandoned settlements, I'll get better, stronger, faster and harder and then I'll go back....... Ooooo ill go back and they will know my name.

    To the Newbie who mined Osmium and sold to my Carrier

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:54 AM PDT

    You saved me from having do one of my least favorite tasks in the game, thank you kind soul! ...But, I hope my max price buy order didn't make you think mining more Osmium was a good idea for money in general. If you're reading this post and you sold 40 Osmium to a carrier over three separate runs, let me know! I'm happy to help you get more CR for your time. Carrier name was Heart Of The Tempest.

    o7 CMDRs!

    You think the walkable area in the station is big? Here it is, next to a large landing pad. One more reason to be even more excited to see the big 3!

    One of the craziest experiences in this game. Also, I hate myself for not realizing that steam message was there....

    [Odyssey] Arthur confirms on stream that Carriers currently NOT getting social hubs

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:44 AM PDT

    He also stressed that the Alpha is a part of the development lifecycle designed to get player feedback, and big changes like this are best registered early.

    So with that in mind, here's my use case for why I'd like to have a social hub model for Carriers, even if it's not at launch.

    - I'd like to be able to hand in my genetic findings from on-foot exploration whilst out in the black
    - I'd like to be able to visit carriers without owning a suit (or, when stranded on a planetary surface, I'd like to be able to go to my carrier to rebuy it, espec if it's already in orbit)
    - I'd like to be able to sell suits and weapons to other players
    - I'd like to be able to refill my on-foot consumables (like refuel and rearm)

    ^ These are all services I'd happily maintain on my carrier for my own convenience, and for my squadron friends.

    v These are my pipe-dreams

    - I'd like to have the local factions' mission givers be represented here (with a fallback of hand-in to a the appropriate starport if the CMDR moves their carrier)
    - I'd like to see the owner's squadron information on the terminals for their carrier
    - I'd like to see the owner's squadron's public announcement posts on the terminals for their carrier
    - I'd like to see the named NPCs I have on my carrier physically represented
    - I want to see the carrier jump animation from the inside (I am aware of the complications surrounding instancing)
    - I want the carrier management interface to be extended onto owner & wingmate only area - a bridge where I can issue the executive command level orders directly.

    ​

    Regardless of what form it takes, I strongly want to see the biggest game-changing component of Vanilla/Horizons/Beyond be integrated with Odyssey. And I'd like to make that a prominent point of discussion here and on the forums so the Dev teams hear us, and make it a priority for future content patches.
