    The new terrain generation in action. This planet is partially frozen and partially rocky. And we finally get real mountains...

    oh this game can be scary

    Posted: 15 Apr 2021 01:29 AM PDT

    I'm not gonna question the instructions, but I've been here for 3 hours and still nothing has happened

    When I started playing this game over 4 years ago, all I wanted was to visit Sol for the first time and buy a Corvette. Today, I got to do both. It feels good, commanders; I finally made it home.

    Largest haul of my career!

    People in the alpha are showing off their commanders standing outside next to their ships for scale, here's my SRV in 2017 driving ontop of a (bugged) Farragut class battlecruiser that crashed on merope.

    We've had 1st and 2nd reverse mailman, but what about 3rd Person reverse mailman?

    I have fallen in love with this game.

    Posted: 15 Apr 2021 06:05 AM PDT

    I remember buying and downloading Elite dangerous a few years ago, I had no idea what the hell I was doing but it was a space game and I love space. I did the training and started flying around, did a few jumps and ran out of fuel, sat there for ages trying to figure out what to do and then died. I gave up in frustration.

    Fast forward to last weekend. I had ran out of games to play and was looking through my steam library and installed Elite. This time however I watched a quick beginners guide and figured out I need a fuel scoop. I played for about 10 hours straight on Sunday, and first thing Monday morning I ordered a HOTAS overnight shipping. I've been figuring out the key bindings and controls all week but today I tracked down and killed my first pirate and my god was it a rush. I also stumbled across a white dwarf and it super charged my FSD somehow and I jumped to a distant star, now I'm just bumming around the universe getting lost in this games beauty. The feeling of being out among the stars is a feeling I have never had from a game before and I can't wait to save up for a VR headset just to play this game.

    I think I'm going to try a planetary landing this weekend, and I'm excited, I bet I blow my ship up though haha

    Notes on Odyssey Alpha: The Genetic Sampler

    Posted: 15 Apr 2021 12:25 PM PDT

    Initial thoughts - generally a good starting point to polish and expand on. I may edit this to add other things and then post as issue/suggestions

    • There needs to be some more indication of what the hell you are initially meant to do. Eventually I figured out left mouse was a ping, hold right mouse to start the scanning release and then left click to lock in the rings
    • The ring completion can be very unnecessarily irritating, I think maybe the matching spinning thingie gets a little too fast with too short a window of opportunity especially on the last couple of rings - especially likely for older players (or lower spec machine framerates) without lightning reflexes of a teenage no scope one shot kill CSGO player.
    • The ping needs to give a longer range for the audible louder return "pong" directional cue on where to find the next valid genetically diverse part of a sample. Visually the range is fine, but if I could get a longer range audible cue on which direction to head to find more diverse samples that'd be cool and really useful (and would be similar to the audible clues for SRV rock searching).
    • There needs to be a clear warning that if you try to scan a different type of biological before fully completing the first type, you will 'burn' your existing progress on the first type. That was annoying for half a dozen attempts until I figured out what was happening
    • There is still the DSS green planet bug - scanning the planets does not look like the trailer which gives a nice blue tinge where the biologicals are likely to be. Just a near uniform green blob. This bug has been raised over a week ago and confirmed by many people
    • The FSS scanner still gives the number for Biological and Geological sites (as though they are targetable POI which they are not any more). Do those numbers now mean the abundance of individual types, the likelihood of finding any, or does this need to be fixed? A clue?
    • I have not been able to find any geological sites in any phase of alpha. Are they meant to be indicated by a colour on the (hopefully soon fixed) DSS scanner? At the moment that is just a mystery, again numbers are given but they are no longer targetable surface POI
    • Speaking of geology, I'd also like to see the new suit come with a geological sampling tool instead of the person scanner tool. If I am exploring out in the black it would be nice to also switch to sample rocks, and I'd not likely need to scan people out here. Give the science of geology some love dudes. I have more ideas on the actual gameplay there (kept within the bounds of not being too hard to implement), simple but rewarding.

    Microbial mats, grasses and larger plant/shroom-likes... Great to see this variety (keep it expanding over time) and gives good opportunities for sight seeing :)
