    Community Goal: Aegis Appeal For Guardian Artefacts (Gauss Cannon unlock as special reward)

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 08:09 AM PDT

    Community Goals • /r/EliteCG • Inara

    Ancient objects left behind by the Guardians have been requested by Aegis for a new anti-xeno research programme. The Guardians were an intelligent humanoid species whose civilisation collapsed over a million years ago, and who were engaged in hostilities with the Thargoid race.

    Professor Alba Tesreau, head of Aegis Research, gave this statement: "At the Galactic Summit, Aegis agreed to undertake a fresh analysis of Guardian technology. The hope is that this will lead to the development of more effective defences against the Thargoids. We therefore require new samples to compare with Ram Tah's groundbreaking work on this mysterious species."

    "Guardian artefacts including those previously identified as caskets, orbs, relics, tablets, totems and urns are needed. These can be unearthed from the ancient ruins scattered across dozens of worlds."

    Pilots are asked to deliver their shipments to Aegis Research at the Alexandria megaship in the Delphi system.

    If Tier 1 is reached, the top 75% of contributors will have Guardian Gauss Cannons unlocked and a fixed Class 2 Rating B Guardian Gauss Cannon placed into storage at the Alexandria megaship in the Delphi system by the 30th of April 3307.

    For the duration of this initiative, Aegis has organised for a Guardian technology broker to be present on the Alexandria.

    For each tier above Tier 2 that is reached, the technology broker will remain present on the Alexandria for one additional week.

    The initiative begins on the 22nd of April 3307 and will run for one week.

    If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

    • System = Pleiades Sector IR-W D1-55
    • Station = Alexandria
    • Objective = Guardian Relic, Guardian Orb, Guardian Casket, Guardian Tablet, Guardian Urn, Guardian Totem
    • Commodity List = Guardian Relic, Guardian Orb, Guardian Casket, Guardian Tablet, Guardian Urn, Guardian Totem
    • Current / Target = 0 / 400,000 (0.0%)
    • Expires = in 7 days

    Odyssey space FPS needs a lot more... SPACE.

    Posted: 22 Apr 2021 12:20 PM PDT

    I've posted this in the official suggestions forum as well, but here is a copy for the Reddit crowd. I think FDev is half-baking their FPS gameplay, in their usual idiom. Here are some big changes I would like to see before I drop my money on Odyssey expecting to fully enjoy it:

    https://preview.redd.it/03eiavq6zru61.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=390887ffab0be3521a8b666403e3a9482c92f156

    The combat in Odyssey borrows heavily from the combat mechanics in Horizons: shields and armor, energy weapons for shields, kinetic weapons for armor and soft targets, etc.

    Similarly, it would be very compelling gameplay if, while we were in stealth state, we were able to target specific "modules" on an enemy suit to disable the various subsystems and soften up the target. The buff tank baddies could be softened by stealth attacking them, disabling their shield generators at least temporarily and giving you a critical levelling of the playing field to take them out. You could take out their power unit, leaving them only with the power in their distributor's capacitor. You could target the O2 system, forcing them to run inside and seek the safety of a pressurized environment- effectively removing them from the fight.

    I would also love to see stealth attacks involving the vacuum, like puncturing suits, cutting O2 lines, smashing out visors, and leaving the enemy to the void for a quick silent elimination.

    Also, if I am in 1/3 gravity, I am going to bombard a base from about 2Km away with space mortars or snipe targets from a mile out because there is little-to-no bullet drop- before going in to clean up and complete objectives. I wold toss grenades by hand from 300m. None of this running in with an SMG and getting all up in the enemy's grill taking unnecessary risks. I would like to see the simulation aspect reflected in combat here!

    So many possibilities to explore in combat here, if FDev actually embrace the fact that we are fighting in space and can develop robust systems like this that reward player creativity beyond just dumping more or better ammo into a target faster.

    Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk. o7
