I landed on a planet that is apparently just warm enough that my Artemis suit somehow doesn’t have to spend power keeping me warm. The temperature is 182-ish Kelvin, so I’m guessing the Artemis suit is well-insulated like a parka.

Sod Jameson's. This is my new home base. Outfitting options are limited, and I'm stuck in dirty Fed space for now, but just look at this damn view.

The game might have its flaws, but the way it generates stuff - absolutely beautiful.

The sound design of this game never ceases to amaze me, those tubes sound like low pitched flutes.

Hutton orbital anaconda

Posted: 26 May 2021 09:52 AM PDT

I went to Hutton orbital and now I'm confused about how do I claim the anaconda

EDIT: After further research, I have come to the realization I have been tricked :(

Odyssey has been catastrophic for Anarchy factions across the board. Years of BGS effort has already been undone in the space of a week. There's absolutely no defence against the waves of negative influence pouring in from the new mechanics. Frontier have acknowledged the issue, showing that it is unintentional behaviour, so all that we can do is vote on it and hope something is done before it's too late.

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/35479

If you're not actively interested in the BGS the risk of losing access to IF facilities as well as the many other services and opportunities anarchies provide is very real.

Clearly Odyssey has a lot of technical issues that are drawing focus right now, but those will get fixed sooner or later. 6+ years of diligent BGS manipulation won't. I beseech thee, help your local naughty faction avoid complete annihilation with 30 seconds of your time.

Thanks

In an unexpected turn of events Odyssey gave me legitimate reason to fall in love with small ships once and for all

Posted: 26 May 2021 04:51 AM PDT

The expansion doesn't encourage or gratify the use of small ships per se. Instead there is just something off with doing on-foot missions in an Anaconda. Like: "let me just land my literal star destroyer next to your settlement real quick so I can get out and shoot you with my little rifle". I mean the weapons on that ship are as big as a bus.

And since most of the new gameplay happens on planets or in the concourse, being able to comfortably navigate (in a cobra for instance) and having the ability to land on outposts further encourages the use of small ships. Besides not having to run half a mile from your ship to the elevator is nice to say the least.

Flying in my cobra or dbx feels nice and for the first time in a long while the smallest ships don't feel like a handicap to me anymore. I flew them before don't get me wrong, but now their use is legitimate from the games perspective if you know what I mean

I signed up to do [this] job, and you agreed to pay me {this} much for doing it. Two minutes after I accept the job, you ring me up and say "by the way, you now have to deal with <this> as well".

Yeah nah get fucked. I don't care if you're offering extra, but I signed up to restore power and put out some fires. I do not want to deal with a dozen pirates using swarm tactics and ten thousand grenades. Yes, I see that it says optional, but I'm not a fucking ninja, there's no way in hell I'm going to spend half an hour trying to avoid detection while I run around this entire settlement. But nooooooo, if I decline, I get a fine or a bounty, which is complete horseshit.

In horizons, the extra parameters were 'get there within the time limit' or 'pirates comin at ya', the latter being a case where you could just run from them. But saying "if you kill these guys, I'll give you a bonus payout" then putting those guys in my god damn path, you're not really giving me a choice.
