Seems strange not seen any issues myself.

I picked up some nice easy missions with some good rewards. 100k a piece for some cloth delivery and liquor.

It seems that the majority of people having issues are with bt broadband but the devs are saying the problem is not the isp but something within the game.

What's the story with other players? Is it always online and you can be destroyed by someone else playing and lose your ship, cargo, etc? I don't fancy that much.

It is always online and that can happen if you play in Open but you can play in Solo mode to stop it or if you want to play with friends Private group mode.

1.03 patch from yesterday or was it day before? Really made a difference for me. I'm on a non-pro and screen tearing was a little bad, latest patch seems to have fixed most of those issues for me.

Currently taking part in my first community challenge - shipping tech from one system to another. I'm in the "top 75%" for rewards, but aiming to get into the "top 50%". I can pick up all the stock I want two jumps away and ship it in.

I seem to just pick up a mission jump to base, hand in mission, rinse and repeat, I don't get attacked or see anyone else...

I was on long Jouerney in my ASP Explorer so i made sure i had a fuel scoop but I had few mishaps along the way my ship was overheating badly when trying to refuel. So I thought I would jump to the next system and scoop some fuel up but it was troll star that gave me no fuel

I ended up with 5% health and no fuel... luckily for me the fuel rats came to my rescue mr-tomazzz came in his Diamondback explorer and gave me enough fuel and some tips to get me to my final destination.

If your ever run out of fuel ask the fuel rates for help! awesome bunch of people : https://www.fuelrats.com

ha pretty crazy that you have people standing by to help you out. I am seriously tempted by this game. However, I bought No Man's Sky a couple of months back, sank 10 hours in to it and had no desire to return to it. Not sure how long my interest would be kept with this.

I love this game, but I loved the original back in the day. I love just going out into the middle of nowhere, finding a planet and exploring the sights.

Anyone still playing this on PS4. I downloaded it at first then played hour found it difficult and uninstalled. I am reinstalling it today.

Their is a lot of learn the game does not hold your hand thats for sure! I started off transporting goods but got bored, so I brought myself a Viper MkIII and now doing some community missions good way of making money.

Here are some videos that helped me out:

I occasionally boot it up. Warp a few systems. Tinker with my ship and load out. Occasionally swap it out for something different.

It truly is a game of epic scale. And some of the sights you can see are excellent. A lot of time is spent travelling though.. so if you’re not the patient type, it can get a little frustrating. There’s also a big grind with the engineers if you really want to be competitive in the pvp side of things.

I’d say it does have a steep learning curve, there is a lot to take in and you’ll find yourself needing to watch YouTube guides for some of the more obscure stuff like deep core mining. Just remember, never fly without a rebuy. If you’re new I’d also recommend an auto docking computer. It makes the whole landing process much easier for newer players.

Hey CMDRS o7

What are your thoughts on the Odyssey expansion/addition?
Personally I'm not really bothered, I dislike the planet surface based stuff anyway.

interested to hear what others think based on what we know so far

fly safe

I bought a lifetime pass back in beta, but haven't played it since launch.

Mobius 1 · 14 Jan 2021 at 16:36

Haven’t played this in ages. Might fire it up again when the new update hits.

You'll be waiting a while on consoles...

Greetings Commanders,

We wanted to share an update with you regarding the ongoing development of Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.

2020 was a difficult year for many, but in spite of those challenges we are pleased with our progress towards what is a truly ambitious new era for the game. We’ve been delighted with the excitement and positive response to our development diaries, interviews, streams and trailers and want to thank all of you for your continued support.

The ongoing impact of the pandemic however, including the renewed lockdowns in 2021, continues to put added pressure on our teams and ultimately our development timeline. We have therefore had to make the difficult decision to make some adjustments and changes to our existing development roadmap.

Our PC plans have only been affected by a small amount, however our plans for the console release will unfortunately see a larger development shift. Please do know that these difficult decisions have been made with a focus on making Odyssey as incredible as it can possibly be for all our Commanders regardless of their platform, while also respecting realistic project deadlines for our teams during this difficult global situation.

We would like to sincerely apologise to all of our community. We know you have been waiting patiently and how disappointing and frustrating this must be. With that in mind, we would like to share with you our latest roadmap so that you are fully aware of our plans.

Alpha – early spring 2021
We are continuing with plans to bring Alpha access to our PC players and get boots on the ground. This will now be a little later than originally planned, in early spring.

Much like our original Elite Dangerous release, we will be taking a phased approach to our Alpha, bringing new features and systems online throughout the period. This will allow us to focus and best consider our community feedback while also providing vital user testing on key areas of the game. We will be sharing further information including details of feature drops and Alpha plans as we get closer to release.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Deluxe Alpha and Lifetime Expansion Pass holders will get access to this release.

PC release – late spring 2021
Following the completion of our Alpha phase we are targeting a full launch on PC in late spring.

As with every era in Elite Dangerous’ history, we will be closely engaging with our community and continuing to react to feedback refining Odyssey through to the console launch.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey pre orders will be able to access the game with this release.

Console release – autumn 2021
After continued feedback, iterations and balancing, we are targeting our release on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One in the autumn of this year.

We understand that for many, this additional delay will be frustrating. Once again, we would like to apologise wholeheartedly to our community, especially our console Commanders. However, as mentioned previously, we feel it is vital to ensure that the content being released on consoles meets the highest standards and this will require this additional extension to our roadmap.

Throughout this time we will continue to bring more news, videos and content of the development in progress. We would like to thank you all for the ongoing support and we are very excited to bring in this new era to the game with you. Your feedback, support and involvement is a vital part of this process and we are looking forward to a shared Alpha experience, which will be touching down very soon.

o7 Commanders
