SalmoneaAcording Elite previous game the first encounter, there was two factions of thargoids. Oresrians and Klaxxians. Oresrians was peacefull and they called Klaxxians animals. They was loosing war with them. So they made alliance with humankind. On planet Earth they had trading post in Antarktica and in Polaris system headquater. I think everything went wrong when people started use them like lab rabitts for development of ax military industry against Klaxxians. So not to much Oresrians left. What if orthrus interceptor was Oresrian. It had half human modules. Because they shared tech with humans. Also thargoids atacked him In first thargoid war were not interceptors. Only scouts. When thargoids returned, they had new bigger ships. What if some last Oresrians wanted develop their own interceptors with help of Palin. That also makes sence why Palin left federation. Because federation was in contact with Oresrians first before alliance.


from Anti-Xeno Initiative Wiki:

During a ‘Let’s Play’ Livestream, Community Manager, Stephen Bendetti confirmed that the Orthrus was a mistake and not intended to be in the game.
“Just a bug” Video: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/533401140 Timestamp: 41:15 (Unfortunately the clip is no longer available.)
Frontier Developments Developer “KSE” has confirmed “the Orthrus was never meant to appear in the game” confirming it is no longer canon in the storyline.

I dont trust him. For a bug it was good programed and designed.

2. I'm a Horizons player for now as I doubt what I'm running could handle Odyssey (I have lots of RAM but only a bog standard graphics card so I have to set my graphics very low): is it worth getting one at all?


3. EDO is hard on both CPU and GPU.


Yeah, true, but that's mostly for the on-foot stuff.
Sure, every first-Person stuff has a pretty tough impact; but the vast majority (SPACE f.e.) is quite manageable.

gpu is more stressed than cpu, my old gfx card was nearly all time hard used (stressed) at gaming on ground, around 90-100% but my new gfx didn´t reach that level, very rare. around 60-70% stressed at max. same for the cpu. so yes it´s worth to have a good gfx, game is running so much better.

OK smarty pants, can you answer this question:

Why would one buy EDO if not planning to play on-foot as client 4.0 is around the corner for Horizons' players?

The only screenshot feature Horizons players will miss is atmosphere colour layer.

I dunno;
praise Lord Braben, spend money and invest in ARX!

No seriously, with Horizon 4.0 announced, you're probably right...
But it's not quite here,is it?!?
Anyways nevertheless, with or without 4.0, EDO is getting kinda better every update, and running quite smooth and stable now.
Even if FPS Combat might be too heavy for old machines;
there's still lots of stuff to do outside resource heavy activities.

We both might not quite like it, but I know some people who absolutely love Exo-Biology.
Things like that should still be working. Even on older machines.

I don't know man. Taking selfies with space cacti is quite epic.

Bainsey73 questions if you don't mind:

1. What's the weekly cost of a fully outfitted fleet carrier after buying the thing? I'm considering it but I already have a job.
2. If I were to leave the game for a while and decommissioned it is there a penalty?
2. I'm a Horizons player for now as I doubt what I'm running could handle Odyssey (I have lots of RAM but only a bog standard graphics card so I have to set my graphics very low): is it worth getting one at all?


1. 34.95 mil per week https://cmdrs-toolbox.com/fleet-carrier-calculator
2. Yes. There is penalty - for details https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/fleet-carrier-faq.547219/
3. EDO is hard on both CPU and GPU. If you do not cover the recommended hardware requirements for GPU and CPU better do not bother.



Thanks man o7

Probably a lot of overwrites in other areas so they need to swap a lot of code. Remember, 12GB in the olden days was an entire hard drive worth of amazing games. Now it is just a single hotfix.
