DETERMINST

Oh the Odyssey hype is real!!! Honestly, I was really bummed out to know that Odyssey was only available for PC with no PS4 access until later in the year. I was envious of anyone who played on a PC and felt that it was unfair. And then I watched experienced commanders struggle though the Alpha and sit on the shuttle for endless minutes and I though.... Hey its OK, that could have been me and came to the conclusion that I still had so many things to achieve in Horizons that Odyssey was rather a distraction at the moment and that I was actually glad I still have plenty of time to get through some Horizon goals.When I got back to the bubble I have some very clear goals as you can see in my last post. A Federal Corvette was right at the top of the list so Im happy to report that I ticked that box and I am now a proud owner of a Vette. She is called Determinist and she is glorious. I made sure I had everything I needed to buy the ship and get the modules I wanted so I would not have to go a grind credits so My 1.3 Billion credits too a knock when I purchased her and then of course I had to get the engineer right.... that took a minute. I had not unlocked all the engineers I needed and I had to do some mat gathering, mostly manufactured. But all in all t was far less of a pain that previous grinds. Yesterday Determinist made her first foray into a combat zone and it was incredible. I destroyed 14 or 15 other vessels without a scratch. It was impressive and so much fun. if you have read my previous posts you will know I have stayed away from combat deliberately until I got the right ship, Im so glad I did that!
So next is figuring out combat bonds which at the moment Im having no luck with but I will get there. Once I've unlocked the final engineers its on to the grind for Combat Elite. I know I have to do some Thargoid Scout combat to do this relatively quickly but that's all part of the fun.
In the meantime I will keep watching the various streams from commanders entrenched in Odyssey. Who knows it may be another year before I decide to take the plunge and get my boots dirty I still have so much to do in Horizons and Im still enjoying every minute of the game. I think once I do go to Odyssey it will be time to trade in the PS4 for a PC and get very serious about everything. Unless Frontier let us bring our hard earned credits, ships and assets over to the new DLC.
By the way, I don't always play in open, I do most times but if youre reading this and you play on PS4 and you see me, say hi CMDR AtkinsonCharlie!
