Elite: Odyssey

I have completed my performance benchmarking for Phase 4. Results show no utilization improvements. Those will hopefully be in release. I know they mentioned that occlusion isn't in at all, and that is consistent with the area's that I'm seeing performance degradation in. Space gameplay seems to be pretty similar to the live version in terms of load. I'm actually not that worried about it provided they keep their word. Reason being, the performance hit in space gameplay of PBR and improved lighting seems to be quite minor and yet it's a massive benefit in terms of fidelity. Absolutely breathtaking.

Hm, about FC ships ...it is odd. Some of them are in the game in my current station but some are missing. I do not have more than 25 ships on the FC. They could easily transfer them to Nervi.

Probably that was the reason for the initial plan of one ship.

That new shipyard UI is literally unusable in the context of 50+ ships. Not to mention that it shows some high level overview of number of modules but no details as we had in Horizons.

The devs have confirmed that the alpha is an earlier build than the one that will be launched next month in terms of optimization, so we can expect some performance increases. This is good; I use VR for Elite and as of right now, Odyssey is so janky as to be unplayable.

Well, your cutter is a bit on the paper side but still you should've survived that ram.

Ah, yes.

NEVER FLY WITHOUT REBUY!

I see people in FDev's forum complain that it takes too long to board a Cutter or Corvette. Now I'm wondering, are those people part of the alleged 97% who want ship interiors?

I voted for ship interiors but they should be optional. Station should offer at least access to on-foot merchants and on-foot board through ship UI not wasting 5 min just to handover a mission.

The Courier has its hatch door on the backside between the main thrusters btw. Excellent design! Not that it would take long to reach the front, but anyway.

Haven't checked the Mamba yet.

After I watched the engineer visit.... I wonder are there a FC vendor in range of some of my FSD boosted ships

What's interesting is that when I walk below the Courier, my head seems very close to the hull. How does a SRV fit below that ship?

One way to see. Meanwhile, Kakmbutan is far inside the range of my Relentless. I will try to buy a FC in Alpha
