Amata LireinIn case you wonder why those suits and firearms are more expensive then ships and modules
ARX-purchased items are the most weird.
Like... A set of shoulderpads and other similar items costs like a ship body kit.

...you did see what I was trying to make fun of here, right? Have I been too subtile?

I see that 'Love Benjamin' thing, yeah.
I'm just slow. And awkward. And stupid sometimes.
p.s. Oh shi... I just made a spoiler.

EpisparhDaiyousei7After forcing myself to play Odyssey only for the last week, I went back to Horizons. Horizons feels like an upgrade. Aesthetically it's better, it runs perfectly, the UI makes sense, way less clicking to do things, responsive design. I really don't see how they're going to fix Odyssey at this point. If they merge that crap with Horizons I really think it will be the thing that causes me to delete my account entirely.
There are no signals from frontier that they will scrap the new UI. On a contrary, there is effort to adjust the new one which just emphasis on the fact that new design is BS.
streamlining for console, I would guess

I am not convinced it is console friendly. I have tried to use it without a mouse it is even harder.

EpisparhGosh, do those covert mission pay bad. Covert heist, play a hide and seek with entire settlement for 20-30min for 150k Cr.
And this is mission from allied faction.
https://ibb.co/p26vMy9 I try to haggle... 800k still not that much

Talking about upgrades: The Backpack extension for the Maverick: yes or no?

Amata LireinAn observation I made: The TK Aphelion (Laserrifle) is actually very easy to upgrade. I don't even actually looked for the materials needed after the T3 upgrade and already have enough again for T4
Talking about upgrades: The Backpack extension for the Maverick: yes or no?
I'm not taking the backpack, because sooner or later I won't collect anything anymore, just going for aphelion lvl5, which I did, kinetic pistol lvl 5 (at 4) and the maverick suit to lvl 5 (need only 3 manufacturing instructions) and then I don't care for the other suits.
But the mods, mostly missing data and also here I'll only need to collect a small amount of data per location.
It might be convenient, but I don't want to start collecting just everything, then I've to sell it again, just too many clicks.
That's my reasoning behind avoiding this upgrade.

Yeah, that's the thing that bothers me... it will be very useful while farming for all those upgrades, but will eventually overstay its usefulness, especially since we (currently) cannot replace upgrades made.
That being said: Aphelion and Karma are one hell of a combination

SakashiroProtip: If Odyssey can't keep up with the native frame rate of your screen and appears choppy, limit the game's frame rate to 50% of that, e.g. if your screen does 60 fps, cap Odyssey at 30 fps. Here's why: If Odyssey manages to render e.g. 47 fps, 13 of those frames will be shown twice as long, resulting in choppy motion. If you cap at 30 fps, each frame will get the same on-screen time, resulting in smoother motion overall.
AWW C'MON... Why did you not tell us that earlier? For me it works perfectly, even improves Horizons and Dangerous.
Thankyou Saks.

which mods are you aiming for both of them?
Aphelion:
greater range (damage falloff)
stowed reloading (switching between both guns)
faster handling
? scope ? (seems to be useless, saw a pic, doesn't really zoom at all [but that was on a kinetic rifle])
Karma:
greater range
stowed reloading
headshot damage
noise suppressor
and I've no idea what YARDEN BOND delivers.
for the maverick suit:
IMPROVED JUMP ASSIST (fun)
INCREASED SPRINT DURATION (life safer)
COMBAT MOVEMENT SPEED (no idea how useful)
? nightvision ? but the AI doesn't care too much about the flashlight

If you plan to have just one maverick - no. This thing is useful only in the beginning while you collect everything.
With that being said - this was my first engineering mod I have added to a G3 Maverick, but then I bought a second one G3 with resistances.. I am working now to upgrade the resistance one from G4 to G5.
The plan is to upgrade them both:
Maverick - Assassin: resistance, quite steps, shield regen, night vision
Maverick - Scavenger: backpack, improved battery, reduced tool consumption, night vision (but I may never do this one)
And there is nothing more satisfying than killing unshielded target 100m away with one shot!
So enjoy your paper/scissor gameplay. I am going for the plasma.
My executioner already have magazine upgrade and noise suppression and it needs audio masking but this one will take awhile.

The last setup would be useful if you had to explore an underground cave / base / ruin, with no way back and it would be a one time chance for this location to be looted before it gets sealed off.
With the increased sprint duration you can finally run and you aren't stopping every 5sec, on low gravity planets you may use the improved jump assist to get away without exhausting yourself too much, or on the highest building where the AI stops searching for you.
