Unfortunately, throwing more feeatures on the pile won't help the current situation.

EpisparhElite Dangerous is collection of mini games without much connection between them. Odyssey and CQC are prime example of that.

I'd say the reason we don't see players instanced together more in Odyssey is because the game is still too buggy for that. And in general, throwing more features on the pile will only help once the potential for bugs when they do it is reduced significantly. Basically they need to rewrite the game engine, and the game as a whole, but the market won't support that.

What, are you talking about? Odyssey is exactly that, they rewrote the engine, the UI , the planet generation and a lot other things. The result was that rushed development and marketing stunt brought all those bugs. More feature without meaningful connection between them will do nothing even if they fix bugs.

IMO FDev needs to focus more on improving the features they have in ED vs adding more. Quality vs quantity. They definitely went for quantity.

It is very strange why FD decided to break continuity between Horizons and Odyssey and create a new game instead of adding 2 extra buttons to go to the lobby and to go on foot UI.

It's not a complete rewrite of the engine, and it's far from optimized, to the point that they actually just wrote an extension to the existing engine, and had to make many costly workarounds, particularly in navmesh.

YW.
Keep in mind that the results aren't guaranteed to have life, but simply show the best probability that (high paying) life CAN be found there. I'm unaware of anyone trimming those search results down into a list with only confirmed locations of flora present. Also, you can select "Main Fields" and adjust the parameters or add more (like 'distance from start' so you aren't going to places 30kls away from zone in). The parameters I used in that link are based on the outer bounds determined by research from Canonn RG et al.

TiggerHas anyone found a site that lists planets with plant life ?
EDSM is starting to include codex entries for the new Odyssey species at my request. All the Bacterium variants are in so far.

For my part I can't play Odyssey. I can play Horizon with a rock solid 75 fps in high, the game is awesome, beautiful, full of environment effects in the cockpit, I love that.
Switching to Odyssey is 50% less framerate (30-40 fps on most, 15 fps on foot), ugly light effects, no mode environmental effects in cockpit.
The difference is huge: I can play the former game, I cannot play Odyssey. And I'm not the only gamer who don't possess a high end computer with the latest graphic card (and considering the market at this time, I don't expect many Horizon players will upgrade their computer for playing Odyssey).
For many other reason: teaming up is not really meaningful when you can solo the game. Sadly. ^^ (there is not Thargoids on foot ^^)
PS: BTW... I'm blue da ba dee dabba da...
