Absolutely awesome. Thanks for the laugh.

Talking about Odyssey and on-foot stuff (@Meowers mentioned something about the emptiness of the settlements), let's talk about it:

(1) What do you really like about your space legs?
(2) What Odyssey content is your favorite?
(3) What would you love to see improved?

For me it's:
(1) After playing for long years on console, coming to Odyssey on PC (ok, SteamDeck) made me feel like a real person. Being able to walk around, to see myself as a person, really added to the immersion of the whole Elite experience. Also: fancy suits.
(2) Stealthing and sniping, I love to sneak into stuff and kill people silently from afar.
(3) Settlements are too empty and not varied enough. I want more NPCs doing every day stuff, I want shopping malls and schools and stuff, turning them into real little towns. It would also be cool to have missions combining several vehicle activites, like dogfights with your spaceships, SRV battles, SRV exploring, on-foot exploring etc. And I would love to have more Concourse stuff (see the other post of mine about Carriers). Or to frame it better: something else in a station or a port than a concourse.

It completes the experience for me. I can BE in the game. I love the ground options for missions and visits.

Rawnu (2) What Odyssey content is your favorite?

Two answers tied for first: ExoBio and Ground CZs.
Restore missions are a close second and covert missions get third place.

Rawnu (3) What would you love to see improved?

I... WANT... GROUND... AX... COMBAT!!!
Saying it again for those in the back: I want to fight thargoids on ground with new special suits and weapons. I want the combat to be brutal in difficulty.
My suggestion: AX Ground Low = Human Ground Med/High, etc.

There's a lot of stuff I can write about how undercooked, half-arsed on-foot content is, and most of it is public knowledge. But I'd like to stress out how awful the gunplay is. Those gun-shaped objects are much likely made by people who think a gun is a magic box bullets come out of. Performance is way worse than even low-quality modern day weapons. No diversity at all, just one gun of every type. Even the models are made without any regard to real firearm functioning and sometimes ergonomics. This is just a piece of crap.

Those plasma weapon 'magazines', glass jars with purple goop inside, are better grenades than ammo storage lol, imagine dropping one while reloading.
