You will get purple colours for some ships for 15 minutes, purple SRV and SRF for 30, and for 45 minutes purple engine and weapons.

Not sure they should be passing it off as an expansion since it doesn't expand and there's no cross-play between the two games.
... and more purple? Any other colour.

QuillmonkeyAlexandrovich Shernoshenkoive been to beagle point before. i just did this as a minor expedition
You've been to Beagle and still didn't get your Elite badge? I think they pinned one on me for popping to the corner shop for some cigarettes.
thats a long story involving a crashed anaconda, selling exploration data on a DSSA carrier, and having to buy a stock sidewinder to get back to the bubble.

QuillmonkeyI'm beginning to think Odyssey is purely a teen pleasing CoD-a-like with an E:D aesthetic. There's been no mention of any significant development of the base game above pretty mountains.

Upgrading planet textures, landable atmospherics, etc is what I'm looking forward to. Plus, judging by the heat counter being different in stream between light and dark sides of planets, I'm starting to have more faith that space-eggs will be less about fps and instead have more immersion elements.

SakashiroJust evaded my first two interdictions in a T-9.
Ah, yes, sometimes I miss the good ol' days when the T-9 was my main hauler. Evading interdictions was always a good time. Now my main hauler is a Cutter, which can evade interdictions even if I were in a coma.

Who tried to interdict you? Most NPCs aren't a problem, even though in a Type-9 it's more of an effort than in any other ship.
If you want the real test accept several elite cargo transport missions and carry multiple loads of e.g. 192t biowaste at the same time. Those 700t cargo space need to be put to good use.

Episparhoh, gosh ...FPS lame AI
In fairness, that's the last part that will receive polish and easily one of the hardest parts to do right. Signed: An Automation/AI Engineer

Yeah, and hoping the retexturing will be more than just cosmetic. But really, I’d have been happier staying in my cockpit but introducing new planetary features to explore - cities, oceans, cave systems. How about new ships to fill the gaping holes in the budgetary scale? Maybe new mechanics - vulnerable FCs and player designed installation modules. Any of these would probably keep my attention longer than Fortnite in spacesuits
