Meowers ...bad code.


I think this is the problem more than anything. I can run games that look just as good or better and with more things going on simultaneously, and I have minimal slowdown if any. In EDO I have near constant slowdown. The space dust causes me slowdowns and I'm not even running the game on a potato. Horizons only had slowdowns in a few select moments. I guess they forgot all the coding tricks from the 16-bit and 32-bit era of gaming to make more with less.

Doubt that old memory-humping tricks are actual today, but still. ED:H is an eyecandy. And it's made well (well... comparable to what we have on the market these days, blah blah blah...) Perhaps it'll take another five-six years to made ED:O playable, mwhahaha

<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Steve Brent</font></font>Hola,

visité varias estaciones para encontrar un Type-10 para comprar, seguí los últimos registros de Inara para eso, pero en cada estación que fui (5) dice que el proveedor no está vendiendo ese barco.

¿Hay algún problema con la base de datos después de la odisea o lo estoy haciendo mal?

Gracias.


Tuve un problema similar con mi imperial cutter. en el Sistema Bhavas (susano orbital) en EDDB e inara me informaban que vendía en motor de distorsión 7, pero al llegar solo estaba el 6.. aun así decidí comprar el Imperial Cutter.. espero ahora buscar una estación en donde lo vendan hasta nivel 7

hi there,
just wanna tell you guys that the new expansion is a great but unfinished product in my eyes.
for example handing in finished heist missions does not work. The game will simply let them vanish from the transaction list after trying to hand them in. After a relog you won't see the heist missions in your list but in you personal log on inara you can see that the game thinks you are still doing the mission but since it vanished after trying to turn it in and relogging you cannot turn it in anymore.
So it will be listed as expired after that.

This means, that the Engineer Terra Velasquez is not unlockable due to bugs currently in the game.
I have finished the required heistmissions and more of them and Terra won't unlock. I was doing the right missions as my log says, not theft or non violent theft. Just heistmissions.

If this is allready known, or this discussion is not the right one to adress this issue i appologize in advance.

Edit:
since heistmissions are a pest to do i am somewhat disappointed because i had to farm many upgradematerials and so on just to be strong enough to reliable survive getting detected doing a heist. for example i got an opressor lvl5 allready with stability,increased magazine size, and greater range. i found it at lvl2 without any mods and have done many missions to collect the mats. And now after doing all the the farming i feel a little bit cheated by the game. But compared to MMO-RPGS Elites Grind is ok and not to frustrating. But i still feel cheated because i cannot do what i wanted to do next.

Decided to fly out to the Colonia Engineers using a Paperconda instead of taking a Fleet Carrier. Figured I may as well get exploration data since there are Elite+ ranks now. The first 2 jumps I got interdicted and had to fly back for repairs. Only had 1 star try to attack me on the trip there. Had 2 would be interdictions once I got there but they did not get to me in time. This week will be the trip back. I don't ever want to do this again... x.x

Everything space related (old content) runs 60+ fps for me. On foot Odyssey stuff is like 30-50. Sometimes 10-15, lol (all this bonfires in on foot CZ). I am using NVIDIA servers to play so everything set on ultra. Imho game is beautiful now. I was more disappointed how arcadish new content is. Was hoping it would be something more realistic or at least unique (like flying model in ED).

I still hope that we'll see content with actual release (console release).

Out of curiosity, what content would explorer type players expect in the future, that is not considered shallow? The pre-odyssey gameplay loop was pretty much going out into the black, see beautiful vistas, then return to the bubble every two years to stamp your name on the places you visited. What changed (and will hopefully improve with the removal of Minecraft planets), is that we may access atmos, as well as the usual rocks. Also, we've flora now, that also can be labelled with your cmdr name.

Odyssey has blown a door open (quite flimsily, of course) to many interesting opportunities for the future. More dense wildlife, atmos with liquids bodies on them, ship interiors. It may have blown it's own limbs off in the process, but hopefully they'll grow back soon. The fps content was pretty solid, the ground missions are light-years better than their space counterparts. The pay is garbage, but that's what ship based missions are for, right? The AI is smart, getting flanked by them is an absolute nightmare. Clearing out a settlement completely and utterly feels insanely wholesome. Didn't get the chance to try czs yet, due to the performance issues, but I'm looking forward to those as well.

Initially FPS is challenging, but once I got grade 5 gear I simply roll over dead bodies. And then those combat missions are hard only if you wish to do them explicitly on foot. With ships and SRV in the mix the things are far different. The stealth missions are fun, hands down to who ever came with the idea but some of the mechanics still need polishing.

As for your questions for explorers. I think that would be all, now you can hope to find a new biological form or abandoned settlement on foot. At best Frontier will unlock some locked region and will put content there, but that will be for all players.

Hi, does anyone know which engineer does the nightvision upgrade for the suit? Couldn't find it on Inara yet.

Doesn't work anymore in Odyssey unless they fixed that by now. Which I doubt.

So.. Is the whole BGS system just broken right now?
It does strange things for our minor faction since 2 days
