SalmoneaSomeone mentoined here Star citizen. I checked that game and seen few videos and I dunno. It doenst seems me like a space sim. I think Elite is space simulator and Star citizen is human simulator in space.
Unfortunately, ED took same approach with adding legs and station interiors. Frontier just made a cheap decision to cut corners and do not implement it properly with ship interiors and just concourses not full station interiors. Half baked and implemented idea, IMO.

Cutting corners, or ten years in development. Sadly there seems to be no middle ground.
I'd love to play SC, but I don't think it will ever be finished. And I'm tired of being an alpha tester.

Shg56Does anybody know how INARA's ratings are calculated? It seems they are currently skewed towards odyssey achievements. I left bubble on the 2021-11-06 and my rating at that time was at 30K, and now after 4 months in the void I am down to 34.5K position. My exploration earnings (2B of credits and 1,6K of new system visited) does not seem helping much to maintain the rating, it still continues sliding down 1K every month. It looks like that one has to start collecting flowers (aka poo) to improve your rating. Credits and exploration standing do not reward the same way as botanical.

Episparh the BluntI would be happy without legs if they doubled the available ships and added more gameplay around space. I personally never wanted to walk in/outside ships.
For a guy who doesn't like footplay you maxed out that merc rank pretty fast.

Mercenary ranks aren't too bad once you get a good setup and do High intensity. It used to be worse but I know they tweaked it a time or two early on. I'm still trying to convince myself to finally go for Exobiology Elite however... I want the red/silver suit but ugh.

Mercenary rank was never my goal, just ground CZ are the most effective way of earning arx. The other one is material trading but I haven't done any material farming for months. I do not need new ship builds.

Lol, I wouldn't risk my last 2 brain cells for that.

They have to rework it all.

How you gonna explain that to share holders?
"We failed to make a DLC for the past three plus years but let us work few more years on rework, we will do great sales after! We pinky promise!"

The ship models that were originally made did not account for the future need for interior corridors, so to implement them now would require changing the design of the ships to allow for on-foot traversal. This would of course change the size of the ships, which would affect both Odyssey and non-Odyssey gameplay if they maintained the necessary modifications to the ships in both versions.

On my PC with RTX 2060 it's playable on a little above minimum settings. From time to time it starts stuttering, then I put of headset, switch the tasks, put on headset again and it runs fine. Weird.
Headset is Quest 2.
Thanx... I'm gonna start keeping an eye out for sales to find (or build) a new system... I keep hearing that GPU's are about to become available again, without the extreme price gouging.... If they merge to Odessey code soon, then I'll just have to pay the jacked up prices and do a couple extra shifts at work... I have an extra ED account, so I was already thinking about another system to go with my other VR headset so I can bring friends and family aboard my ship with me and fly them around earth and moon lol.
