      I came back about two weeks ago and put in 80+ hours. I've been away since Odessey was released because it was such a disappointment. I still haven't done any ground missions other than some exobiology. I'm very much enjoying the game again and hope to continue for a long time (I already have more than 2K hours in the game on Steam and the original Frontier). And yes, I would love it if they came to their senses and made Odessey for VR.

      Absolutely! I occasionally play ED in VR & it's absolutely awesome...UNTIL you get to the on-foot sections (in stations or planetside) & you're back to effectively playing on a flat screen within VR! In fact, I would say before detailed ship interiors full VR rendering for on-foot requires addressing (IMHO, ship interiors won't work without it!). Related to ED in VR, full controller implementation (a la "No Man's Sky); instead of having to use real-world controllers, enable VR controllers to be able to grab & move joystick & throttles, press keys & flip switches in the cockpit - even though NMS allows limited cockpit interfacing like this it's still miles ahead of ED in this aspect. 🙂

    Frontier recommitting to Elite aligns with at least short term industry trends.
    I’m a game dev and from what I’ve heard the common AAA response to recent high-profile failures (Concord, etc) is to turtle-down and be very cautious developing new ips.
    Frontier has a reliable income source in Elite so they’re willing to hedge on the side of lower risk rather than potential profit. During the pandemic bubble they were probably betting they could release new games with a higher ceiling than Elite. Now that the bubble popped, that’s nowhere near as likely. They’re simply playing it safe.

      With your perspective, do you think that these studios see a diminishing ROI in expanding an existing game? I would think that the low volatility of a game like Elite and others like it, would incentivize building out these games but we're just not seeing that with the profit drive. Second to that, since you're a developer. What's the general frontline developer feel about the direction of the AAA studios and about hunkering down to work on existing IPs?

    What I'd like to see is full VR support and the ability to build a little kit home on the surface of a planet. Nothing too elaborate, just a converted shipping container or something with an air bridge to your ship and an attached storage shed where you can keep spare parts and maybe a few cargo pods of something valuable for a rainy day.
    I haven't played for a while, but one of my favourite things to do in the game is after finishing a stack of missions or cashing in bounty vouchers I would land on a planet and switch off the ship, as if I've done my day's work and now I'm going to relax at home on solid ground. Having an actual camper trailer type thing you could deploy on a planet to be a kind of home outside of your ship would be really nice.

      Voice acting is unionized work and demands minimum pay for livable wages, even if it's just a few lines. For it to be substantial and varied, it will cost a LOT of money unless they did all the voices in-house (which is a skeleton crew now iirc). Considering ED's current player count, I wouldn't bank on anything as substantial as actual narratively driven missions.

Unless it's being looked up on the net this entire part of the game would be locked behind the inability of the Devs to introduce their game mechanics sufficiently. Absolutely nothing in this game is explained enough unfortunately.
      Not to mention that every single event in the game - from thargoid war to searching for the generation ships - passed me completely unnoticed. Nothing in this game is even remotely tied to the player.
      Unless you're invested on the net's community you will very well have the impression that the game world is completely dead and empty.

    I reinstalled for the PP2 update, but quickly turned it back off after playing with it for a couple hours. I realized that despite these new updated features, which aren't bad by any means, are still fostering the same old gameplay loops I've been doing since 2014. I've started taking longer and longer breaks from the game since Odyssey, with this latest round being a year long break. I get a little nostalgia in my head about the game I enjoyed 10 years ago, the hope I had for it, and that burns away as soon as I get back in my ship and see through the slick coat of paint that was applied with updates.

      Truth is, it's the nature of the game itself to make the player's interest leak over time. In the end, what really catched my eye at first was space exploration, going to find Neutron Stars, Black Holes... And the game is great at it, traveling is good. Is it monotonous? Well yes, as much as driving a car is, but the point of piloting a space ship is piloting the space ship. The problem is, for me, that the game is punishing towards players that wants to actually try the contents (After the insane grinding you have to do, the Rebuy screen is bullshit, just let me respawn without risking to lose the ship I spent time customizing and engineering). If it wasn't for that, I would have fought the giant Thargoids too, and I'd be much more daring to face stronger enemies and longer/risky travels towards the center of the galaxy (where, though, exploration is the only possible content as you're too much far from the Bubble). I was thinking, that maybe it would have been interesting to focus on in-planet missions (maybe making colonized planets actually full with cities and air traffic), and something like a Singleplayer/Coop Campaign mode which explains us the lore behind Elite Dangerous through characters and missions. That could perfectly cohexist with the standard game. Like, imagine choosing a faction in Powerplay... After playing some campaign missions (maybe as different commanders) that explains good and bad about each faction.
      Oh and, of course, cutting ties with 3rd party sites and update the game with an in-game resource search engine to know where to find what we're looking for. I'm still absolutely livid for EDDB.

    1. Ships interiors
    2. True triple screen support, means 3 separate cameras (or views) :
    1. camera on a left monitor -> view is turned 60 degrees to the left,
    2. camera on a center monitor -> view is 0 degree (dead ahead)
    3. camera ona right monitor -> view is turned 60 degrees to the right
    all three views blend togeather creating super wide panoramic view across 3 monitors but understandably without distortions meaning the perspective is correct all the time.
    do not confuse it with already possible stretching a view from one monitor to other two monitors (nvidia surround and other bs) as it still will show you only one monitor worth wide view only presented on three monitors which will never be a panoramic view and will always create distortions on side monitors.

    My #1 request would be to fix the VR viewpoint, so you can have a seamless experience in ship and on foot. Don't need no fancy motion controls or anything, just fix the viewpoint so it works like in does in your ship while on foot, LIKE THEY SAID THEY WOULD WHEN THEY TOOK MY MONEY FOR ODDESSY. Elite USED to be the best VR experience out there, and then they just pissed it away and treated their VR community as if we didn't matter, which is a real shame. I know many VR people who would come back if they fixed the VR viewpoint on foot, but we remain doubtful it will ever happen at this point.

(first time 😂) and man nothing beats finding a cool geological site on some rock out in the middle of nowhere.. or accepting a cargo mission and hitting the elevator button and seeing a station come into view, with all the ships landing and taking off. The music and the station chatter.. then taking off and almost destroy your ship flying out of the letterbox.. "I'll pay that fine when get back" 😂

    Apart from interiors and good VR compatibility for on foot instead of the silly floating screen, I would love to see more features/realism in the galaxy, the one thing that sets Elite apart from all other space games. We get a lot of close-ups of stars in this game so lets make them better. Giants and hypergiants look very different from what we have in game and red dwarfs could have occasional huge flares like many of them do, these could make fuel scooping more interesting and engaging. I believe Space Engine does pretty decent accretion disks in realtime so that could make black holes and close binaries a lot more interesting. Auroras on gas giants could offer interesting gameplay opportunities. Maybe reset planets around undiscovered systems to better reflect our current knowledge (hello, hot jupiters)

  • @SuperExtremeTNT
    @SuperExtremeTNT 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +51

    The things I need to be brought back to Elite:
    Ship interiors with seamless chair to planet surface.
    rework of fleet carriers to not be loose if you don't play mechanic.
    graphical rework of landable planets to bring to modern standards, not expecting SC just a bit nicer.
    seamless transition from ship chair to chair of rovers, can exit rover on foot seamlessly.
    I hope they are working on the next elite game, it will be very difficult to genuinely implement features like these continuously for the next 10 years.

  • @PocketDrummer
    @PocketDrummer 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    More than anything, I think Elite needs to overhaul its game play loops to make them more engaging.
    1. Make scanning for exobiology something that requires a bit of skill. Instead of a standard "scan 3 and you win" mechanic, have a completion meter with 3 possible outcomes. If you fail, you have to find another one (they might be right next to each other, so not he end of the world) and it doesn't move the meter. If you just do okay, then the meter goes up, but you still need to find more. If you nail it, have the meter go up significantly. Or, if they keep it at 3 scans, have the amount of money gained dependent on how well the scan was performed. Give players the option to scan another to top up the overall quality of the scans to get the max returns. The little spinning wheels are already there, just make them do something fun. Holding down a button isn't good game play.
    2. Redesign laser mining so that you are charging up the laser and have to let it go at the optimal range rather than just holding it down. Too low and it won't release much. Too high, and it burns up some of the materials. Just right and you get a larger quantity of pieces that come off.
    3. Have multi-trip trading missions that take you in a loop and give decent rewards. That way the game is giving us trading routes that are profitable and feel tied to the game rather than relying on 3rd party websites.
    4. On-foot mining for precious gems or something delicate and valuable. This may require adding cave systems to the game or allowing for EVA.
    5. Speaking of EVA, add EVA so that players can exit their ship when exploring and manually repair damage. This would make exploration more engaging. If we have ship interiors, repairing modules with little mini-games would be a HUGE improvement.
    6. Make sub-surface mining more profitable. This is one of the more engaging mining options available, but nobody does it because it's not as profitable as the other two.

    the news recently made me go back to the game, not played it properly since before oddissey. im really enjoying it. the sco boost thing is great, its surprising how such a small feature changes the game, specially exploration, and the buff to materials makes it a breaze to engineer things now. im making a new deep space exploration and really enjoying the exobiology, it gives me an excuse to go down to the beautiful planets and also make a lot of money. also, performance is much bettter, not had problems with that
    i think some of yous are too frustrated with the game because they have some massive expectations of what it should be. but right now its quite enjoyable if you properly give it a try i think

      Realistic expectations are the key! Honestly, how many people haven't gotten their moneys worth? I've paid less than $100 total for both games and all ARX purchases and I've gotten thousands of hours of entertainment. How often can we say the same thing about other real world purchases? Most of us pay more each month for electricity but we get so worked up about something we've paid less for and gotten more use out of than so many other things in our lives.

    I would love to see partial ship interiors; bridge, personal quarters, cargo bay / disembarkation ramp. Have a single elevator that goes from one to the other. However, it should also come alongside hiring crew. A lack of crew is by far the biggest missing feature.
    The cool thing about putting the two together is you could automate certain tasks from a terminal in your quarters (like travelling between waypoints) and, if you have the appropriate crewperson, automatically use the Discovery Scanner. BUT, certain things like doing neutron star scoops or launching probes would need to be done by the player from the bridge.
    Speaking of exploration, imagine having an stellar cartography lab that rarely reveals new features from unsold data (like potential mining hotspots or ruins). Or a xenobiology lab where you can display your favorite specimens or refine your discoveries for more payout. Make those long expeditions worth the time.
    Of course, each crewman gets a percentage cut of your income and crewman would become specialized over time. You might even want to have duplicates of some roles but oriented for exploration or combat, for example. Be careful not to have too many crewpeople or you'll make no profit at all.
    I would also love to see more varied locations for FPS firefights. Like the docking bay or a section of a ringed habitat. Or, crazy, thargoids.

      Their stock tanking due to poor-to-mediocre performances from their other games, they basically used ED as backbone to fund additional projects like the Jurassic World games, of which the first did well but the second did not.

    "Just hop into my ship and man this station. Oh, but first you need to map your fire groups, of course..."

    "Fighter destroyed? Just man the original station again. But first, uh, map your fire groups..."

    "Fighter replenished - hop into it again, would ya? Just, uh, you know... Map the fire groups..."

    All I want to say is, after four years, it's good to be back. Thanks Frontier for reviving the franchise, and thanks to you for your continued thoughtful and engaging commentary. What do I want to see most? Balance in PvP so we have a fighting chance of evading chain interdiction and ganking. PvP survival to play in Open shouldn't be easy, but it shouldn't be impossible either. Maybe the new "cool tech" we had hinted from recent Galnet posts will be a way to make this happen, perhaps a mechanic where you have to trade cargo capacity and speed for silence and invisibility. Risk vs reward.

    I was so excited when this game came out as Elite was my first ever real game I played on my mate's Acorn Electron then again years later with later games on my Amiga. It was such a let down especially when the engineering came out. I mean trading and exploring was a bit of a grind but having to find the engineering materials for ships and gear really killed it for me. It should be optional that it you have the credits then the upgrades should be purchasable but at a high cost, otherwise if you want to grind then go for it but when a game like that feels more like a job then it loses me.

    One of the biggest things that puts me off to the game has been the fact that if you take a few years off, you actually _miss out_ on story content. Like I missed the entire Thargoid invasion because I was not playing Elite at that time. And now, those events have come and gone. I'd rather see a game where you can actually experience the whole thing regardless of when you start playing or how much time you take off.

    A few things that would get me back to play Elite :
    - wings with more than 4 people
    - be able to have multicrew ships in wings
    - more player interaction (improved squadron system where the squadron can have a money pool where everyone can donate to pay for stuff tha belong to the squadron, like fleet carriers, or colonization ships ; trade of goods, materials and ships between players of the same squadron)
    - separate BGS server between open play and solo / private group, or if that's not possible for cost reasons, limiting or removing the impact of player actions made in solo or private group on the BGS itself.
    As long as these things are not implemented in the game, there is no point playing it for me. I'm not playing an MMO space game to play alone in my corner, or have it being a glorified co-op game.
    Few other things that would also help when it comes to player interaction :
    - better balancing of ship weapons for PvP, less drastic engineer modifications allowed for weapons to even out the playing field a little bit and make the game less unfair, or making engineer modifications easier to achieve.
    - better server consistency on foot.
    I'm not even that big on features that everybody seems to ask for like atmospheric planets, ship interiors... I'd rather have a fully functional game, and this is not the case of Elite Dangerous right now. It may have never been. In 2015/2016, I could excuse it, the game was still very much in a phase were new features were constantly added, but I think we've waited long enough. This is a MMO game with a huge potential, it deserves MMO features. Otherwise, that's the damn point.

    Having played Elite for years before, then leaving it due to lack of new content and just the repetitive grind it tended to have its amazing to see they haven't fully given up on it. That being said, ship interiors would go a long way but i'd like it to provide more function, especially on larger ships, such as stations where you can access various aspects, I.E station dedicated to scanning and planetary mapping etc. Some more updates, such as some lore and introduction to the power play factions i feel would motivate and give you reason to actually engage with them. Missions rather than deliver this and that, kill pirates or scan this, but missions with more story, more stages and steps potentially with more impact. Lastly, some sort of home base system, where you can make and build up a small base on a planet, asteroid etc. Nothing complex or elaborate, even its just pre-fab parts you snap onto a building, maybe with the ability to "order" ship components direct, i feel if done right it could help spread out the player base from just all setting their home to Shinrata Dezhra, maybe have some benefits like being able to build mining buildings etc.
