Tonight’s activity in-game
- Ben – will try to be in Hyades Sector FB-N b7-6 … but it sounds scary and dangerous
Development News – what have the devs said this week?
- Elite Dangerous Update 14 and Beyond: Live and Legacy Modes
- Rampant Speculation. As the Live galaxy
- We ran a poll asking if folks thought that Frontier should only sell Odyssey moving forward, or if they should keep selling both “Legacy” Elite and Odyssey
- Results:
- Only Sell Ody: m:74% t82%
- Sell both Ody and “Legacy” Elite: m26% t17%
- Some comments:
- Ascorbius: the biggest problem I see is that Odyssey tries to be DLC, but it’s not. It’s the next major update. It should be sold as such. People then have to get on board if they can so we can continue the story and explore the Galaxy together. Fdev have limited energy at a given point but we all have time. So fdev can build more content for us over these releases. Dlc is for skins, weapons and missions. Not for Elite.
- DeathBunny: Stop selling on consoles but give option on PC, PC should be 4.0 only like many other games that upgrade their engine.
- Boppa: Leaving it on sale on consoles – where only Legacy is available – could be troublesome, unless it’s made very clear that Legacy isn’t really a live service game any more, isn’t connected to the Live BGS, isn’t under development, etc.
- Results:
- Frontier Annual Report – https://www.frontier.co.uk/annual-report#stratgey_13
- Bad News, because they wrote off the costs of Odyssey Development (£7m) this year; it’s reduced fdevs profits down to £1.5m pounds (Down from £19 million).
- All the other games did very well (including Jurassic World 2 which was originally thought of as bad) and the F1 Game did gangbusters!
- Elite is last on the Summary list on the portfolio.
- Good News; they have committed to trying to grow the Elite Community in the future.
- They’ve committed new content until the end of FY23 (End of May 23), so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
- Galnet News Roundup
- Paul does his usual awesome job of summarising the weekly events with such highlights as “Nothing says safe and friendly like naming a giant unknown alien object after a Celtic god of thunder” and “Dalton “No I am really busy but I’ll be there in spirit, honest” Chase”
- Elite Dangerous Update 14 Release Schedule
- Elite Dangerous Update 14 Release Notes
- Non “key features” highlights
- Colin – Fixed filter settings in the galaxy map being cleared after closing the map.
- Ben – Damaged megaships with functional escape hatches will now deploy escape pods automatically when rescue ships are nearby, rather than asking the player to use a hatch-breaker limpet.
- Ben – Fixed some benches letting you sit on top of another NPC instead of in the empty seat next to them – Ahhh so it wasn’t a feature!
- Ben – Added an optional keybind for the Shutdown Field Neutraliser module.
- Non “key features” highlights
- Elite Dangerous | Arrival
