Mostly Clueless

1. Here’s something Colin didn’t realise. If you are in a mega ship or an outpost with limited landing pads. Don’t wait for long periods in the hanger because apparently you’re still blocking the pad. So if you’re waiting a period of time for a module or a ship to arrive, either go on foot or switch to pvt mode so you can let other commanders land. Apologies to all those who were waiting outside the medical shop while I was AFK due to medical issues.
2. Also – PSA – the tip on last week’s show about station services being in planet services is now wrong, it’s no longer in station services

Questions

1. Results of our twitter poll: Should new Lore drops (like new voice logs etc) in #EliteDangerous be locked to Odyssey only? 
   1. @ElvisKremmen
      There needs to come a time in the games progression that new content is EDO focussed the same as what happened when EDH released.
   2. @MWeeble
      I think, some on foot and some “not on foot”.
      If everything is forced to be backwardly compatible it’s going to make progress progressively slow.
   3. @Dantechnik
      Yeah for sure. Content is locked behind DLCs all the time. It’s part of what you are paying for. In the goodness of time the lore gets recorded in various places to read, we need to progress with the game too. Also, BUY ODYSSEY it’s great fun!
   4. @Epaphus
      I see no problem with it being Odyssey.
      Back before the base game and Horizons merged, if you didn’t have Horizons you missed out all of the planet based logs and of course the Thargoid and Guardian bases and related lore.
   5. @ubermick
      Time to move forward for god’s sake. It can’t progress if it constantly has to keep one foot in the past to appease those who moan about Odyssey. It’s been (more or less) sorted now, and is often available dirt cheap on sale. No excuses for not upgrading anymore other than salt.
   6. @Kaytianna
      We need to see more odyssey only content. The game needs to move forward with the DLC.
   7. @Ernie4UK
      The DLC has more advanced game mechanics and systems.  Let’s make the most of that and get some kick ass lore while we’re at it.
   8. @HappyMoonMonkey
      FDev needs to be less timid with is updates and content. e.g. I’ve loved exploring the abandoned settlements and finding the lost explorers. Odyssey content and surprises in these locations and new locations would be more than welcome.

Any other business

1. A tweet from VKBsim that says just one word … “Soon!”, could the TECS throttle finally be about to launch?
2. A mailshot from GameGlass has gone out teasing “re-designed E:D Shards are coming soon!”
   
   Re-designed from the ground up for Odyssey and fully compatible with the Forge, our new Elite Dangerous Shards bring the game to life in immersive new ways.
   
   They include new interactions for throttle control, targeting, weapon manipulation, and much, much more.
   
   By popular request brand new Shards for FPS, SLF / SRV and Carrier gameplay will be included.
   
   They’re almost ready, and will be free for all Glass Pass members.
