My money remains on the new feature being base building, although I'd prefer more planets to land on and maybe fauna. I'd love to get water worlds (and things like ammonia worlds with liquid surfaces etc) for example with an SRV capable of submersible/amphibious gameplay
I don't mind chasing the thargoids All over the Galaxy as long as we will eventually find their Hive where it could be infiltrated. I want to see those three-tier battles.. on foot, in srvs and aerial. That would make for some really awesome gameplay on some alien planet far into the black.
Yep, this'll make three for three in my real money for toy spaceships tally. What's not to like? 😍 I never got around to building an explorer 'Conda, while the Asp and the DBX both have their drawbacks. This looks like it's going to finally hit the sweet spot.
I hope that we can get base building. Some want ship interiors but if you can't do something really extrordinary in the ship, It would just be cosmetic. Or perhapss an expansion of xenobiology like some fauna coupled with breathable atmospheres. Powerplay never was my thing before. I will withold judgement untill I see it first hand. We have enough political drama in our real lives, thank you. Nice video as always. ❤🤍💙
I went to Colonia to get away from all this Thargoid crap a year ago. Why are they so hell bent on turning this into a combat game? I just want to trade, mine, and explore in peace.
didnt get to play elite till wednesday (due to playing wartales) and got on as the system had been saved, cant believe i missed the attack on shinrarta and the rewards, looking forward to an update to the powerplay its been a long while since i gave any thought to any of the powers to be honest once youve got your cutter and corvette thats about it isnt it
Next CG will be to rebuild JM. All participants should get 50% off everything for a week or two, plus a few modules. This includes non-elite ranked pilots that help.
New feature guesses: - Ship interiors. Not happening but I couldn’t omit this guess. - Thargoid zombie humans in settlement combat. Likely given the story, but it’s not “completely new”. - Base building. On foot mats and other things have led this to being suspected. What do you think @burr_pit?
It's been a good year much needed changes and updates to the game. Feeling very positive for 2025 and the brand new feature! the engineering rework is good and what engineers should have been. All powerplay rewards being available for every faction is again a great move by Fdev.
The point I want to find out more about is the "power police" mentioned in unlocked. Getting attacked in every system i go to in the bubble that isnt aligned with Aisling, will make me un-pledge and not bother with it again. I like combat when I want it, i dont want to get jumped by NPCs in my slow, unarmed, T9 everywhere I go.
This is my worry too. What happens if there is a lucrative trade CG right in the middle of an enemy powers controlled area? Fighting off the 'PoPo' (Power Police) as well as fighting off pirates and gankers, will not make the CG very much fun.
I would imagine they have an internal "wanted" level they use. So, if you are just passing thru, no big deal, but... if you are actively murdering and doing PP stuff, then they will have a hit squad for you. That's what I would like to see.
Hopefully, the "Power Police" will give balance to solo and group power play activity. They will help take the place of real opposition that players must face when in open. Let's just see how strong they make them.
I sincerely would have participated in the defense of ShinDez, but I've actually been enjoying the BGS recently. I made it a personal project to flip a system for giggles. It took two weeks, but I managed to do it! I knew i was doing good work when I saw fleet carriers suddenly appear in system when I took the lead. For me, that was an adventure. I cant wait to see what Power Play 2 will do to enhance this political intrigue. I know im mostly an explorer but theres a lot in the bubble I've neglected. I dunno, I still think then mentioning how well the Mandalay controls in atmosphere sound suspicious.
Personally I'm waiting for all updates (and updates for the updates) this year done and completed, and then I'll start playing again. But I'm gobbling up all the info I can :P
I have tried to dock at Jameson Memorial yesterday and there was nothing. I couldn't even ask for landing permission. Does anyone have some infos about Fleet Carrier up-keep costs ? It seems to have almost doubled ! WTF !
I fought with the Thargoids. I, like a good few, did our best efforts do help out galactic friends. We will continue to fight for the rights of Thargoids.
Great video as always. My guess is... Colonia will burn and hopefully we will see on-foot Thargoids... the first thing will be a great challenge to cope with. Thanks Cmdrs Rheeney and Buur
Trouble brewin in Colonia, the question is, will it be before or after Titan #8? A new Titan smask in the middle of the Colonia highway perhaps? On the other hand, the galaxy i huge and perhaps, as we _did_ take care of the Titans, Colonia _should_ be safe. We won't see 7000 CMDRs running to Colonia to fight off the Thargoids if that happens.
I can see the larger AX groups putting together and publicizing a fleet of fleet carriers to taxi anyone who wants to go fight the goids around Colonia. Not 7 or 8 thousand, but a large number of commanders would go
@@goodboi6540 Console users can still play the game, that hasnt changed. Frontier needed to change and sadly the costs and trouble with porting and releasing console updates is a royal pain for a lot of companies. Console users can play Odyssey by using GeForceNow, I know a lot of people do that already and hang out with people on pc.
Even if Hype doesn't affect the main search algorithm, watchtime does, so if you're hyped and ppl actually keeps watching, wouldn't it actually also help in ranking?
I swear, if they add ship interiors but make you go to a flatscreen in VR like they did with Oddysey I guarantee that FDev has literally no conception of VR games that aren't seating only. they're stuck in 2016
