On the 7th December 2022 at 15:00 UTC Frontier released the 14.01 update for Elite Dangerous. You can see the notes below, on the Patch Notes section of this website or on the Elite Dangerous website.
Stability
Fixed a crash that could occur when being interdicted by a Thargoid vessel.
Fixed a crash that could occur when trying to hyperspace jump whilst in multicrew.
Fixed a crash caused by opening the galaxy map when no commodity information was available.
Fixed a crash that could be caused by looking at the navigation panel when in the tutorial.

Fixed ports not requiring docking permission when unaffected by the Thargoid invasion.
Fixed the “signal lost” effect occurring when using the external camera at maximum range.
Ram Tah and Professor Palin will no longer send an inbox message when detecting that Commanders are holding items they aren’t interested in – Needy or greedy? You decide.
Balancing
Exobiology rank requirements have been adjusted to correctly account for their adjusted balance. Developer note: Your Exobiologist rank progress may appear to be greatly slowed until your next rank is achieved in order to adjust to the new tiers.
Commanders will now correctly receive data when being interdicted by Thargoid Scouts.
The Orthrus’ shield has been rebalanced.
The Orthrus’ payout has been rebalanced to 30m credits.
UI
Fixed corrupted text appearing on Thargoid Invasion panels in the galaxy map when viewed in Russian.

Thargoid War: Phase time countdown counts down weeks instead of days (Ticket reference: issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/55924)
On the 9th March at 12:37pm Frontier made another post in relation to the delayed release for Update #11, featuring the ability to walk around the interior of Fleet Carriers. A subsequent post from the Senior Community Manager suggested that this might be before the end of the working day on Tuesday, but no promises. There will also be some Horizons fixes coming with the update.
“Greetings Commanders,
“Some issues have been detected in our final round of checks before the launch of Update 11. Therefore we’re taking extra time to apply fixes and moving the release to next week. Apologies for the further delay, but we trust what’s coming will have you on the edge of your seat.”
At 12:02pm on the 1st February 2021 Frontier released the #10.01 hotfix. The patch notes can be seen below or on the offical site here.
Greetings Commanders.
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Commanders will today recieve a Hotfix to address a number of key mechanic and stability issues, arisen since Update 10. Odyssey only servers will be offline from 12:00pm UTC with minimal downtime required.
Updates of note:
A fix has been implemented for the HUD failing to update when the SRV would collect cargo.
This is where you would need to relog to continue to make further collections.
A fix has been implemented for the SRV only being able to pick up one item at a time when transporting cargo.
A fix has been implemented for deceased NPC bodies blocking reactor consoles at some settlements.
A stability fix has been implemented.
This one will be of interest to Commanders who are currently struggling to progress through the main menu before encountering a crash.
At 10:01am on the 25th January 2022 Frontier released the patch notes for Update #10 of Odyssey. These can be seen below, on the official forum here, or in due course linked via the Patch Notes section of this website.
Greetings Commanders,
Post-Odyssey updates have reached double digits! In this round, we see a series of optimisation improvements and a large batch of fixes. At the time of this post (10:00 BST/UTC), servers will go offline for approximately two hours while the update deploys.
Changes will come to both Odyssey and Horizons each listed in their own sections below. These will see some overlap in cases where certain changes are happening in both versions.
> ODYSSEY

Mining extractors no longer display flashing black squares
NPC crew members will now retaliate when in the Defend state.
Deceased NPCs will no longer cover the reactor console, preventing interaction
Character Animation
An issue when running with the cutting tools was fixed. Although, our mothers still advise against it
Ships & SRVs
SRV helm audio will no longer be replicated across crew members
Deployed vessels will retain their ship owner ID as intended
Camera angles for the livery screen on the Scorpion SRV were adjusted
A detailing issues on the Azure paint job on the Asp Explorer’s was fixed
Gold and black paint job colours were adjusted
Ember paint jobs were adjusted
Midnight Black paint jobs were adjusted
Interactions
Gravity will be re-enabled at Guardian Sites so that caskets no longer float
A quantum-physics issue allowing multiple players collecting the same item was fixed
Factions
The Pirate Attack faction state will now:
No longer trigger when only criminal factions are present in a starsystem
Temporarily make weapon commodities legal in most jurisdictions
Cause factions to lose influence to criminal factions present in that starsystem
Criminal factions will no longer experience active security states and their Security Points will lock at 0
Odyssey settlements controlled by criminal factions will now prefer to export commodities (at the usual favourable pricing) that are illegal in other jurisdictions. Their exports will return to normal if control changes to other faction types
Odyssey settlements that were incorrectly exporting Meta Alloys will no longer do so
Incorrectly negative faction consequences when selling salvaged commodities for a relatively low value were fixed
The Black Market station service will now activate when the controlling faction has an active Civil Unrest state
Faction consequences from selling commodities are now based on satisfying available demand at the Commodity Market
You can now support a faction by buying commodities from it, based upon satisfying available supply at its Commodity Market
When buying and selling, it’s generally more positive to a faction to satisfy a higher supply and demand (green 3-bar icon) than a lower (red 1-bar icon), and it’s generally more positive to trade more expensive commodities than cheaper ones
> Horizons
A crash when selecting the engineering panel from a ship was fixed
A crash caused by entering the permit locked-HIP 54530 system was fixed
Deposit fragments will no longer get stuck inside asteroids
VFX for projectiles from the Remote Flak Launcher will no longer be too bright
A crash during the tutorial was fixed
Damage values on thermal conduits have been corrected to scale with ship heat between 90-150%, capping at 160%

Servers will return online at approximately 12:00pm with updates available to download.
Note: We’re aiming for update notes to be released as you like them, along with the tick of server downtime, but there could be a potential for them to shift ever so slightly (hopefully not though, we’ll keep you informed). They’ll come from either myself of one of the guys.
On Thursday the 9th December 2021 Frontier release Update 9 for Odyssey. The patch notes can be seen below, or on the Frontier website here. A link to these can also be found at the bottom of the main Odyssey notes in the Patch Notes section of this website, here.
MAIN CONTENT
> The Scorpion
The Scorpion, a new SRV designed specifically for supporting infantry on ground-based combat has rolled into action.
The Scorpion is fitted with 2 seats for a driver and a gunner, allowing two Commanders to operate as a team in this formidable fighting machine.
All Scorpions come fitted with two weapons:
Surge Repeater – A rapid-fire weapon that increases its fire rate and accuracy the longer it’s fired for.
Aculeus Launcher (I’m not saying that on stream) – A combination dumbfire and lock-on missile launcher.
The Scorpion is only stocked at military economies.
Scorpion Cargo Bay = 2
> Multi Limpet Controller Modules
Multi-Limpet Controllers are now available from Outfitting enabling players to program a limpet to perform one of a given set of tasks and will be available in multiple types which will dictate what functions it is able to program.
Mining Multi Limpet Controller module (Available in Size 3)
Operations Multi Limpet Controller module (Available in Size 3)
Rescue Multi Limpet Controller module (Available in Size 3)
Xeno Multi Limpet Controller module (Available in Size 3)
Universal Multi Limpet Controller module (Available in Size 7)
Make your tea for you module?
> Mission Providers at Settlements
Some NPCs at settlements might now occasionally have missions they can offer to passing Commanders! If these mission providers become critically injured while a mission is active and the mission owning Commander is present at the location where the mission was provided, the mission will be considered failed.
Mission providers will fight back if provoked.
Mission providers will reappear at the settlement once the mission is marked as complete.
> Planets
Major improvements have been made to light tinting from atmospheres. You will have seen some lovely examples of this in our latest update from Arthur here.
> Module Management
A fix has been implemented for pre-engineered modules from community goals not being marked informatively, as such.
Pre-engineered module rewards will now have their description display the fact that they are pre-engineered, as well as have it display in the outfitting screen.
Also trying to apply modifications to pre-engineered modules which specifically cannot be modified further (very niche circumstances) will now be disallowed with a message stating why.
> Optimisation
“Update 9 will see us go further, with optimisation already well underway for motion graph animation, mid-far distance planet rendering, lighting, scatter rocks, object physics, AI and character models – all of these, and many more, contributing to a better Odyssey experience for our players.”
Optimisations to textmesh system
Optimisations to tubelights
Optimisations to scatter rocks and scatter rock physics
Minor optimisation to vehicle debris rendering
Optimisations to the UI rendering
Depth prepass optimisations have been implemented
Optimisations to Environment Map rendering
Optimisations to the avatar rendering system
Optimisation to planets, particularly at mid-distance view
Optimisations to energy management
Optimisations to humanoid interactions
Optimisations to compass and sensor data aggregation
Performance improvements for NavMesh tile building
Stability
We’re actively continuing to help with tracking down as many continuing stability issues as possible, with your continued support in providing logs and reports where possible.
A crash to desktop has been prevented which would occur when viewing a mission invitation inbox message, such as those offered by Professor Palin, that was generated on a different version of Elite Dangerous (For example if it was generated in Horizons then you’d get the crash in Odyssey and vice versa).
A crash that could occur if a bit of dialogue is queued (in order to not play over another line) and then cancelled before it had a chance to play. (eg. in a conflict zone, the coordinator might be talking, so a suit voice gets queued, and then the player is killed before it plays.) has been addressed.
A fix has been implemented for a crash that could occur when talking with a mission giving NPC again after completing a mission for them.
Improvements made to the general stability of the tutorial scenario.
> General Improvements and Fixes
AI
AI in dropships will take explosive damage if the dropship is destroyed before deployment.
The player that destroyed the ship will be given credit for the damage caused to the AI.
A fix has been implemented for Supercruise assist not disengaging correctly when approaching stations inside ring systems.
AI will no longer become suspicious of you if you run out of suit energy near them (I kind of love the idea of this…”why you tired?”. I mean at least they care! I guess they don’t need to get mad about it though…).
Audio SRV related improvements
Improved responsiveness and mix of the Scarab tire surface noises, including skids.
Improved the Scarab mix at different distances and perspectives.
Scarab will now sound clearer further out, for example.
Fix implemented to address the odd echo quality on Scarab sounds at distance, which basically, I’m straight up told, sounded ‘weird’.
Improvements made to audio Level of Definition optimisations on the Scarab that were incorrectly set up.
Fixed annoying high pitched tone in the SRV tire on rock sounds.
Fix implemented for audio not being affected sufficiently when obstructed by objects.
Fix implemented for SRV turret movement sounds not always being audible.
Rebalanced the Scarab Wavescanner sounds.
Some were quite loud (eg. the crystal one). They should be more consistent compared to each other now.
Rebalanced SRV audio perspectives
SRV Cockpit should have less sharp “crunch” of the surface/tires compared to before (as you are in a canopy).
Turret/Gunner should have clearer surface crunch and less bassy engines (made me think of Shirley Bassey for some reason).
The Camera Suite, when activated, will have less ‘fizzy surface noise’ come through at distance compared to before, but more surface detail does come in if you get the camera close to the wheels.
Optimisations have been made to the Scarab wheel audio emitters.
Reduced volume of overly loud planetary exploration music (I can’t get enough of it, personally).
Fixes for Emote body movement sounds sometimes being silent have been implemented.
Fix added for settlement terminal boot-up-ident sounds being too loud.
Fixed the firegroup toggle sound sometimes being silent if you rapidly change it.
Fix implemented for TK Aphelion gunshots dropping out when manually triggering individual shots rapidly.
Fix implemented for missing Engineer voice lines in the non-English languages when discussing the quiet footsteps modification (they’re talking about quiet footsteps, c’mon! Maybe they don’t wanna broadcast it, right?).
Added small delay to various Engineer voice lines to stop missing words happening at the start of a phrase, when transitioning between menus.
Fix implemented for drive assist off and on COVAS lines occurring on disembarking and boarding your SRV when drive assist is on.
A 30 second cooldown has been added to the drive assist on and off COVAS lines to reduce the “spammy quality” for players who switch drive assist on and off frequently.
Camera Suite
An issue has been fixed whereby certain parts of the ship UI became visible when using the Camera Suite, particularly in the Type 10.
You were able to see the comms panel, team status and info panel from your external cam view, for example.
Custom ship paintjobs were not showing up in the 3rd person camera when in virtual multicrew. This has now been resolved.
Conflict Zones
A fix has been implemented for the Commander’s current reputation with a faction being highlighted in a Combat Zone showing red, despite being friendly or neutral.
An update has been made to Combat Zone control points to allow them to be visible in Ships and SRVs.
Improved player messaging has been implemented for when you can’t recall your ship from an SRV, due to being in a Conflict Zone.
An issue has been resolved whereby the Combat Zone objectives UI persisted on the SRV info panel following the end of a CZ.
A fix has been implemented for a Combat Zone sometimes no longer progressing if a Ship Launched Fighter is destroyed.
Commodity Trading
Black markets now offer the full market value for Illegal goods (swindlers…)
Characters
Fix implemented for broken lip sync on Dylan, at the end of the tutorial (big fan of Dylan).
Fleet Carriers
When accessing information about a Fleet Carrier via the system map, certain vital information was missing – e.g: Access Type and Owner. This has now been addressed.
Interactions
Fix implemented for destroyed limpets not having collision.
Fix implemented for missing turret schematics.
Fixed implemented for the Thargoid shutdown field not affecting ships.
Thargoid Interceptors EMP blast did not disable Commander ships in Combat/AX Zones.
An issue has been fixed which prevented the galaxy map button on the Vista Genomics vendor from functioning.
Lighting & VFX
VFX for the engineered Multicannon weapon have been re-balanced.
VFX for the seeker missiles have been rebalanced.
Fix implemented for water geyser VFX being visible through rock.
Fix implemented for missing ripple effect on shields.
Megaships
Megaship Cargo and Escape Pod canisters would often become stuck inside Megaships, rendering them irretrievable.
Issues around this included:
“After hatchbreaking a cargo bay or escape hatch, some or all of the cargo/escape pods stay inside the ship rather than venting into space where they can be scooped or picked up by limpets. Cargo bays don’t seem to vent any canisters at all, they just stay stacked inside. Escape hatch vents some pods but others seem trapped under the skin of the megaship and can’t be reached.”
“Use a hatchbreaker limpet on any cargo bay. Cargo canisters will appear on the contacts list but there’s no way to collect them”
This issue…has now been (man, I hope so. It seems really good…it does!!) fixed.
Mining
An issue has been fixed whereby raw materials and even some refinable fragments became “stuck” inside the mineable rock instead of being released, even though they show up in contacts they cannot be collected.
Missions
Fix implemented for some Delivery Missions failing to progress upon interacting with the mission contact.
Fix implemented for Recovery and Scavenge Missions sometimes being unable to fail if the mission is abandoned or the mission owning commander is critically injured.
Fix implemented for Combat Aftermath USS:
When Commanders are given the option of taking the “Scan” objective, they could scan the onboard data link before accepting the objective which would cause the USS to break and would prevent progression. This has now been fixed.
Fix implemented for unlocalised objective text in Delivery and Collect Missions.
Fix implemented for unlocalised “Talk” prompt attached to mission contacts.
Additional mission rationales to Smuggling missions have been added.
Outfitting
Ship/SRV/Fighter Outfitting
Updates made to the visual effect of the Thermal Conduit experimental effect.
The colour will now reflect how much of an impact on the module’s damage the ship’s heat level is applying.
Damage will also be correct.
Commander Outfitting
Fix implemented for an issue experienced with backpack capacity miscalculations, for suits fitted with the Extra Backpack Space modification.
Rendering
A fix has been implemented to ensure the correct directional shadow profile is selected for interior environments.
The shadow will be cast accurate to the light source.
Fix implemented for in-game ship HUD occasionally appearing on player avatar beards (I laughed. Why beards?!)
Fix implemented for vehicle debris culling when still in view.
Fix implemented for artefacts (visual…blips…pixilation…that kind of thing) that could appear on vehicle schematics.
Fix implemented for shield VFX rendering when there is no shield active.
Rebalance made to the “Bloom” setting on low and medium graphics settings.
Fix implemented for avatar skin not utilizing ambient occlusion correctly.
“In 3D computer graphics, modeling, and animation, ambient occlusion is a shading and rendering technique used to calculate how exposed each point in a scene is to ambient lighting”
Basically your Commander’s skin is gunna be LIT!
Fix implemented for incorrect proportion of dark nebulae rendering in the galaxy.
Fix implemented for cracked glass effects and condensation effects not displaying on the Python.
City lights effects on non-landable planets have been re-balanced – they’re visible again now!
Trivia: Which country performed the song ‘City Lights’ in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest?
Fix implemented for some weapon scopes not displaying paintjob textures correctly.
Improvements and fixes have been made to impact decals (again, any kind of visual effect on a surface that’s caused by impact, like from a weapon).
Fix implemented for ship schematic displaying in the FSS Scanner view.
Fix implemented for planetary rings not displaying as exoected in the FSS Scanner view.
Fix implemented for the exclusion zone of White Dwarfs not being drawn.
Nasty AS! Especially with how big White Dwarves wear their skirts!
Server
A server error has been fixed which some players were experiencing when editing a bookmark of a Fleet Carrier that has since been decommissioned.
Selling cargo will no longer result in a Yellow Adder server error.
Settlements (Odyssey)
Fix implemented for Restricted Area inconsistencies.
Commanders were experiencing the following kind of situation:
“Warned for trespassing when on the 1st floor but only when walking over the power room below.”
“The power building has a level 2 security access but does not warn you for trespassing unless you enter the power room that has a level 3 restricted security access or go upstairs and walk over the power room.”
Fix implemented for floating objects found in a variety of settlement types.
Fix implemented to an offset hitcheck on a particular radar dish – which made its debut in these update notes BUT sadly I can’t tell you which one it is in the entire galaxy, but shout out anyway, Mr Dish!
Fix implemented to a gap in the roof of an Agricultural building – shoutout to THAT gap!
Fix implemented for z-fighting/mad flickering of wall or floor textures seen in some station social spaces
Around 150(!!!) fixes and improvements have been made to the look and feel of props and buildings at settlement locations.
Settlements (Horizons)
Fix implemented to hologram that would display incorrectly in ship HUD for some planet ports when targeted.
Ships/SRV
Cockpit dirt & scratches have been re-balanced to look more in line with real aesthetic.
Fix implemented for emissive scaling on Crypsis paintjobs – these should match Horizons versions of this paint type more closely now.
Fix implemented for missing hitcheck (solid…ness) on the Corvette landing gear.
Improvements made to the hitchek (solidness) of the Beluga Liner and Orca to prevent players from being able to get stuck when underneath them.
Fix implemented for the Krait MKII having misaligned canopy ice effects.
Fix implemented for the Type 10, which could hover above the ground until the SRV was deployed.
Fixed ships jerking to the side when released from the pad while undocking with flight assist off in a rotating station:
As Commanders would potentially undock from one of the large spinning stations in FA off, the station would shift away from underneath them causing quite the disturbance and occasionally resulting in them crashing into things.
Malfunctioning cargo hatches no longer prevent hyperspace jumps.
Issue of this type included:
“Can’t use FSD after deploying SLF and enemy hatch breaking your cargo hatch”.
Ship engine smoke trails no longer appear ahead of the ship after exiting Supercruise.
Condensation and ice effects have been fixed to be more pleasing(I chose that word and I’m sticking to it…’ACCURATE’ would be a better one but…) for the Python.
Scarab Cargo Bay changed from 2 to 4.
Tutorial
Ship-focused tutorials no longer allow on-foot actions such as disembarking.
An issue has been addressed whereby players reported being unable to enter the hangar at the end of the flight tutorial in Odyssey, resulting in them becoming “stuck”.
UI
Conflict Zone capture point icons are now be visible when in SRVs and Ships.
SRV Radar signatures will now no longer float in the air when at, for example, Barnacle Site.
An icon has been added to the Conflict Zone browser to show if players are wanted in the target system.
An issue has been fixed whereby the transfer popup would softlock/freeze up in some kind of way when attempting to make an item transfer from storage to backpack whilst in Ship.
Fix implemented for orbit lines being visible during loadout management UI when in Supercruise.
Several issues have been fixed with scrolling of comms panel social tab.
Notably, this one would
“On the Social tab of the on foot Comms Panel, the page does not scroll down accordingly when the arrow/WASD keys or mouse scroll wheel are used to select UI elements on the page – you can select and move down the menu via these keys just fine, but upon reaching the displayed bottom of the page the UI selection will then continue off-screen as the page does not automatically scroll down to keep these elements in view. As such, the only way to currently scroll down the page is to manually drag the scroll bar on the right which will then keep selected UI elements in view.”
Fixes have been made to incorrect text being shown in vehicle rolepanel displays.
Bookmarks can now be successfully made via the system map.
Codex
Fix implemented for the “distance travelled on foot” stat sometimes recording twice the actual distance travelled (a ‘feel less good about yourself’, fix).
Controls
Key binds preset will no longer reset when you open Horizons after Odyssey.
VR
Fixed Holo-Me character disappearing in VR when in close-up views.
Weapons
Fix implemented for railguns not firing in slots on the Beluga, Type 9, Krait, Type 10 & Fer De Lance.
Stations
Fix implemented for Stations (and Fleet Carriers in several instances) not spawning immediately when dropping out of Supercruise manually (no more pop-smash-bang!, hooray!).
On the 31st August 2021 Frontier released details of the upcoming changes to Odyssey. These can be seen below or on the offical site here. The release date for this update has not been confirmed, but is expected in September.
Greetings Commanders,
As we reach the end of the month, we are delighted to share our latest development update with you.
Issue Tracker
To kick things off we would like to update you on the key issues as voted for by our community on the Issue Tracker. Remember you can visit the Issue Tracker any time to vote for your top issues or make a report.
1. Lighting and Illumination in Odyssey
Since Odyssey’s launch we’ve made a large number of updates to in-game lighting to bring the experience more in line with Commander expectations. These changes included relighting ship cockpits, improving all materials and overhauling star light and station exteriors, to call out just a few.
Following the major changes in Update 6 we’ve now, based on your feedback, made additional changes to areas such as Fleet Carriers and exterior station lighting which will be deployed in Update 7.
Whilst we recognise that some Commanders may continue to have feedback around how the game is lit we feel that for the purposes of aiding further development this issue tracker entry, whilst still holding a number of votes, is no longer providing us actionable feedback to improve the game, with recent contributions unrelated to the specifics of the original report.
We will therefore mark this issue as fixed following the update, freeing up those votes to contribute to other issues in issue tracker. Of course if you observe any specific instances of poor lighting, please open a new issue tracker entry giving specific feedback.
2. Degraded terrain textures compared to Horizons
We’ve been monitoring your feedback following Update 6 and we are now satisfied that this issue has been largely resolved. This item will be marked as fixed with the final changes set to arrive in Update 7 – if you see specific instances please contribute to the issue tracker giving specific feedback.
3. FPS performance in Odyssey
Further improvements have been made in this area including optimisations to the Navmesh, lighting system, terrain, NPCs, glass shaders and scatter rock LODs. Our core code team is making good progress on more substantial optimisations, a number of which we expect to be included in Update 8.
4. Nothing to do on long shuttle rides
Update 7 will provide the opportunity for players to redirect Apex shuttles in transit, avoiding instances of players feeling trapped into long journeys. We will look to mark this issue as fixed in line with Update 7, freeing up your votes to contribute to other issues.
5. Invincible Thargoid Heart
We have identified a cause and are deploying a fix for this issue in Update 7, to ensure the fix has worked as intended, we will leave this issue open for a time. We would like to thank you for your patience with this issue and for your support in helping us to resolve it.
6. Frame Rate Drops post update 5
Update 7 will include changes to the games Navmesh which we believe resolves any potential performance impact from update 5. We will therefore be marking this issue as fixed following the release of Update 7 whilst retaining our wider focus on improving Odyssey’s performance.
The following issues will also be resolved in Update 7:
NHSS signals in Odyssey are Empty
Fleet Carrier and Module costs not included in overall wealth
Support missions are not widely available
Missions and Rewards are not shared with the team
A previously present codex entry is now missing
Stolen tritium cannot be donated into a fleet carrier’s fuel depot
Too much CC returned when systems revolt.
Mission Reward Material Missing
Deposit fragments stuck inside the rock
Unable to interact with Comms Panel in head look
Some rock scatter only visual in right eye in VR
Seeker and Packhound Missiles do double damage against shields
Choosing +Influence reward from missions gives no influence
CZ captain defence incorrectly rewards credit bonds for the enemy faction
In addition to Odyssey Update 7 we’re pleased to confirm that a number of these fixes and QoL improvements will be deployed to Horizons players on both PC and console in September – we will of course share full patch notes for both around release.
Upcoming Updates and Content
Please note: These are at varying stages of progress. This is not an exhaustive list of everything that is being considered. They are not final, so they are subject to change. We will keep you updated with news and details as they progress, and we expect the content to release over the coming few updates. With that said, here’s a look at just some of the features and content in consideration, to go alongside the other development work required for future updates.
The following items are planned to be included in Update 7 which is scheduled for mid-September:
Conflict Zone Anti-Air Defence and Dogfighting
Since the launch of Odyssey, many brave Commanders have dropped into Odyssey’s Conflict Zones to support their chosen faction in ongoing conflicts throughout the bubble. With Update 7 we’re taking Conflict Zones to the next level by rebalancing the sphere of combat, increasing the risk for airborne Commanders and introducing new gameplay for those on the ground.
Each active Conflict Zone will have new anti-air turrets to defend against airborne attack. Commanders in the air will need to work with those on the ground to disable them. In addition, AI ships will also be deployed to Conflict Zones for the first time, allowing Commanders to experience exhilarating in-atmosphere dogfights as the battle rages below.
You can see both of these in action in the video below:
Enforcer units coming to Conflict Zones
Following the deployment of Enforcer units to Odyssey’s military installations, we’ll be introducing rocket launcher equipped infantry to active Conflict Zones, increasing the risk for any Commanders hoping to pick off easy prey from the comfort of their SRV.
New Social Hub styles
These screenshots show some of the variation added for Update 7, making station interiors more clearly linked to their installation type. Changes include elements such as swapping out railings with alternatives, replacing crates and planters with other props to better suit the theme, using different partitions and wall pieces, swapping beams and roof sections, and adding pipes or more industrial looking geometry.
In addition, wealthy services and high tech stations now show less rubbish and junk on the floors, while the agricultural, industrial and asteroid stations are progressively more untidy.
Apex Redirect
You’ll soon be able to redirect your Apex shuttle mid-flight. Our UI team have been hard at work to make this a seamless experience with redirection options from the Navigation list, Galaxy and System Maps
Increased stored modules and bookmarks
Stored module and Bookmark limits will be increased from their previous limits to 200. We are pleased to be able to deliver this community request.
AMD Fidelity FX CAS
By popular demand, AMD Fidelity FX CAS will be reintroduced as an option in Update 7. This is mutually exclusive to FSR which has its own integrated RCAS system.
Here is a selection of the other features currently in development. As mentioned above, this is not an exhaustive list of everything that is being considered. They are not final, so they are subject to change. As we get closer to their release we will announce which of these will be included in each Update:
Horizons Cosmetics in Odyssey
Our character team have been hard at work overhauling Horizon’s flight suit cosmetics to make them compatible with Odyssey’s EVA suits. While we still have a little way still to go, you can see some of the results which we plan to bring to the game soon, below.
Four Player Multicrew
We’re pleased to share that we are making great progress on this feature, with a number of ships now in test with four Commanders on the bridge. More details will be released closer to release.
New Odyssey Engineers in Colonia
We’d like to introduce Rosa Dayette, one of Odyssey’s upcoming new Engineers based out in Colonia.
Born and raised in a starport within a feudalist system, Rosa had few obvious skills in her youth. She was an average student, suffered from stage fright and found athletic competition dull. But she did have a passion for mechanical things, fascinated by the constant stream of ships outside her apartment window. With a combination of donated, swapped and refurbished tools, she began to tinker on the gadgets in her home, looking to reverse engineer them to learn how the various components work.
Her natural talent blossomed, and over time she started working on her neighbour’s technology, patching up suits or manual equipment. This became helping out friends of friends, then distant acquaintances; as Rosa approached adulthood people from across the station would turn up at her door with things to fix. Her family apartment eventually resembled a workshop.
And yet she would rarely charge people credits for her time. Her enjoyment of the work and tendency to trade skills led her to accept favours instead of credits. A fixed datapad in exchange for homecooked meals. An upgraded power coupling for free apartment cleaning. Word of Rosa’s talents reached a local businessman who operated a suit supply store. An experienced mechanic himself, he offered Rosa an opportunity to help out at his shop in return for some second-hand suits, weapons and other equipment. Rosa accepted, drawn by the chance to examine far more interesting gear than the home appliances and commercial technology she was used to.
After many happy years of this arrangement, her mentor passed away. What little he had to bequeath was given to Rosa, along with a hand-written note asking Rosa to leave the starport and pursue her dream of a full workshop. Rosa did so, announcing to her friends that she would seek employment with an engineer. As word spread throughout the community, a collection was held to fund this new venture; the many Rosa had helped so selflessly, for so long, gladly contributed. To Rosa’s astonishment, it was just enough to establish her own workshop in Colonia.
Rosa found her local celebrity discomforting, having felt that helping the community was a responsibility rather than something notable. Yet deep down she recognises that she could have made a comfortable living from her talents, but chose to remain true to her principles. Now she enjoys total autonomy in a new community, excited by the opportunity while missing her friends dearly.
Mission feature extensions
Work is still ongoing to expand mission features for Odyssey with the aim to increase mission diversity and create stronger links between the in-cockpit and on foot gameplay. We hope to share more on this soon.
Megaship Social Spaces
Last but not least, we’re excited to share that work is now underway to bring social spaces to Megaships. This will allow us to position a base for on-foot services, such as Vista Genomics and Pioneer Supplies, anywhere in the galaxy.
As with previous development updates, what we’ve shared today is just a snapshot of what we’re working on. We will be sharing more details on the content mentioned above, further bug fixes, performance improvements and of course more as-yet-unannounced content in further monthly development updates and across our other channels.
Thank you as always for your continued feedback and support.
On the 10th August at 4:53pm Frontier released the latest news regarding the updates to Odyssey via their issues tracker. Perhaps the biggest news is that anti-aliasing will see a new system by the end of 2021 which should make a significant difference to the appearance of the game. Additionally there will be some as yet unnamed gameplay revolving around the Apex shuttle rides. The Issue Report will be updated roughly every two weeks.
Frontier have also confirmed via Supercruise News #44 that Update 7 (due in September) will see the introduction of the ability for players to re-direct the Apex taxi service.
Greetings Commanders!
I’d like to introduce you to something new. Below is our first Top 20 Issues table, summarising the highest voted issues on the Issue Tracker. As part of being open and honest about the game’s development, we’ll be regularly posting updated versions of this table and discussing it on our Supercruise News streams.
Note: the status and planned release of each issue is subject to change as various factors affect the ongoing development schedule.
On the 3rd August 2021 at 2:43pm Frontier released news of the latest Odyssey update. Details can be seen below, via the official forum or via the patch notes section of this website.
At approximately 14:30UTC/15:30 BST we will be bringing the Elite Dangerous: Odyssey servers offline in order to accomodate a small patch to address some current issues. Once again, this is Odyssey servers only. Downtime should be no longer than 15 minutes.
Updates of note:
The bartender has had a stern talking to. They now promise to no longer crash your game when you try and sell your goods to them.
There is a small chance that the bartender could be a little stubborn…If you encounter this issue again, give one of us a nudge.
An issue has been fixed whereby NPC’s would no longer use flashlights in the dark making it very hard to see…well…anything.
This fix also applies for Scavengers.
An issue has been fixed whereby Commanders were unable to aim down the sight of the Intimidator weapon.
Some players experienced a ‘Black Adder’ disconnect when purchasing and equipping a livery item. Instances of this should now be resolved.
An issue has been fixed whereby point defense turrets were failing to destroy hatch breaker limpets.
Fixed POI (retrieval) mission progression.
Some Commanders were experiencing an issue whereby they couldn’t hand in item retrieval missions. These instances are now fixed.
‘Hold E to Loot’ was proving an absolute nightmare for many. We’ve listened and understood, thereby reverting the action back to being a single button press.
An issue has been fixed whereby auto launch would eject ships to outside of mass lock range.
An issue has been fixed whereby torches would not be visible in the camera suite, nor on other players in an instance.
An issue has been fixed whereby Ship Launched Fighter crew would get a little overconfident with their acknowledgements
Things were a little hairy for a second!
An issue has been fixed whereby the Ship AI could disengage super cruise too close to stars.
An issue has been fixed whereby ambient occlusion would not render correctly at certain resolutions – including when using FSR.
“Balanced” can be selected in the FSR graphics options!
Courtesy of AMD: “Balanced mode produces a super resolution image approximating native rendering quality, with a major performance gain compared to native.”
Ultra Quality (1.3x Dimension Scaling, 1.69x Area Scaling, Resolution 77%)
Quality (1.5x Dimension Scaling, 2.25x Area Scaling, Resolution 67%)
Balanced (1.7x Dimension Scaling, 2.89x Area Scaling, Resolution 59%)
Performance (2.0x Dimension Scaling, 4.00x Area Scaling, Resolution 50%)
Fix for FSR not working with VR HMD virtual flatscreen.
Made some improvements to stability.
These are usually fixes to “random crashes” encountered by Commanders who send through crash logs. The issues lie often deep within code with non specific triggers of great detail.
On Thursday 29th July Frontier released update #6 for Odyssey. The patch notes can be seen below, here on the official site or in the full patch notes section of this website.
Deployment and Downtime schedule:
Servers for both Elite Dangerous Odyssey and Horizons will be offline across all platforms from approximately 13:45 UTC / 14:45 BST today, July 29.
Reasons for Horizons server downtime [general admin]:
A text update for a present galnet article.
A tweak to stop issuing blank mission tip offs (Also included in Odyssey).
Deployment should take no longer than around 15 minutes, give or take a moment or so.
Updates Of Note
Planets! Visual improvements to planet surfaces, colour and texture have been implemented.
Outfitting option added to purchase module and immediately store, instead of installing on ship (if you watched this week’s Supercruise News, this is the one Bruce wanted to shout about, but we needed a double check on status).
Camera Suite rework – Rather than allowing movement thorugh geometry and fading out the camera when occluded (“the blackout“), the camera now tests for collisions and prevents movement into collidable geometry (more info and discussion on these update 6 improvements can be found here).
AMD Super-resolution has now been integrated.
You should now experience an increase in game performance, as rendering is enabled at a lower resolution and then upscaled, rather than rendering at a constant full resolution.
There’s also the additional bonus of this integration making the game look even more beautiful.
Can be used to upscale the resolution when supersampling is set to less than 1x output resolution.
Enforcer Troops armed with rockets have been added into the game (they use the KA-L6).
A fix has been implemented for previously invisible scatter rocks and organics.
Ship ammo and heatsink stock will no longer replenish automatically when entering supercruise (sorry).
