hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous and elite dangerous odyssey
with update 7 and hotfix 7.1 well and truly in our rearview star port mirror
we can start concentrating on what's going to be coming in update 8. update 8 had some
features that were announced and a snazzy video which we all got to look at that showcased
some of these features at the beginning of the week however there were some things that weren't
mentioned that are coming in future updates that have got everybody in a tis however though
we're gonna get emotes so you can point at things and wave at people we're gonna get
increased multi-crew in ships that can support it we're also going to get mega ship interiors
so once you've docked that lovely mega ship you can get out have a walk around
not entirely sure how that's going to work because some mega ships will have different
configurations but hey we'll see how it goes and also horizons cosmetics will be appearing in
odyssey as well so four player multi crew is going to be great the emotes are going to be absolutely
fantastic no longer you have to be ducking down and jumping up and down looking like some weirdo
in a bar to gesticulate what you're looking at or even just run and just stand there looking
like a nadi you can actually point all things considered some great quality of life updates
however let's address the elephant in the room performance performance is the key thing and
let's face it you know that should should have been front and center for all of this
they did also allude as well in their post on their forum to content future updates of course
this is going to include a twin seat combat srv now the srv we've got so far is a recon srv the
vodal scarab you know one seat as we know two tons of storage turret on the top shields scanner you
know it you know love it or hate it it's what we've been having since season two uh all the
way back in horizons that's gonna get you know a friend a new twin seat srv that'll be good shame
we couldn't get something like a four seater since you got four seats you know in in multi
crew but hey we'll take what we can get fleet carrier interiors as well is gonna be a thing
um and the reception to the announcement of mega ship in interiors uh the dev team of
two environment thoughts hey well let's do this for fleet carriers that's gonna be good as well
because again that's highly configurable with all the additional modules you can have so it's gonna
be interesting to upgrade a fleet carrier and then once you've upgraded that fleet carrier see where
it puts the module and how the map changes is it just going to be a blank storefront for example
if you haven't got outfitting uh all that sort of stuff and where can you walk around and what
can you do when you're walking around in a fleet carrier that's going to be the key thing what i'm
hoping for really is what a lot of people have said either online on youtube videos or on the
forums is that we actually get a window to stick our head through so we can see that fantastic
sequence of the fleet carrier either jumping away or arriving i mean it's a great sequence and it's
being totally underutilized either way i think we're gonna have some additional mission additions
and improvements that's gonna be great because the ones we've got in odyssey at the moment and i know
commanders on consoles um i'm not rubbing this in but you know and you haven't played them it's
getting a bit stale for us pc players you know same old thing i know with update seven we've
got the addition of anti-air turrets and you know take the turret down and all the rest of it um
but we need more we need more content you know more content that is indeed what we
need so that's generally what we're going to be getting i'm very excited in the future
for the srv and you know a little bit yeah okay with fleet carriers definitely looking
forward to mission additions and improvements uh especially on the ground-based missions as for
what's coming in eight four-player multi-crew if it works it'll be fantastic and i will applaud it
odyssey engineers in colonia well to be fair i haven't really knocked about that much with the
ones that have been put into odyssey in the bubble mega ship interiors well again we're gonna have to
see what's that gonna bring us um otherwise somewhere else to walk around again if the
performance is good it'll be fantastic and that is the key thing that frontier really have to check
out and get sorted out in my honest opinion all in all a great announcement a good little video
and some future announcements as well to whet our appetite so that's what we know so far about
update 8 in elite dangerous and elite dangerous odyssey i've been ricardo thanks
very much for watching check back for more videos in the series and i'll see you soon
you
