hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous an update to update 13 has just been
released now for tuesday the 9th of august 2022 and it also alludes to the anticipated conclusion
of the azimuth saga we're going to take a look at this press release what's going to be available
to horizons players and also what's going to be available to pc elite dangerous odyssey players
well with update 13 now being announced for the 9th of august and the announcement that
the azimuth saga which seems to be rattling on forever finally coming to an end this is
good news eh and you can't say that it hasn't been busy in the league dangerous recently
but with community goals upon community goals upon community goals trucking community goals
shooting community goals oh my god you know how many more community goals do we need
i want some different weapons i've got all the salvation ones i want to give the thyroids a good
old stuffing if you know what i mean but all this is going to come to a pinnacle an apex as it were
on august the 9th with update 13. they've also released when i say they it's the royal they it's
frontier and the elite dangerous team in what's going to be available between people who play
horizons and people who play odyssey now as we know and of course everybody knows that odyssey
is not going to be made available on the console it's a shame there it is no more needs to be said
pc players get the benefit of elite dangerous odyssey console players do not they do have
a little bit of the azimuth experience to get in game so let's have a look and see what you can get
in game if you're on a console and if you're playing it on pc with elite dangerous odyssey
so straight off the bat the big news is that update 13 is coming on tuesday the
9th of august 2022 but what they haven't said here is oh well you know we reserved
the right you know to have to hold it back of course they do there could well be you know
on the 8th of august hey you know something's gone wrong we've done some testing and it's all
gonna fall over we're holding it back a couple of days so don't be prepared for that to happen
and of course you know everyone wants to jump in and see that accumulation of the azimuth story
so what they say is it will always mark the beginning of the next major chapter in elite and
that conclusion of the azimuth saga and i don't know about you but it has been going on quite a
bit isn't it it's been good i think it could have been better but it's been going on quite a bit
anyway so what they're saying is it's all going to take place and kick off
in the system where i think everybody's been lately which is hip 22460 so apparently that's
where it's all going to be unfolding brilliant so what they then say is that between horizons
console players and odyssey now they state at the moment these different versions are 3.8
but horizons and version 4 for odyssey and they state as version 4 contains the foundational code
which supports odyssey content and a multitude of improvements added since odyssey's launch
3.8 does not brilliant so in the console update announcement that they made in match
they mentioned that aligning game development by releasing future content only on the post odyssey
code base some things people are going to be able to have something people are not going to be able
to have and that's what it all comes down to so they want people and players commanders whatever
we're calling ourselves to have the best possible experience with narratives and new narrative
things that you're not going gamepl have right so they say station concourses well you can't
have that in horizons can you no dramas you can't have fleet carrier interiors because you
can't walk about that's a horizons thing tenuous atmospheric planets so that is basically weak
atmosphere planets right um okay fair enough so you're not going to walk around on those they
also say that on foot gameplay where we knew this on foot points of interest again that's not going
to be available and you're not going to get the odyssey ranks great brilliant goes without saying
what's important to note though is that that in horizons there is going to be the scorpion srv
cool good on horizons people you're going to be able to catch up with what's happened on odyssey
and use the tank srv which is the scorpion great little tool that is no problem what's
also going to be included as well they've updated the graphics planetary rendering all improvements
performance graphics ui ux etc from post odyssey updates and planetary settlements on non-tenuous
atmospheric planets okay so you've got tenuous planets and then you've got atmospheric planets so
just in case you hadn't swallowed a dictionary with your cocoa pops this
morning the definition of tenuous is having little substance or strength flimsy or weak
so in relation to the statement where they make planetary settlements on non-tenuous
atmospheric planets being available in horizons and in odyssey i think it basically means is but
if there's a settlement there where you can get out and have a drive around you're gonna get one
right um tenuous atmospheric planets so flimsy substance weak
really light atmosphere take from that what you will so quite a few things they're bringing in
but perhaps one of the most important things there floor player multi-crew between players
on the same version brilliant four-player multi-crew between players on the same version
but does this mean if people are on horizons version 4 right on our console brill
can they play against pc players on odyssey version 4 as well and have that sort of like
that multi crew i'm not sure i'm not sure how that would work especially well i'm going to go
around on the planet what do you do stay on the ship i don't know who knows so what they say uh
with regards to how this affects the conclusion of the azimuth saga delivering on our promise
that's frontiers not mine of course to offer the best possible narrative content requires taking
full advantage of version four so what they're saying is upgrade to odyssey version four right
therefore horizons players will be able to witness the final event in the azimuth saga and
access related gameplay scenarios moving forwards all pc players will have access to the content
in the next narrative phase given they are single vision for accepting cases where on-foot
13 goes gameplay saying we know it's going to happen in the hip 2 2 4 6 0 system we know it's
going to be the accumulation of the azimuth saga and it marks the start of a new era in elite
dangerous and then there's one or two questions i've got there well perhaps the main one between
the four player multi crew between players on the same version i'm pretty sure it doesn't mean
console to pc play but hey they might have surprised us but i'm pretty sure they would
have mentioned that i reckon it's well if you've got horizons on pc and you're running odyssey on
pc and they're both version 4 then you are diamond but who knows they might surprise us anyway hope
