hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous odyssey with update 8
not only had many other improvements but we've had a couple of missions bolted onto the ground-based
side of things in particular this video will deal with collection missions now collection
ground-based missions in the league dangerous odyssey are this you go and meet somebody
they give you an item you take it back to the station where you picked up the mission
sounds riveting doesn't it well not really
now these collection missions are obtained from the transportation screen when you go into your
mission select as you can see i've got to go and secure a package from a particular individual
you travel to the system you meet up with said individual they will give you said item
you bring that item back to where you got the mission from couldn't be easier eh and and it is
quite simplistic it's a nice quick and easy way of getting additional materials to engineer your suit
or your weapons right you know you're gonna find all those materials there nice and easy here i am
i've selected where i'm gonna go i'm at the apex stand i'm going to book a shuttle nice quick easy
can't be bothered flying there in my ship probably costs too much anyway so into the apex shuttle
flying my way over to the system in choice and go and pick up all the stuff that i need
now in true satellite navigation style i have arrived at my destination and my destination
being a base all in darkness because hey it wouldn't kill anyone to keep all the lights
on would it anyway so here we are we're going to make our way over to the main structure
find ourselves a terminal and once we've found a terminal
we are going to be able to locate the particular individual via looking at the staff list
now like finding items in the facility the staff member you need will be marked with a little blue
circle to say that it's a mission item once they've been tagged they'll appear
in the top head directional compass thing now there they are straight away they're only like
four meters away from the landing pad and there's my particular individual i need to talk to
noah ritter and they say do you have the item yes my good man i do have that item and as a result
i will give it to you once you give them the item and i'm being scanned by another soldier behind me
so good job you know it wasn't contraband that's it i can get on my way now how could this be made
a little bit more engaging well we've had emotes put into the game for example so you meet your
individual right i get it you pick up your item from the station and you're going to deliver it
to a person right or you're going to collect an item from a person you go up to that particular
person you either give them a code or you give them a special handshake or a wave it wouldn't
have killed frontier to say and when you meet this person you must say right what's the special
code so you press a wave a thumbs up a shakier hand and another wave ah it must be you dave
sent you that would be a little bit better might be a little bit laborious but for some missions
of a more clandestine nature for example it could have acted as as a little bit more of an engaging
gameplay i don't know i'm just spitballing here i might well just be talking complete and utter
rubbish but i've been completely underwhelmed with these new missions that they've put in especially
the smuggling mission when i thought well i've got a video on that as well but when i thought
that would be a little bit more like you know sub-diffusion a bit sneaky beaky no it isn't just
rock up and say um here's your stuff and then it's back off to the station to correct your reward
to build up materials for your suit and your weapons dead easy nice and easy and i would
advise use the apex shuttle because you can do something else while you're actually grinding
away for those materials for your suit anyway i've been ricardo thanks for watching this
i would say lackluster video on the new missions in elite dangerous odyssey post update 8.
hope you found it useful i'll see you soon
you
