hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous yes folks it's friday
and what seems to be every friday we get a new update about elite dangerous odyssey
well this elite dangerous odyssey update q a is about footfall that landing on planets experience
and stephen bendetti the community manager has put this post up now he says greetings
commanders well always a good start we're back this week to answer more of your burning questions
on elite dangerous odyssey this week we are focusing on the brand new first football system
will i be able to disembark on every planet i can land on good question odyssey will allow
players for the first time to disembark their ships and srvs and explore the galaxy on foot
the ability to disembark however is subject to the survivability of the environment
with temperature and gravity both playing a part in the length of time you can survive in
extreme conditions the ability to disembark will be blocked completely so let's answer the question
will i be able to disembark on every planet i can land on no
it'll all depend on environmental issues okay next up we've got is first footfall available to
be claimed for every planet the galaxy of elite dangerous isn't new the year is 3307 and humans
have been exploring space for more than 1 300 years planets and moons in human occupied systems
along with particular bodies of historical significance will have first football already
claimed again so the answer is no because people have been out and about jumping up and down on
planets okay how does odyssey affect the number of landable planets in the game the number of
planets that will be landable for the first time in odyssey will be in the billions but to give you
a more tangible reference point based on regions we've tested so far odyssey will have around 20
more landable planets than the base game and when i mean the base game they mean horizons which has
now been merged with the base game so it's all the base game so there you go if i join after launch
will i still be able to experience first footfall elite dangerous is a huge and expansive galaxy
containing more than 400 billion star systems to date our players have traversed just 2.3
million of these systems which equates to around 0.05 percent in the same way that a new commanders
continue to join the world of elite and make their own personal discoveries we have no doubt
that commanders will have the opportunity to make their own discoveries for many years to come how
quickly will first football accolades be claimed your achievement will be displayed alongside the
names of those who first discovered and landed on the planet which you can find in the system
is there a limit to the number of places i can get feet first
on in a set amount of time we won't be imposing any limits but
it will be naturally limited by the speed at which you can travel between planets fair enough and can
first football achievements be disputed in the same way we monitor first in the live game today
our anti-cheat team will be monitoring the system and will not hesitate to revoke first football if
obtained by illegitimate means i wonder how that's gonna happen are there new discoveries wrecks etc
that i can get first football for first footfall is recognized and recorded at a planetary level
and not for individual points of interest so if you want to be first in at the thyroid base for
example or a crushed a crushed anaconda then it's actually when you land on that planet fair enough
if i change my name will the first footfall change with it similarly to records of other
retrievements first football is treated as historical record and be recorded with the
commander's name at the time of exploration this will not change with any of the name changes
so there what happens if two people land first at the same time in the same way that buzz
aldrin made way for neil armstrong to be the first man on the moon to control the disembark
is for an individual commander the control to disembark is for an individual commander
interesting and there will always be someone first down the ladder this accolade will not be shared
between commanders so don't go giving it any rg bhaji and bustling around to get out of that
exit ramp and get first footfall it's exactly what's going to happen anyway keep an eye out
on here for our social channels for more exciting news and updates on elite dangerous
odyssey and he gives a good old seven um not bad so a few things we can pick up from that
let's look at it from the top again we're able to disembark on every planet i land on no is
first football available to be claimed for every planet well it depends if someone's already been
on it or not isn't it how does odyssey affect the number of landable planets well you get about 20
more landable planets with odyssey over the old horizons if you join after launch can
you still get first footfall well all depends really doesn't it you know there's only 2.3
million of these systems that have been explored so get out into the black how quickly will the
accolades be claimed your name will be displayed as soon as you get it is there a limited number of
places i can get feet first well no depends how quickly you can get between all these planets
how will first four be disputed well they will monitor it as they monitor with anything with
the anti-cheat which is great and you know to be fair on this game you don't need cheating do you
what about wrecks etc or is it just down to planets it's just about planets can you change
your name and will it change with your credit of your first football no it'll be as your name
as you set foot on it and don't go barging down the exit ramp be gentlemen and ladies about this
first down on the planet gets the footfall and it's not shared amongst you and your
crew so there you go few more things about elite dangerous odyssey i've been ricardo thanks very
