Greetings Commanders!

At approximately 07:00 UTC / 08:00 BST today, we deployed 'Update 5' to address a number of issues and implement some quality of life improvements to Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.

Patch notes reflecting such can be found down below for you.
These are split into two, individual posts for a more convenient break down.


Updates Of Note

• Shared Missions added.
  
• Outfitting UI flow updates.
  
• All ship cockpit lighting updated.
  
• Neutron star brightness rebalanced.
  
• Softened AI crime scanning behaviour to be more lenient.
  
• Increased the chance of finding rare materials at fumaroles.
  
• Improved terrain fidelity on legacy settlements and planet ports.

Shared Missions

• All of the missions added in Odyssey can now be shared with your teammates.
  
• Players who are in a team will now see a 'share' button on any Odyssey mission transaction panel entry.
  
• Clicking the 'share' button will share that mission with all current teammates.
  
• Teammates have the option to accept or decline this invitation.
  
• Once a shared mission is accepted, that player will see the mission's contents in their transaction panel and continue to get updates as the mission progresses.
  
• Teammates who are part of the shared mission through to completion will be eligible for a similar selection of rewards as the player who picked up the mission.
  
• Shared mission rewards are picked up from the mission board at the port the mission was originally obtained from.
  
• Reward options for teammates the mission was shared with are restricted to credit, reputation, or item-focused reward options.
  
• Influence-focused reward options are not available to non-mission-owning players (this means that the successful completion of one mission will result in the same impact on influence as before this update).
  
• Items extracted by teammates on the shared mission will automatically be moved to the mission owner's inventory upon embarking into a ship or otherwise departing the area.
  
• Teammates participating on a shared mission who suffer from a critical injury (where they would normally lose their backpack contents) will not cause the mission to fail. If this player was holding an item important to a shared mission, it will now be dropped onto the floor and can be recovered by another player.
  
• Players who are active on the shared mission will also see mission critical objects highlighted on settlement terminals, and will be able to mark these for their teammates.

AI

• Fixed an issue where AI could become stuck if they are unable to navigate to one another for conversations.
  
• Fixed the helmet state being set incorrectly on AI that were spawned by a different client (Some AI were basically seen without helmets when they should have had them).
  
• Scan position and warning status resets once the scan animation starts, to prevent issues seen with AI escalating before finishing the intended scan behaviour.
  
• Fixed an exploit where players could jet pack away from scans without repercussions.
  
• Fixed an issue that could cause AI to not spawn at higher difficulty levels.
  
• Smoothed AI pathing as they navigate around between areas of interest (AI will walk around more naturally in their set directions).
  
• Fixed an issue with mutliple AI picking the same patrol routes.
  
• Updated handling of AI patrol routes to be more robust when players join instances at different times.
  
• Fixed an issue where multiple AI could assign bounties to a player for the same instance of trespassing.
  
• Improved the AI investigation behaviour when a suspicious target is in an unreachable position.
  
• Fixed an issue preventing settlement hostility from being transferred to other players vessels when boarding a teammate's ship.

Audio

• Fixed some audio issues with the grenade timer and pin pull. They should get obstructed correctly now too.
  
• Fix for the FSD jump sound on NPC and other people’s ships not always being audible at certain distances. This was often silent when dismissing your own ship.
  
• Additional fix to the cargo bay ambiences being audible in the cockpit of some ships in certain conditions, or even outside the ship. This often occurred in the sidewinder, and was made more obvious due to the close proximity of cockpit to cargo bay. The offending sound should now remain nicely audible when being deployed as an SRV or conflict zone combatant, but not other situations.
  
• Fix the sound for conflict zone battle stats UI screen pop up sounding too much like a grunt!
  
• Mix improvements on the conflict zone UI sounds.
  
• Fix for metal surface footsteps coming through the rear channels when in surround sound. Should be consistent now.
  
• Reduced volume of a very loud industrial tank ambient spot sound, that exists on the exterior of some buildings sometimes.
  
• Fix for station menu ambiences going silent, if you exit a menu screen and then go back to the same one very quickly before the first one has faded out.
  
• Various fixes to grenade bounces. Mix improvements, should be more consistently audible now. Fixed the concrete grenade bounce that sounded odd. Fixed the thump which was sometimes quiet. Improved the obstruction on the bounces.
  
• Fixed a few of the system map ambiences (from each planet type) that were a bit harsh sounding.
  
• Fix for the plasma flyby sounds sometimes getting stuck on.
  
• Fixed one of the planetary ambiences that wasn’t looping correctly.
  
• Fix for the first shot of a burst of automatic weapon fire sounding too prominent at certain distances.
  
• Removed a couple of apex vendor voice lines which were a little misleading, for example saying the shuttle is ready to depart even though it isn’t.
  
• Fix for passenger cabin allocation UI sound becoming higher pitched and inaudible after it’s been used a few times.
  
• Various mix improvements on combat. Including:
  
• Fix for hit notification blips sometimes losing their attack/bite and therefore getting lost in the mix.
  
• Bullet whizbys (great word, right?), impacts on self and hit notification blips, should all sit in the mix more comfortably.
  
• Improvements to the way weapons that are firing at the player get volume and priority boosts.

• Fixed an issue where shooting allies in ship vs ship conflict zones didn't cause them to elicit a "friendly fire" response.
  
• Fixed "combat bond awarded" notification appearing in situations where no bond has actually been awarded (e.g. killing an ally in a conflict zone).
  
• When a side of an on foot conflict zone goes below 750 points, new players should not be able to join the instance, this now has the exception of wing members of players already in the instance.
  
• Fixed an issue where when in a wing, members of the enemy team didn't always appear red and allied team members didn't always appear green.

• The referral resource is now hidden if the player hasn't selected the 'refer me to another engineer' conversation option yet.

See you in the black, Commanders.

Greetings Commanders.

With the launch of Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, we have been monitoring the effects it has had in relation to the Background Simulation.

We have been collating Commander gameplay data throughout the last week. Using this data, we will be making changes today to balance out the effects Odyssey missions have on the Background Simulation This will bring them in line with existing mission effects in Horizons.

We are aware of a number of concerns raised from player communities around the impact Odyssey has had on the Background Simulation. We will continue to monitor this closely going forwards.

These changes will take effect as of 15:00 UTC / 16:00 BST today.

Fly safe, Commanders o7

Greetings Commanders,

Today at 16:00 UTC / 17:00 BST, we released a minor update to resolve an issue where the loadout section of the role panel UI would persist above other sections.

There is no server downtime associated with this update.

o7

Greetings Commanders,

Today at 07:00 UTC / 08:00 BST, we released a patch to address a number of issues in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.

In addition to the change list below, we would like to reassure you that we are aware of other concerns raised from our community, which aren't addressed in today's update.

We continue to investigate your concerns around performance, UI and Odyssey’s planetary tech and will share information with you as soon as we have it.

In relation to performance we'd also like to note that today’s update includes additional telemetry to allow us to better understand the performance issues experienced by players, which in turn will help us form our ongoing roadmap.
