As someone who bought into Elite Dangerous back in Premium Beta I dont have to worry about paying for Odyssey but im not sure I like the look of it.
For the last however many years its a game i go through phases with.
Played tons in Beta but put if down very quickly on release (before wings came out) as just felt id done what I wanted.
Picked it up very briefly when horizons came out but couldnt get into it.
Tried it again when i got my Rift S and loved it but quickly moved away.
Picked it up again when Covid first came around and hammered it unlocking all engineers in the bubble and all the guardian tech i wanted but hit the wall at ranger in exploration and dangerous in combat and drifted away again.
After watching odyssey trailers started playing again in smaller doses unlocked my corvette from burning stations (was half way there doing mail jobs before it come on) and slowly grinding out engineering mats and cash to build my corvette up.
The thing I've learnt you've got to set your own goals and try not to make them too far, I could do combat elite but it would suck all the fun out of the game and be night after night and compromised nav beacons or what ever, it will come slowly but surely it will come.
One of the things i am most interested in is VR switching in Odyssey, I use VR when im doing combat missions or sometimes mining but for other things i want to be able to have TV on or other stuff so VR locks me in to much, being able to switch on the fly i really like the sound of.
Also maybe someone on my friends list will actually start playing again, my list doesn't have a player who has fired up the game within the last 3 years, Space can be very lonely, and that could be an issue in Odyssey looking at the gameplay they have shown.
