Thursday hotfix 1: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-odyssey-hotfix-1.576023/ Odyssey BGS Changes: Odyssey Settlements will appear in different states, that reflect one of the BGS states afflicting their controlling Faction When two factions engage each other in a War, their Odyssey settlements will become battle sites and in turn host Conflict Zones. When a war is resolved, all battle sites will return to being standard settlements under the control of the faction that won the most Conflict Zones at that particular battle site during the War. Odyssey adds new actions which the player can carryout that have a knock on effect to the Security and Economy of a given Faction as well has increasing and decreasing the chance of certain states from occurring. New Triggers include: Killing AI Interacting with Settlements in different ways Selling different Goods to Bartenders Selling different Data Bartenders Logging Organics with Vista Genomics Completing Odyssey Missions “The dev Odyssey BGS update suggests that wars are triggered traditionally with crossing influence but each triggered war results in a traditional BGS war plus as many separate mini wars as the sum Odyssey settlement count of the affected factions.” Discussion: odyssey balancing with on foot missions, will/can the reward from a mission be worthwhile for the time investment. Discussion: crime and punishment.
