Honestly, sometimes I wonder if people realise what Odyssey has managed (mostly) to achieve. Most FPSs only have to worry about your immediate environment. Never mind tracking all the bullets and gunfire when things kick off. Elite Dangerous: Odyssey invites you to become a true pioneer. Be the first to step out onto countless unique planets as you discover land untouched since time began. Explore distant worlds on foot and expand the frontier of known space. The sun can rise as you're fighting, so all that lighting has to be rendered too. Disembark, Commander, and leave your mark on the galaxy in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey. There's always going to be a trade-off.īear in mind all the planets/moons/etc in the the entire system are being calculated and moved as you wander around, as well as prices and missions being updated, etc. If they were smarter the frame rates would be in single digits, or you'd face one lone enemy at each base. That's true, space leg AI seems more intensive then it needs to be despite them being fairly dumb. If you've ever visited a deserted settlement in Odyssey (vs one with NPCs walking around) you'll notice the frame rate is about twice as high when they're empty of people.

Bear in mind stations in 3.8 won't be rendering the concourse and tracking every footstep for every NPC wandering around after you enter the instance.
