Will Adding New Ships to Elite Dangerous Odyssey Save the Game in 2024?

Will adding new ships to Elite Dangerous Odyssey save the game in 2024?

Back on December 14, 2014 Elite Dangerous went live. Consistently year after year up until December 11th 2018 Fdev pumped out new ships for the players to enjoy. This was all before my time because I actually had no idea that Elite Dangerous even existed.

I was really into No Man’s Sky back then but one fateful day youtube recommended an Obsidian Ant video about some insane space game that was dangerous but also seemed to quench my desire to find a more realistic space game. To bring me closer to my dream of being an astronaut.

Needless to say after watching his video on June 14th, 2019 I dropped 60 bucks on the Elite Dangerous Commander Deluxe Edition. I immediately jumped right into the game and within about 30 minutes I almost requested a refund through steam. Had I done that out of frustration I would have missed out on countless adventures that lead to many lasting friendships.

When I first started playing Elite Dangerous it was about 6 months after Fdev stopped releasing new ships on a regular basis. It could realistically happen at any time but for me I was just trying to learn how to play the game. There were already tons of ships for me to buy and try out and they all seemed to be suited for a purpose.

Not a single Commander who played back then could fully understand that no more new space ships would be added to Elite Dangerous until 2024. Days turned into weeks that accumulated into months then into years. This is a space game centered around ships. Well it was until the Odyssey expansion landed on May 19, 2021. The Odyssey expansion was an attempt to meld the on foot experience with the ship experience.

After Odyssey there was an update to Fleet Carriers that allowed Commanders to fully walk around the inside of their massive spaceship. The interior was carpmentalized in such a way that if you added the bay to your Fleet Carrier it would have that bay physicalized for you to walk around in and to interact with. At this point I feel most Commanders believed that ship interiors could someday become reality.

Don’t get me wrong ship interiors would be a godsend but what I would love most of all are a few new ships to play around with while inhaling metric tons of hopium hoping for ship interiors or on foot combat with the Thargoids themselves. However I would settle for new ships that are almost purpose built for certain tasks.

As a member of the Elite Partner program I am tossed a crumb of information from time to time. When I first received the email about four new purpose built ships coming to Elite Dangerous in 2024 I was extremely excited to say the least. Especially when it has to do with my favorite ship in the game. The Glorious Python MKII is going to be right up my alley I can assure you. I don’t care what its purpose is going to be. I'm going to fly the hell out of it the second I can get my hands on it.

In all my years of playing Elite Dangerous I never got to experience what it was like to have new space ships added to the game on a regular basis. Once I started making content it was obvious to me that everyone and their brothers, uncles, cousins, former roommates were either talking about or constantly playing Elite Dangerous as their chosen space game. The views were absolutely ridiculous during that time.

The thing is I lost touch with how I first fell in love with Elite Dangerous. It wasn’t the engineering grind, or making piles of space cash. It was simply flying a ship I loved just exploring space. Seeing what my ship and I could discover in the vastness of the milky way galaxy. That is where the magic of Elite Dangerous can be found.
