Ah ok no- then you’re 100% right. Those terminal menu are broken 50% of the time.
IIRC, there’s patch incoming for this weekend.
thats good to know
I was watching someone’s YT feed earlier and they came up against the same problem. I would have just given up like you, but they kept exploring and eventually found the combination in one of the settlements terminals.

I want some pics, it sounds good. I don’t mind if it’s in alpha. Have you shot anyone yet?

just been trying a less ambitious mission … pick up some documents, it went like this …
hired taxi, and flew to target … found a terminal and locted documents … (mission stated, in container 7 in habitat.) was actually in container 7 but not located in habitat … found container 7 and opened, retrieved documents.
made way back to landing pad … right how do i call taxi back …unknown …so went back into building for a terminal … ran past a guard who wanted to scan me, he turned hostile and started shooting, I tried shooting back with my airsoft pistol … you can guess the rest …
so how do you call the taxi back ?

Yeah, about those terminals…
I couldn’t get the interaction to work for them unless I was up close and so off center that I couldn’t even see the majority of the screen. Put in a ticket on that bit.
When I log in tonight, I’ll try and see if any delivery missions are showing up.
That part I was also struggling with, and the local chat was no help.
Anybody?

Sorry I forgot what my Screenshot key was… This is the meagre result.
I’m so sorry. Got to go to bed.
Tomorrow I’ll get better ones.

Very nice! Can you sit in the taxi with someone else as yet, as in, is it multiplayer in all bits as yet?

I honestly didn’t even try MP.
You know… it’s an environment without any consequence with loads of weapons and little to no rules soo…
but if there’s anyone who has Odyssey and wants to try…
ADDENDUM: As you can see above (first and second pics) I could open GALNET while in transit and read the news while I was Taxied around…

I’m now launching the game without Odyssey to take some screens of Planets “before” to do a comparison as soon as the final Odyssey drops…

I’ll definitely get this, I’ve had so many hours in Dangerous and Horizons it makes sense. The idea of a ‘squad’ doing shooty or stealth missions on foot, with top cover of people in ships sounds good fun. I don’t mind exploring or flying in SP, but a nice tactical squad mission in MP sounds great to me.

What I can tell you- is that Combined arms is going to be present.
Like… four CMDRs can take on a mission all in one ship, then one can depart that ship in an SRV, another on foot (I’m not an optimist enough to claim there’ll be SRVs with APC/IFV functions…) and the other two can provide air support with the Ship and the SLF.
Or any other permutation.
Mind you, this is not a I hope this will be implemented, this was openly declared.
Only unclear limitations are the actual number of CMDRs present in a single instance and/or the ownership of the vehicles involved.
ACRONYMS:
CMDR/s - Commander/s, Elite Dangerous human player/s
SRV - Surface Recon Vehicle, an eight wheeled/legged land vehicle armed with plasma repeaters and protected by shields.
APC - Armoured Personnel Carrier, unarmed/lightly armed vehicle used to carry troops in battle.
IFV - Infantry Fighting Vehicle, an APC used to carry infantry into battle and provide direct-fire support both against enemy infantry and APCs/IFVs.
SLF - Ship Launched Fighters, spacecraft designed to support main Spaceships and other friendly vehicles/infantry

you have to bind a key to bring up a menu, its under the on foot mode select, and its called open access panel, bookng an apex taxi is in a sub menu there.
just completed my first mission, went for the easy transport type… spent longer in the taxi than on the ground 
but made 68k credits …

As someone who failed to really understand ED, I know I should keep my opinion to myself. And I also know that from a market and fanbase perspective, what they have done is not wrong. But this Halo-Meets-ARMA stuff is not all that interesting. When I heard about Odyssey I knew combat would play a role, just as it does with the rest of the game. But I figured that this would be more about exploration and resource mining. Wild West in space, as a genre, is a bit overdone in my opinion. Maybe I was imagining No Man’s Sky and we know how that worked out.
