They ended up tweaking engineering to a point where its tolerable, and mining became so cool. Exploration too. Those two gameplay loops are great.
But the game was unplayable without third party tools. Which was kind of fun, having them open in a second monitor added to the immersion, but without them you're shit out of luck. Those tools were how I knew how to sell my mining stock. It was also how pirates knew where to blockade, which made for awesome emergent gameplay.
I'm bummed that space legs ended up being a buggy mess, because I wanted them real bad. Mostly I wanted to do an EVA in deep space, hanging off my ship, and enjoying the sound design. I never tried it because I heard the update did something weird to planets.
Ah, for some reason I never got into mining. I stopped playing when I realized I was only logging in to participate in the latest gold rush and then stopping after FDEV patched to take it away.
The update did do something weird to planets. They regenerated them all and their terrain got a lot more same-same with fewer canyons and mountains. Texture popping got a lot worse for a while but they smoothed that out to tolerable.
Even still, Odyssey killed ED.
