[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey] 12 Updates Later...
...spoilers: it's still bad!!
I have come to the realization that even if the performance issues are somehow fixed, this kind of gameplay just simply will never be fun. So now we must wait for Frontier to realize this too and give up on 'fixing' Odyssey, and just go back to the ship-based space game formula that was working well enough up until this point.
