Welcome to the first Witchspace news of 2021. Frontiers conducted their first Ask Me Anything session of 2021 on the official forums on Wednesday, as always there's a summary of what was said on Reddit collated by Stuart GT which I've linked below. The two particular standout facts that we found interesting were, the minimum PC system specs for running Odyssey are expected to be similar to those of the current version of the game, meaning if you can run Elite now you should have no trouble running Odyssey. And the team confirmed that the transition from ship to foot gameplay will be similar in nature to the current SLF and SRV deployment transitions, whilst it wasn't specifically confirmed we're guessing that means you'll appear in some sort of airlock and then step outside rather than just popping into existence at the foot of the steps. Whilst we're talking about getting more information about Odyssey the community team have said that there are more answers from the development team expected to drop today at the time of recording so as soon as we have access to those we'll bring them to you here so if you're not already subscribed to the channel hit the button now and make sure you don't miss anything. And one final piece of frontier news just before Christmas the community management team for Elite expanded again with the addition of Zac. Zac has already appeared on a couple of live streams since joining and seems to be settling in with the rest of the team well. Welcome to the Galaxy Zac. The prolific streamer Malik famous for streaming in VR and for his well presented Pro Thargoid theories completed a new world record speed run from Sol to Beagle Point on the opposing side of the galaxy on the first day of the new year during a live stream event. In total the trip took a staggering 5 hours 48 minutes and 9 seconds. The previous record for the journey was 5 hours 52 minutes and 28 seconds. There's an archive of the entire stream up on Twitch at the time of recording if you want to check it out I've linked it below. And while we're talking record achievements Sniperman 672 of the AXI achieved what's being called the first Icosa Goid facing off Solo in one instance against 20 Thargoid interceptors all at the same time and emerging victorious after a nearly 2 and a half hour fight yes 20 Thargoids 2 and a half hours. There's a video of the entire Titanic battle on YouTube linked below just the opening shot of the video is enough to make your blood run cold do check it out well done to both Sniperman and Malik for some amazing record breaking illiterate that's it for now thanks very much for watching we'll be back later this week with more videos until then 07 Commanders follow the Greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack we very much look forward to seeing you next time.
