Water World-Like Landing - Thickest Odyssey Atmosphere Yet | Elite Dangerous

Believe your eyes, this commander is practically landing on a Water World; minus the liquid. Through rendering fog, this landable body is a must see for its thick dark blue atmosphere and unique biological life.

The pixelation that was happening with the mountains is reminiscent of rain storms on the horizon. Blame it on the update or my machine (although my PC is well equipped for the game). There's something very special about this world!

Location: PLIO AIP QM-W D1-48 2 A ~ Norma Expanse

Hopefully we've caught a glimpse of things to come. Flowing water would be amazing in Elite.

For any who visit here, please let me know what your landing was like in the comments below.

We've had eyes on this discovery from members of the GEC and the moon looked different for them. Turns out this phenomenon *may only occur when the parent gas giant is eclipsing its star, * causing the dark blue atmospheric hue. More investigation from any willing explorers is welcome.

[Kakeyoro]

Really gives us a glimpse of what COULD be in ED...

[dan_acostacap]

We need more planets like these. So immersive and majestic.

[peterwotherspoon]

That is gorgeous. I love the different tones of blue for the distant hills.

[cmdrHeliaxx]

Wow, this looks beautiful :D Water atmosphere generally is probably my most favourite in elite, together with Oxygen.

[EchoNovemberDelter]

Just a heads up-
Due to the parent planet moving out of the proper eclipse alignment, it'll be about 7.3 years until this phenomenon can happen again. Don't waste your time going to check it out.

[MarkZeroGaming]

That's amazing! Never seen an atmosphere that thick yet!

[tomriley]

Awesome! Perhaps one day, always thought some of the ED ships look like they were designed with the intention of being able to fly underwater (and appropriately named) as was mentioned in the original ED manual for the Moray starboat.

[TheBamaChad-WCHD]

Great video. It's amazing what these vastly different worlds can appear

[MrRocksW]

Wow, amazing that this exists in odyssey. Hopefully a sign of things to come

[FakeJeep]

Never seen anything like that before, but will definitely keep my eye open.

[tmseh]

This video just convinced me to get E.D..

[madmage]

I haven’t played or followed Elite for years but after watching this I feel like installing it again, never knew you could jump out of your ship and roam around, seems like I have a lot of catching up to do!

[cmdrbuzz]

I’m in the Norma Expanse currently so will def give this place a visit 👍🏻 Great video Cmdr 👍🏻

[dumpster]

Thank you CMDR for showing us the beauty of that game. o7

[jonwar]

This is wonderful, I have no idea if I can even get there yet but I'll be damned if anything tries to stop me.

[MrGrownman]

Man this game has its moments. Which is why I still play it. I still have hope that the devs will surprise the PC community with Earth like planets and water planets landing now that they do not have to worry much about certain features being to much for the consoles to handle.

[wwtoonlinkfan]

Just arrived here. While I haven't yet been able to experience this phenomenon, the views are excellent regardless.

[suspectedcrab]

I would shit my pants approaching this planet, thinking the entire time in my head the map is wrong and this is a gas giant.
