Operations
Operations are multiphase scenarios.[1] This will be released in early 2026.[1] The Odyssey expansion is required, because it includes on foot gameplay.[1]
Overview
These can take place both on-foot and in space.[1] It's designed to offer you and up to 3 other commanders challenging obstacles to overcome.[1] Explore some parts of ED never seen before such as the internals of a megaship in a hostile environment.[1]
The initial release will launch with multiple operations, with more being added overtime, and at various levels of difficulty.[1] In the long-term you can expect some operations to revolve around combat, some around mining, and more elements of ED as the feature expands.[1] Operations will be repeatable and give you access to rewards that are hard to obtain elsewhere in the galaxy.[1]
Scenarios
Here's a list of operation scenarios.
