I've not yet landed on a planet with a blue sky. Anyone?
Not in Elite, but I have in a multiple other games. :) And skies with other colors as well, and biospheres, buildings, ... Frontier is a bit behind the curve on this. A blue sky is the easiest part. It's the rest that will be painful. Clouds, rain, storms, ...
 
There's a way to make it a whole lot easier. In a realistic universe, "living" planets are logically going to be few in number. If there's indeed base building, simply make it possible to make player "habitats" that you can then collect flora and fauna from a living planet to keep in your habitat. So you only need a dozen or so different planets to have all the habitat customization on "dead" worlds you'd ever need.
You will be able to build or buy bases/components. Like in the teaser trailer it has a single large landing pad, which undoubtedly descends into at least a small outpost below the surface. Imagine this as the initial "player base". If they were introducing animals and plants in a big way (bigger than currently in Horizons), we probably would have seen that in the trailer.

However, I agree with you that since we do have some creatures in Horizons it would be great to see FD expand that a bit. The leaks indicated fighting Thargoids in FPS, so that would be additional animals on foot. I just don't expect any sort of Earth-like experience. But seeing some more plants and maybe 'animals' on foot, yes.
 
Frontier,

...I love you. I do. But I need you to say, clearly, one way or the other: are we getting fully atmospheric planets? Will I be able to land on ELWs, or not? My fear is "no," because if we were going to get that, you would have said that...so SOME atmo world's, but not all?

Clarity. Please. Thanks!
 
I see the Steam store page for Odyssey does NOT include VR, as all other pc versions of Elite do. Looks like they get no more money from me.
I also will be upset if there is no VR support, but I can live without it if the update is good.

I'm also wondering if there will be more then one update. It will be a bit out of order if the only way to land on atmospheric planets is to have the update which then won't work in VR.
 
It should be. Im more interested how we are gonna control human player in VR with hotas tho :D

On serious note, as i understand life time pass holders automaticaly will have access to this content ?
 
Very excited for this!

My two biggest questions:
  1. Is there VR support for this expansion?

Lolwut? There has been VR support in Elite almost since the beginning, why would you think this expansion wouldnt have VR support? :D
Like, you fly in VR, then you land and you have to take the headset off because youre walking now? :D

Yes, there will be VR support, 100% guaranteed.
