So, will you attend the case physically or use VR? Eventually, they'll develop VR for Oddysey, but if you sue them and win then no one will have VR. Can you imagine the horror of VR-less world? I for one tremble at night, cold with sweat, constantly thinking about it.
ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement

Agreed, I am the same, there's no more development going on in the game for VR players after fleet carriers so it's a dead end for me.

Maybe you should read the license agreement. You may be able to get a refund on a LEP but any cash you spent skins and ship kits is gone forever. if you think non mandatory dlc dissatisfaction entitles you to a refund for paint jobs you be even more upset than you already are

Not understanding something, generally isn't a good beginning of claiming you're right.
I bought this game because VR. That is absolutely the one and only reason I play ED. Without VR I simply wouldn't be interested in playing. I love the game in VR. It's better than any other computer game I have played since I started in the late 1970's. I also know how much work is going into making a game like this, having done 3D modelling and animation for more than 30 years.
Still, without VR this is just another game, and you can feed pigs with those.

Nice find. I remember reading that article (or a similar one) back then.Here is an interview from April 2014 that answers the question...
How Frontier is bringing Elite: Dangerous to VR - MCV/DEVELOP
David Braben discusses what the studio is doing to adapt its upcoming game to virtual realitywww.mcvuk.com
From the article that was published on 11th April 2014, which was during beta pre release, in reponse to the article 'How Frontier is bringing Elite: Dangerous to VR', David Braben OBE had this to say:
Why did you decide to add VR support to Elite: Dangerous?
It was something requested by backers, but also something we wanted to do too. We have said from the start that we are writing this game for ourselves, and collectively we were excited by VR.
How did this affect the overall development of the game? What did you have to take into account when adding VR functionality?
It hasn’t especially affected the game’s development because it was such a natural fit. We had to bear in mind that most people would still play the game without VR. From our alpha test, nearly ten per cent of players played using Oculus Rift – it was a surprise to us that it was so high, given the kit that is out now is essentially a developer kit.
When supporting VR we looked at how we could embrace the extra functionality – so things like displays that pop up when you look at them add to the richness of the experience.
You’re already reimagining a classic games franchise, but what challenges does reimagining it for VR add?
In my mind at least, I was already sitting in a cockpit and flying a spaceship with both the original Elite and with Frontier. VR brings the reality of it one step closer, so it was not really a challenge; very little ‘reimagining’ was needed.

This was the sort of talk that got people like me excited about Elite (in VR), and shelling out during the Beta Test phase pre release.
There were no promises, but I think it aptly spells out where certain expectations came from, and why there are those among us like myself that are so disappointed.

No, it isn't being removed from the base game or Horizons.
I wonder how they will manage physics when disembarking, on foot, on a 9G planet.
Temperature should be a problem, too.
I would like to see extra vehicule activity in deep space, to salvage wrecks or make repairs or just the fun of it.
And we need those magnetic boots sounds as well when walking in ships, outposts, because of zero G. I don't want to see us walking like if there was gravity. It is not immersive at all.
It's going to be hard work. It's going to take time. It may fail...

Really good space suits
Probably something like the Goliath power armor from the expanse
Goliath powered armor
Goliath powered armor is the main powered armor worn by the Martian Marine Corps Force Recon Marines (Special Forces) for combat scenarios. These suits are resistant to most small arms. The early variants of vacuum-rated Goliath armor. This armor had a solid metal chest piece unlike later...

Agreed with all but the highlighted: I don't get what you mean. Basically it's what an FPS is: a cam with a hud and a weapon in the field of view and a locomotion speed and limitations based upon human body's own limitations + any addition required by the gamedesign chosen (fast or realistic, crawling/climbing, jetpack...)
I can't wait to shoot a kinetic gun on a 9g planet and see how far the projectile goes… or how deep.
If only you can raise your arm ^^
So ... no VR then...
Im glad I’m not the only one who thinks this sucks

Begs the question of why you would fight over a 9g world?
How edgy.
High G worlds are excellent for making pancakes. And crepes. But not the US kind - they're too fluffy.
Makes sense, if you don´t know FDevs history on "VR not being available 'at launch'."
Remember 2014? Back then, FDev said this about Playstation VR:
It´s been well over 5 years since, and it´s never been implemented or mentioned again. Since it´s pretty much the same wording as in the current annoucement, I´m rather sure this is how FDev´s marketing department says "Nah, can´t be bothered to do that but let´s make it sound as if we were on it so our fanboys will defend us. Just like always."
Not being available 'at launch' is most likely the same as 'never being implemented'. This is why I´m as disappointed as I am. This is why people are upset.
In sci-fi, including Elite novels, you often have high-G mining planets where the destitute or enslaved work. For a particularly odd take on it read Stephen Baxter's Raft.
