Nice!

Q: how dangerous will people be firing at ships (and ships at people?). Will there be hand held / man portable weapons that are specialist ship killers?

Q: will ships get a balance pass in Odyssey? Some ships like the Asp Scout require love.

Q: will engineering and modules get a balance pass, since some are weak / not as useful as others available?

Genuine question - have you tested this to make sure it'll work for console users this time? I still haven't received the drops from the last one, and attempting to link Twitch and Frontier accounts still results in an endless loop of going round and round in circles. Whatever the problem was last time, it looks like it's still there.

With many/most/all developers working from home at the moment was the combat footage in the Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Gameplay Reveal Trailer recorded from online sessions that took place over the internet, i.e. representative of an online experience we can expect and not just recorded over LAN in ideal conditions?

If I am flying a ship thats destroyed in one of these on foot / SRV / ship battles, where do I 'wake up'? Can I eject and continue on foot?

Are the new on foot missions developments of SRV missions (take out power grid, lower defence grid etc)? If so, what in your opinion sets them apart and justifies being on foot? What can I do on foot I can't do in an SRV?
