Differences between Horizons and Odyssey?

[wrmiller]

If I have zero interest in walking around and/or shooting at bipedal NPCs, is there any benefit for me to play Odyssey vs. Horizons? (honest question, not throwing lawn darts)

The main advantage would be that future developments will all be for Odyssey.

Basically, ED exists in two separate galaxies now; the Horizons one and the Odyssey one.
The Horizons version of the galaxy is "complete" now. What you have is all you're ever going to get.
The Odyssey version of the galaxy is where you're going to find any new stuff that FDev decides to develop for the game.

Like what? According to the description in the game, Horizons is the same as Odyssey except the legs stuff. Just got a PC, so when does the split happen?

IINM, Horizons don't come with the new ships. You can't even buy them with credits.

Horizons Legacy isn't being updated.
Horizons Live is Odyssey but without access to on foot activities including surface combat and exobiology. It also lacks access to atmospheric worlds and thus a large number of surface ports.

Thank you. At least someone here knows what the heck is going on.
