Horizons Elite Dangerous Horizons. What are the changes to non planetary game?

We all know that Elite Dangerous Horizons is really all about planetary landing but what other changes are there? There's loads of information out there about all the new planetary features but I can't find much at all about the rest of the game?

Are there any changes to the gameplay in space? Any changes to the ships specs that don't relate to planetary landings, etc. And are there any visual changes that don't relate to planets?
 
Nothing yet. Horizons first release was just planetary landings. Next is looting and crafting, I believe, but that is coming to everyone. I would guess the character creator or fighter bays would be next after that. But at this stage, everything that affects the ships in space shouldn't be Horizons exclusive. Actually, I guess synthesis "potions". You need to go to planets to get the materials, but they do provide temporary buffs to your ship, and while it sounds like they will have minimal impact on pvp besides making low ammo count weapons slightly more viable, the jump range increase for a single jump sounds quite useful for exploration.
 
It seems to have completely destroyed one of my trade routes, halving mean profits from some commodities and completely removed demand for others from stations that before wanted them.
 
They put a lot more asteroids out (at least at my favorite hunting grounds) and I get chop when there are more ships around where I didn't before! Guess I'll have to break down my graphics till I'm flying in the cartoon sky's. Oh how I yearn for yesterday (weep). But I jumped out of my captains chair when I saw a 6A Power Plant for sale. All because of the upgrade !! JFJ !! My computer problems that didn't matter before the upgrade have surfaced but I just have to get Norton Antivirus to reverse everything they did and my Windows 7 Ultimate will once again recognize my 64 gig of ram on the mobo. Long story ....wasn't there to supervise etc etc. But aside from the Power Plant and new ships. I wish there was a way to return to the old awesome (if u know how to play it) bad ass game. So Elite and it's upgrade is forcing me to get my blank together . I guess they don't call it Elite for nothin .
