I shudder to think of the work that would be required to model the interior of every ship. Most Commanders would expect a certain level of quality and detail and that is reasonable but the time and expense would push the release back until...well, Star Citizen would probably be finished by then! Yes, that far in the future.
considering how they worked and how they work i hope for the best

It was said during the Kickstarter that this was already done for the release ships.

Remember, the cockpits are already modeled. But once you go through the door, the ship interior doesn't have to exactly match the available space. If your head would technically be sticking through the ship skin when you're standing in the meal prep area, or if there are a few more steps between the cockpit and the cargo hold, of if you just make believe the landing gear fold up into a tiny space that you can't see anyway, is anybody really going to complain? Well, of course some will, but I think most people will just enjoy walking through the ship. Even if ship damage exposes interiors, they can still fake it so that it looks good. But if they try to actually match interiors, taking into account all modules, engines, thrusters, landing gear, ship structures, and everything else, then yes, that will take exponentially longer.

I think You got carried away there, that bag of bugs and unstable servers that ONLY recently became somewhat persistent, with RSI more interested about selling new SKELETONS of the ships rather than fixing actual gameplay issues... and it's in develepment since 2012... 2 years ahead of ED? in what? making the players belive that some day in the galaxy far far away Star Citizen will become Playable game? haha

Edit:
https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Development_Plans , Fdevs took fare more reasonable approach than RSI, they build a solid foundation of the game back in 2014-15, and now they are expanding accordingly. No walking on ships, so what, read the link, it's on the roadmap. We should not mention SC here since it's just a expensive testing application, not a game.

Will there be an upgrade path for standalone installations, or do I have to use Steam/Derpic?

Looking at the game launcher, I see no option to upgrade in place, and there doesn't seem to be anything on the Frontier website.
 
Very bad no VR support.. no VR = no game for me. i will NEVER run Elite without VR.. will not even look at :(

and I will not play it if they make a "stepwise" method of movement as in many stupid VR shooters (these are not games at all, but a parody of shooters). Only full-fledged smooth movement on your feet with mouse-keyboard controls (dont like to use VR controllers in shooters) . sorry to say goodbye to such a promising game :(

I hope there will be a hack to force run Elite in VR (no matter what developers want). Because all i need is stereo-3d engine. and dont want "special" VR moving methods.(they suck anyway). i can easily use mouse+keyboard in VR. Its best for first person shooting.

Not much of a reader? Devs confirmed that vr will be supported in both ships and on foot... lol
 
It's been a while since Horizons....so this old memory has forgotten.

How do LEP players access Odyssey? Do we need to go to the Frontier store and download it or does it come as an update?
 
So the deluxe edition of odessy pre order says "Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Alpha."

Is that an alpha play of the game access or what?
Usually the Alpha game is separated from the main game for testing.

Of course the Deluxe version will include the Alpha version and the final version.

I'm intrigued by what you mean by 'Or What?' - what do you think Alpha means when related to a game?

The only two things I can think of are:

1) "Odyssey Alpha - We'll send an Alpha Silverback Gorilla to your house to wreck it"
2) "Odyssey Alpha - We'll send a source of Alpha Radiation to your house - irradiate your friends and family!"

Neither seems very likely - what were you thinking of? 🤔

Who knows, it could been an Alpha skin for your ships or something in-game, it usally says "Alpha access" when they mean that in descriptions, but here its not that clear so, better to ask, so know what you get.
