Potential for Multiple DLCs? Cough
Thanks. That's... disappointing.
this video is "in Engine" like shown at the beginning, the one you posted was CGI, it makes a lot of a difference.
probably only on barren worlds. I think they will take more complex world for another expansion.
Well, no VR support is disappointing.
Next question that should be asked is if the engine is a rebuild and will the folk who don't buy Odyssey still be able to play in VR after it launches?

Thanks for being open and finally answering that question. That's about all I can say right now.
O7,
No VR, that's disappointing to say the least. Definitely feel like my LEP was a waste of £120 now.
While I know people are focusing on the new shiny legs, can you say what existing features will see updates with Odyssey too?
Can finally look forward to cashing in that Steam gift card I've been hanging onto!
Well, that saves me and my husband from buying two copies then. Will Horizons still support VR?
Guess it would be delightful to flatten pedestrians from a ship equipped with dumbfires
Damnnit.. No base building. There goes my plan for a planet side space bordello/Bar. Oh well...
Thats no VR at launch
Thanks for the update:
Not going to lie, I am a little disappointed at the lack of base building - not so much that it isn't in the next release, but that it isn't on the roadmap at all. It needn't bee anything spectacular or overly complex - but a few prefabricated designs that I can plop down on a planet somewhere would have been cool.
Still very excited about the rest of the announcement though!
Question: With Odyssey are we going to be able to land on a greater variety of planets - and if so, will these planets have atmospheric hazards (heat / strong winds/ volcanic eruptions, etc) ?

One can certainly interpret it that way, but nothing I would consider as unambiguous. The wording still leaves room to interpret it as the first chapter of New Era. Or even a glimpse of Next Era:
Otherwise it doesn't make much sense to me to call the whole DLC now "Next Era - Elite Dangerous: Odyssey". Looks unnecessarily clumpy to me and also isn't in line with the style of other update titles from the past. At least not for main DLCs that the New Era is certainly meant to be. I'd really like to hear some clarification about it from the devs...
@Tim Smith
OK, OK, Tim, can you please tell us, what should we do, to play Odyssey today (tomorrow at the latest)?
Thank you!

Hey, y'all, please note that the OP says that VR will not be a part of Odyssey at launch. That's a pretty telling qualifier. Given the overhauls the engine is getting, postponing VR inclusion may be unavoidable in order to meet their launch schedule, but I doubt it will be excluded forever.
