Thanks for the update.
So in theory I could team with a friend, have them fly me to Colonia, Do on foot only stuff and either use Apex or a Team to move around, then login to Horizons and be teleported back to the bubble where my last used ship was?

Does that mean I need to redo my Holo-me every time I switch over to Horizons?
Yeah i did check steam. I guess it makes sense given they expect it to run with the same spec as stated previously.
I suggest you take some screenshots of your HoloMe sliders. Just in case.
IMO no system requirements is a red flag.
Bruce, thanks for all new info.
I have some questions.
1. I quote "Crimes on players’ ships will be transferred to their commander".
Does it mean that crimes like bounties on ships, will change to bounties on commanders in Odyssey?
2. About "First footfall" in Odyssey.
I believe they will only be available for planets without human presence, for ex without settlements.
Will planets in the Bubble allow first footfall? Will it work in planets with guardian or thargoid sites?
Thanks, o7 cmdrs

They are probably still trying to figure out how the release build performs... expect something between the alpha specs and the horizons specs, more toward the alpha specs.
They want to meet horizons specs in the future (for console launch), but they obviously didn't yet, hence the clients hard splitting.
Anybody wanting to enjoy the space multiplayer part of the game is shown the door. Instancing is hard enough now and with Odyssey it splits the community even more.
No, only the community splits itself - Odyssey is a purchaseable DLC to anyone owning a PC, currently.
That's what a DLC does.
More money for Frontier
More things to do for the Commander
whilst 100% of people are not on the new content, the userbase will be split between the two (...and Open, PG, Solo)
If you want to play with your friends you need to all load the same game client - at least for the next X months until console. No biggie really. If your friends don't have Odyssey then it's not like you'd have the option of doing the new ground onfoot stuff together anyway.

Sorted for an updated Chip
Currently Horizons and the base game use the same client. After the console launch, Odyssey, Horizons, and the base game will use the same client again.
Between tomorrow and the console launch, two clients will be installed side by side: the existing one for Horizons and the base game, and one for Odyssey.
Holo-me in Horizon was always pointless and this announcement changes nothing for Horizons.
The Crime management was, is and always will be a mess - so no real change there either.
The net effect of this change on me playing Elite is going to be zero I believe. All the new interesting things will be in Odyssey so if a friend doesn't have Odyssey they can't see them and share them with me anyway - so no lose that we can't instance together - if we want to do some non Odyssey stuff together then I just fire up the Horizons client.
Only mystery to me is why FDev left this announcement so late.
Just to repeat what so many others have said - The Odyssey PC Launch is a beta in all but name - if FDev hit serious issues they will just tell us to switch back to the Horizons client until they can fix the new Odyssey client - and only the Odyssey players will be affected - everyone else should be fine - just like a 'normal' beta release.

Calm down.
Did you missed that when switching from Odyssey to Horizons Holo-Me will be reset do default one? Not just Odyssey stuff removed but reset to default.
