Are you sure there will be an option to leave a ship on airless planets in Odyssey? Those suits look pretty thin. Also, I didn't see any proof that space legs will be avaible for Horizon's planets.

As far as I know you are actually in your SRV. Only the fighters and multi-crew uses hologram/tele-presence. And I assume when you "die" on foot it'll be similar to when you "die" in your SRV. You'll be brought back to your ship and revived/healed somehow. But i guess we'll have to wait and see.
Since they've said on multiple occasions that you'll have to keep an eye on your power and oxygen levels while on foot, I doubt you'll be a hologram walking around.
I believe so. And it seems that the new planet tech will drip down to horizons as well. And it seems that you can walk around on any planet that you can land on.
Well, that's the problem. As far as we know, "old" planets' look will improve but that doesn't mean you'll be able to walk on them. It's still an assumption.
Sorry, during the long period of FDev (you) dropping things that to some extend interested me about ED you lost most of my interest. And probably you know what industry says about the costs of keeping a customer compared to the costs of winning a customer, don't you?
As for me, I must say that you have to win me back.
This is a step! RoFDev

True, I assume we'll be able to walk on any landable planets. Bar a few very extreme ones (high G and/or high temperatures ones).
Great news on the narrative front!
However considering the thread title and the fact no one has asked about it, I am anxiously awaiting some more information on the second part of the dev diary. It was said on mondays stream that it had been filmed and was being edited and a possibility of a date announcement on Thursdays stream, yet we were met with the same information as Monday.
How far off from the next dev diary are we. Can we expect next week, in two weeks, next month?
Cheers.

they said this month. The previous one was 18th, so it's likely this week if we are lucky, that will be 4 weeks.
I mean, thatll be awesome, but if it was to be this week, wouldnt we know by now when it is exactly?
Arf was hoping to confirm the date on the thurs stream, if he had it would have been finished and would very likely have been out on Tues. So if it's not quite ready but still this month as he suggested, it will be the week after. No biggie.
I just had to say that I'm really happy that GalNet is back, and especially the audio version as well. I really missed it. Thank you for listening to your community.
I check for new updates every day. A teaser screenshot would be nice.
Arthur confirmed that all planets for every version of Elite will be upgraded with the Odyssey technology. (41:30 in if you need a bookmark).
When will you be releasing a patch to fix the Pulse Wave Scanner that was broken in the latest patch?
He didn't say "all versions" did he? although I guess it's probable.
I'm more concerned about whether they have taken to heart the voices, after the first instalment, who requested more in-depth actual dev-diary-y talk, and less of a brief marketing piece. :7
He said all planets in Elite: Dangerous. Not Elite Dangerous :- Odyssey. That says everyone gets the new planet tech. Makes sense, you don't want to have to deal with a separate code bases for the base game, for Horizons and for Odyssey.
