I'm courious as to just how much my thousand's and thosand's of hour's of playing in Horizon will or would be altered if I were to install Odyssey.
For instance: Do I maintain all my stuff, such as Bookmarks, ships, engineering...
Can I continue doing the mission's I prefer and have been doing such as hauling passenger, cargo, to various stations?
I've watched a number of video's and it seems to be WAY to much pew pew envolved outside of one ship while walking around.
And I really don't desire to get envolved with ground pew pew, when I've just recently started doing a bit of space pew pew.
All of your Horizons progress is available in Ody, ships, engineering, materials, bookmarks, friends, PGs, ranks, funds, carrier etc. I switch back and forth frequetnly.
You also choose which DLC level to play at for any particular session. If you log into Horizons after playing Odyssey, ody content (such as the extra ranks, the Scorpion SRV etc) will not be available whilst in Horizons. You can switch back and forth as you please, just by relogging via the launcher. I've not had any open missions when I've done such a re-log and would be wary of re-logging whilst missions are open.
As mentioned above, the new planetary tech changes how worlds are rendered, and their surface features. As a result well known landmarks may not be there and surface installations might have been relocated. There are also changes such as Biological sites in horizons not transferring in the same way to Ody - In Ody for exampe, the shard sites have the same materials available from plants sparsely covering large areas rather then the concentrated styes in Horizons.
It sounds as if my play preferences match yours to a degree. I have zero interest in on-foot combat. I will still log into Odyssey instead of Horizons for normal cargo mission (and the like) instead of logging into Horizons.
Crime and punishment vary as well - I'm not confident to sing out the changes as my commanders a good boys. They rarely fall foul of the law.
I switch platforms all of the time as my Terekhov and Mattlingly accounts are both fuel rats ,and rescue mainly on Horizons but do other gameplay on Ody.
Be aware that in Ody Galaxy map can lose or corrupt filter settings when you log out or nose around the settings, and Fastest route/Economical route is not properly initialised until you select it after login. So Set Fastest route each time you log ina d if scooping, ensue thet the star class filter is fully set up including the "Apply filter to route" setting. I performed a fuel rescue earlier today where I think the unfortunate commander did not re-check their star class filter and had a run of brown dwarfs.
