I just want to point out that halo 5 sold almost 10 million copies without a PC Version. That's many times greater than the entire elite playerbase. FPS games are extremely popular with consoles and if it were done correctly fdev could potentially tap into that market and explode the number of players.
I do strongly believe that if they offered Odyssey as it's own standalone game with the option to buy the "base" elite game it would appeal to a lot more people. I personally know several people who have no interest at all in the space ship side of elite but have specifically said they would enjoy having me fly them around and provide air support.
