I live in the southern hemisphere. Can somebody please translate this into named months. Because my next spring is a long time away.

Have to admit, I am pretty disappointed in this. Firstly no next generation console updates and now this.
Can of course appreciate the pandemic situation here in the UK which is pretty terrible.
It would be nice to get a little bit more detail on what 'After continued feedback, iterations and balancing' means in the context of Odyssey. Considering it looks much closer to release on PC.

Except Australia and several other sensible governments.
It was always going to be that though?
FDev aren't known for protracted testing periods. Besides original beta and delayed carriers launch, test periods have never been more than a month or two.
Open Beta will likely be midway between the start of alpha and launch. Should go without saying really.

Just finished a 12 hour night shift and got home to read this news and got really peed off as I'm a console player. Bit over the top, I do apologise.
I'm a PC player and don't really like console gaming, but considering the shared galaxy in ED, I think it's too unfair to give us (PC players) a half-year advantage in marking planets with "first step".
So my suggestion is:
1. Delay PC release to make it the same day with consoles
2 PC team can spend the time to add ships interiors to PC only (console players should suffer, after all)
3. ...
4. Profit!
Pretty much sums up my thoughts.
Disappointing but not surprising. Given the state the world is in I accept this delay, even though it's a disadvantage for console players. I don't expect the update this year at all, as I do think it will be delayed further. The only thing I hope for is that you don't cancel console development for Elite altogether.
That would certainly be a great source of salt - given that the alpha isn't going to be available for consoles...How about an offering of a Cobra Mk IV for those who have pre-ordered Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Deluxe Alpha? Those who pre-ordered Horizons got one.
I want to use it for Thargoid combat
Thank you for the information and responsible approach! The main thing - the result! Good luck!
@Factabulous I believe this is your department.How about an offering of a Cobra Mk IV for those who have pre-ordered Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Deluxe Alpha? Those who pre-ordered Horizons got one.

(I see your CM4 alert system is still working, you already got it, good work sir)

Thanks for communicating that so openly @Arthur Tolmie
Of course a lot of people will be disappointed. But my opinion is: Take your time. Better a DLC that gets out to the world a few month delayed than an incomplete mess with a lot of Bugs.
We all are in Homeoffice or Lockdown so we can feel with you.
Stay safe.

Thanks for the news. No problem for the delay.
But please give us some real news on the developments, more often. Your AMA is just fullof "good idea", "we have to ask dev teams", ....
Take care.
