The great big Odyssey Screenshots thread

I agree. I cannot switch back to Horizons anymore. Looks dull.
A little from old stocks.
4000+ hours in this game, and I only just realised there are multiple mission board NPCs for each faction - with ranks and distinct portraits.
You're allied, you get the boss (Right hand image). Friendly, you get the second-in command (Left, same faction, same station). No idea who you get if you're hostile - Darth Vader probably.
The other day I watched a streamer navigating the mission board in my home system, and I couldn't figure out why the mission giver was different to the one I see. All makes sense now.
And hey, a screenshot to keep it relevant.

Yeah, no Fuchsing way I'm falling for that one either.
Will I get back home by update 11 - I doubt it.
This game now gives me a feel of really travelling.
Taking a break amid of FC traveling to Colonia
I would use a emote of swing a small flag next time after patch 8, like from a tourist group.
Welcome to APEX, your first step to nowhere.
No one in Inner Astra counter, as it's already outer astra here. Also there is fight somewhere but not here.
Found a G2 sniper in this remote local shop, bought as a souvenir.
A station with no mission.

For people who like 500K+ sulfur planets or are just into yellow.
I finally bothered to reinstall Horizons to do some experiments by taking the same screenshot in Odyssey and Horizons (as close as possible) and comparing the two directly. Obviously not gonna bother with stuff like planet surfaces since those vary wildly, but there's a lot of differences to be found in space as well.
First set of screenshots - take in the Wolf 1241 hazres:
Odyssey:
Horizons:
While I prefer the overall look of the warmer color scheme in the Horizons shot, The intense brightness found in the Odyssey screenshot is more realistic. This particular hazres is a mere 55ls from its parent star, so it should be as blinding as it is. The only downside is that the intense reflections on the asteroids really highlight the anti-aliasing issues found in Odyssey, but those should be rectified in an upcoming patch.
As I was writing this post, I decided I should head to another planet in the same system to see how the brightness scale changes with distance. This next set was taken from a planet a little more than 3kly from the star:
Odyssey:
Horizons:
I tried a couple different spots in the ring before choosing this one, and something I noticed is that the closer I got to the gas giant eclipsing the star, the more intense the brightness became, but I only noticed the effect in Odyssey. It's almost as if the gas giant was refracting the starlight differently. Sadly I didn't take any screenshots until I'd chosen this location, but I found it quite interesting. I may go back later and try to capture it.
Bonus Odyssey image - shot this half-eclipse in the same spot as the first comparison about an hour later. Really shows how much the lighting in this game can vary even in the same location:
