Are you taking "Legacy" version off of sale from consoles then? New players won't know that it's in maintenance mode and it's pretty unethical to sell a game that's a step away from shutdown, at least without informing new players of that.
Regarding this, I would be interested to know if new players that jump into the game for the first time will be prompted to play into either Legacy or Live. Knowing this beforehand could benefit player organizations such as the Fuel Rats and the Hull Seals, not to mention the fact that a new player might not be aware of the existence of these two versions completely separate from one another, which could mean that they would make progress on a version that might not be the best suited for them (mainly considering if they start out in Legacy then find out that Live is the only version that gets content updates and they would have to start all over again)
Wasn't suggesting they should, but wondering what's stopping them being integrated in space, where there is no odyssey specific content.
Although, with the mini-launcher or command line edit, Odyssey players have already had the option to launch into 4.0, as mentioned in various threads on these forums and reddit...
Given that legacy mode will no longer be updated will areas of the galaxy that are currently permit locked to allow for future developments be unlocked (or CMDRs be given the permit) in legacy mode?
Lads, people need to read through Bruce's answers before asking him to clarify stuff, he's answering the same questions over and over again.
If you have Odyssey you have access to all of it. Odyssey and Horizons 4.0 (which are part of "live") and Horizons (3.8 Legacy).
If you do NOT have Odyssey, you have access to both versions of Horizons, 4.0 (live) and 3.8 (legacy) regardless if you currently own it, or buy it in the future.
Legacy and Live will be separate from each other as of U14. Legacy will no longer effect the "live" BGS nor will it receive narrative content. Nor will anyone have access to the servers for mods and messing. (At least not now)
Basically, there's no longer a reason to use legacy unless you want to be a holdout for whatever reason. (I'd have just binned it, myself)

Oooohhh, I like this idea!
Got it... wouln't be sufficient to disable the "disembark" button for EDH-only versions? So we'll share the space instancing at least...
Bruce needs to put the phrase "Yes, everything is separate" on his clipboard and then most posts could then be answered with a Ctrl-V...
What about planets where a Horizons player could land, look our their windscreen, and see Odyssey players on-foot doing unsavoury things?
I'm just curious why this wasn't announced much earlier to allow players enough time to try to prepare, if they had the financial option. Example, console players could have time to try to get a PC, or PC owners could try to up save money to upgrade or buy a better PC so they are not screwed if they want to switch to 4.0.
Also, to try to fix the issue with getting stuck, since logging into another version is no longer an option, can you please ask them to give us the option to have the game put us in our ship after going back to the main menu?
It can be an option from the main menu where we can select to have it put us back in the ship. But with it turned off, you will load up like normally.
Razar.

As legacy Mode will be set in a different galaxy that will not affect anything anymore, could you guys add some kind of "Creative Mode"? like allowing you to teleport to systems to revisit old discoverys like when you first found them as the issue might be that exploration will die out due to not having any effect on the "real game" anymore.
I look forward to the announcement of macOS legacy galaxy.
I think the PR department may have stepped in to stop the versions being Elite Dangerous Live and Elite Dangerous Dead. Other than being able to select Horizons 4.0 officially I can't really see what benefit this is to 'Live' players, whereas to H3.8 players it appears to be a downgrade, losing access to community goals. The console game is becoming ever more unanattractive, the excuse being it's better than being shut down.

Oh well, now i really hope the "major feature revamp" planned for the next year is to actually reintroduce planetary POIs for Bio/Geo features so we dont have to rely on Eyeballs Mk1 in 3309 like Magellan did in 1519 (or any type of exploration tech that doesnt rely on flying above the surface at low speed waiting for features to "pop" on our screens)
Speaking as a console player, your best bet is to try and get the console transfer completed as soon as possible. It should then be theoretically there waiting for you once you have a PC. I did the console copy, but don't have a PC so my carbon copy just sits there, I guess.
They already don't want anything to do with Legacy, pretty sure they aren't going to devote another second to making changes.
This forum needs a way to react to posts with a facepalm.
