What is so difficult about listing Horizons services?

What is so difficult about having information in Horizons that actually refers to Horizons instead of incorporating this Oddity nonsense:

OK - at least we got the services listed again in the system map but jings it looks really stupid to list Oddity services when in Horizons. Is it really beyond the capability of people to code things in a more sensible manner?

Did you ask for the services to be correct, or just to be present?

It's like with genies that give you three wishes - you have to be very careful with your wishes :)

(Outposts also won't have Frontline, so I'm guessing that is wrong too, unless it changed recently)

Hate to tell you this, but the stations still have those services. You just can't access them because you've chosen to remain surgically grafted to your pilot's seat.

The worst thing is it's not even correct, outposts don't have vista genomics but are all listed as having them.

The likelihood is that it is technically correct, if not usefully so - which is meaningless at the moment because there's no way to access the service, but might be relevant in future if how Odyssey services are accessed changes.

Compare with the pre-Odyssey complaints about outposts "selling" (according to the journal) modules which wouldn't fit on any medium-pad ship ... which are now accessible with Odyssey's buy-to-storage option.

Unless they're planning to give us sewers etc to get to those extra services they shouldn't be listed though should they? In Odyssey it shows Frontline / Vista as Active, but they aren't accessible.

It would be like if Pioneer listed al G3 Equipment as available and then said 'eventually' when you tried to buy it. True but useless.

I agree that there's a bug, but the bug is probably "outposts have Frontline enabled" not "the map reports this".

Always going to be a few edge cases, of course - does Brazilian Dream have a bartender? If you look through the concourse window from the outside, obviously yes. But you can't get to them... (their Pioneer Supplies must have all sorts of gear by now)

Hate to tell you this but in your haste to be insulting you show your lack of observation. Hint - what services are NEVER available in outposts in Oddity? Shame the game is also so impaired:

So Zero points for Mark (nice to live up to your name I suppose). ;)
