I legitimatly cannot wait for this to be released and maybe this is just the ULTRA elite dangerous fan in me but if they manage to pull this off i fear it will be the last nail in the star citizen coffin.

Ehh... what exactly is Odyssey?

Odyssey will be the second big expansion to the base game of elite dangerous. the first being Horizons that allowed players to land on planets and introduced plansetside missions. Odyssey will be now allowing the player to walk around on planets (inside ships not confirmed) and also introduces atmospheric planets.

This is Huge for elite because until now we have all been surgically attatched to the pilots seat and and only opportunity of gameplay outside of our ships was to drive a rover on planetary surfaces. my hope is that it will not be 100% combat oriented and it will allow us to walk around stations and our ships but we dont know much yet about it.

i will add some info above directly from the website about it.
