As the release of the massive Odyssey update for Elite: Dangerousapproaches, Frontier has released its second development diary, highlighting some interesting new features. Finally, for the first time, we are given the opportunity to take a look inside the space stations, which we have already widely learned about during these years of space exploration.

The main feature of Odyssey is the introduction of the walking phases, but while the possibility of exploring outposts and bases on the surface of the planets was confirmed, in this new video we can admire the interiors of space stations, rich in detail and life. You can see salons with immense stained glass windows that give on the cosmos, bars, clubs, shops and armories.

Exploring the stations, you can then accept contracts, talk to the various NPCs, acquire weapons and equipment, useful to face the many dangers of the cosmos. In addition, a new faction, the Apex Interstellar,will be added, with its contracts built specifically to take advantage of the many new mechanics introduced with Odyssey.

Before we leave the video, we'll let you know another interesting news for all Elite players: the Horizon expansion will become a free update to the base game from October 27th! For the uninitiated, Horizon is the expansion that allows crews trained by multiple players, as well as giving the opportunity to land on planets without atmosphere and explore them aboard a rover. Players who have previously purchased the expansion will be rewarded with several in-game bonuses. Waiting to get your hands on this interesting update, scheduled for the first months of 2021, we leave you to the video: good viewing!
