This also means that whatever you do, you are pretty much forced to have each type of damage in each weapon slot. As such, it is important to use laser weapons on a shielded foe before switching to ballistic damage to finish the job.
Suits have shields that can be toggled on, and shooting ballistic weapons at a shielded target does laughably little damage. This is important because the on-foot gameplay preserves the laser/ballistic dynamic from ship combat.
Upgraded suits get you tools such as the Cutter to break into panels or secured storage, while also granting the ability to equip a primary weapon to a secondary slot. The flight suit comes with a couple of tools, such as the Energy Link that lets you charge your suit in one mode or discharge energy in its other mode to overload security panels (or people). You start off with a lowly flight suit and a ballistic handgun, so to participate in any on-foot missions, you'll want to upgrade your gear. The interior areas are also the only spots where you can get on-foot quests and items none of them are accessible from the cockpit of your ship, and I suspect that might be the game's way of gating that content for those with the expansion.
The station interior is peppered with quest-givers, stores, and terminals that players can interact with. It is a treat to finally walk inside a Coriolis station and look out the bay windows to see the space traffic and watch various crafts land. Once your new character is created, you start off with a Sidewinder starter craft and are on foot in one of the many stations. Despite the focus of on-foot gameplay, the only body options are limited to a gender selection and your preference for the times you want to show your helmet. The current options are relatively flexible and let you change a lot of subtle details in the face and head, which is not much different than in the current, full version of the game. Right off the bat in the alpha, you are tasked with creating your character's look, with a slightly updated "Holo Me" character creator. We spent some time with the expansion's alpha build, getting our boots dirty with regolith and trading gunfire with laser rifles to see how things are shaping up. When the Odyssey expansion for Elite Dangerous was announced in June of 2020, it likely received with more than a few audible cheers of, "Finally!" On-foot gameplay remains something of a rarity in the genre, but it's something that Elite Dangerous fans have been asking about practically since the game was released. At long last, it is time to disembark, Commander.
