常见问题
《危险精英：奥德赛》是否登录VR？
目前来看，《精英危险。奥德赛》在推出时将不兼容VR。我们是VR的忠实粉丝，我们对《精英危险》目前提供的惊人的VR体验感到非常自豪。然而，《精英危险。奥德赛》将引入的新玩法、新机制和新功能意味着我们必须重新审视是否能在不做出太多妥协的情况下提供同样的VR体验，因此在推出时，《奥德赛》无法兼容VR系统。[5]
在后续的电子邮件中，我们证实了在《奥德赛》发布之后的依然有可能追加VR支持。但根据该公司的说法，"（VR支持追加计划）没有确定的日期"。[6]
《危险精英：奥德赛》会包含基地建设内容吗？
基地建设目前并不在《精英危险》的路线图上，不过我们计划将加入许多其他新的特色内容，比如徒步探索、新的行星生成科技、社交中心、战斗以及更多有待与你们分享的新内容！ 我们将全力以赴投入《奥德赛》的开发，如果你想了解更多关于本作的概述，可以查看我们的网站或Steam页面。[5]
《危险精英：奥德赛》是否包含在我的终身扩展包（Lifetime Expansion Pass）里？
尽管《精英危险：奥德赛》是一个付费扩展，但我们可以很高兴地确认，是的，这个扩展绝对会免费包含在终身扩展包中。[5]

Development

On 15 November 2019 Frontier described the new era of Elite in a Trading Statement and Roadmap Update:
"The future for Elite Dangerous is also exciting. Frontier is developing a major new paid-for release for the iconic space simulation which will dramatically expand gameplay and mark the beginning of a new era for Elite Dangerous. This will be characterised by significant new features to appeal to existing commanders, whilst being specifically designed to be a compelling, attractive and welcoming entry point for new players. Targeted for launch at the end of 2020, this major new release on multiple platforms will fall into financial year 2021."[12]

Frontier said on 1 March 2019:"Back in August (2018), we mentioned that the team had begun work on the next major era of Elite. We believe this will be a defining moment in the history of the game and it will be our biggest update yet."[1]
"In that post, we explained that the content was still very early in development, so we won’t be ready to announce it for a while. To give this more context, in order to realise the ambition for this update, and the size and scope of the content we wish to bring to the Elite Dangerous galaxy, we estimate this major milestone will be ready by the latter half of 2020."[1]
"As development progresses, we will share more news and announcements on features, as well as timelines regarding this upcoming content for Elite. We can understand that having a long wait for news can be frustrating, but we truly believe that this will be the single most impactful update for our community. Having a development team dedicated to this milestone is our continued and unwavering commitment to making Elite Dangerous the most authentic, ambitious, and expansive evolving space game in the world."[1]
On October 22, 2019, Community Manager Will Flanagan said:"The team have been hard at work on the next major milestone, which you may remember we mentioned back in March as our next major paid addition to the game. They’re making fantastic progress and on schedule for release by the end of next year. We are very excited to show you what we’ve been working on. However, we can only announce the content when it’s at the right stage of development, we estimate this will be ready to talk about at some time in summer 2020, after the Fleet Carriers update. We appreciate there is a bit of a wait, but we want to make sure it is ready to be shown before making our full official announcement to the world."[13]
On June 3, 2020, less than a week before the release of the Fleet Carriers Update, a trailer for the expansion containing in-engine pre-alpha footage and revealing its name as Elite Dangerous: Odyssey was accidentally uploaded to the official Elite Dangerous YouTube channel. Although the trailer was swiftly removed, copies of it were captured and uploaded by fans, and Frontier Developments eventually decided to advance their announcement plans and reveal Odyssey the same day.[2]
