Grecale80Lame idea release this update just on pc. Actually pc users can fulfill bgs operation in bases that are not reachable by xbox or ps4 users.
In these conditions BGS is pretty faked...almost a clownery from a circus.
Im really disappointed
Releasing on consoles is a different process than releasing on PC, there's an entire array of reasons why FDev wouldn't want to do that simultaneously. It sucks from a balancing perspective, but is a sensible business decision.

But they can still do all the other things same as before, affecting BgS. Or is there any special advantage in regard of BgS that is Odyssey-only?

In one of our system today we have brand new 60 settlments\planetary port that are unreachable by our commanders. U can easily understand that a pc squadron based can easily influence our bgs. And by other side any commander ps4\5 based or xbox based can't have the same tactical advantage if want make some undermining against PC Based squadron.
I can understand any technical problems, but this decision can screw the credibility of the whole bgs

I still do not understand (I do not know the BgS too much into the detail) - why is a number of stations available making a difference? What exact difference is when there is a single station or 100 stations in the star system (aside of the "capturing" them during the conflicts)?

Dirnivirwhat is bgs
BackGround Simulation - faction influences constantly changing, market prices fluctuating, etc, all forming the Elite universe. The term BGS often also relates to player actions that influence individual factions or the simulation overall.
For a more detailed explanation, Remlok Industries have a good website on it ( http://remlok-industries.fr/the-complete-background-simulation-guide/?lang=en ).

More missions avaible in many different stations that we can't effectively control/reach. Plus: we still don't know which kind of missions can spawn in these new bases and how much can impact over a system influence.
A lot of doubts and question marks. Actually any squadron based on consol can be undermined easier. To me this seems pretty unfair.

Ah, so the missions availability, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Another Example: untill yesterday i controlled a system without any black market. After Odissey update are spawned different settlments with black market. Now: How do you suppose i can control this damn brand new black market if i can't fisically reach/control the base?

Kenji_088RickchapFarming Meta Alloys and just getting raw mats instead... hmmm is this right?
it depends on the site you visit.
Some site are 'dead' and dont have meta alloy in them anymore.
Just visit different sites, untill you find some.
Could be on the same planet even.
thanks Kenji and you are right. I did not give up and finally found a few - they were more difficult to farm then I had thought. It was unexpected to get raw materials (minerals) from a biological source.
