MeowersYeah, you're much right. That 'Braben Magic' flight model (because they don't want to call it 'artificial gravity' or 'anti-gravitational devices' or smth) which allows you to maintain altitude when you're horizontal (Magic is applying the force, equal to the gravity pull, but to the opposite direction, be it 45.3G or 0.00453G, whatever) and speed limitations at a 'free fall', because 45.3G will cause you to accelerate to 500m/s in a bit more than a second... So there's no 'free fall' here too.

Someone tested ship recall with a Beluga with a 5D shield generator. As expected, in Odyssey the landing overwhelmed the shield and inflicted 25% damage on the hull.



In Horizons the landing was soft.



Another interesting thing about this comparison is how much more spectacular the take-off and landing looks in Horizons. Dust clouds, contrails, lens flares, glowing lights on the SRV, everything is dialed up to eleven. It looks like a movie. Odyssey looks bland.

Still don't look like 45G... At 45G object will fall down almost in an instant. However, yeah, Odyssey mechanics and visuals are epic sucks.

This is because you compare a well polished product that was developed for years with half baked proof of concept that was rushed because of a marketing stunt.

Usually in HAB data ports - best in anarchy touristic settlements.

Btw, I have 4 that I do not need. Let me know if you want to meet and relief me from them.

I got all mine in the small touristic settlements in Fullerene C60 (the one that are not SPA or Resort). The layout is PWR on the left of a L pad and 6 quarters and a bar on the right side of the pad.

This was pre-requirement drop to 20 but I have checked it in patch 6, so they drop again.

That 45G planet was a bit disappointing, but at least Universal Cartographics paid well for the trip: almost 17M Cr just for honking.
