=== Atmospheric landings and footfall ===

The landmark feature of ''Odyssey'' is the addition of the ability to [[Space Legs|explore planets on foot]]. This is permitted not only on all non-atmospheric landable planets, but ''Odyssey'' also [[Atmospheric Landings|opens planets with tenuous or thin atmospheres for landings]] for the first time, increasing the number of available landable bodies in the game by over 20%. Footfall activities require a [[Suits|suit]] to protect the player from the hostile environment, but some planets are so inhospitable that players cannot disembark from their ships even if their ships are able to land.<ref>[https://www.pcgamer.com/amp/frontier-talks-about-elites-new-on-foot-exploration-update-odyssey/ Frontier talks about Elite's new on-foot exploration update, Odyssey]
