Imminent expansion from NLTT 2969 run-away train system.  Probably going to Hecate to be neighbors with BoTM) but several systems extremely close in influence.

Odyssey/Horizons Compatibility Update

Horizons will NOT get updated engine tech at launch, and will be an entirely separate game instance.

At console launch, horizons will then also get the updated lighting and planetary tech. 

Maybe still instancing separation by PEGI?
