It seems people who are hesitant on purchasing the season pass are unaware that Horizons isn't just "landing on planets." They think "Oh, all I do is land on planets and shoot some rocks, eh, anything else?"
You get Planetary Landings (which is much more than just shooting rocks) Engineers, (and the future updates included in the pass:) Multi Crew, Deployable Fighters, and mystery fifth update/character creator.
It's definitley worth it. No fault on you, or other players. Really wish they advertised this info a bit better. I guess they do this near the end of the description in the Xbox Store, but it's quite vague saying "Elite Dangerous will continue to add new features and gameplay as the season continues."
Maybe if they listed the stuff on this page: https://www.elitedangerous.com/en/seasons/
$80 on Amazon. Just get this:
Thrustmaster VG Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS One - Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07643TW2V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UfOuBbSTVPHEZ
Don't get the pedals until they actually have use, or get them if you're gonna get Ace Combat 7 or another game for this.
Not sure if it's 1.6 or the area, but this ring near the bounty hunting CG is doing some weird things.
edit: The CG is at Vernadsky Port in NGOLIBARDU. It only popped in for a few seconds. here's the little bit I caught in a recording
Audible may be worth it. https://www.audible.com/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Hitchhikers-Guide-to-the-Galaxy-Audiobook/B002VA9SWS
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is a great tie in. Game wise, mix it up with other stuff since time constraints do not appear to be a thing.
Audible also has Elite Dangerous titles. Drew wagar, Reclamation. Kate Russell, Almost Harmless is quite good.
The 2.2 update is part of the Horizons season. So if you have Horizons you'll get that too. Some of the 2.2 update is also for the base game (season 1). See here.
So the same. Had it in my amazon cart for a few months. Havent pulled the trigger yet. LoL

Here my landing... https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=F9B82DD5AC197724!435&authkey=!AIKyzPsxexva8jg&ithint=video%2cmp4
I noticed the countdown stopped at 35 seconds once I entered the station and then received an extra 7 minutes of Oxygen in which to repair.
Yup, I've got this set as my background...unfortunately it looks darker and a lot less vibrant in the video, but I seriously sat and stared at this view of Neptune for like 15 minutes.
I'm currently 598ly away from civilization. It is definitely creepy to think about and I have also been strangely freaked out by the vastness of space. I think it speaks to the immersion the game offers. Btw... this moment really freaked me out. I could see the system I was headed to out my window but I suffocated instead in space. You can see me panicking and looking around trying to figure out the game. I didn't realize you use fuel for everything!
If you want to land on planets and get all the updates for Horizons (season 2) then you need to buy that as well. Here's information about all the updates.
I guess the deal is dead. Amazon has it for $59 though: https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-VG-T-Flight-HOTAS-One-Xbox/dp/B07643TW2V
It's called a USB breakaway cable. Fosmon Replacement Dongle Compatible with Microsoft Xbox 360 Wired Controllers (Adapter Controller USB Breakaway Cable) - Grey (1 Pack) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B009I0VK2U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ge0VDbS4TYAFH
Get a inexpensive USB keyboard and just plug it into your XB1. That's what I do. For this application, even a dirt cheap $8 one will work fine. i f you take this or /u/Syronimus 's similar advice, keep in mind the XB1 recognizes common windows keyboard shortcuts like "Ctrl+C" and "Ctrl+V" for copying and pasting text, respectively. That helps when you keep having to type things like "Col 285 Sector".
I just got a new chair a few weeks ago, and luckily the armrests go up and down quite a bit, so I should be able to lower them to accommodate a table. It's the rest of my room that is small!
I have a cockatiel cage in the room, along with an air filter/purifier to keep the dust down he produces so that takes up a bit of space. I am thinking something like this:
Should do the trick well enough.
This one looks very good..I now you mentioned no surround sound, but but looking at the questions on Amazon.. Looks like it will plug into the optical port on the xbox one. I might have to put up with all the electrical waves going to my head for this one.. :)

Question: Does surround sound work on ps4 & xbox one?
Answer: Short answer: yes
Long answer: The headphones come with a USB receiver and an optical cable that plug into the console. The Xbox one and original PS4 have optical slots but the PS4 slim does NOT have one. The headphones come with a small and easy to follow instruction booklet to help with the set up.
By Trevor on January 7, 2017 I only have an x-box one but it does work there.
By M Cashman on January 10, 2017 If you have a PS4 slim, get a longer optical cable and hook it to your TV. Your PS4 Slim will send audio to TV via HDMI, then the TV will send it to the receiver by optical instead. By Amazon Customer on January 18, 2017
100%
I bought mine solely for ED as the sound design is so good. Makes it much more emmersive and actually very useful for exploring as you can identify planet types on the system map by the way they "sing" - I've got a pair of these as they sound great and don't look utterly retarded like most. Thoroughly recommend them. Although listening to yourself running out of air is unnerving as hell

I'll just leave this here, along with the mic I use.

Get one of those baby corral things that are 6 or so pieces on hinges, and then put that in front of your TV. I put a couple of eye screws into the halfwall on the right to anchor that side, and what's not shown in the picture on the left is a coffee/side table thing where I anchored the other side. Older/taller kids like my three year old can reach over the gate and touch the TV, but they can't get into the components underneath while the holes in the gate allow IR in and heat out.
If you REALLY want to, and are willing to drop 70 bucks on it look into this:http://www.amazon.com/CronusMax-Bluetooth-Dongle-Included-Xbox-360/dp/B00PR1OQ3E. it works as I have one, you should look up if your flight stick will work, as some are not supported.
thankyou thankyou thankyou! after taking your advice i downloaded an app to my phone called ED miner ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bioqapps.edminer) and found my closest pristine metallic ring (tofana). I've just got my first ever painite and palladium :) bring on the BIG MONEY!! and bring on the type 7 in a week or two :) also i highly recommend this subreddit if you havent been there https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteMiners/
