• Livery UI - The Packs category is now the only place we display packs as "packs" i.e. something you select to open up and browse inside.
  
• Livery UI - In the Packs category you can equip multiple owned items without having to select a specific slot (it finds the first compatible & available one).
  
• Livery UI - In the Packs category we have the concept of "sticky" previews allowing you to maintain a preview, even after moving focus and multiple of these can be set at once, if they affect different slots e.g. sticky previewing a full suit or ship kit set.
  
• Livery UI - Slots still exist for livery (apart from weapons) and this flow is largely the same except that items inside the slots are extracted out of their packs and displayed at the top level, avoiding the players having to get in or out of packs to see compatible items.

Greetings Commanders.

At approximately 16:00 UTC / 17:00 BST today we released 'Update 2.01' for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey with the following changes:

• An issue has been fixed whereby chest, upper arm and shoulder suit parts were not appearing for female avatars.
