I recently bought the game on sale (no DLCs yet) and decided to play open world to level talents and recipes, based on some previous YouTube content I watched.
I want to start doing missions now to get that sweet sweet exotic loot (I’m just about lv20). My question: If, on the character screen, I choose to start a new mission instead of loading into my open world, will I lose the open world stuff?

Open world is separate. Anything you make or build on open world does not go with you on missions. Only thing you CAN land with is workshop items. Workshop items are the only items you can bring back from a mission.
Every mission is brand new. So if you have no workshop items, which you probably don’t since you’ve been planning open world, you’ll launch into a mission and have nothing. You’ll need to build a base an advance based on mission requirements. When you leave that mission no matter what you built or have on you disappears. You lose it. If you start a new mission you launch in with nothing, again. Unless you unlocked and purchased workshop items.
Your character can be deployed on any number of missions simultaneously, but your exotic gear cannot be, however you can send the gear back to station with orbital drops
Many thanks
I was wondering about this last night. How do you send items back? Was worried about losing items I put in a delivery pod and for sure the exocits drop pod.

Just build that, you can request exotics from your inventory or send used ones (and ores) back to space
