So we're able to do business activities in invite only now...

...but to use the Terrorbyte you still have to be in a public lobby... Is this intentional or are they planning to allow the Terrorbyte in invite only sessions later on?

I'd guess they might correct that in the December DLC, but again that's just a guess.

Considering that Invite Only was invented so that people would not have to rely on glitches/tricks to have private sessions without hackers and randos, there are several things that still need to be added to Invite Only:

- Terrorbyte as you indicate might be one.
- Allowing heist setups and finale to run without a specified number of players. All heists should be runnable with 1, 2, 3 or 4 players. Sure, they might be harder with fewer players but runnable.
- Closing the hook that allows non-invited players/hackers to join into Invite Only sessions. This hook might have existed to allow R* admins to monitor play but it ruined the main purpose of Invite Only (to escape hackers). It has to go or be modified with strong encryption and authentication so that it can no longer be exploited by mod tools.

Similarly, everything that can be done in Invite Only should be doable in Solo, optimized for things that do not require other players and use the internet only to store progress. In other words never have more than the local player in the session but be able to do everything. Some things that still need to be done are:
- Going CEO and MC President.
- Being able to do everything that Invite Only can do that only requires a single player. Yep, even heists.
- A simple settings switch to allow/disable all multiple player activities like races.
- Perhaps implement those multiple human activities with NPCs like is done in Story mode.

And very important, at Steam launch must have the ability to directly join a friend or go into a specific session type without having to go through Story or Public sessions first.

There is a bright side with terrorbyte working only in public. If you are sourcing cargo with it, you do not get Lupe missions, cause R* not only forgot to add TB to this invite only "whitelist", but also forgot to add triggers for those 2 missions.

I have switched from using the Terrorbyte to the master control terminal at my 8bit arcade
because there is a parachute jump right behind it and its also next to the Eclipse tower which makes job teleporting super easy.

I would rather see them fixing the turrets on that crappy slow bomber when doing the Air Defenses setup mission. They haven't been working in years now
