Wasn't it schedule for tomorrow? [URL unfurl="true"]https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-ascendancy-release-date.628836/#post-10460395[/URL]

Indeed it was but we've made a slight change in order to persuade a couple of NPCs to really chill out a bit. Get them off the energy drinks for a day or two.

Greetings Commanders! In order to ensure the best possible experience we have made a small change to the release date of Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy, to adjust an issue with NPCs still being more aggressive than intended. Thursday 31 October sees the eagerly awaited release of Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy, featuring the new Mandalay exploration ship, Powerplay 2.0 and more! Here's when things kick off:

• 06:00 GMT - Maintenance begins and Elite Dangerous servers offline
• 15:00 GMT - Maintenance complete and Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy is available

Please note that these are approximate times and are subject to change. Full patch notes will be available alongside the release of Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy. Things to be aware of

• Powerplay ranks will be reset when Ascendancy is available. You will need to pledge to a Power if you wish to get involved with Powerplay on release.
• The Mandalay will be available as early access via Arx initially. It will be available for credits in the future.

Oh no, a delay to the Mandelay

Be honest. You've been looking for an excuse to say that for a while now haven't you?
