Elite: Dangerous Dev Tracker

o7 everyone,

It's time for this week's Discovery Scanner post! Let's talk Elite Dangerous.

Heatsink Module Update
In a GalNet article on the 13th, we mentioned that the megaships in the Coalsack Sector Vu-O B6-6 and Onoros systems will provide pre-engineered heatsinks. However, these were recently offered as a CG reward and we want to extend their exclusivity for a while longer to uphold the importance of CG rewards. Therefore, these megaships will stock the heatsinks, but at a later date.

Non-Damaged Starports
The team have noted that a few starports that you may have expected to be damaged last week were miraculously unharmed. Look out for this to be rectified this week, most likely Thursday. The Thargoids won't give up that easily. Maniacal laughter ensues

Greetings Commanders,

We’d like to thank you all for your patience whilst we’ve been working on our communications and development plans for the remainder of the year.

Following the launch of Odyssey, our primary focus has been on performance, optimisation and bug fixing, along with adding more features. This focus has had a knock-on effect with regards to our plans for this year and beyond and delayed our communications.

We understand the concern and frustration this has caused and hope this post goes some way to alleviate those feelings. Below we discuss profile transfers for console players and give an overview of the updates coming before the end of 2022.

Console Profile Transfers

We can now confirm that players will be able to copy their profiles from console to PC in light of Odyssey’s cancellation on Xbox and PlayStation. This process will be time limited and optional. We will provide a date for this process once it i... Read more

Greetings Commanders!

Another new week and another new month begins in the Galaxy!
This month is shaping up to be one of those months on the excitement and anticipation scale - it's sitting pretty high on it, we can say that much because Update 13 is coming next week!

Actually, allow a little more to be said as I deliver to you today the latest instalment of our Discovery Scanner: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-01082022

Have a wonderful week ahead in the Galaxy, Commanders.

Hi Commanders!
Just a note to say this was passed along to the team and we've had word that a relog, as of now, should resolve this for you (a little 'magic wanding' from server side).

Greetings Commanders, apologies for the late, locked info thread.

Just another courtesy message for today to inform that we have moved the increase promised to Exobiology payouts, to coincide with the release of Update 14, on November 29.

So sorry for any disappointment this may cause.

We’re only a weekend and a day away now, so hopefully you’re looking forward to our next communication on Monday, where release plans and preparations will be shared o7

Have a wonderful weekend again, Commanders!

Greetings Commanders!

Bringing you a Tuesday edition of Discovery Scanner this week due to yesterday being a Bank Holiday on our side of the stars.
If you too enjoyed a "casual Monday", I hope it was a good one for you.

It's wonderfully back to normal proceedings now with this week's Discovery Scanner, coming to you live from it's unusual place of a Tuesday.
It's a short but sweet one with a little update on just why September is going to be a little on the busy side.

Greetings Commanders!

We're coming up to the finale stretch of days toward the end of our Halloween Holiday fun (booo), so thought we could have another round of topical silliness, as a Forum Exclusive this time, offering up another chance to win the 'Noctule Hex' paintjob bundle!

No lie, it's Elite Dangerous 'Blankety Blank', for those of you who enjoyed this gameshow, here in the UK...(I say "enjoyed" as loosely as you want to take it, really).

For those of you unfamiliar with the show, basically "fill in the blanks" to the statement above, in theme with an experience in Elite Dangerous (can be factual, can be made up!).

Greetings Commanders.

A very happy Friday to you all - here's hoping it's been a good week wherever you've been in The Galaxy.

Here today to give you a heads up on the release of a new gear set for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Commanders. It's been a little while since the tailoring department has released a new line, so thought this worthy of a share.

Introducing: Metro Badlands

[ATTACH type="full" width="645px" height="368px"]314364[/ATTACH]

Sporting a mildly modern take on classic camo (I'd say, anyway. That's my view for fun, by the way, as I yarn through this post and not the official view of Frontier Store...), the 'Metro Badlands' pack hosts this new design in 3 colour-ways, sold together for 16520 ARX total.

Which is your favourite piece (only if you have one. Don't feel forced with fashion)?
For me, I like the 'Airtex' feel to the fabric... Read more

Greetings Commanders!

Just a heads up regarding Community activity this weekend.
As you know, Lavecon is back (thank goodness!) and we're going to be hosting a fun instalment of our own as part of the event's general scheduled, streamed activities.

We'll be hosting Frameshift Live #12 at around 14:30 BST on Saturday the 16th of July, over on the official Elite Dangerous Twitch Channel.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of having a more limited set up in terms of tech from our side, with travelling as part of the trip, the show will not be streamed live to our YouTube Channel.
We can however look to upload the VO... Read more
