Apologies to those who are already clued up on this information, either from our social post deployment yesterday or your own self discovery but just to keep the ball rolling with awareness:

For pilots who wish to ready up and support in defence efforts over in system 22460, the Musashi megaship in the nearby Pleiades Sector CW-U b3-2 is stocked with AX weapons and modules.

Take care out there, Commanders!

Hello!
I've noticed a few Commanders expressing some lengthy times this morning with things. I'll continue to keep my eye on things with you all but just a note to say I've got this on the radar on our side o7

Greetings Commanders.

Just a really quick post to acknowledge reports of latency issues and matchmaking/Mauve Adder errors that have been experienced from some time yesterday, through this morning also.

The team are working on stabilizing the situation as I type, with hopefully some improvements already being seen now on live game.

I'll continue to keep an eye out through the course of the day.

Please do post in this thread if any of the following persists:
[LIST]
[*]Longer than usual system jump times.
[*]Mauve Adders.
[*]Latency issues when performing actions such as selling and interacting.
[/LIST]

Here to help! Thank you!

FEDERATION MONITORS PRO-XENO ACTIVITY - 12 September
The Thargoids are back and some people are waaaay too happy about it. People are flocking to the Far God Cult and asking if we can give the big genocidal space bugs a chance at peace. I for one welcome our insect overlords and their giant cannons of death.

Greetings Commanders.

Here to address the variety of stability issues you've encountered and reported today, since we released a small hotfix this morning to target a lighting issue.

This hotfix unfortunately included some incomplete data which is causing the crashes you have been experiencing.
We have made the decision to roll back this hotfix in order for you to be able to have the best experience possible in game, over the course of the long weekend ahead.
We will then address the underlying issue following the team's return on Tuesday, after the Bank Holiday.

Thank you for your patience, as always.
Your communication today has been ever outstanding, despite the frustration many of you will have faced.
It's much appreciated o7

Have a wonderful weekend, please.

Greetings Commanders!

What a week!!! We hope you're all doing okay out there in The Black and are looking forward to new adventures across the course of your weekend ahead.

Bringing a delivery in closing to you this afternoon - a number of small but valuable little fixes for both Horizons and Odyssey Commanders, made possible by server side address.

Full notes can be found here: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/elite-dangerous-post-update-13-fixes

As always, thank you for your continued feedback, reports and involve... Read more

Don't know about you but this last weekend sure did fly by.

Anyway, let's kick off another week with the latest from the Discovery Scanner.

As usual, here's hoping you have a strong week in the G... Read more

Greetings Commanders!

Forgive me, it's been such a rush to actually get back into a routine again after last Thursday's happenings.
After scrambling to return to our home base and FDEV Towers, Bruce and I are back to business as usual, if a little sore in the head (probably from the scuffle, of course, but no doubt mostly down to the sheer shock of it all!).

Anyway, this week's Discover Scanner is now live for your consumption: www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-24102022

A couple of segments in there for you... Read more

Greetings Commanders!

Nice little breakfast-vibe post for you to kick the day off early this morning, depending on your time zone, so we can start carving out the day just right.

As I mention in the 'Game News' section, we are still attentively farming feedback and relaying it in discussions around remaining, highly talked about issues with the development team to ensure we can provide accurate responses regarding their acknowledgement and progress.
This is naturally in line with regular duties and forward planning so we will be with you as soon as we can o7

Have a great day anyway, all! Here's your Discovery Scanner for the day: www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-15082022

See you in the black (and very green, eerie debris...).
