THE COMING OF TARANIS - 21 November
Nothing says safe and friendly like naming a giant unknown alien object after a Celtic god of thunder, but here we are! Dr Pope and the crew of the Kingfisher know that 'Taranis' (or 'Mr big Zappy Zap' if you're afraid of fancy words) is going to hurtle through the Hyades Sector YO-Q b5-1 system and they're making ...

Greetings Commanders.

Monday, Monday. So good to me.
Monday morning, it was all I hoped for the Galaxy.

We're back, with another delivery of Discovery Scanner today with more of a lighter, Community focused feel today.
Naturally if you're looking specifically for game news, we're now gearing up toward the next major update - Update 14 - so do remain as patient with us as ever (thank you!) as we align ourselves with the next objective.

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!

All the best wishes coming your way for a discovery filled week ahead.

Coming to you today with the latest edition of Discovery Scanner.
This one does hold some important updates regarding the Console Copy Portal release, as well as the next steps toward 4.0.

I'll leave you to enjoy at your leisure: www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-12092022

Have a great day.

See you in the black o7

Greetings Commanders!

I know there is a separate thread on this as part of Discovery Scanner but I want to be a thorough as possible with what's to come regarding the Console Copy Portal opening tomorrow.
To reference mention of this, head on over to the news post here or see the discussion ... Read more

Greetings Commanders.

A post to share a little information today on an issue that quite a few of you have previously raised, whereby filtering by ship (and other filter methods at times) in the Elite Dangerous Gamestore was not working for you.
In other instance reports, the product carousels were sometimes looking incorrect in their aspect ratio from time to time also.

I'm pleased to say that these issues have now been addressed and those of you who were experiencing problems previously will now be able to correctly filter products, and will see improvements to the product carousel.

Greetings Commanders.

Do you know what? This went quite well last time, so I'm going to go off the rails a bit and do it again.
Today launches the Console Copy Portal for bringing Console Commanders into the PC Galaxy!

I released a post yesterday, in relation to the portal roll-out, that you can recap on: Linked HERE.

As we have hit a minor delay in the release time window (previously scheduled for mid morning, now scheduled for mid afternoon), I thought it might be helpful for you to have somewhere to check in on me talki... Read more

Greetings Commanders.

This Halloween is sending chills throughout the galaxy with an unsettling in-game story to be told...

A harrowing tragedy has befallen a number citizens in the bubble.
What happened to them?
Anyone who solves the puzzles and uncovers the truth will be rewarded with four unique cosmetics.

Will you dare to follow the breadcrumbs all the way down the trail...?

Stay tuned to GalNet, in-game or via our website for your first hint, coming this Thursday, 20th October.

[This event is open to Horizons 3.8, 4.0 and Odyssey Commanders]

Greetings Commanders,

Forgive this week's instalment of Discovery Scanner being a little later than planned today as the Update 14 Release Schedule information took priority.

You've already caught the forum post on the schedule itself, which does heavily feature in today's DS article, however there are some other little nuggets of fun in line with that angle of news today too, for example a Frameshift Live #22 heads up and a little more.

You'll find the latest Discovery Scanner article live here: ... Read more

Greetings Commanders.

With the release of the 'Console Copy Portal' we are seeing reports of several of you hitting continuous 'Database Error' when attempting to complete the process.

This is currently looking to be due to potentially linked to one of two issues:

[*]One being the fact that your desired Commander name is potentially taken and the error isn't triggering (because you're moving through the process quite quickly).

[*]I can't believe I'm typing this but whatever helps at ... Read more

Greetings Commanders,

Due to the overwhelming number of Commanders accessing the Console Copy Portal and the scale of data being transferred, wait times can be up to 5hrs for the copy process to complete.

Please bear in mind that you will not be able to play Elite Dangerous whilst the copy process is taking place.

You will also be unable to log in to any frontier services while the process is happening: that includes the User Portal, ARX Store and DLC Store.

This is a monumental moment! Thank you for your patience.
We're so excited to see you all soon!

Greetings Commanders.

Look...we've decided (this is more of a confession actually).

Arf, Bruce and myself just won't be able to replicate the incredible 'scribe vibe' of the legendary Paul Crowther whilst he's away for the month, so we've decided to put the weekly, much loved Galnet Roundup posts on Pause until he is back from holiday on October 24th.

Hope this isn't too much of a disappointment (even WE'RE disappointed in ourselves for lacking the awesomeness of our Dark Lord, but honestly, we couldn't even match up to his witty finesse at this point. They're just too..."Paul").

Let's look forward to then!

Greetings Commanders.

Wanting to post this out as a courtesy message today, acknowledging the ongoing reports of unexpected happenings with the rewarding of (or lack of) combat bonds whilst in multicrew.
Naturally, reports have continued to trickle in around this issue, following several of our recent CGs involving combat bonds.

This issue is noted and considered a priority to investigate further into why and how this is happening on dev side, however for full disclosure, we don't have specifics on when you can expect a fix just yet. The reason I'm posting this here today though, is to reassure you that it's one of a priority to continue to keep eyes on.

Any further information I have on the matter will absolutely be shared with you as soon as I have it.

Thanks for your patience, as always.

Greetings Commanders.

A very in theme post for you today for your instalment of Discovery Scanner this week.

One of the main talking points would be a little announcement on a special event for your diaries coming next week.
Just wanted to start the ball rolling this week because...well...at least one of us is on the hyperactive side of 'won't shut up about it on this side, so may as well extend it early to Commander side' excitement, that's for sure.
