Greetings Commanders.

Very recent events within the Galaxy have resulted in a number of on foot Commanders, who were residing at Bright Sentinel, to become stranded with unavailable rescue.

The team are investigating a way to salvage those affected and we'll update you on progress with rescue as soon as possible.

[[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]EDIT[/COLOR]: 14:19 BST] Server side rescue team deployed. Commanders, you should now be safe and sound.

Stay safe out there o7

And so, Salvation is nigh…Update 13 and the conclusion of the Azimuth Saga are only a short number of hours away and we’re on the edge of our c*ckpit seats.

We are still very much on track and working to the following, remaining itinerary:

Locking thread - Horizons 4.0 is not released yet, performance issue was separate and resolved :)

No spoilers, no secret messages...Just that some idiot put 'Drive' instead of 'Live'. That idiot will be severely beaten and punished as per protocol*

*That idiot is me. I have already stubbed my toe in penance.

Hi all!
We’re aware of some potential server disruption. The team are investigating. Keeping my eye on here o7

Greetings Commanders!

This is it! We opened the door to September!

We have the latest news on our targeted release plan for console profile copy portal in place for you today, which you can absorb over in the following post: ... Read more

These weeks genuinely are flying by in the Galaxy right now, Commanders but there's still lots to come before the year ends.

Fear not, we will be sharing preparations and walking alongside you throughout Update 14 Launch day, as usual with any update release, right here in the Forums.
I'll be sure to share the expected order of proceedings wi... Read more

Greetings Commanders.

We all hope you've had a good weekend and are ready to set course for another week of discovery in the Galaxy.
This week's Discovery Scanner is now live for your attention.

https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-03102022

Another primarily Community focused one for you today, with possibly the most poignant information being a change to our livestream schedule this week.

Hope you all have a great day!

See you in the black o7

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

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...).

Greetings Commanders.

Many of you have been incredibly patient with this one, so thank you as always o7

Issue: When attempting to equip any of the pre-Odyssey Commander clothing cosmetics (eg: Desperado), Commanders receive a 'Livery Error'.
Issue Tracker link: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/51798.

The team have been looking into this issue as a reported priority with a view to address - when we know more on the targeted expectation of a fix, we'll let you know.

Full appreciation extended that this would be a frustration for many, right now, as no further information is available in terms of timeframes, but again accept our thanks for your patience and for reporting your experien... Read more

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!

Greetings Commanders,

To continue focus on providing the best experience for the more commonly used systems, we will no longer be testing Windows 7 compatibility for any future Elite Dangerous updates. As a result, we cannot guarantee future updates or compatibility for Windows 7 users.

Greetings Commanders.

In relation to this morning's minor update (recap details can be found here: forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-odyssey-minor-update-08-09-2022.607786/), I'm opening up this thread to keep an eye on proceedings/relay any timing changes and such regarding server downtime, to save the original (now 7 pages long) thread getting bloated.

By all means, continue to chat in there if you like - of course!

I'll keep this one locked for now and talk to myself in the comments until servers are back up, then... Read more
