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?

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.

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, We're pleased to announce that Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy is now scheduled to release on Tuesday 29th October! Exact timings will be shared in the coming days. [ATTACH type="full"]405563[/ATTACH]

Greetings Commanders, Following feedback and our team’s observations across the Elite Partner Program early access period, we have made the decision to push the release date of Ascendancy to the week commencing 28th October to address an NPC balancing issue and a crash instance, in order to ensure the best possible experience. As the Mandalay early access is included as part of the Ascendancy content, this will also be pushed in line with the updated release date. We’re sorry you have to wait a little longer, but we can’t wait to see how you shape the galaxy when Ascendancy is launched!

I don't suppose there'll be a way for those that missed a Titan to catch up in order to get the full decal/skins..?

You can only gain all the rewards if you have been involved in fighting all the Titans but you do get each incremental rewards for every Titan you have been involved in fighting.

Paul, are you able to confirm if Combat Bonds gathered with telepresence multi crew not counting towards a Titan are a bug or is it working as intended please?

Only the actual pilot gets contributions when fighting the Titans. Telepresence won't be counted.

Greetings Commanders, With the wounds still healing from the unexpected Thargoid attack on Shinrarta Dezhra the time has come to unleash humanity's favourite hobby: Revenge!

Greetings Commanders! This week the Elite franchise celebrates an amazing 40 years of bringing you the freedom to explore the Milky Way in your own unique way! [HEADING=1]Elite (1984)[/HEADING] [ATTACH type="full" width="842px"]401988[/ATTACH] "Elite" was written by David Braben and Ian Bell starting in 1982 while the authors were still at Cambridge University. It was first published by Acornsoft on the BBC Micro in September 1984 to huge critical acclaim. The rights to other computer platforms were then auctioned by Jacqui Lyons of Marjacq, and British Telecom then went on to publish on many other platforms under the name of Firebird. "Elite" set many firsts, and was the first genuine 3D game on home computers. Even many years after its release it is fondly remembered. For example "Probably the best computer game ever" (The Times, December 1988). It went on to sell around 1,000,000 units, and is popular still, having appeared on most popular formats.

Elite Dangerous Live/4.0 servers are now coming back online and Update 18.09 is available. Though we're getting some strange reports from the Shinrarta Dezhra system...

The issue with module swapping has been investigated. We can confirm this was a temporary visual issue and no items have been lost. Users should no longer see issues with module swapping. If you continue to experience the issue please let us know: https://issues.frontierstore.net

Commanders, We’re currently investigating reports of modules becoming unavailable when swapping. We advise you to currently refrain from swapping modules between ships and stations whilst we look into this.
