Elite: Dangerous Dev Tracker

Greetings Commanders.

I hope you don't mind the flavour change this afternoon, but it's been a little while since we released new suits in the online store for you all so I thought I might share a heads up on them here.

A fresh looking take on the Vintage fit you've all been used to seeing so far.

The 'Vintage Reflect' comes in 3 colourations bundled together for a total of 16,520 ARX.

You know what I'm going to say, right?

Greetings Commanders!

A new week is reaching its denouement and our characters in this theatrical performance must soon take their bow. So let us cast aside the scripts we have been given and recite from memory the events of this production. It's round up time!

Greetings Commanders!

Quite a bumper beat for a Monday morning today, in the form of Discovery Scanner latest!

In this week's instalment you'll find a recap on last week's communications, plus some little updates to known issue progress from game side news, followed by an important note for a future planned revision to the Influencer Team's YouTube 'Elite Dangerous Partner Program' creator criteria and a celebration of a favourite Elite Dangerous series season kick off.

Greetings Commanders and a happy Monday to you.

Here we go again with another instalment of Discovery Scanner! Here's hoping your Monday has been kind to you thus far and the week rolls out to be a great one for you.

[HR][/HR]

Another light and fun vibe for you all today.

In terms of game news - With the team very much heads down, hard at work with progressing toward Update 15, we don't have any major headlines other than pangs of reassurance for you this side of the week, but as we look to share more with you in regards to general progress on game side overall, we'll naturally keep you informed of any immediate news, "on the fly", as we move through the days ahead.

There's also a very fun plan for this week's Frameshift Live, PLUS some more talented, creative Commanders in the spotlight!

To embellish or become one?

Commanders, the Emporium has taken quite a 'creaky door' turn today, as a deep fog rolls into the showroom -cough/splutter- with the latest offerings we have for you...

[HR][/HR]

The Elite Dangerous Online Store welcomes stock of the all new 'Carapace Pack' for the Alliance Chieftain, Anaconda, Krait Mk II, Cobra Mk III and Imperial Cutter.

Each Carapace Pack contains:

Greetings Commanders.

Happy to report today that a fix is now live for the following known issue that was shared, as part of the Update 15 Release notes:

[LIST]
[*][FIXED] Reboot Missions (specifically Thargoid War variants) do not currently count towards Jude Navarro Engineer progression.
[/LIST]

One more time to confirm, that's:
Reboot Missions, specifically Thargoid War variants, now count toward progression with Jude Navarro.

[HR][/HR]

As with the nature of development, the team will apply fixes as soon as they're able to efficiently. This one was able to be implemented promptly, where others we've recently acknowledged either take longer or require a different implementation method.
We all really like to make sure you have issues addressed as soon as they become available, as oppose to making you wait, so hopefully this is a positive o7

With that short an... Read more

Greetings Commanders,

As mentioned as part of Discovery Scanner this week, we alerted you of pending balance changes in relation to Thargoid War activity, to better reflect recent player actions and feedback.

These will be incoming as part of tomorrow's routine maintenance tick.

[HR][/HR]

Thargoid War balance changes.
[LIST]
[*]Previously unpopulated systems that are now under Thargoid Control or Alert states will be easier to push back.
[*]Thargoids will deprioritize expanding into unpopulated systems.
[/LIST]

[HR][/HR]

Additionally, Commanders, you will be wise to keep your eyes wide for the latest news from GalNet tomorrow...
We hear someone may be about to author us some important information...

[HR][/HR]

Here's hoping you're having a great week so far.

Greetings Commanders.

Wishing you pleasant Monday wishes today, as you explore the Galaxy depths or wander the "real world" (whatever that is, actually. I prefer space).

Greetings Commanders.

I am not Paul. I am Sally.

UNFORTUNATELY for you all, I resemble Paul very little in the Dark Lord kind of sense, however he is at the moment unable to come to the phone due to reasons we wish him extremely well on.
That being said, he did leave me with the absolute honour of delivering you all his GalNet News Roundup today, which he prepared in advance.

I will play messenger in his honour.

Let's enjoy o7

Greetings Commanders!

A new week descends upon our fragile frames, and to quote one of the great authors of cosmic horror: "AGH! MY EYES! AGH!". Let's take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy a nice cup of tea as terrifying creatures that lurk in the shadows slowly devour our friends and relatives. It's GalNet round up day!

Greetings Commanders,

I have bittersweet news. Following some re-shuffling among the Community teams at Frontier, I'm moving on to new projects and stepping back from Elite.

It's been just over three years since I joined Frontier and thrust into the galaxy of Elite Dangerous. Since then, I have grown and learned an incredible amount and thoroughly enjoyed engaging with members of the community. Above all aspects of the job, interacting with players directly has always been my favourite. I would like to thank you all for your involvement here on the forums, Discord servers, Twitch chats, and everywhere else. Being a part of that has been an absolute pleasure.

Elite is in fantastic hands with Arthur, Paul, and Sally on the community team and knowing what's coming this year in Update 15 and beyond, I will watch things unfold with excitement. Meanwhile, I'll still be at Frontier so you may see me involved in other games - please feel free to say hello!

Full details of how to begin the process and what is included in the transfer can be found in this post.

If you are still attempting to track chronological milestones in order to fit in with humans so they don't notice the zip in your flesh suit, then a quick heads up that today is "Friday". That means it is time for another GalNet Roundup!

THARGOID WAR UPDATE: MARCH 3309 - 29 March 3309
War. Badddum du du dum. What is it good for? Extending all the narratives, SAY IT AGAIN! Yes, the Thargoid War continues to rage across the cosmos as the intergalactic mouldy starfruits maintain their campaign of squishing humanity beneath their appendages of unknowable design. With the return of Aegis and their caustic sink launcher (that sadly does not fire acidic washbasins), independent pilots have maint... Read more
