September Update
 

 
141081


For those of you who have been stranded out in the black and somehow missed it, here's also a super-duper QUICK recap of the September Update.

  • This year's updates are focused on improving the starter experience for new commanders. We're adding a fully-voiced, in-game, in-ship tutorial, covering the basics of space flight, combat, traveling and scanning. Also, this experience is available in all of our in-game supported languages! Speaking of you veterans, you'll be able to access this from your right-hand panel at any time so you won't even need to wipe your save!
  • In addition, we'll be reworking and rebranding what some of you might know as Frontier Points, introducing them as Arx. These Arx will be purchasable and used to buy Game Extras such as Paint Jobs, Ship Kits, Bobbleheads and more. What's great about Arx is that you will be able to earn them in-game by... simply playing the game!

The September Update will be launched 18 September for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One!

We'll be delving deeper into Fleet Carriers and all they can do in upcoming livestreams and forum posts later this year! 

 



*I have several billion in-game credits and will be purchasing a Fleet Carrier for the VETERANS-GAMING Squadron in Elite: Dangerous as soon as they release in December, and will place it based on current group activities to support whatever we are doing, and will outfit it to most benefit our current in-game operations.  Will be happy to re-tool and re-fit it, as well as re-locate it when needed, based on group decision.  And standing open invitation to anyone who wants to learn some killer in-game money making strategies that will help you afford your own Fleet Carrier in no time, just let me know!  Videos and guides help, but nothing is faster than flying around with someone and learning while making half a billion credits in one gaming session!
