Elite Dangerous Update 16 Patch Notes

FEATURES OF NOTE

Added to …

• New passenger evacuation missions have been added. Wealthy passengers will now be requesting expedited evacuation from locations affected by the presence of the Thargoids for additional credits (if you can appease their requirements and demands) 

• The Thargoids will, as of this Thursday’s maintenance ‘tick’ ahead, retreat from any system when their hold on that system is defeated. Previously this would only occur for Invasion systems.

• In honour of the late Michael Brookes, a new organisation has been added to the game, Brookes Galactic Tours.

  • You can now find their adverts in most markets and their new megaship, The Legacy, which can be found in Artemis near Freeholm.

  • Brookes Galactic Tours has also established a new mini-series of tourist beacons to a handful of fantastic locations, the first of this series begins at the beacon at Freeholm. We hope you enjoy exploring and will take a moment to pause and enjoy the wonder that Mike helped bring to the universe of Elite.

COMMUNITY ISSUES OF NOTE ADDRESSED

• Release fees for impounded ships that are not the player’s current ship can now be paid

• Fix for being able to only accept one squadron application at a time 

• Fix for visual artefacting in planetary rings 

• Fix for Thargoid interceptor “Energy Surge Detected” notification not triggering on their arrival 

• Fix for fires inside buildings at Thargoid Occupied settlements not being extinguished when venting via the Atmospheric Control Panel

GAMEPLAY

• Commanders will now be able to target or plot a route to Titans or Maelstroms via the System Map.

• Collector limpets will now be much less prone to collisions when collecting objects near asteroid surfaces.

• Fixed potential crash when exiting mission completion screen.

Players assume the role of a spaceship pilot, beginning their journey with limited resources and a spacecraft.

Players can choose from a range of roles, including traders, miners, explorers, bounty hunters, pirates, and assassins. Each role presents unique challenges and rewards, allowing players to shape their own path in this open-ended universe.

The game’s multiplayer aspect, known as Open Play, enables players to interact with each other in a persistent, massively multiplayer environment. Players can form alliances, participate in large-scale battles, and influence the narrative of the shared universe through their actions. However, it’s worth noting that while Open Play allows a degree of freedom for player interactions, certain actions, such as griefing or exploiting game mechanics, are strictly prohibited and can lead to consequences such as bans from the main server. For those who prefer a solitary experience, Elite Dangerous also provides an online-only single-player mode.
