Todd ‘Maniac’ Marshall, at your service, ma’am!

Elite: Dangerous continues to mature with the latest 1.1 BETA update. The addition of Community Goals adds missions for groups of players to work towards, like destroying xamount of enemies, or hauling a certain cargo to a destination. The success or failure of these goals will be felt in-universe as factions gain or lose strength accordingly.

  • Community Goals added Route planning extended to 1,000 ly
  • Russian language translations added
  • Add ‘Discovered by’ tag to system map – needs to be surfaced scanned
  • Fancy new gas giant shader
  • City lights on inhabited planets
  • Pilots Federation rank decals
  • Parallax shader for cloud layer on terrestrial planets
  • Add explored system details on the right hand side of the cartographics shop
  • Top benefactors support added to system map

Elite: Dangerousis still very much a work in progress. However, Frontier Developments keeps expanding it towards their goal of a 1:1, living, breathing version of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Elite: Dangerous is available now for $59.99.
