Headline Notes:
- Added
to We appreciate the "air of mystery" in comments like this can be a frustration to many of you sometimes, however we do hope that an additional many of you will understand that mystery elements are what can truly make Elite Dangerous an intriguing place to be, especially with evolving narrative elements - 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).
- As of this Thursday's maintenance 'tick' (August 3) the Thargoids will 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.
