In Elite Dangerous news, Commander Sovereign Winter completed a challenging journey to remote star systems, leaving tribute cargo behind. Patch 1806 is set to introduce significant changes to influence and payouts in the Thargoid war, aiming to balance gameplay and make activities more rewarding for players.
In Elite Dangerous news, a Commander named Sovereign Winter completed an epic challenge by taking every single ship, fighter, and SRV in the game to the remote star systems of Beagle Point and Isham’s Reach, leaving tribute cargo in each system. This achievement took years to accomplish and involved a variety of ships, with plans to embark on the journey again in 2024. The attack on the Thargoid Titan Hadad has begun, with players working to bring it down as part of the ongoing Thargoid war.
Patch 1806 is set to arrive in Elite Dangerous next week, focusing on significant changes to influence and payouts in the Thargoid war. The patch notes released by Frontier indicate a shift in gameplay balance to address issues where certain activities were more rewarding than others, without corresponding levels of effort or risk. The update aims to make various activities in the Thargoid war more effective and rewarding for players, including adjustments to system difficulty and combat mechanics against Thargoid Titans.
The changes in patch 1806 also target Thargoid Spire sites, which had become primarily used for farming rather than active participation in the war effort. By increasing the effectiveness of actions against the Spire itself, players are encouraged to engage more directly in combat and strategic operations. The overall sentiment towards the upcoming changes in the Thargoid war system appears positive, with players looking forward to a more balanced and engaging gameplay experience.
Frontier announced that the servers will be down for maintenance on Tuesday morning to implement patch 1806, with the changes expected to enhance the Thargoid war experience for players. The update is seen as a step towards offering more choice and meaningful gameplay options in the ongoing conflict with the Thargoids. Players are encouraged to share their thoughts on the upcoming changes and their participation in events like the attack on Hadad or the journey to Beagle Point in the comments section. Stay tuned for more Elite Dangerous news and updates in the coming weeks.
