In the latest Elite Dangerous news update, Commander Burr provides insights into the ongoing Thargoid war and highlights several exciting developments for players. The current focus is on the Titan in the community’s sights, which is Thor. Before a direct assault can commence, the surrounding systems must be cleared, and with 63 systems still under control, it is expected that the attack will begin in two to three weeks. The update suggests that the Thargoid war, in its current form, may conclude before the end of the year.
Commander Hamborger returns with a new exploration blog detailing their adventures in the Deep Black. The blog features enthusiastic commentary and stunning screenshots while also offering valuable tips and tricks discovered during their journey. This week’s entry emphasizes the highs and lows of their exploration and hints at future destinations, making it a worthwhile read for commanders looking for inspiration during long supercruise sessions.
The video also discusses a special immersive audio experience called “Subtle Mob,” hosted by community member Alec Turner at this year’s Elite Community Meet (ECM) in Reading, UK. Participants will need a device to play MP3 audio files, headphones, and to download specific audio files without listening to them beforehand to fully enjoy the experience. Commander Turner has created a video with all necessary instructions and links, which is available in the video description.
Looking ahead to August, two new ships are set to make their debut in Elite Dangerous. The Python Mark I, designed for supercruise overcharge, will be released on August 7th, featuring multiple utility and hardpoints, as well as improved performance in supercruise. Additionally, the Type 8 medium freighter is expected to arrive later in the month, likely through ARX. Players are eager for more information during the Frontier monthly livestream on July 31st, where details about the Type 8 and other game updates will be discussed.
Finally, viewers are encouraged to share their exploration discoveries and plans for the new ships in the comments section. The community is buzzing with excitement for the upcoming changes and events, including the anticipated Power Play 2.0 scheduled for September. Commander Burr wraps up the video by thanking viewers and promising more content in the future, urging them to stay safe in the game.
