Elite Dangerous players can now access new tutorial videos on pirating and laser mining, while Frontier Development’s shareholder report highlights their focus on CMS titles and ongoing restructuring. The community is also engaged in community goals related to the thargoid Titan motherships, with speculation on how their destruction or removal could impact the game’s narrative.
In Elite Dangerous news, two new guide videos have been released by Commander Deturi, covering the basics of pirating and laser mining in the game. These concise and well-presented videos include linked ship builds and are chaptered for easy navigation. Frontier Development has also released their financial interim results, focusing on their return and refocus on CMS titles for the next three years. While Elite wasn’t mentioned in detail, the report confirms that it continues to be a steady earner for the company. The restructuring of the company is ongoing, with phase two expected to be completed in the next month. Unfortunately, key developer Tom Kou has announced his departure from the company, but his last efforts on Elite Dangerous will be seen in update 18.
In terms of gameplay, two new community goals have been initiated by Professor Albertezro from EGIS. Citizen Ramar has presented a theory to the Zeno Research and Defense Agency regarding the thargoid Titan motherships positioned on the fringes of human space. EGIS has requested large quantities of Guardian relics and unclassified relics to be shipped to the Limpet and defense systems engineering installation in the mean system. These community goals aim to develop prototypes of a potential weapon system and offer Guardian-themed ship paint jobs as rewards. The community is speculating on what the destruction or removal of the Titans would mean for the game and how the established thargoid gameplay would evolve.
Overall, the Elite Dangerous community can look forward to new guide videos, ongoing support for the game from Frontier Development, and the opportunity to participate in community goals that may shape the future of the game’s narrative. The departure of key developer Tom Kou is a loss for the community, but his contributions will be seen in the upcoming update. As the staffing review process continues, the community is advised to remain patient and confident in the game’s future while waiting for official updates from Frontier.
