"The galaxy servers will be taken down tomorrow (28/06) at 8:00 AM (BST)"
"The downtime is expected to last for approximately 9 hours."

It is currently ~11AM. Therefore it has been 3 hours.
9-3 = 6, therefore, 6 hours to go.

the notes are unfortunately only tomorrow. the developers have to play the game first to know what's really in it.

Patch notes normally go out not long after the servers go down on patch day... Which is today

I'm sure the patch notes are going through the final phase now, which is adding a few typos to confuse people and to add the "Mysterious Things" entries.

CMDR MAIN SEQUENCE · Jun 28, 2018

A plea to FD - please replicate the current Training Missions/Challenge Scenarios from the main game into the Single Player Combat Training (SPCT). I hadn't played the training scenarios for a while so thought I would get my Elite fix while the servers are down. Unfortunately the SPCT has not been updated for years, or maybe never at all. It does not use the same bindings as the main game so I had to re-do those. In the end I had to stop playing because there is no option to turn off the ship acceleration judder and it was making me nauseous.

Greetings Commanders,

The galaxy servers will be taken down tomorrow (28/06) at 8:00 AM (BST) to reploy update 3.1 Elite Dangerous: Beyond - Chapter Two.

The downtime is expected to last for approximately 9 hours. There is a chance that this could run over, so we really appreciate your patience. As usual with these updates we'll keep you as up to date as possible.

We will post the full changelog tomorrow.

but the notes are not until tomorrow[noob]

Messing around planning a krait exploration/expedition build (not longest range), managed to get around 46-47 ly with SLF & SRV's but Coriolis doesn't seem to have Guardian FSD boosters on there though: https://s.orbis.zone/2Yo48qfu
