Hi everyone,

The Elite Dangerous galaxy servers will be down for PC for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The updates will go live to PS4 and Xbox One at a later date (I'll confirm the date ASAP) - the console versions of the game will not be affected by this downtime.

The change log will be posted below... ASAP. Thanks!

Thanks for the work. Now waiting to see what we get :D

  • After reviewing overall player experiences since 2.4, we've adjusted the number of missions the servers attempt to send for each board or passenger lounge

I hope they didn't got reduced? Is 'adjusting' now a synonym for 'decreasing'? :eek:
From 23 missions down to 8!!!! Welcome back board hopping! :(
However, i was hoping for more different ones rather than 8 times Mining missions in an industrial system with boom state within the bubble :rolleyes:

Intresting.....

Between... what is with the returned scan-ram-Bug? Will it keep happening or is there something on board?

lewis seeing passenger missions were not working as intended will we see a rebalance in it as they are giving really low payouts after this fix?
