Update 12 moved to 7 June

[Paul_Crowther]

Greetings Commanders,

In light of the upcoming bank holidays, Update 12's release date is moving to 7 June. This is to ensure the development team are available to monitor the changes post-launch. Thank you for understanding!

In case you missed it, we discussed some of the expected changes in our latest episode of Frameshift Live:

Damn, I'm going to have to reorganize my party. (/s) Thanks for the update Paul

Those bank holidays do sneak up on us.

I think it's a good decision.

So the well known in advance bank holidays suddenly mean the release is delayed.

Yes. And probably some other factors which pushed the release towards the end of the month and into the bank holiday zone. Better right than rushed.

 

[Giogi]

I would have been surprised otherwise

 

[Animage]

And it was expected

 

[HeatherG]

Thank you Paul

 

[Kaput]

LOL

 

[SimWithDon]

On the bright side, we now have a date.
(... and quality is better than quantity IMHO)

[RealDanFitz]

A sensible, informed decision! Looking forward to it!

 

[Rat Catcher]

That's no good! I'm washing my hair then...

 

[Old Duck]

But Frontier isn't a bank...

 

[Snowymonk]

Eh up....
You are going to have to update the Discovery Scanner article on the main website --> https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discovery-scanner-23052022
It still says

This is merely scratching the surface when it comes to the amount of work put in to Update 12, so stay tuned in the coming weeks for more information, as well as the full patch notes on release day, which is currently aiming for the end of May.

 

[Darkman Returns]

Ah the old "let's blame the Bank Holidays" excuse

 

[HRDiagram]

For the Emperor!

 

[shevek]

Understandable as the UK is going on a 4 day drinking session that weekend.

 

[StevieG]

Most of the country has booked off that week..... half the devs will be on a beach.... whats that word I'm looking for.... foresight?
