Greetings Commanders!

In order to ensure the best possible experience we have made a small change to the release date of Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy, to adjust an issue with NPCs still being more aggressive than intended.

Thursday 31 October sees the eagerly awaited release of Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy, featuring the new Mandalay exploration ship, Powerplay 2.0 and more!

Here's when things kick off:
  • 06:00 GMT - Maintenance begins and Elite Dangerous servers offline
  • 15:00 GMT - Maintenance complete and Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy is available
Please note that these are approximate times and are subject to change.

Full patch notes will be available alongside the release of Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy.

Things to be aware of
  • Powerplay ranks will be reset when Ascendancy is available. You will need to pledge to a Power if you wish to get involved with Powerplay on release.
  • The Mandalay will be available as early access via Arx initially. It will be available for credits in the future.

Жаль ждать снова. Не беспокойте меня, я пишу транслитерацией.

It's a pity to wait again. Don't bother me, I'm writing in transliteration.

See, I told those guys to take anger management courses, but apparently they just wanted to really keep shooting stuff.

Part of me wants to ask what you’re having Cocijo do on Halloween, but then Old Ones don’t tend to answer to us mere mortals, so I’ll just have to wait to be spooked surprised.

Any word on the Type-8 being available in-game for credits?

Indeed it was but we've made a slight change in order to persuade a couple of NPCs to really chill out a bit. Get them off the energy drinks for a day or two.
