Discovery Scanner - 18/07/2022

Greetings Commanders.

We’re as fresh as can be from an incredible time in attendance at the much loved and iconic event on any Commander’s calendar - Lavecon 2022.

This edition of Discovery Scanner will recap a few fond memories from our time there but first let’s delve into that little bit of what I’m still tirelessly calling, ‘Galactical Housekeeping’.

Community Goals:
Full force efforts continue with Community Goals from the last week, continuing onward.

DELIVER GUARDIAN ARTEFACTS TO THE BRIGHT SENTINEL IN HIP 22460 | 21 Hours Remaining.
Azimuth Biotech has repeated its call for Guardian artefacts to be delivered to the HIP 22460 system.

FIGHT THE THARGOIDS IN HIP 22460 | 2 Days Remaining.
As the Thargoid presence increases in the HIP 22460 system, Azimuth Biotech and the superpowers call for reinforcements.

SUPPORT FEDERAL STRIKE AGAINST CRIME SYNDICATE | 2 Days Remaining.
The Federation has offered bounties to hunt down all surviving Red Family ships in the Andowatye system.

Discovery Scanner - 04/07/2022

Greetings Commanders.


Another new week arrives in the Elite Dangerous Galaxy for us all. Here’s hoping it brings as many exciting, continued adventures for you all.
Let’s delve into a little ‘Galactical Housekeeping’, shall we?


GAME NEWS
We remain on target for this August to welcome in the release of Update 13.

I’m afraid we can’t be any more specific with you on an exact date but as soon as we have more information to share, we will let you know.
We also have no further information around Console Profile Transfers, other than what has already been announced to you but again, as soon as we have more we’ll be sharing it out.
We hear you loud and clear on the known issues front, with remaining stability issues and issues around accessing ship functions from within Stations (there are more to note, as listed in previous posts and the last Discovery Scanner rundown) being some of the major ones.
The teams remain working as hard as ever to investigate open and reported issues and as soon as we have updates on progress, we’ll be right there in the Forum to report in.

Thank you as always for your constructive feedback and reports.
