Frontier has set loose update 1.1 for Elite: Dangerous which ”expands the core game” with community-based goals, aptly named Community Goals. These let players participate in significant story events.
They’re available in solo, multiplayer or private group modes. Now we can really help build the galaxy together, which has also expanded with route planning now at 1,000 light years. Astrophysics FTW.
Graphical enhancements mean the planets look better than ever in Elite: Dangerous’ ”full-scale recreation of the Milky Way,” which has been 0.000223% discovered by the community thus far, which is 895,135 systems. French, German and Russian localisations are in.
”1.2, planned for early March, will focus on multiplayer and introduce new ways for players to group together, communicate and locate friends in Elite: Dangerous’ galaxy,” explained the studio.
