Elite Dangerous Update 2 once more focuses on Fleet Carriers and stability issues that were introduced during that massive patch. There’s not much balancing here but plenty of minor nagging bugs look to have been quashed, specifically in regards to the interactions between the carriers and other ships.
Mining again sees a tweak, with players no longer able to respawn deposits by re-entering the instance or switching to a ship launched fighter. This combined with Update 1’s nerf of mining yields should have the effect of reducing the rapid income generation some players were able to manage.
As usual, we’ve taken a look at the Elite: Dangerous patch notes and picked out the key points most likely to affect players below:
