Game News

Following the release of Update 14, all of the Elite Dangerous teams would like to extend a huge 'thank you' to all Commanders for their thoughts, feedback and interaction following this quite monumental step forward in the shape and progression of The Galaxy.

We're aware of a number of issues reported since the update deployment and would like to reassure all that they have been noted.

As soon as we have more information on further actions based off feedback, we will of course let you know via our usual social channels, here on web and also via the News and Bulletins section of the Elite Dangerous Forums.

To recap the discussion of Update 14, you can hop over to the following links for both the Live/4.0 release thread and Legacy release thread.

Thargaid: Flee from Sol

We were delighted to see this wonderful creation along with the warmest of intentions behind it, gracing the Elite Dangerous community conversations over the course of the weekend.

"The Canonn council are delighted to have three members and Dr Arcanonn himself participate in a Christmas musical number this year to raise money for a wonderful charity, Special Effect."

To further quote: "The video is an adaptation of an ancient 20th Century charity song and like the original, features a cast of celebrities from around the galaxy. who have agreed to sing. Perhaps you might recognise some."

Additional Commander Credits listed:

• The Music was arranged by Cmdr ToCoSo 
• The video was composed by LCU No Fool Like One. 
• Additional video credit to OrangePheonix 
• With special thanks to BeetleJude and many more listed in the 'More Info' section of the fantastic video on YouTube.
