Greetings Commanders.
Last week was quite a one! We're already getting enthusiastically stuck into this one with today's Discovery Scanner for starters.
Here's to a great week ahead for all. âGalactical Housekeepingâ time!
Update 13 Post Release Recap:
As many of you are very much aware, Update 13 arrived last week on August 9th. Full review of the update notes which accompanied this release can be found here.
What brings the Aftermath�
Weâre continuing to enjoy everyoneâs progress so far as the new Aftermath chapter begins, following the intense happenings which brought The Azimuth Saga to a close.
There are already exciting discoveries being made, which leads us to echo again following last weekâs Elite Dangerous Livestream #14 a bit congratulations to CMDR Kralone and teammate Nicou, who had a scientific breakthrough regarding Guardian Relics.
We'll spare further details for anyone continuing their own investigations further.
It still blows our minds just how many brave Commanders were present for the final button press on the Proteus Wave. Over 7500 Commanders were waiting in system alone for the weapon to fire. Youâre all incredible.
Hereâs just a very small but mighty sample of some incredible, âon topicâ shots from some talented Commanders.
