State of play: tell us what's new in Elite Dangerous!

For me the best thing that happen recently is the rebalance of engineering. I believe that most of player find frustrating spend tens of hours to find and collect material just to make your sheep boost a little fast or jump a little longer. And now the need of less materials and make them more abundant is a key point to encourage a lot of players to keep upgrading them ships and suits, I had my mains ship and suits on standby when the subject is upgrading.

My suit and ships could be a lot better before but I never considered spent a lot of more time finding material instead of explore the galaxy or hunt pirates a good deal. But now I'm excited to upgrade again my ships and suits because a spent much less times and with the rebalance I already had a enough material to upgrade a lot of things.

Beside of that, I love to see the game receiving brand new ships and see the unfolding of the Thargoid War .

The latest Titan Thor has fallen, leaving only two remaining. There have been attempted assassinations in Federal territory, with an explosion shaking Nanomam during a failed assassination attempt. The attackers claim it was a warning, but the truth remains uncertain. Even Emperor Arissa is not safe.

With the release of the Type 8 Update, We review Update 18 in its entirety, and what it means for the future of Elite: Dangerous

I recently jumped back in to Elite Dangerous after taking a break for a couple of years and the first thing I noticed is how they have made it easier to increase your jump distance. I'm no expert in Elite Dangerous but I've grinded a couple hundred million credits in the past. I never bothered with engineering my FSD to increase the jump range because it was such a long grind to get the materials needed. When I came back to Elite Dangerous I decided to make it my goal to at least partially upgrade my FSD so I looked online for some guides when I came across some posts talking about material traders and how you can trade up or down different materials. I had my FSD upgraded to level 3 in a couple hours. o7

The Super Cruise Overcharge FSD! , a game changer for Explorers like myself , the ability to travel thousands of light seconds at the expense of heat / fuel drain ensures I can map and scan a system in mere minutes , New ships python mk II and type 8 have been built to naturally support the SCO so thermal buildup is reduced.
Its overall a must need upgrade as it improves on all stock FSD's specs including range
