Time to fuel scoop your way across the stars.
Elite: Dangerous has entered the pre-release Gamma 1.0 stage with a newly released update. Start up the Elite: Dangerous launcher and log in to start downloading the latest version.
By most accounts there’s a high chance that another data wipe will occur prior to the “final” release on 16 December, but that still gives pilots plenty of time to mess around in the much expanded universe. Yes, one of the Gamma changes is the removal of the ‘Beta bubble.’ The playable areas are much, much bigger now.
There are also two more playable ships now (the Orca and Python,) plus freebie Eagle MKII’s for those who purchased a qualifying beta package.
Here’s the Elite: Dangerous Gamma 1.0 change log. For once it’s not five pages of text.
