The promised April update dropped this week bringing with it a host of changes and quality of life improvements. Front and center in the update is the new commander experience including the creation of the Pilots Federation District of Systems where only newly created commanders can trade. Once newly created commanders achieve a rank in combat, trade or exploration they're offered a mission that leads them out of the system never to return. The update also brings with it the new advanced docking computer that can undock your ship as well as dock it and the super cruise assist model a sort of cruise control for frame shift drives. Entry level ships will now have two extra class 1 slots to cater for the new equipment and all other ships will gain one extra class 1 slot. You'll also now find an in-game pilot's manual detailing all aspects of the game. You can also now access the training simulation scenarios from within the cockpit meaning no more visits to the main menu for the newer players if they want to brush up on certain aspects of the game. There's a host of UI improvements including some new trade tools to help commanders make better informed decisions when playing the intergalactic commodity market. And there's also the usual raft of bug fixes but it wouldn't be an elite patch if it didn't introduce a few bugs as well. I've linked below to a forum thread that is tracking those bugs. This coming Monday the 29th of April the first interstellar initiative will be launching. This is the replacement to the old community goal system and aims to bring a more curated developer supported multi-week experience to the community goal idea that also has real in-galaxy lasting effects. We're looking forward to hearing more about that one next week. A post on reddit appeared last week that claimed to be from a friend of an insider at Frontier that spelled out what the poster claims was a five-year plan for Frontier and its properties including Elite Dangerous and the 2020 update. The post was quickly deleted from reddit it also appeared on 4chan and has since disappeared from there as well. Read into that what you will. I should preface this now by saying that what I'm about to say could be considered somewhat spoiler territory so if you don't want to know what 2020 could possibly be about stop watching now. Still with me? Okay obviously this story comes with some huge caveats it could well be a massive troll on the community and honestly I didn't report on it last week because of that very thing but Frontier announced this week that their next game is to be Planet Zoo which we're really excited about here by the way and in the leak on reddit not only did it say that the next game from Frontier would be Planet Zoo but it also said that it could possibly be announced this month whilst not confirmation of the validity of the claim it certainly adds an interesting hint of authenticity. So what did the alleged leakers say was coming in 2020? In summary, space legs, base building and anti-thargoid combat of the first person shooter style. Whilst this story is by no means space legs confirmed it is certainly interesting I guess time will tell. And finally I'm very pleased to announce that the official Burpit Squadron on PC only at the moment sadly now has an entry on Inara links are in the description below if you want to sign up head over there and submit a request to join and we'll get you in.
