Frontier has posted a change log for Elite: Dangerous 1.2, which is available for download today. The “Wings” update adds multiplayer group functionality enabling up to four pilots to fly, fight, and trade together. The patch also boasts two new ships, the Vulture and the Fer-de-Lance, as well as a comms interface overhaul and a laundry list of stability fixes and tweaks.
