Frontier talks up the forthcoming Powerplay patch in this week’s Elite: Dangerous newsletter. The titular patch feature “makes the galaxy a hotbed of activity,” as players choose power blocs to back in “an epic battle for galactic conquest and control,” Frontier says.
Aside from that, the patch will turn mining into a money-making proposition via dedicated missions, variable density extraction sites, new minerals, and more. Drones are being added, too, which will enable players to mine more efficiently as well as collect cargo and trade fuel with wingmates.
Those are just a few of the things coming your way in Powerplay, so be sure to read the full newsletter for more info.
