Elite: Dangerous’ 1.6 and Engineers 2.1 update have finally arrived… in beta, that is.
Frontier Head of Community Zac Antonaci posted the patch notes to the official forums; clocking in at over 10,000 words, they highlight the patch’s new missions, Engineer content, bases, surface POIs, scenarios, NPC encounters, missions, galaxy map tweaks… it kinda goes on forever. “We’ve mentioned before that this update comes with headline features of Loot and Crafting and missions changes,” Antonaci writes, “but also the fantastic thing about this update is the sheer depth and richness being added with so many changes, tweaks and additions making it into the update.”
Massively OP reader and YouTuber Colin Ford sent us his first-look video of the patch; watch it below!
