Frontier have released another huge update for Elite, Power Play. This is adding in a lot of detail which has now superseded what Frontier confirmed had been "place-holder".
Features include a completely updated mission system, which I've tested and is hugely refreshing and open to almost endless possibility! No more missions requiring the endless searching through unidentified signal sources. Also, you can now join a minor faction, which will allow you to be a small part of a huge galaxy-wide power struggle and will open players up to PvP and in game politics, which will be very interesting. Also, there are new ships and another raft of minor bug fixes and feature tweaks.
I think I'll be starting my Elite career from scratch, with a proper commander name and hope to indulge in the smuggling missions, which I've been craving since the game released!!
Frontier amaze me. Six to seven months into the games life and it's expanded so much already. It makes me a little giddy thinking about what the game might be like at the end of this year!
I popped my head over to the Star Citizen reddit and stuffs still happening there, but nothing particularly new yet. I look forward to seeing more about it towards the end of this year, but until then, I don't feel any need to explore it further. I have little doubt Star Citizen will be amazing when it comes out in a couple of years, but what will Elite be like then?
