Elite Dangerous Newsletter #212 and Q1 Beta end date

Quote from Edward Lewis

Greetings Commanders,

The Chapter One 3.0 beta will finish on February 9. This week will be your last chance to jump in to your Alliance Chieftain before we take the beta servers down for a while, in preparation for the launch of Chapter One. Keep an eye on our social media channels, the newsletter, and our forums for more information on when Elite Dangerous: Beyond – Chapter One arrives for all Elite Dangerous players.

On February 6, the beta servers will go down shortly to allow us to update to beta 3, which will be as close to the 3.0 release build as possible.

Last weekend of 3.0 beta – special treats

Because there’s only one weekend left on the test servers, we have made a few changes for the beta:

• Firstly we’ve made all Engineer recipes so they require only 1 unit of iron to complete.
• We’ve done the same to Technology Broker blueprints – they will require only 1 unit of iron to complete.
• We have given all Commanders who join the beta, 100 units of iron and 100 units of selenium in order to take advantage of the above, and get playing around with some of the Engineering changes and new Technology Broker modules.
• All ships, weapons and modules are now down to 10% of their normal price. Now’s the chance to play around with the ship of your dreams, even if you can’t afford it in the main Elite Dangerous experience!

We wanted to take a moment to thank every Commander who loaded up the beta during this testing period. The feedback you provided was absolutely invaluable in making Chapter One of Beyond the best Elite Dangerous experience possible.
