Greetings Commanders. Update 16 arrives later today! Servers are set to return from 16:00 BST with the deployment download ready for you. -- [b]Headline Notes:​[/b] [list] [*] Added to [i]We appreciate the "air of mystery" in comments like this can be a frustration to many of you sometimes, however we do hope that an additional many of you will understand that mystery elements are what can truly make Elite Dangerous an intriguing place to be, especially with evolving narrative elements[/i] [*] New passenger evacuation missions have been added: Wealthy passengers will now be requesting expedited evacuation from locations affected by the presence of the Thargoids for additional credits (if you can appease their requirements and demands). [*] As of this Thursday's maintenance 'tick' (August 3) the Thargoids will retreat from any system when their hold on that system is defeated. Previously this would only occur for Invasion systems.

You can now find their adverts in most markets and their new megaship, The Legacy, which can be found in Artemis near Freeholm. Brookes Galactic Tours has also established a new mini-series of tourist beacons to a handful of fantastic locations, the first of this series begins at the beacon at Freeholm. We hope you enjoy exploring and will take a moment to pause and enjoy the wonder that Mike helped bring to the universe of Elite. --- Please find full information on what's included in Update 16, along with notable issue fixes, over at the following article: [url=https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-0-16-0]https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-0-16-0[/url] --- o7 Commanders.
