GAME NEWS
Not much by way of exciting news this week. We’ve had hotfix 10.01 drop, which was intended to fix a small number of bugs mostly introduced by update 10. The big question is when we’ll see update 11, with the more substantial updates that will include. No further info on this at the time of writing.
GALACTIC NEWS
The new size 3, 4 and 6 double engineered FSDs from the Colonia Bridge CG have finally been released. However, unfortunately there appears to be a problem with them. As such, we are being advised not to try to apply experimental effects to them at the moment.
WEEKEND EVENT
Most of you will already have heard of the legendary Fuel Rats and their activities in Elite. These guys are one of the most altruistic groups out there, and have to date, pulled off over 120,000 rescues, and are doing more at a rate of about 60 per day right now, that’s about one Commander rescued every 25 minutes. They operate on every platform, making sure that Commanders survive when they forgot to bring a fuel scoop, and get to their destination.
We have a special event for you guys this weekend, we’ve teamed up with the Rats to put together some rescue training. In this event you will learn all about the rats, what they do and how they do it. You can be taken out with a Rat Overseer and see if you’ve got what it takes to earn your tail. All of the relevant details are available here:

And if you can’t make it along this weekend for any reason, or for that matter, if you need fuel. Take a look at their website:
We now have the fuel-rat-training channel available on discord for any questions you might have or anything you want to discuss.
