GAME NEWS
Great news, we finally have a confirmed date for Update 11, and it’s actually sooner than I expected - 8th March, so next week. This update will introduce fleet carrier interiors for Odyssey CMDRs and a bunch of additional functionality for fleet carriers as a result. Info on the release date is here:
And for anyone who wants a recap of what the carrier interiors are going to look like here’s a link to the relevant part of the Xmas stream where they previewed them.
GALACTIC NEWS
The Colonia Bridge, Phase 4, Week 3 is now in progress. This is a community goal to add a Bar Tender, Material Trader, and Missions board to a set of the Colonia Bridge stations. It’s also worth noting that the top 75% of contributors will also receive some free cosmetics in the form of white engine trails. Details here:

FACTION NEWS
NEWP has once again pulled off a successful expansion. This time we are beginning operations in the Lalande 27055 system, and are fighting to secure out foothold in the system.
Thanks to the incredible organisational skills of Faction Command, and the relentless energy and resolve of the Faction Ops (BGS) team we now have a presence in 34 star systems, and have control of 25 of them. A truly spectacular achievement. If you’d like to get involved in the tactical layer of Elite, consider heading down to the Faction Chat channel on discord to get involved in something bigger.
Also, a special congratulations to the Top Faction Contributors for February.
EVENTS
The events calendar for March will be up soon. The primary event running right now is the ISO Terrion Expedition. Details are in the events channel on discord if you’d like to take part.
