The latest Witchspace News video updates players on Elite Dangerous, highlighting the doubling of module rewards for the current Community Goal and the rediscovery of the rare Scriveners Clan Dredger vessel. Additionally, new tools like the Trailblazers Construction Tracker and updates to Inara enhance gameplay, while ongoing community engagement continues to shape the game’s development.
In the latest edition of Witchspace News, CMDR Buur provides updates on the game Elite Dangerous, including significant changes from Frontier Developments (FDEV) and recent discoveries in the game universe. One of the key highlights is the doubling of module rewards for the current Community Goal (CG), which has generated excitement among players. Additionally, a long-lost Dredger vessel, the Scriveners Clan Dredger, has been rediscovered in deep space, showcasing the game’s rich narrative and the vastness of its universe.
The video also introduces a new tool from the French website Élite Dangereuse, the Trailblazers Construction Tracker. This tool enhances gameplay by automatically generating a shopping list of required commodities for planetary or orbital construction projects, making it easier for players to manage their construction contributions. Inara, another community tool, has received updates that enhance powerplay information and display construction requirements for ongoing projects, further aiding players in their endeavors.
The rediscovery of the Scriveners Clan Dredger is a noteworthy event, as Dredger Class Megaships are rare and typically operated by isolationist clans. The video recounts the history of the Dredger and its connection to the Hesperus Megaship, which had previously been stripped of valuable resources. The narrative illustrates the game’s long-term storytelling and how players can encounter remnants of past events while exploring the galaxy.
The ongoing Community Goal related to bounty hunting is progressing well, currently sitting at tier 5 out of 7. FDEV has responded to community feedback by adding additional rewards, including an A-Rated pre-engineered Kill Warrant Scanner and paint jobs for ships. Players have until the end of the CG to participate and secure these rewards, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in shaping the game.
Lastly, the video touches on various in-game updates, including a server-side patch to address commodity market issues and the introduction of seasonal items in the ARX store, such as an Easter-themed bobblehead. CMDR Buur also mentions the upcoming Pit Con 2025 event, where a special live Witchspace News will be broadcast. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to engage and share their experiences, reinforcing the community spirit that surrounds Elite Dangerous.
