hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous update 12 will be with us towards
the end of may as announced on frameshift live by the community managers and the designers
as well from elite dangerous but what's going to be included well they did give
us some important notes as for some of the items that are going to be included in update 12. now
here's the big thing about it we haven't got the patch notes yet and neither did they say exactly
when it was going to drop they said towards the end of the month hey but as we know all these
things can be subject to change so until the patch notes turn out i'm not going to get too excited
however what there is to be excited about about what they're having included inside it so without
the patch notes what's going to be involved i made some hasty notes when i was watching the live
stream myself and if you haven't seen the live stream i'd encourage you to get yourself over and
watch a replay because it was quite good this week in the form of actually having some information
so there's going to be some quality of service updates and some quality of life updates so
quality of service optimization tuning patch fixes and they did mention that there's about 200 fixes
being applied with this particular update with update 12.
on foot fleet carrier experience is going to get a little bit of love which is great because you're
going to be able to access the on foot menu wheel when walking around the fleet carrier in addition
to that as well you're also going to be able to interact with that bartender while seated at the
bar as opposed to having to get up off your bar stool approach the bartender and then interact so
then you can be able to sort of like interact with the bartender menu for bartering trading and that
sort of stuff it seems like a little thing this as well but what was the point of sitting down
if you can interact with the bartender at the bar throughout the chairs there that's exactly what
you want so quite looking forward to that another thing as well they mentioned was the incarceration
ships the prison ships the ships you get sort tend to when you're a naughty commander well
they're going to have the inclusion of shipyards on these ships as well so instead of using the
apex taxi which could be a nice welcome break when you think i've just been shot again and as you all
know on my streams i am the grenade magnet having a nice relaxing apex home you can summon your ship
to the shipyard and then fly back wherever you want this could expedite the whole process of
getting back into battle if you can bring a ship to you with a better increased jump range as
opposed to having to reset the apex every hundred light years so that's something worthwhile i think
now also a new mission variant and it's a variant of the protect the cargo mission that we had in a
recent update that came out you know this mission you you pick it up at a station and it says hey
protect this canister protect this cargo and you drop there and you're on the side of the goodies
right on the protagonists uh so you have this box you have to protect from wave upon wave
of assailants that come towards you only about between four and five waves of assailants
well they've kind of flipped this now the cargo is gonna be owned by an illegal faction so you're
gonna be a very naughty commander and you're gonna be protecting that against the rozers against the
plot against the old bill omnipole okay so they've got themselves a little ship as well
and that was briefly highlighted um on the stream and it was a vulture and it had nice flashing uh
red and blue lights and it had search lights and it did look fantastic as it dropped down
and dropped off some of the fuzz that we're going to come and try and reclaim that
particular cargo off you now again it's going to be three to five waves of determined individuals
out to recapture this cargo and take it off you as you are defending it's a criminal faction
as to whether or not you're gonna gain notoriety for this we're gonna have to wait and see when we
get there the mission and when we start playing it so a vulture drop ship that's going to be new
for the fuzz with all blue and red flashing lights the cargo is being classed as illegal and omnipot
will try and capture the cargo off you so that was good stuff as well other items well black markets
black markets are now gonna be made a little bit more lucrative which i've always wondered why they
hadn't been made more lucrative in the past so you go out and you get something a little bit naughty
and you try selling at the black market and you get like some weak price well they've said they're
now going to tweak that weak price and make it less weak and more in line with what you would get
if you had the items legally personally i think that should be like say i do a 10 difference 10
less because you know you got to try and shift this sort of stuff you want to turn up there with
your camel your camel skin coat um your camel hair coat and say hey do you want to buy some
resonating separators chief and they say yeah no problem we'll normally only pay a hundred credits
for this but i'm going to give you 90. that's worthwhile as opposed to the week limits we've
had in the past so in short quite a few items fixes and optimizations they didn't elaborate
on what they were going to be other than the fact there was going to be about anything up to
100 or 200 fixes involved in regards to fixes and optimizations because you know it's running better
but it's not running like it should we've got the vulture drop ship with the blue and red flashing
lights we got the black markets we've got the new mission variant which is going to be protect
an illegal bit of cargo we've also got the ability for um walking around the carrier to use the menu
wheel and also talking to bartenders and let's not forget the incarceration ships
also have the shipyards so i'm eagerly looking forward to going through the patch notes with
a fine tooth comb and i hope be perfectly honest with you it's a good update because
it's a little bit of anticipation for this one so if you haven't seen that live stream i would
encourage you to go and have a look at it i'll put a link in the description as well check back for
more videos in the series i've been ricardo thanks very much for watching and i'll see you soon
