The Elite:
Dangerous forums announce the official release of Elite: Dangerous,
as version 1.00 of Frontier Developments' space combat sequel is now available.
The game's official website is
non-responsive at the moment, but that forum post has some details:
A 30 year legacy, and more than 2 years of development, and we're thrilled to announce that Elite: Dangerous 1.00 is out now, available for download and play.
Thanks to everyone who played this far - see you in space Commanders.
Ed (and the whole of the Elite: Dangerous development team)

Change log for those updating from Gamma:
- Prevent missions softlocks when switching servers from A->B->A without disconnecting from A
- Check if we should use the neutron star's version of the bolometric luminosity first to prevent soft lock
- Avoid crash in creating a location object when it hits a rare window
- Sky box view distance altered to reduce memory usage in highly populated regions
Sorry to be posting too much, but the Vulture is awesome. It's a Viper on CRACK. Same power issues though, so beware. I'm still trying to work out a scheme where I can kill warrant scan.
Edit:
And, from what I've found out... the new shield boosters are meant for trading ships that have lowered their main shield class for extra cargo space. They are different from shield cells...they add an extra percentage to your shield strength. Flat out. Nothing you need to mess with once it's installed.
I tried putting one on my Vulture, and the power requirement went so far above my class A power plant I laughed out loud. So...if you're in a fighter, you probably can't use them. A multi-role ship, however, probably can. It's nice if you buy a part that doesn't work, you can trade it back with no money loss.
