Elite: Dangerous - Gamma 2.03, 2.04 & 2.05 u.a. mit höherem Kopfgeld

Elite: Dangerous hat am Wochenende vor seiner Veröffentlichung insgesamt drei neue Gamma-Updates erhalten.

Die Weltraum-Simulation Elite: Dangerous erscheint zwar offiziell erst am 16. Dezember 2014, trotzdem dürfen einige Spieler im Rahmen eines Early-Access-Zugangs bereits jetzt in das Universum des Spiels eintauchen. Und Frontier Developments versorgt diese sogenannte Gamma-Version mit regelmäßigen und fast schon täglichen Updates.

Am zweiten Dezember-Wochenende wurden etwa schon die Version 2.03, 2.04 und 2.05 veröffentlicht.

Die drei Pre-Release-Patches haben diverse Neuerungen und Fehlerbehebungen mit sich gebracht. So hat das Entwicklerteam mit dem Gamma-Upadte 2.03 etwa die Auszahlung für erfolgreiche Kopfgeldjagden erhöht, um den Berufszweig des Kopfgeldjägers attraktiver zu machen. Außerdem wurden einige Absturzursachen behoben und Verbesserungen an der Galaxy-Map und am TrackIR vorgenommen.

Mit Patch 2.04 wurde wiederum das Missions-Balancing angepasst. Und das Update 2.05 brachte einige neue Übersetzungen mit sich - die deutsche und die französische Version des Spiels sind jedoch noch nicht komplett übersetzt.

Nachfolgend alle Patchnotes vom Pre-Release-Wochenende:
