With The Engineers, the developers of the space game Elite: Dangerous are working on the second part of the Horizons expansion.
After it already had to be postponed once, it is now confirmed when this update will at least go into beta. It will be on May 8. This expansion will introduce the mysterious Engineers. In addition, new loot and crafting will be added to the game. The mysterious Engineers are directly connected to crafting. Because through them, it will be possible for you to apply upgrades to any module of your ship and thereby improve it gradually. Additionally, the Engineers will provide you with new, experimental weapons.
The Secret of the Engineers
The Engineers are experts in various fields, which means you won’t get everything from one. You always have to look for the right Engineer to improve the system of your ship that needs to be enhanced. However, since they lead very reclusive lives and work secretly for the military and other organizations, it is not easy to contact them. To do this, you first need to complete missions or get already known Engineers to introduce you to others. Moreover, it is necessary to gain the trust of the Engineers so that they reveal more of their secrets to you.
Patch 1.6 is Coming
However, those who do not own the Horizons expansion can also look forward to changes. Because Elite Dangerous 1.6 brings a number of new features. This includes a completely revised mission system.
Version 1.6 is close to closed beta and will also be released on May 8. Soon, the developers want to talk in more detail about The Engineers and Patch 1.6, as well as present some details from it. This includes the mentioned experimental weapons. The Engineers represents the second part of the multi-part Horizons update for Elite: Dangerous after Planetary Landings.
