Elite Dangerous Overhauls Crime System This December

Frontier Developments is revamping Elite Dangerous' crime system in December and adding a new internet spaceship in October.

Ever felt like the crime system in Elite Dangerous was a bit... meh? Whether you're a law-abiding pilot or a notorious outlaw, Frontier Developments agrees it's been lackluster. But good news: that's changing this December.

The studio has confirmed a major overhaul to the crime system, aiming to make both sides of the law feel more meaningful. No more shrugging off bounties or feeling like piracy is pointless—this update should inject some real consequences and excitement into your criminal (or law enforcement) escapades.

But wait, there's more! Before the crime revamp hits, you'll be able to get your hands on a brand-new internet spaceship in October. That's right—a fresh ride to add to your fleet, just in time for some interstellar adventures.

So whether you're looking to clean up your act or dive deeper into the underworld, December is shaping up to be a big month for Elite Dangerous. And October? Well, that's when you get to test-drive the latest addition to the ship roster.

Frontier Developments hasn't revealed all the details yet, but the promise of a reworked crime system and a new vessel is enough to get any commander's thrusters firing. Stay tuned for more specifics as we get closer to the dates.
