Elite Dangerous Update 11: Fleet Carriers Changes and New Protect Missions

Elite Dangerous
Elite Dangerous Steam

Elite Dangerous is an open-world space flight simulation game. The developers just released Update 11, which is focused on bug fixes.

Fleet Carriers

This update makes some changes to the Fleet Carriers. Starting with the addition of interiors for players to walk around and enjoy. The main areas of these carriers include a concourse, hangar lobby, command deck, and seating area. Those are the main interior parts of the carrier. Players can also add areas such as bars, service desks, a supplies store, and a shipyard access point to improve the aesthetics of the carrier.

New Missions

The developers have added new “Protect” missions. The objective of these missions is for players to defend against criminals attacking delivery routes. These missions are harder than normal ones, but the rewards make it worth the time and effort. Make sure you have teammates to make the mission easier because some parts have time limits.
