  • Discovery, exploration and charting of new systems and the option to trade gathered data.
  • Detailed system maps.
  • New Outposts (small, exposed ‘roadside café’ stations in remote systems).
  • New Ocellus starport.
  • Further upgradeable Life Support modules, Engines, Hyperdrives, Power Distributors, Sensors, Shield Generators and Cargo Racks for all ships.
  • New weapons, including mines and a Cargo Hatch Limpet built for non-lethal piracy.
  • Visibility of other ships in supercruise, and the ability to track pilots through supercruise and hyperspace.
  • In-game GalNet newsfeed, reporting story events from around the galaxy and each system. Gradual ‘wear and tear’ on ships.
