More than two years after its official release<\/a> back in December 2014, ampoule<\/a> spaceship simulator Elite: Dangerous<\/em> continues to grow and add content. The latest update is called \u201cThe Commanders, tadalafil<\/a> \u201d and it bumps the game\u2019s version number to 2.3 (or 1.8, if you\u2019re not running the \u201cHorizons\u201d expansion). There are plenty of new features in 2.3, including a vastly updated camera system for taking in-game images or movies; a \u201ccommander creator\u201d feature for players to create and customize their avatars; and the ability to join friends on their ships and fly as a single crew.<\/p>\n

But one feature will be showing up as a last-minute addition: the newly discovered TRAPPIST-1 star system<\/a>, complete with its seven exoplanets, will become part of the game\u2019s simulated galaxy.<\/p>\n

NASA broke the news about the discovery only days before the 2.3 update was set to enter semi-open (pay wall) beta testing among the Elite: Dangerous<\/em> player base. Between that announcement and some last-minute bugs, publisher and developer Frontier decided to slip the beta date from February 23 to February\u00a027 to try to add bug fixes and the TRAPPIST-1 system to the game. The bad news is that the newly discovered exoplanets won\u2019t make it into Monday\u2019s beta release; the good news is that TRAPPIST-1 will be in the second beta release, which will come some days or weeks after the initial beta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
