Greetings Commanders!
3311 has been filled with new opportunities for players to leave their mark on Elite Dangerous, following the introduction of Trailblazers at the start of the year, and the launch of the year’s first brand-new ship, the Gutamaya Corsair. In early August, our second major update of the year, Vanguards, will launch, offering new Squadron functionality, a new Squadron Carrier and more. You can find out more about Vanguards by watching June’s Frontier Unlocked.
Alongside the launch of the Panther Clipper Mk II on 22nd July 2025, we will also be re-classifying our ARX pricing structure for ships in order to accommodate a wider range, such as the Panther Clipper Mk II.
New ships will continue to launch in ARX Early Access, before arriving for in-game credits at a later date. You can find the full details in the graphic below.

We have plenty of exciting updates to share later this year, including two additional new ships and a brand-new feature. We’ll have more to share on these in the coming months.
