Faulcon DeLacy has released in early access the first major rework of its classic Anaconda multi-role ship in 456 years. The Anaconda Mk II may be best suited to carrying loads of up to 750 cargo-units over long distances, but it is also highly competent in combat, as an explorer and as a mining vessel. The ship comes in Standard, Stellar and Galactic editions, for 19,020, 38,000 and 69,000 ARX respectively. There are also "internal" cosmetic kits for the Mk II's large verandah at the top of the boarding ramp.Plus, Brewer Corporation is placing the Jump Satellites that will allow easier access to Rackham's Peak in HIP 58832 (date to be confirmed).Galnet News Digest is a podcast about the game Elite Dangerous.

A major shake-up is being planned for law enforcement in the coming months, with a stronger focus on evidence, a streamlined legal process and a better focus on persistent offenders, while being more lenient on accidental crime. Even systems run by criminals will have their own police forces, and the Pilots' Federation is planning a parallel initiative to counter crimes committed against Commanders by Commanders. The current plan is that these changes to the legal system will be implemented in December this year.

The Anaconda Mk II will have a Size 8 Frame Shift Drive, can be fitted with Mk II Ablative Armour and the Mining Volley Repeater and can carry up to 750 tonnes of cargo, giving the ship huge flexibility. And the Pilots' Federation has announced that ten existing ships will be given free upgrades before the end of the month.

Three pirate leaders are still at large following the mass prison breakout in the Redonesses system at the start of the month. Authorities consider these escapers dangerous, and say they should not be approached. In other news, with this week's Brewer Corporation initiative ending early, we ask if those who missed out on the Frame Shift Drive reward can get the same drives another way.

Two weeks after the prison ship EVE-597 was hijacked, the prisoners have finally made their bid for freedom. Commanders have been asked to keep the pirates busy, but not to assist in recapturing the prisoners.

The Pilots' Federation has announced a new crime system, called "Law & Disorder", coming in December, designed to make crime more rewarding, minor offences easier to deal with and to make anarchies viable once again.

A brand new version of the Anaconda is being launched in ARX Early Access next month. We have some advance information and photos and schematics provided by the manufacturer, but some big questions remain unanswered.Galnet News Digest is a podcast about the game Elite Dangerous.
