Check out the first news about Elite: Dangerous Beyond Chapter 3, shared during the Frontier Meet in Cologne at the gamescom event.

• Missiles and torpedoes C3, Multicannon Turret C3
• New weapons sizes at Tech Brokers including Plasma, Gauss and Shock Cannon C1
• New planetary missions for Wings
• New stories on the surface.
• Engineers on Colonia.
• New Ship: Crusader resembling the Chieftain/Challenger but with an ship launched fighter bay. It seems that the Crusader is a great mix of Chieftain and Challenger as he got back its Class 3 “Hardpoint 7”, potentially bringing the hardpoints set to: 2 C3, 3 C2, 2 C1

• Guardian fighters, and ships and places to discover/interact with in space, Guardians beacons! To acquire a Hybrid fighter blueprint you will need to investigate new Guardian beacons which will point you in the direction of the sites to investigate.
• New Guardians technologies including fighters we can play with. These ships are light, fast and agile with strong shields to let them dart into the fray. The trade-off, as with other smaller fighters, is that they have weaker hulls.
  • Trident (Plasma Autocannon),
  • Lance (Gauss Focus Cannon),
  • Javelin (Shard launcher)

Some pictures captured via a phone. Nothing official yet, we are eager to get our hands on official statements, details and pictures from Frontier.
