===== Elite Dangerous: Beyond - Chapter One 3.0 =====
**Greetings Commanders,**
The galaxy servers are currently down to allow us to update to 3.0 Elite Dangerous: Beyond - Chapter One.
The downtime is expected to last for approximately 9 hours, although this could potentially go over.
We have posted the full change log below, and a summary of how the features will work in Chapter One, will be available on the forum later today.
**New features for 3.0**
**Crime**
* Crime & Counter Crime system overhaul, including Advance Tactical Response (ATR)
* When the player is destroyed they are not necessarily returned to the last port they docked at, based on a prioritised list of rules

* Players can clean ships of any bounties and fines through an Interstellar Factor contact
* Players can sell hot ships from the shipyard for a markdown
* Access to port services including ship transferring/storage/retrieval/selling are limited if the player docks in a 'wanted' ship (bounties and fines) applicable in that jurisdiction, and the cost is increased where transfer is possible
* Power bounties are issued instead of normal bounties for criminal acts to do with valid Powerplay interactions
* Players can see details on fines and bounties in the wanted ships cockpit, the shipyard and the ship transfer screens
