A recent community report reveals that Apex shuttles can no longer be used to perform data recovery missions in undermining systems in Elite Dangerous. This change, unannounced by the developers, may be a silent update or a bug affecting gameplay. Players who previously relied on Apex shuttles for efficient data recovery during undermining will need to adjust their strategies or find alternative methods. The lack of official communication leaves commanders uncertain about the permanence of this change as of July 17, 2026.
