Elite Dangerous commanders should expect the Milky Way servers to go offline around 7am UTC for the weekly scheduled maintenance. This downtime typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes and includes updates to star system and station faction data, adjustments to powerplay control systems, and the rollout of new community goals. During this period, login will be unavailable, and players are encouraged to report any extended outages to Frontier Support. These updates are essential to keep the galaxy data accurate and maintain smooth gameplay across the persistent universe.
