Elite Dangerous players should expect the Milky Way servers to go offline around 7am UTC for the routine weekly maintenance. This downtime usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes and updates key persistent galaxy data such as star system minor factions, station control, commodities, services, powerplay status, and new community goals. The maintenance ensures the galaxy remains dynamic and current for all commanders exploring the universe. If servers remain inaccessible beyond 8am UTC, players are advised to contact Frontier Support for assistance.
