== Features ==<br />
*'''New "In Ship" Starter Experience'''<br />

***Basic flight controls and scanning.<br />
***Supercruise and navigation.<br />
***A combat exercise around a [[Megaship]].<br />
***Completing a [[hyperspace]] jump and docking at a [[Starport]].<br />
**These new training missions feature VO across all languages supported by ''Elite Dangerous''.<br />
**Veteran Commanders can experience the new training missions at any time by accessing the training section of the right [[HUD]] panel.<br />
<br />
*'''Improved Livery System and Store'''<br />
**Options to preview cosmetic items before purchase are expanded to include multiple camera angles. Items can also be previewed for ships which the player does not currently own.<br />
**Players can purchase individual cosmetic items from bundles without needing to purchase the entire bundle.<br />
**Ship Livery can be changed from the game's main menu at any time without the need to be docked at a station with Outfitting and Livery services.<br />
**Purchasing [[Livery]] and [[Holo-Me]] items is now done through the game itself, rather than having to access an external website.<ref name="Notes" /><br />
<br />
*'''ARX Currency'''<br />
**Frontier Points, previously used by Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players to purchase cosmetics in the Frontier Store, are rebranded as [[ARX]], and expanded to include PC players, unifying the cosmetic system across all platforms. ARX can be redeemed on all [[Livery]] and Commander Customisation items, and can either be purchased outside the game, or earned in-game at a rate of up to 400 ARX per week.<ref name="Conversion">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/arx-and-frontier-points-conversion.521520/ Frontier Forum: ARX and Frontier Points Conversion]</ref><br />
