Overview
Senior Director Piers Jackson said it will improve communication and social gaming in Elite Dangerous, allow people to come together. There will be an area they can call their own with a new UI that enables direct communication. A Vanguard leader can set objectives, setup a group and be rewarded. Such as set a mining goal and receive perks for doing it. Vanguards can be compared to see who are the best. More experienced players can create a Vanguard and help newbies with ED. There will be in-game and offline elements. Each Vanguard will have a bank (repository) to store credits, modules and ships which can be shared with other members. It builds on top of Powerplay and colonisation. There will be player-led factions that also affect the Background simulation.[1]
