New challenge scenarios are also added such as four new Incursion scenarios, Driver challenge, Ship launched fighter challenge and Speed docking.
Megaships are also introduced isn the update and these are Flight Operations, Tanker, Cargo, Asteroid Miner, Prison Ship, Passenger and Science Vessel. There are also several stability fixes such as the correcting the crash in the inertial camera simulation when a player is in CQC. The error is also fixed in outfitting when a player replaces the power distributor very fast.
The deadlock that occurs if the galaxy map is opened and closed repeatedly is now fixed and the crashing of ship while players are trying to generate ambient heat inside station is now addressed. The crashing in physics when the data for a wheel is not valid is now addressed.
Frontier also suggests players that when playing Elite Dangerous Horizons, they should not parse empty string when they are in the Commander Interaction History because it will cause the JSON parser to assert. A Commander creator UI is also added as well as a Holo-Me option to cockpit Status Panel.
