Elite Dangerous Patch 1.56 Notes
- Increased module and bookmark storage.
- Commanders can now enjoy an increase in module and bookmark storage
- Limit of 200 each.
- The increase limit only applies for personal bookmarks. The Squadron bookmark limit has not been changed.
- An issue has been fixed with how damage is applied to Thargoids in order to fix Thargoid Hearts appearing to become invincible.
- Fancy a bit more info on this? Damage was being applied to the local space of the Thargoid, but each client was rotating the Thargoid locally (like, each player’s personal session of the game), so it would have hearts in different places. Amazing really!
- Previously Player A could shoot thargoid heart but Player B (authority) would register that it didn’t hit the heart and thus apply no damage.
Additional Updates:
- A fix has been implemented for an incorrectly rotated tunnel section within an installation.
- A fix has been implemented for a tower clipping into buildings at Horizons bases.
- Module UI now updates to accurately show when a heatsink has been re-armed, along with cockpit UI.
- A fix has been implemented for the data link reticule, which sometimes appeared to be the incorrect colour when players targeted a scannable asset in analysis mode.
- Data link and composition scanner reticules are now distinguishable from each other in analysis mode – the composition scanner reticule has been flipped to display vertically.
- A fix has been implemented for the SRV not being able to fire after ammo synthesis.
- When hiding the UI in the livery preview, the name of the equipped paintjob will no longer be hidden as well.

Powerplay:
- The process where control of a starsystem is lost by revolt now correctly accounts for income already provided to competing control systems.
- Income values have been updated for many control systems so they’re the sum of their own income PLUS all the systems they currently exploit (note: this will need a table of powers, starsystems and CC numbers for the forums with plenty of notice for players to react).
