Elite: Dangerous Update 1.2.05 - Introduces Pratchett Tribute

Elite: Dangerous Update 1.2.05 - Introduces Pratchett Tribute

This is the first weekly update since Wings launched, and it doesn't bring as many bugfixes as you might expect.

It also brings with it a new station, as tribute to British writer Terry Pratchett whom passed away this past weekend. He was famous for the Discworld series of books.

He is being memorialised with the Pratchett's Disc starport. It is located in Hip 74290, an Independent station ruled by the Ankh Guards, as seen in this screengrab taken by ladycygna on reddit:
