Elite Dangerous Fleet Carrier Patch 2 went live earlier today. The update is mostly focused on bug fixes, however, some small features were introduced. From now on, you can use the keyword "-" for your ship IDs. Galactic average prices for commodities are now updated, also setting a price for commodities in the market screen is much faster. Retreat and Expansion conflicts are now resolved differently. These are the only small changes made by the update, and the rest are all bug fixes. You can read about them in the patch notes below.
