The updated Aurora sneak peek doesn't look particularly different from the current model which is great. The only thing I could spot here was the addition of door panels inside and outside the ship though there's obviously more we can't see from this pic. I'm happy with that, I was worried they upsized it, added a larger interior or did something similarly ridiculous.
It's also getting some new audio and visual effects! I can't wait.

Freaking finally! I was afraid we'd never get this back. I love it.
Following positive feedback on the faction competition missions (...)
Huh, most of my experience (and opinions of others I've seen) said they were broken and extremely boring due to lack of variety, simple tasks and level design. Looks like plenty of people felt differently.
The team also completed a major loot refresh, with the devs updating the UGF and Distribution Centers to give greater future control and bring them up to par with the current design.
Well, I haven't seen any worthwhile loot in UGFs since the last patch (I think?) so I'm curious if that's something we'll see in the future or if something got borked and the work just isn't present in game.
Some existing missions will move over to the Nyx system with new narrative elements, while some older content will return, including Missing Person, Blackbox Recovery, and Retrieve Cargo.
Nice to see some of the old content returning.
