About
Discover the next chapter of the legendary Elite saga. Elite Dangerous is the definitive massively multiplayer space epic, bringing gaming’s original 1984 open world adventure to the modern generation with a seamless, connected galaxy, a player‑shaped evolving narrative, and the entire Milky Way recreated at full galactic scale.
Against this vast backdrop, take to the stars in your own starship and do whatever it takes to survive in an ever-changing futuristic galactic sandbox. Acquire wealth and power, develop your skills and knowledge, and earn the right to stand tall among the ranks of the iconic Elite.
In an age of galactic superpowers and interstellar war, your story influences the connected experience and handcrafted evolving narrative. From discovering new worlds, to exhilarating space combat and a fully-realised economy for trade, the galaxy is waiting.

The 400-billion star systems of the Milky Way form the vast and dynamic stage for Elite Dangerous' open-ended gameplay. Constructed using real astronomical data, the stars, planets, moons, asteroid belts, and black holes of our galaxy are rendered at true galactic scale. Chart a course through star systems never before visited by other Commanders and explore the surface of strange and unfamiliar worlds with a Surface Recon Vehicle.

Over 35 distinct spacecraft are ready for you to command, from lightweight exploration vessels to gigantic behemoths ready for battle. Build a diverse collection of ships and outfit them to match your playstyle. Customise every component, weapon and optional module to enhance and alter your ships’ capabilities.

Hunt, explore, fight, mine, smuggle and trade across the galaxy. Forge your path solo or with up to three friends in a Wing. Join a Squadron full of like-minded Commanders and share the highs and lows of your interstellar adventures together.
With the System Colonisation mechanic, the power to claim and expand your very own star systems is in your hands. Whether creating a thriving new economy, a bustling trade hub, or a new port of operations, the galaxy awaits your vision.

The Elite Dangerous galaxy revolves around players’ actions. In an age of galactic superpowers and interstellar war, every player’s personal story influences the space simulation and handcrafted, evolving narrative.
Co-operate with fellow Commanders in pivotal Community Goal events that can permanently alter the state of the galaxy, earning exclusive rewards and recognition for your contribution in the process.
Align with a galactic superpower and alter the interstellar landscape with Powerplay. Support your power or undermine a rival through a variety of means, from hacking starport advertisements to attacking gigantic Stronghold Carriers. Every contribution matters.

Experience unpredictable encounters with other players in a vast, massively multiplayer space. Experience the connected galaxy alone in Solo mode or with players across the world in Open Play, where every pilot you face could become a trusted ally or your deadliest enemy.

The universe of Elite Dangerous continues to grow and expand with new features and content. Regular major updates provide new opportunities and gameplay for you to discover and change the way you play.

This game suffer of extreme bad Anti Aliasing implementation, forcing you to use super sampling at the maximum, which means that if you'd play it on VR your ♥♥♥♥♥♥, is not just "oh it's not great, but it's playable", no no, it's trash, and I'm very honest I play indie games that has low resolution as art style, but they were made with it in mind, this not the case, this developer has already made millions of dollars with this game, the community has asked for them to fix AA for many many years, they left the game in a negligible state, and continue to push new content only to sell the odyssey dlc and new ships, pure greed, my recommendation is, don't buy, but if you buy, setup a alarm clock for 1:40 hours, if you see that you can't overlook the AA, refurbish before a two hour playtime.
This game is amazing. Visually stunning.
This game forces you to create an account. After trying to do so and it not letting me "sign in", I realized it didn't like my password (it gave no warning). So I created a password that NORAD would find acceptable, and after it accepted it it sent a verification code. After 10 or so minutes it arrived in my email, and I then had to wrestle with the interface to get it to accept the code. After it accepted my code it gave me the "LOGGING IN MESSAGE". Loading. And loading. And loading. I watched videos on Youtube while this game "logged in". After about 15 minutes it gave me a pop up message claiming that I didn't own this game which I had just bought the day before. So I uninstalled and asked Steam for a refund. F**k this game, and f**k this game company.

Space, Good.
игра хорошая, но я столкнулся с проблемой того что у меня происходят вылеты из-за того что игре не нравится моя WiFi сеть, и как я понял это касается всех игроков из России, VPN конечно помогает, но не на долго, что-то мне подсказывает что это проблема именно в самой игре, так как официально игра в Россие не доступна. Вообщем не очень доволен я, но игра приятная, вернусь обязательно когда придумаю способ побарость свою проблему. Если кто-то сталкивался с такой проблемой, расскажите как с ней справились

Ya tengo ciertas horas echadas a este juego así que creo que puedo comentar de forma imparcial. Por algún motivo los developers han decidido que la mejor adición para un juego de exploración espacial es añadir un modo de juego FPS con grindeo de por medio para "generar engagement". No se que se les ha pasado por la cabeza pero ese no es el paso ni recomendaría el juego en el estado actual a no ser que disfrutes de quemar horas por mecánicas sin sentido o por tiempos de espera arbitrarios para conseguir las partes de tus naves, que es uno si no de los pocos atractivos que tiene el juego. Es una pena, Elite Dangerous podría ser una gran cosa, pero con la ya pequeña comunidad que tiene este juego, los developers parecen centrarse en sacarle los cuartos a las pocas personas que ya quedan, en vez de garantizar una experiencia de juego mas amena y disfrutable; véase en su defecto No Man's Sky, un juego que empezó siendo una patraña y a base de esfuerzo y feedback por parte de la comunidad, cada día se esta convirtiendo el algo mejor. Lo mejor que tiene Elite Dangerous es esa sensación de exploración espacial y inmersión, que no he visto con ningún otro juego de su genero, pero en vez de abrazar esa identidad y pulirla hasta el infinito, se toman decisiones en la que esa esencia, con cada actualización, se esta diluyendo ya sea con contenido que no aporta nada nuevo mas haya que grindear por el nuevo modulo de turno. No podemos ignorar tampoco el elefante en la habitación: Odyssey, un DLC que añade exploración terrestre a los planetas (mas horas de grindeo insufribles) y un repertorio infinito de bugs y falta de optimización, así como unas cuantas naves, que a mi parecer, es lo único redimible del DLC (no sin el obligatorio power creep de las mismas). Recomendaría este juego en otra fecha; sin dudarlo. Recomendaría este juego en su situación actual: jugad No Man's Sky.
Silently, it's creeping up behind SC as the stable competitor that is actually playable. Recent updates show real promise, ship interiors, more fleshed out on-foot gameplay. Onward
