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.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey este jocul care Starfield ar fi vrut să fie... Elite Dangerous: Odyssey nu-l văd ca o expansiune, ci ca un joc complet: spațiu + sol într-un singur pachet coerent. Am venit în el direct din Starfield, joc care mi-a plăcut, dar în comparație cu Odyssey… nu mai există comparație. EDO e jocul pe care Starfield ar fi vrut să fie. Universul e real, nu instanțe. Planetele sunt planete, nu decoruri reciclate. Navele au greutate, personalitate și fizică serioasă. Tranziția navă–sol e continuă, fără teleportări și fără încărcări mascate. Starfield îți oferă o poveste scrisă pentru tine. Elite Dangerous: Odyssey îți dă o galaxie întreagă în care tu îți scrii propria poveste. Partea on‑foot nu e perfectă, dar e surprinzător de solidă: baze cu sisteme reale, securitate, energie, camere, patrule, stealth logic, arme cu recul și AI care chiar te poate omorî. Misiunile nu sunt scriptate, sunt simulate, și fiecare se joacă altfel. Și da, începutul e brutal. Jocul te aruncă în galaxie exact ♥♥♥ Elden Ring te aruncă în lume: frumos, imens și complet indiferent la existența ta. Nu te ține de mână, nu-ți explică nimic. Ești mic, pierdut și neajutorat — și fix asta face fiecare progres să fie satisfăcător. Are hibe tehnice, FPS variabil și câte un bug, dar nimic care să strice experiența. Verdict: Un joc unitar, viu, autentic. Un univers în care chiar trăiești, nu doar vizitezi decoruri. Scor personal: 9/10. o7 I don’t treat Elite Dangerous: Odyssey as an expansion. For me, it’s a complete game: space + on‑foot gameplay in one unified experience. I came into it straight from Starfield — a game I enjoyed — but compared to Odyssey, there’s simply no competition. EDO is the game Starfield wanted to be. The universe is real, not instanced. Planets are actual planets, not recycled tiles. Ships have weight, personality, and proper physics. The transition from ship to ground is seamless, with no teleporting and no hidden loading tricks. Starfield gives you a story that’s already written. Elite Dangerous: Odyssey gives you a whole galaxy where you write your own. The on‑foot gameplay isn’t perfect, but it’s surprisingly solid: bases with real systems, security, power grids, cameras, patrols, logical stealth, weapons with recoil, and AI that can actually kill you. Missions aren’t scripted set pieces — they’re simulated scenarios that play out differently every time. And yes, the beginning is brutal. The game throws you into the galaxy the same way Elden Ring throws you into Limgrave: beautiful, massive, and completely indifferent to your existence. No hand‑holding, no markers, no guidance. You’re small, lost, and helpless — and that’s exactly why every bit of progress feels earned. It has technical issues, FPS dips, and the occasional bug, but nothing that ruins the experience. Verdict: A unified, coherent, living game. A universe you live in, not a collection of pretty rooms. Personal score: 9/10. o7
can fly ship life good.
Gemiye bindim 2 tur attım oyunu öğrenmeye çalışıyorum,ceza yemişim.A*ına koduklarım ben hangi tuş ne işe yarıyor diye bakıyorum bunlar ceza kesmiş.
GOAT of Sci-fi games.
One of those games where I just have a sudden urge to play a space sim once every year, this is that space sim. If you're planning on playing VR, desensitize yourself with large pictures of stars, trust me you'll regret it if you don't.
Back years and years ago I had put approximately 4500 hours into the PS4 release. Recently found my way back to playing on PC, starting from scratch and have fallen in love with the game again.
There is A LOT to learn. As someone pointed out, setting up keybinds is a minigame in itself. You should consider what you want to do, then get the best ship (engineered) to do it. Do you want combat, mining, trading, hauling passengers, exploring or exobiology?
I simply love this game, and keep coming back to it. I really like there are so many different interests to pursue, like space exploration, combat, bounty hunting, building your own station, buying/selling commodities, mining, etc. Highly recommend it.
It's really fun. I enjoy the combat a lot though it can be a bit of a grind
