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.

At first I adored this game, the freedom to travel around and to take part in whatever I wanted. Even went so far as to buy a HOTAS just for playing. But over time the shine wore off. The grinds became longer, like I was doing more for less. The most useful things in the game require a lot of grinding to get them in the first place, and in the case of the fleet carrier, even more grinding to keep it. It starts to feel less like a game you can have fun in and more like a second job to get to the fun parts. Most recently the game has been filled with bugs, I've came across several myself and it's just not fun anymore. Some of these bugs have caused me to have to get rid of my carrier and stopped progression in some aspects of the game completely.
Game has so much technical debt and it gets worse with each update. I can't imagine how much spaghetti code lies withing, but, even when the game works the devs apparently went to the school of AI should always be stronger than the player. Needless to say the newest Operations update adds nothing to the game but increases loading times.
Самый ужасный космический симулятор, который я играл. -Ужасно много гринда и затягивания прогрессии -Ужасные механики управления кораблем -Отсутствия адекватного бортового компьютера( даже в реальной жизни есть автопилоты и поиск в гугле, в этом симуляторе вы вроде как в космической эре но с технологиями каменного века) Дошло до того, что пользователи вынуждены обращаться к сторонним ресурсам, таким как Inara, чтобы хоть что-то узнать — настоящий каменный век, а не космическая эра. Удивительно, как люди тратят здесь сотни часов, называя этот «продукт» идеалом. Похоже, это предел для тех, кто привык страдать и называть это «хардкором». Если хотите нормальный космосим, где можно строить свою империю или просто наслаждаться исследованием без «игры в нескольких окнах» — проходите мимо. X4: Foundations или No Man's Sky в десятки раз лучше, современнее и, главное, интереснее.
This game used to be one of my favorite games, then the devs kept nerfing payouts and focusing on aspects of the game that just weren't fun. This game had so much potential.
Solo añadan criatura en los planetas, posibilidad mas variada para mejorar la nave y poder ver y disfrutar el interior de la nave que mas parece solo una silla de ruedas en vez de una nave o lo hago yo hdpta crearé mi propio juego replica de éste ya que no pueden hacerlo estos inut1les.
Game is falsifly advertised as steam family share compatible, it's not

Owned the game long before Frontier account was required, getting it to link with my steam account required 15 different activation emails to launch a game I have the CD-Key for and have owned for over 10 years. This is rockstar level of retardation
I started of playing thinking this is a pretty good game. But geez. Grind And Grind and GRIND,. If you're starting out, Ignore the Threat levels. They mean nothing. I've gone 6 and met nothing. I've gone 2 and been ambushed by 5 ships and almost instantly killed. So if you think you can take a few easier a missions to get into the game, you're wrong. Of course to get past this it to "engineer". But to do that you need to acquire a myriad of items which involves you getting past these unbalanced missions PLUS the Grind and Grind and Grind. A Mile Wide and an Inch Deep. I'm glad I bought this on special for only £9. Because I'd feel cheated if it was more than that.
