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.

Amazing game!
I honestly love this game but with this most recent update i cannot honestly say that the dev team honors or frankly even likes their playerbase. we have done nothing but ask for new ships, new content and ship interiors and time and time again they have spit in the face of their consumer. locking new ships beyond paywalls months before they "officially" release to the public, zero ship interiors even after promises they will come in the future and for new content they add a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ siege style gamemode, I am going to end my own life, Don't buy this game
A number of issues have been introduced since the Operations update, and I hope to recommend this again soon. A high-risk sci-fi simulation sandbox. The graphics have longevity. The gameplay has something for everyone, from boots-on-the-ground FPS to galactic eploration. And it is unforgiving. E:D is not for everyone. It takes patience and an appreciation of fine details and a good ear. Its reward: you get to explore the galaxy.
At first I found the game disconnected me a lot but an update to nvidia drivers fixed most of it. Took a long time to get used to flying on mouse and keyboard, but now its not too bad. Things I've noticed as a new player: 1. The tutorials cover the mechanics well but don't go much further 2. Don't come looking for a cinematic story 3. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this universe is HUGE 4. Ground based Halo is fun but stealth is better until you're more upgraded 5. Change the default keybinds for flight to your tastes. In my opinion the defaults arent good. In summary, will most likely play much more. Ratings (Subjective): Graphics: 10/10 (DSP Approves) Gameplay: 8/10 Travel: 5/10 ( Autopilot takes too long ) Flight Combat: 9/10 ( Fun but difficult) Ground Combat: 6/10 (Halo 2.0) Ground Stealth: 8/10 (Actually kinda like MGS if you do Covert Missions) Economic Simulator: ?/10 (Not my thing, heard good ♥♥♥♥ tho) Mining Simulator: ?/10 (Yet to try, seems interesting) Scan go BRRRRRR: 7/10 (Took some getting used to and speed can be an issue) Gooner appeal: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥/10 (go somewhere else bro.....)
Somewhere between Star Trek and Star Wars on a massive scale... If you want to run trade routes with hyper-speed jumps, or explore worlds and life-forms no-one has ever seen, this is endless. You can pilot fighter jets, go into FPS combat, run trade routes/smuggle, or even just profit by mapping star systems. If you are a fan of either of the aforementioned franchises (and can handle a universe without Jedi/Sith), this is a good time.
Un Eve Online pero mas inmersivo, como dicen muchos, si lo juegas solo y si te falta medio cerebro no te va a aburrir lo repetido y monotono que llega a ser
This game has a VERY STEEP learning curve. There are menus it doesnt mention until you need them to scan things, FA off mode that really should automatically enable relative mouse controls, and a BGS system that after 2000 hours I have just begun to understand how to use it to my benefit instead of just randomly yelling a faction's name before roasting another Elite eagle in a Conflict Zone. THAT BEING SAID, I have never been more awestruck at the things I've seen in this game and from this community. Be it deep space pictures, breaking open asteroids, the explosion of a Thargoid Titan, or the massive payouts of wing expansion missions and the Booze cruise there is something for everyone to do in this game. The credit grind has never been this easy to get through, and the engineering changes recently have made it very possible to actually see progression even when you can only play on weekends and have an actual job. Squadrons are a great tool to group with friends, share resources, or find an online community of CMDRS that can help you out if you're new. This game is a SPACE SIM more than any other part. You will have to fly places (sometimes very far away) to shoot up bad guys (or good guys), collect materials, engineer modules one by one, build out your spaceship for what you want piece by piece, and if you are playing in Open deal with Gankers and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BUT also the pilots of the AXI and Fuel Rats. Just like any other game the people are the best and worst part about playing in an open galaxy, but a group of friends in a wing going after Spec ops, raiding settlement, or blowin up bugs never gets old. Solo this game can be a massive undertaking to get to the "end game" as it were where you have ALL the money, materials, and credits you need. I did it, a few friends of mine did too way back when, but I have to recommend playing this with friends. You can do everything in solo play, a private group, or open regardless; but I have to say colonizing systems alone or with a few buddies while shooting the ♥♥♥♥ over discord and catching up really helps not losing you mind going back and forth hauling thousands of tons of commodities. This may be a long comment or recommendations or whatever, but the point is this game is what you make it not only in HOW you play it, but WHO you play it with. I cannot recommend this game enough, but I caution every new commander venturing into the black to have a guy who knows what hes doing to guide you along through your first jump, raid, operation, exploration etc. O7 CMDR, follow the greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack (Bur Pit special).
I have mixed feelings on this one. Personally I really enjoy it. There are a ton of missions you can do. Collect bounties, sell stolen loot, gain reputation with different factions, clone security passes to access buildings. Lots of customization for what job you decide to do. I think the only thing that is really frustrating is trying to sneak onto restricted sites to steal good loot. It's basically impossible. You will get a fine and bounty on your head for trespassing even when there's no one around. Along with that, if you're on a normal base and accidently pull your weapon out, the entire base will agro and you'll die or lose your ship because the defenses are way overpowered even at level 1. Over all, if you want to do random transport jobs, collect bounties, etc. Great game. Getting the supplies to upgrade gear is a whole other story lol
great game if you like to grind. it also needs some time to figure out the controls and if you like the game depends how you treat it. there is no actual goal. so make your own. i personally figured that mining is fun and is a good method for money. there is other things you can do tho.
Al inicio s ehace cuesta arriba pero al darte tiempo para aprender es super bueno y es un pozo de horas de juego
