Elite Dangerous

Elite Dangerous is a multiplayer space game that continues the famous series. The player controls the ship and decides what to do: trade, exploration, resource extraction or battles. The scale is impressive: the galaxy is recreated using real data, and the distances here are real. Flight requires an understanding of systems: navigation, fuel, docking and skin all affect the route. Over time, a more serious ship appears, and with it new opportunities. In addition to the single part, there is interaction with other players, as well as the activities of factions that affect the situation in the systems. It’s worth mentioning separately about docking and working with the ship: these are separate procedures that require accuracy, and you have to master them. In addition to trade and battles, there is exploration of distant systems where valuable finds are located. Engineering problems are solved through improving modules, and this affects range and survivability. Factions wage their own campaigns, and their successes change the balance of systems. The scale of the galaxy is impressive, but it also requires patience: flights take time, and the reward does not come immediately. Food for the crew and repairs at stations require money, so the route is sometimes more important than the speed of movement. An error in calculating fuel can result in a long drift, so routes are built with a reserve. Some systems require repairs, and earned money is spent on this. For those who are looking for space without haste and are ready to master the controls, the Elite Dangerous provides a rare scale.
