The game at the moment, severly lacks social features.Such as new cities to visit, offering some new services and so on, but there are naturally season pass exclusive features. You DO get everything with the base game that is included in the base game, and also everything from a paid season pass without spending a single dollar aswell, if these are related to the open world experience. The right to demand future updates for free.Reliable frequency of online interactions: the galaxy is vast, even the tiny dot of civilized space is incredibly massive - players spread out, so get friends on board or join existing communities and visit social chokepoints.These still happen, just unscripted, so it may take a while to encounter something you'd like to see. Scripted "Holy****DidYouSeeThat" events.A system that holds your hand and won't let go no matter if you want it or not. ![]() ![]() Elite is the type of game you sit down for long hours of playsessions if you want to do something. Steep learning curve, where exploring the game, trying and failing is at the same time the best part of the experience.An ever changing love/hate relationship with the game with a bonus massive time sink.The best roleplaying material on the market for sci-fi theme.If you want to cause a station to lock down for everyone or start a civil war among it's inhabitants, it will take effort but you can. A background simulation to interact with, that drives the galaxy and the people in it, including political, social, agricultural, industrial mechanisms that players can manipulate on a level of a single man, achievening goals together or even alone.A community driven global storyline, unfolding through real weeks, months and years, supported by and resaulting in various community goals.To put it into perspective, this is the ArmA of the space pilot genre. Exterminate: a whole lot of this, oh you'll see. Expand: questionable, applies to your ship and wallet really, but exists in form of Powerplay with many players in control of decision making. Still: explore: speaks of itself, headline selling feature. If we look at the traditional meaning of 4X, Elite is far from it: it's more like living in the world of a 4X on a single person's level.

As an Elite player since it's relase through the years I have a collected a nice pile of guides, databases and so on in form of browser bookmarks. I wanted to create a guide for every aspect of the game, including the very basics such as business model, what to expect from the game (much like a review), then go into detail about each ingame activity, feature, tips and tricks and whatever. ![]()
