Elite Dangerous is a space simulation game developed and published by Frontier Developments. Released in December 2014, it is set in a 1:1 scale recreation of the Milky Way galaxy containing over 400 billion star systems. Players pilot customizable spaceships and choose their own path as traders, explorers, miners, bounty hunters, or pirates in a persistent online universe. The game features realistic Newtonian flight physics, a complex economy affected by player actions, and faction-based power play mechanics. Planetary landings were added through the Horizons expansion, and the Odyssey expansion introduced on-foot gameplay. Elite Dangerous has attracted millions of players who appreciate its scale and authenticity. Community initiatives like the Fuel Rats rescue organization demonstrate the unique emergent gameplay the simulation enables.
