Elite: Dangerous / Videogame	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Elite: Dangerous is the long-awaited fourth game in the Elite series by David Braben and Frontier Developments. The game was announced in 1997 as Elite: IV, but the dying space simulator market combined with a lack of funding for the game ensured that it remained Vaporware for 15 years, before getting funding via Kickstarter in 2012 and finally releasing for PC in December 2014. The game has been made available on the Apple Macintosh, Xbox One, and Steam, with a port for the PlayStation 4 slated for early 2017.An expansion, Elite Dangerous: Horizons has also been released. It is the first of a set of planned expansions that involves, among other things, the ability to land on and explore planetary bodies. Horizons allows players to land on airless worlds and launch from their ships into a Cool Car designed to explore these planets' surfaces, utilize a sort of Elemental Crafting system to change how their ships' systems work and perform, and launch from larger ships into a Space Fighter; and will also allow players to serve as crew members on other players' spaceships and give players the ability to fine-tune how their ingame characters look. Another expansion, Elite Dangerous: Beyond was revealed in 2018 and is being released in several "chapters" (aka, major patches) for free to all owners of the base ED game. All 4 chapters have since been released, bringing a multitude of different additions and changes. Updates in 2020 will include player-owned fleet carriers, the ability to fly and land on atmospheric planets, and eventually the ability to walk around ships, space stations, and atmospheric planets with handheld weapons (known in Frontier nomenclature as "space-legs").Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The game is the first Elite game with any sort of multiplayer functionality, in the form of being a semi Massively Multiplayer Online Game with options for "open play" where players can encounter other players like a regular MMO, private groups where you can just play with chosen friends and not have to deal with other random players, or an online-only solo mode where you'll only ever encounter NPCs. Cross-platform play is not supported, but all platforms interact with the same "Background Simulation" which drives the galaxy behind the scenes; thus, players across all platforms can have a limited degree of influence on one another even if they cannot directly interact via combat, trading, piracy, or similar encounters.The game takes place in the Milky Way Galaxy 1286 years from now, starting approximately 47 years after the third Elite game, Frontier: First Encounters, and true to its Tagline, the galaxy features the 400 billion stars thought to exist within our Galaxy, 150,000 of which are based on actual astronomical data and the other 399,999,850,000 being created through Procedural Generation. It also features the return of the Galactic Federation, the Empire of Achenar, and the Alliance of Independent Systems from the previous games, as well as hundreds of smaller factions within each of the three superpowers and the faction that player-commanders belong to, the Pilots' Federation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Elite: Dangerous' gameplay is similar to the other games in the Elite series, with players starting out with 1,000 Credits and a Faulcon deLacy Sidewinder with the goal of reaching the coveted Elite ranking through trading goods, exploring the galaxy, and collecting bounties. Unlike other Elite games, however, there are three additional fields to reach the ranking in alongside the traditional field of combat: trade, exploration, and CQC. Also unlike other Elite games, Dangerous features the ability to influence faction standings within a star system, which if enough influence is reached, can result in a major shift in that system's loyalties, whether it be a Federation system seceding to the Empire (or vice versa) or an independent system aligning with the Alliance. Also unlike other Elite games, the game features an incredibly meticulous amount of attention to detail. Players can look around the cockpit of the ship they're flying, space stations have NPC traffic alongside player traffic, starfields are accurate to the player's position in space (no Streaming Stars here!), and black holes (yes, you can encounter black holes in Elite: Dangerous) feature gravity lensing. There is also an underlying story to the game accessible via an in-game news service featuring political clout within the Space Cold War between the Empire, the Federation, and the Alliance as well as some mysterious events pointing to the legends of the Thargoid race being more than just legends...You can check its website out here.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_137b63cb	comment	The Hauler, a space FedEx van which is advertised as a first step into a trading career. Though it'll take a very long time to get something with a bigger cargo hold if you stick to commodities trading, its potential to be fit with one of the longest-range Frame-Shift Drives in the game allows it to be first used to shuttle Rare Goods to distant systems (which get more profitable based on the distance you haul them, and are the one thing you can put in your cargohold and get insurance for if you get blown up), and then can be outfitted as a deep-space explorer with the profits from that venture. Many explorers favor the Hauler over dedicated exploration ships because of the low rebuy cost, which makes running out of fuel in deep space or being welcomed home by pirates or gankers a little less painful.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The release trailer depicts people walking up to their ship (not in the game at all at release, and later only in an Expansion Pack), and depicts action that is significantly more dense and fast paced than the actual gameplay though nothing explicitly wrong aside from a Cobra firing Robo Teching missiles backwards. The CQC Arena Downloadable Content that came out two years later matches the original trailer's pacing but not its scale. The commander chronicles videos serve as trailers, specifically so for Beyond Chapter two and showed pilots walking around admiring the new ship. With the lack of space legs it comes off as a bit of a tease.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_1dd14f5a	comment	I Surrender, Suckers: Various circumstances can lead to enemy ships attempting an interdiction on the player. When this happens, there are a few outcomes - One is where the player succeeds at evading the interdiction and goes on their merry way. Another is when the player fails to evade the interdiction and both they and the opposing vessel fall into the same space. A third option is this trope; The player submits to the interdiction, which while not seeming too smart, actually leaves them in a position to get their hard points up, fly around, and light up the incoming vessel when they drop into the players space, if they are sufficiently well armed. If not, they can evade until their frame shift comes up ( submitting results in a much shorter frame-shift cooldown than if they had failed to evade ) and then warp out, leaving their opposition behind.

As of Elite Dangerous, most don't look terribly similar to atmospheric fighters bar some vestigial wings and an overall streamlined aesthetic, with the Eagle being a notable exception with its massive wings. Craft handle very similar to terrestrial aircraft due to the layout of their thrusters, with yaw being significantly weaker than roll and pitch on almost every ship.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_20e20e99	type	Not the Intended Use
Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_20e20e99	comment	Not the Intended Use: Quite a few ships are surprisingly effective in ways they clearly aren't designed for; The Sidewinder is the worst ship stat-wise but you'll often see high level players running around in one. This is because it's so cheap that you can just let another player or NPC kill you and clear your bounties without any waiting or risk (this was later removed because it was so widely abused, however). Its also used for dangerous runs to areas where you won't be expecting to fight back. The Hauler is a pretty well-known example; considering the name you'd expect it to be designed for cargo runs, but its capacity is awful and with just a few extra credits you can near double everything with the Adder. However, the Hauler is a fantastic exploration vessel able to reach great speeds and jump range very cheaply which means super cheap rebuy costs. It was also a good alt to the sidewinder as a sacrificial lamb for clearing bounties. Despite being claimed as a trader with bad combat ability; with its massive unit space, shields, and good hardpoints the Type-9 Heavy can be a fairly effective tank in combat when outfitted for being able to soak up tons of damage without feeling anything. Usually in fights the authority will show up long before any kind of damage can actually be done. Anything within its price range simply won't be able to do a thing before it can either dish out better damage, or just leg it. It also can equip a fighter bay which can fix the horrendous maneuverability in battle. Ironically because it's so much more expensive, the Type 10 (the combat variant) can often be worse at this due to similar downsides, but costs much more and has one less class 8 internal slot. It also attracts much bigger and more expensive ships due to how pirates are generated.

As such, standard combat policy in these ships is to pull FA-off strafing runs, sliding through space sideways at max speed.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_22fed3a1	type	MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness
Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_22fed3a1	comment	Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness: Surprisingly high, oscillating somewhere between a 3 and a 4 on the scale. Especially notable are, for one thing, the mostly accurate Newtonian flight model when Flight Assist is turned off (mostly because ships still have a maximum speed and cannot accelerate continuosly) and the fact that, for once, Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale is averted - distances and relative sizes in the game generally are astronomically accurate. This is seldom seen outside literature (on the harder end of the scale, to boot) and almost never in this particular medium. In addition, Stealth in Space is handled sufficiently realistically with a focus on EM and thermal emissions and the need to manage heat production, there is no Artificial Gravity (at least on the stations, which explicitly have rotational gravity) etc. The one colossal Big Lie here is obviously the Frame Shift Drive, resulting in ridiculously Casual Interstellar Travel, what with a jump of >10 ly taking about 10 seconds and costing probably 20 credits or so worth of fuel, depending on your ship's outfitting - making it cheaper to pay for one interstellar jump than to buy friggin' biowaste. In-system travel is also very casual, although it actually takes longer to get around in a system than to jump between two different ones.

These Mile Long behemoths represent the best both factions can give, and both can launch faction-specific short-range fighter craft which are also incredibly cool, the Federation F63 Condors in their Standard Human Spaceship design and the GU-97s in their shininess. There are even plans to make these behemoths available to players!

There is no Alliance ranking and only one aligned Power, whereas the Federation get two, Empire get four, and Independents get three. Ironically the community ended up inverting the trope somewhat; The Alliance is the most popular power and most influential in the game, likely due to its powers not being split out at all. While they have no power exclusive ships they do have 3 ships specifically designed for them (or four, if you count the Type 10)

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_2804d516	comment	Master of None: The Keelback is ostensibly designed to be a more combat-oriented/less helpless variant of the Type 6, but it ends up being worse in pretty much all respects; it trades cargo capacity, maneuverability, and jump range in exchange for two additional medium hardpoints that it can barely even power thanks to it using the same distributor as the Type 6. It still gets out-maneuvered and outgunned by anything near its size. The Orca and Beluga also count, with dreadful stats across the board and ridiculous price tags to boot; all while the smaller Dolphin can do their job of luxury transport without such issues. And finally, there is the Asp Scout, which has stats comparable to the Cobra MkIII with a pricetag nearly 10 times as much, making it a good candidate for the worst ship, period.

Torpedos have massive damage output but you can only carry two extra shots for the thing and they are expensive as heck to restock. The Pack-Hound missile rack is one heck of a Macross Missile Massacre and fun as hell but they are about as damaging as a wet fart. In fact basically every Power reward item is this. Even the best one; the upgraded shield generator is so expensive and drains so much power its often not viable at all. Not to mention the absolute grind it takes to unlock the damn things Pirating in general; it's not an efficient way to make money especially considering the risk unless you abuse a few things.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_3273ebb9	comment	Cut-and-Paste Environments: Although starfields in the game are accurate to the player's position in the Milky Way, this has led to most regions of space outside of the Galactic Core and most nebulae looking almost exactly the same as each other. Beyond that, the only real differences between systems are the color of their planets and parent stars and how many of each those systems have, and whether or not those planets are ringed. Planetary Landing, introduced in Elite: Dangerous - Horizons and improved upon in each update following its release, has gone to some lengths to rectify this. The interiors of most space stations also tended to be identical to each other, though some in more populated systems looked more lavish with an Ascetic Aesthetic-feel to them. Update 1.6/2.2 - which introduced ship-launched fighters - introduced a larger variety of station interiors, alleviating this for the most part.

The problem was so widespread that in the next hotfix a week later they refunded all rebuy costs. The mining changes in Beyond Chapter 4 added a new mechanic: Sub-surface deposits that required a specific tool to retrive. The problem? Said tool is borderline non-functional and rarely works as intended and will cause the audio to bug out and loop a sound effect endlessly, making these deposits practically unobtainable.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_36249acd	comment	Lethal Joke Character: The Orca. It doesn’t boast the obscene carrying capacity of the Beluga, still requires a large pad, and boasts a less-than-stellar armament. However, for a ship of its size, the Orca is deceptively fast, leading a good few players to use it for high-speed ramming attacks while unloading into an unwary target’s hull with high-damage weapons. The Type-9 Heavy is typically only ever used to haul cargo. However, due to its absolutely massive class 8 internal slots, it can fit one of the largest shields possible, and have room for shield cell banks with an obscene amount of hull reinforcements AND a Fighter Bay. Properly armed, the Heavy is a nightmare to kill. Also, there’s the Sidewinder itself. Most are eager to be rid of it, but in the right hands, it is capable of going toe to toe with nearly any foe in the game. It has killed Anacondas, Corvettes, Cutters, and now with the small guardian weaponry released, there are videos of Sidewinders killing Thargoids. Alone.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: Though any sufficiently cheap, unimpressive ship can turn into this with the right fitting, there are two standouts a new player should take note of: The Hauler, a space FedEx van which is advertised as a first step into a trading career. Though it'll take a very long time to get something with a bigger cargo hold if you stick to commodities trading, its potential to be fit with one of the longest-range Frame-Shift Drives in the game allows it to be first used to shuttle Rare Goods to distant systems (which get more profitable based on the distance you haul them, and are the one thing you can put in your cargohold and get insurance for if you get blown up), and then can be outfitted as a deep-space explorer with the profits from that venture. Many explorers favor the Hauler over dedicated exploration ships because of the low rebuy cost, which makes running out of fuel in deep space or being welcomed home by pirates or gankers a little less painful. Fan-favorite of classic Elite players, the Adder bears an uncanny resemblance to the used Camry you drove in high school - and is a cheap, effective Jack-of-All-Stats that will get you to the iconic Cobra (or a more dedicated ship) easily with any mix of dogfighting, trade, Asteroid Mining, and even exploration (being able to jump nearly as far as the Hauler.) In terms of weaponry, most people overlook the Multicannons in favor of other, high-damage weapons, or ones that don’t need ammo, like the Frag Cannon or any laser, respectively. However, as kinetic weapons, they are by default better against hull armor, they are incredibly versatile with some engineering, and can equip a multitude of experimental effects ranging from simple rate of fire upgrades to imparting massive heat on your targets or straight up converting some damage to thermal to better affect shields. At the same time, they are low-cost, available as gimbals and turrets, and are sold nearly everywhere, making them easy to acquire and use.

Doing this has a ludicrously high chance of spawning a pirate to chase you and they will always be flying better ships and have better ranks than normal. (for example, normally a Type-9 would only encounter Vipers and cobras mostly, with rare fer-de-lances and super rare Phytons. They will also never go more than one rank higher than your combat rank. These missions consistently spawn high engineered Pythons and even freaking Anacondas, and they even have max combat rank, usually deadly or better; a death sentence for the interdiction vulnerable type-9)

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_3e7cad99	type	Overheating
Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_3e7cad99	comment	Overheating: Two applications of it. Energy weapons have their own individual heat meters, and when they overheat, they have to cool off a bit before they can be fired again. A standard pulse laser will take several shots to overheat, while continuous lasers and burst lasers can overheat in as little as two seconds. All your weapons contribute to this "thermal load" to at least some small degree, but devoting more power to weapons causes it to disperse faster, somehow. Your ship also has its own heat meter, representing the heat generated by all the components on board (generator, life support, et al). Operating all component simultaneously increases heat generation very quickly, and without adequate heat sinks, can result in system damage of varying degrees, up to and including catastrophic failure. Heat disappates over time, but heat sinks can be shut off to reduce the detectable signature of the ship at the cost of possible death. Heat can also be "ejected" through special heatsinks, providing a fast dump of waste heat that can also confuse sensors and heat-seeking weapons. Averted by NPCs, who are immune to overheating.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_5ade9ace	comment	Gang Up on the Human: Open fire on a wanted NPC ship that is being engaged by a dozen System Authority Anacondas and it is guaranteed to stop firing at its current target, turn around and start shooting at you. Initially, they would also never change targets once the player shot at them, though now they will usually go back to fighting their previous targets if the player runs away or doesn't present a significant enough threat. In Conflict Zones, enemies entering the zone will automatically target the player if they are in range, and will only break off if another ship shoots at them. If you make the horrible mistake of taking a large portion of supply run missions at once (which would make sense at first) then you'll soon realize that almost every one spawns at least one pirate to chase you. This often results in being chased by several pirates all at once. In some cases, if you get out of their interdiction, you can be instantly interdicted again and again before the first pirate starts interdicting again, result in an endless loop of inevitable death. A similar (but far less obnoxious) situation can occur with illegal runs and the authority ships.

Horrible noises can also be heard while jumping through hyperspace and while alone in supercruise. Guardian surface sites also make rather concerning noises while in the vicinity. There's also the somewhat subtle sound of impending doom that is the sound of your canopy fracturing. Whilst you generally have at least a few minutes to find somewhere to repair (unless you're in the middle of absolute nowhere, in which case you better hope you have the best life support money can buy and enough materials for emergency resupply synthesis) there are still few noises anywhere near as distressing.

The only story protagonists are the NPCs in the plot and the cooperative acts of hundreds of players at once; which is how it works in-universe. However there are a few examples of player it straight: There's no logical explanation to why the player is safely ejected to the last starport potentially thousands of Lys away, but destroyed NPCs are always killed on destruction and several story characters are killed with their ships. The existence of the Cobra MkIV, a special ship only buyable by early buyers of the first expansion pack. But there's no in-universe explanation to this limited availability and it is an extremely common ship for NPCs to fly. If a damaged enemy ship jumps away from your location, it will instantly regain all of its health if you intercept it again.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_6ac6a56a	comment	And Your Reward Is Clothes: Up until you hit Elite in one of the four categories, the only tangible rewards you get for advancing in rank in the Pilot's Federation are special decals to customize your Cool Starship with and a congratulatory message. After you hit Elite once (which unlocks the Shinrarta Dezhra system to you), hitting Elite again only unlocks the requisite decals. CQC ranking (not to be confused with Pilot's CQC ranking) averts this since ranking up generally unlocks additional loadout options for your Space Fighter and additional loadout slots. It's also worth noting that higher ranks spawn high level missions; but will also spawn higher level pirates to attack you. So if you're planning on trading; a high combat rank will actually make your job much harder. Played straight with a few community goals; some of which now provide decals as rewards, thankfully alongside the cash reward. Since all other non-rank decals cost real money, its certaintly a half-decent reward.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_6fa1e7a2	comment	Noob Bridge: Nav beacons are normally a great respite and let the player get huge bonuses for exploration rewards; enter into a compromised one however and you'll find yourself surrounded by countless vessels all wanting whatever you've got. In most cases; death is the only outcome. Distress beacons are normally harmless and let the player help npcs for profit; at worst you'd expect a firefight where you would at least be able to have a backup ship or a distraction. You probably wouldn't expect the trap of several Anacondas looking to destroy you though. When in an opposing faction system (that is, any that's not under the power you pledge to) you'll be given massive red warnings saying "HOSTILE" which would indicate everyone nearby will shoot-on-sight. Heck, it even takes priority over the "WANTED" message which will result in the shoot-on-sight response. In reality, however, the hostile message is, for no known reason, almost entirely bogus and a colossal overexaggeration; there are no major downsides to being in a "hostile" system; you can trade freely and authority vessels will even come to your aid in combat. The ONLY downside is that sometimes, neutral ships that scan you may turn on you (which almost never happens as only authority or pirates ever seem to scan you), and even then, the police will come to your aid. This has resulted in many newer players that get into the powerplay incorrectly thinking that they are no longer allowed to visit anywhere outside their power if they dont want a swift death. You'll learn quickly that supply run missions are simply a death sentence. Doing this has a ludicrously high chance of spawning a pirate to chase you and they will always be flying better ships and have better ranks than normal. (for example, normally a Type-9 would only encounter Vipers and cobras mostly, with rare fer-de-lances and super rare Phytons. They will also never go more than one rank higher than your combat rank. These missions consistently spawn high engineered Pythons and even freaking Anacondas, and they even have max combat rank, usually deadly or better; a death sentence for the interdiction vulnerable type-9)

They both have rather poor jump ranges, hardpoints equal to ships half their size, mediocre shields and armor and a price tag that puts it alongside the Jack-of-All-Stats Python and the bounty hunting Fer-de-Lance. Their few saving graces are decent speeds for their size, their looks, being capable of fielding ship-launched fighters, and being really good at transporting passengers in absolute luxury. But even then the smaller Dolphin can also fly luxury passengers, while having a decent jump range and a reasonable price tag. The Asp scout really takes the cake here though. Everything it does a ship a fraction of its price can do miles better and excels in no departments but mobility (which the eagle; the second cheapest ship in the game, does better). Even the game's own wiki has practically forgotten the ship exists with a still vastly incomplete section more than a year after its release.

Operating all component simultaneously increases heat generation very quickly, and without adequate heat sinks, can result in system damage of varying degrees, up to and including catastrophic failure. Heat disappates over time, but heat sinks can be shut off to reduce the detectable signature of the ship at the cost of possible death. Heat can also be "ejected" through special heatsinks, providing a fast dump of waste heat that can also confuse sensors and heat-seeking weapons.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_a9c7258a	comment	Absent Aliens: When the game was launched, there were no intelligent aliens in the game. Though there's a Galnet article about an auction for alleged alien artifacts from the Thargoid race, whose existence is supposed to be a legend. Non-Player Characters rescued from spaceships long-thought to be Missing-In-Action are also beginning to talk about mysterious lifeforms only known as "The Architects", and there are mysterious Unknown Artefacts in deep space that certainly aren't of human origin as well as even more mysterious Barnacles growing on certain planets in the Pleiades nebula. The mystery then thickened even more when players wound up finding a crashed alien ship on another planet in the Pleiades. Averted as of later events. Alien activity has been on the rise, culminating in the destruction of a Federal Battleship, leaving only a communication beacon transmitting "Thargoid Return" continuously in phoenetics. It's a prelude to the upcoming 2.4 update, titled "The Return". A .gif was been found showing a Thargoid ship firing on a federal corvette. FDev also went on record saying that they're aiming to have The Return feature full on player vs. Thargoid combat. Considering that their ships appear mostly unaffected by conventional weaponry, it remains to be seen how the players will handle this new threat. Averted to Hell and back, as the Galaxy map now has a filter for which civilization controls a system, and icons for systems with stations under repair or currently out of commission after Thargoid attacks. And those icons are showing up closer and closer to Sol... Played straight with the Guardians, who were an alien species very similar to humans that were wiped out by the Thargoids. Only their technology and drones remain.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_ac9f78d9	comment	Jack-of-All-Stats: The Cobra MKIII isn't the best ship in any one particular archetype, but its balanced stats make it the premier early game ship. It's the fastest ship in the game, carries the same firepower as the combat-oriented Viper MKIII while pitching and rolling almost as quickly, carries enough cargo to smuggle and trade rare goods, and has enough interior slots to kit it out for exploration. Its only real downside is the abysmal small weapon mounts on the wingtips, which all but require gimbals to hit a target. The Asp Explorer qualifies as well. While it does one thing really well (exploration, due to its excellent jump distance) it can handle any role at least fairly well, making a solid combat ship due to its well placed two medium and four small weapon mounts and middling maneuverability, a decent trader with up to over 100 tons of potential cargo space (And does amazingly with rares, due to its large jump distance), a fair miner, and a surprisingly good pirate ship due to aforementioned weaponry mounts and cargo space, all wrapped up in a midlevel price tag. The Anaconda was the largest ship from the initial launch, however it's still very popular because of how much you can do with it. It can carry enormous amounts of cargo while remaining well armed and armored, it rivals the Asp Explorer in jump range, it can carry fighters, be modified as a small battleship, carry a ton of passengers or even be setup for some space mining. Engineering upgrades can essentially make this ship anything you want it to be, except nimble. The Python is the Anaconda's smaller cousin. At approximately 288 feet long, it is still one of the larger ships in the game, and is usable in any role. It has tons of space for cargo storage, or exploration based modules. It can reach good speeds, is nimble enough that smaller craft have trouble outmaneuvering it, and can carry enough defences and firepower to be a serious threat to large ships like the Anaconda, Federal Corvette, and Imperial Cutter if not dealt with quickly. It's also the largest ship that can use a Medium landing pad, meaning it can dock at smaller orbital platforms.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_ad1db87c	comment	Oh, Crap!: Invoked by NPC pirates when they realize the miner they've targeted is really a bounty hunter. Any NPC criminal when a dogfight isn't going their way. Generally the reaction of any player who hears these words in a Combat Zone: "Warning! Capital-Class signature detected!" Then watches as a Mile-Long Ship drops out of Supercruise, enshrouded by a massive magnetic storm, and hears straight-up Reaper sounds. All with a good dose of Ominous Latin Chanting. Also the reaction of any trader, or anyone flying a ship not built for combat when an NPC pirate starts announcing their attack. Especially true with the bad mobility ships; which really suck at dodging interceptions. Sometimes pirates won't give this warning if quests are taken or your shield is off (or it's another player of course), which will often result in a small Jump Scare, due to the massive effect and loud noises. VR has been known to make pilots soil themselves when this scenario occurs. Thargoids are pretty much this writ large for the Elite 'verse. The fact they've stepped up their war on humanity since 3304 (and the Beyond expansion) started has only made this worse. Recently, a new Thargoid variant appeared named the Hydra. The community’s general reaction ranged from “oh crap” to “time to go live on the other side of the galaxy.”

They also take issue with their member worlds heavily damaging alien ecosystems, especially if said ecosystem includes a sapiant species. The Empire makes extensive use of slaves, but the institution is more like Indentured Servitude than what people today think of slavery. It is considered a matter of honor that Imperial slaves are treated humanely, and as far as the Empire is concerned unregulated Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil. Some of the more affluent Imperial citizens will even fund missions to "liberate" unregulated slaves and bring them to Imperial worlds on the principle that in the Empire they will at least be treated fairly. Averted with the Kumo Crew; they will go to any lengths whatsoever and really don't seem to have any standards whatsoever and are the only power to not oppose non-imperial slavery.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_b542cf17	type	Opposing Combat Philosophies
Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_b542cf17	comment	Opposing Combat Philosophies: Federation ships are warships. They carry the most armor of their class, and prioritize weapons and handling above all else leading to some abysmal jump ranges. The Federal Corvette is the end-all of combat ships, but moving around in it with its dismal 12 LY jump range is absolute agony. The Farragut-class warships embody this, being pure and simple war machines; they don't have any luxury features whatsoever. Imperial ships all emphasize the glory of the Empire and allow the pilot to bask in their superiority. Oversized engines and improved internals allow them to diversify their roles, but this comes at the cost of often poor handling and horrible weapon placement. The Empire's Majestic-class Interdictors feature their own rotating ring section to generate (low) gravity for visitors, as the vessels serve as roaming embassies and yachts for wealthy owners.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_b7b1e990	comment	When in an opposing faction system (that is, any that's not under the power you pledge to) you'll be given massive red warnings saying "HOSTILE" which would indicate everyone nearby will shoot-on-sight. Heck, it even takes priority over the "WANTED" message which will result in the shoot-on-sight response. In reality, however, the hostile message is, for no known reason, almost entirely bogus and a colossal overexaggeration; there are no major downsides to being in a "hostile" system; you can trade freely and authority vessels will even come to your aid in combat. The ONLY downside is that sometimes, neutral ships that scan you may turn on you (which almost never happens as only authority or pirates ever seem to scan you), and even then, the police will come to your aid. This has resulted in many newer players that get into the powerplay incorrectly thinking that they are no longer allowed to visit anywhere outside their power if they dont want a swift death.

Especially true with the bad mobility ships; which really suck at dodging interceptions. Sometimes pirates won't give this warning if quests are taken or your shield is off (or it's another player of course), which will often result in a small Jump Scare, due to the massive effect and loud noises.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_c621dd28	comment	Silent Running Mode: Achieved by shutting the cooling vents and deactivating heat-generating systems (up to and including life support), and thus diminishing the ship's thermal signature. As pretty much any system generates some amount of heat, it can continue to build up inside the ship while the cooling vents are shut, eventually causing system damage and/or pilot death. Heat sink launchers can be purchased, which are used to store generated heat while in silent running and are then launched to misdirect enemy sensors and heat-seeking missiles. You can't make your ship totally invisible, though, as any ship coming close enough (~300 meters) will be able to detect your presence regardless of thermal signature.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_c7b5445c	comment	Cool Starship Faulcon deLacy produces some of Elite's most iconic ships, including the legendary Cobra Mk.III, the Viper Mk.III, the Sidewinder, the Python, and the Anaconda. Core Dynamics has more famous ships in the Eagle, hailing from the second installment, and the newcomer Vulture, as well as the Federation Military's civilian-available ships, the Federal Dropship, Assault Ship, Gunship, and Corvette. They also produce the Farragut-Class Battlecruiser for The Federation as well as the Federation's exclusive short-range fighter, the F63 Condor. Zorgon Peterson produces the Adder, having taken over from Outworld Workshops, a basic cargo ship called the Hauler, and another Elite classic, the Fer-De-Lance. Lakon Spaceways produces a line of cool cargo haulers referred to as the Type Six, the Keelback (basically a Type Six converted to be a very light carrier and combat vessel in the tradition of converted transports from the World Wars), the Type Seven Transport, the Type Nine Heavy, the Asp Explorer (another Elite classic), its sister, the Asp Scout, and the Diamondback Explorer and its little sister, the Diamondback Scout, with the Asp Explorer and Type Six being regularly used by explorers. They also produce a short-range fighter for independent factions, the Taipan. In more recent times (during the Beyond content cycle), they've become aligned with the Alliance, and produce the Chieftain for the Alliance alongside its variants the Challenger and Crusader (these being fairly large combat vessels with surprising maneuverability for their size that also make excellent armed traders) as well as the Type Ten Defender - which is, essentially, a Keelback writ large, a Type Nine hull made twice as wide, with a ton of armor strapped to it (it out-armors every other non-capital ship in the game), and with guns (a staggering nine of them) covering every surface and full fighter capacity. The only ships currently available to players from Saud Kruger are the Dolphin, the Orca and the Beluga, which look cool - and, in the Beluga's case, is the largest player-accessible ship in the game - and can fit luxury passenger modules but are otherwise largely outclassed by every other ship in the game (what with being luxury liners, not combat vessels). On the other hand, the few Imperial military ships available to players are Gutamaya's Imperial Eagle (produced in tandem with Core Dynamics), Courier, Clipper, and Cutter, the Clipper having become a legend in its own right due to its impressive design and superior combat capabilities. They also produce The Empire's line of Majestic-Class Interdictors and the Empire's exclusive short-range fighter, the GU-97. And of course there are the Capital Ships—the Majestic-Class Interdictor for the Empire, and the Farragut-Class Battlecruiser for the Federation - which were among the first ships shown to audiences back when the game was still being crowdfunded via the "Capital Ship Battle" video. These Mile Long behemoths represent the best both factions can give, and both can launch faction-specific short-range fighter craft which are also incredibly cool, the Federation F63 Condors in their Standard Human Spaceship design and the GU-97s in their shininess. There are even plans to make these behemoths available to players!

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_c9861848	comment	Video Game Caring Potential: When looking for missions to do on the bulletin board of any station, players can occasionally stumble across calls for monetary assistance. There is no immediate reward for completing these missions, only a bit of reputation at best, but they occasionally spawn a follow-up mission which pays more than the amount donated. New players are favored targets by pirates looking for easy kills, but a number of more experienced pilots have made a point of patrolling newbie areas purely to try and stop them. A group of players known as the Fuel Rats recently made in-universe news after their 1000th rescue. How? They transport fuel to players who're stranded in unknown space and cannot obtain fuel themselves and in normal cases would have to die in-game to respawn in a new ship. They've traveled to the other side of the galaxy to do this duty. They volunteer to do this and don't ask for any reward. With Thargoids now attacking space stations, commanders have the option of rescuing people from damaged stations. Occupied escape pods found drifting in space or in planetary wreckage can also be turned in to a Search & Rescue office for a small monetary reward. It's worth noting that when compared to most other online communities Elite's stands out a good bit; if the fuel rat example wasn't enough. Events to chart out the near endless space, help newbies, multi-crew, group wings, bodyguards and just chatting is found in many many examples and there's at least one group for each of the powers that do a good job representing the atmosphere of their allegiance (ie Alliance members are often noob and trader inviting while Independent ones are more combat and experience lovers.)

It's possible to create this aesthetic on the outside of ships yourself by flying around in high speed supercruise a lot and never repairing your paint. Explicitly canon in the case of the vintage Eagle Mark II fighters; Core Dynamics no longer manufactures entire new Mark IIs, though they do still provide spare parts and servicing. Any Mark II you encounter is thus potentially a couple of centuries old and patched together multiple times over by in-game terms. Even the upgraded Imperial Eagle is a hair over a century old by this point.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: Ship insurance: if your ship is destroyed, you can rebuy the same model and all of your modules for a modest 5% of their original price. Alpha/Beta backers get an even greater reduction in insurance costs, as do Li-Yong Rui's supporters. Loan: In the case you don't have enough credits for the aforementioned ship insurance, you can make a loan to pay for it. Your loan limit is based on your current rank and 10% of all your earnings is deduced until you finish paying up the loan, but you still have some coverage against permanently losing your ship and upgrades in case of lack of money. Flight assist: It helps the ship to move in the desired direction at the desired speed, by countering your thrusters so speed and direction are maintained. Without it, thanks to the mostly accurate Newtonian Physics that the game uses, if you accelerated you would keep accelerating until you made a thrust in the opposite direction, or if you turned you would keep spinning until you applied a thrust to the other side. At Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy, there's a scoopable star about 100,000 light-seconds away, so that if you spent your last fuel jumping into the system, you won't be stranded there. Getting killed by a notorious player (one who has multiple bounties and murders other players) will heavily reduce your rebuy, making gankers less annoying and punishing them more. Basically the reason the Alliance ships arent in anyway power exclusive is so players wouldnt have to start grinding EXP for the Alliance all over again just to gain access to them. Due to the infinite ammo and perfect accuracy of the AI, they will never utilise torpedoes, as they are heavily balanced by holding only one or two shots. Bounties gained from powerplay interactions do not count towards player notoriety nor give the various penalties to the associated ship (higher transport costs and finned modules). This is due to said interactions having unavoidable bounties, as even self-defence will result in one.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_e0ecb7b3	comment	Space Station: It's a staple for the series, though the types of Space Station is a bit more limited than before. They include: Outposts, which are further divided by Outpost type (Industrial Outpost, Military Installation, Research Outpost, Civilian Installation, Unsanctioned Outpost, etc.) and don't spin to produce gravity. They have 3 or 4 landing pads and can't service ships that require a "Large" landing pad (e.g. the Imperial Clipper, the Federal Corvette, the Anaconda, the Type Seven and Type Nine-Heavy, and so on) due to their largest pads being "Medium" size. Hutton Orbital in Alpha Centauri, Trevthick Dock (where players begin in Horizons) in LHS 3447, and Wilson Vision in Achenar are just a few examples of the myriad of Outposts in the game. Coriolis Starports are the one station that's been around since the first game. Rotating polyhedrons, these icons of Elite are near-ubiquitous throughout human space and are highly detailed compared to previous incarnations, since these have what can best be described as city blocks lining their exteriors. The legendary Lave Station in Lave, Syromyatnikov Horizons in Nu, and Gotham Park in Alioth are three examples of the station type. Some Coriolis stations also have up to 4 long arms extending from their sides used as high-gravity factories. Ocellus Stations are the newest addition to the family, based on modified Bernal Spheres. They tend to be rarer than the other three station types, though they are cheaper to manufacture than Orbis Starports thanks to their modular design. Obsidian Orbital in the Pleiades (Specifically, the Maia system), Galileo, and Columbus (both in Sol) are some examples of such a station. A handful of Ocelluses have habitation rings akin to Orbis ports, though the Bernal Sphere part of the station occludes them. Orbis Starports are another station type returning from the old games, based on a modified Torus station from Frontier: Elite II. These stations represent the pinnacle of opulence and wealth for a system, and are the most expensive station type as a direct result. Abraham Lincoln in Sol, Dawes Hub in Achenar, Melbourne Park in Alioth, and the roving starport known as Jaques Orbital are all examples of Orbises. Prior to update 1.6/2.2, which introduced a variety of different station interiors to all rotating stations, the Orbis was also unique in that it was the only station type that could have the "wealthy" station interior type, which has a white Ascetic Aesthetic style to it. Asteroid Bases were added in update 2.3. 42 are known to exist, scattered about the galaxy. These hollowed out asteroids can support all three ship sizes and always have at least four services: commodities market, refueling, restock, and repair, making them a very useful port for explorers with damaged ships.

This can be invoked on other ships using an FSD interdictor, which is often used for pirate ambushes. Big ships cause a type of Maybe Warping Zone on other ships by slowing down their drive charge; the larger the difference in ship masses, the greater the disruption factor (and thus, charge time). This makes it easier to escape from ultralight fighters like the Eagle, and gives heavier vessels some use in piracy or bounty hunting.

Some players (often referred to as gankers or griefers) will actively hunt down and kill others for no reason other than to ruin that persons day (you gain literally nothing for doing this, not even combat rank and only results in gaining yourself a big bounty and noterity).

The result tends to be a curbstomp battle in the larger craft's favor. They will retreat when badly damaged, however, but generally they're so far gone at that point that they can't actually get away before being destroyed. They also rather amusingly will continue to tell you "drop the cargo and it'll all be over" Whilst in the middle of having their pirate ass handed to them. By far the most amusing result, however, is that if they are chasing you they will always follow you to anywhere you disengage your supercruise to and start yelling threats; even if its a highly defended starport with no fire zones or checkpoints literally swarming with authority vessels. The resulting curbstomp they receive is rather amusing one must admit; though they will often make a hasty retreat if its a starport.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_fa779d17	type	Ascetic Aesthetic
Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_fa779d17	comment	Orbis Starports are another station type returning from the old games, based on a modified Torus station from Frontier: Elite II. These stations represent the pinnacle of opulence and wealth for a system, and are the most expensive station type as a direct result. Abraham Lincoln in Sol, Dawes Hub in Achenar, Melbourne Park in Alioth, and the roving starport known as Jaques Orbital are all examples of Orbises. Prior to update 1.6/2.2, which introduced a variety of different station interiors to all rotating stations, the Orbis was also unique in that it was the only station type that could have the "wealthy" station interior type, which has a white Ascetic Aesthetic style to it.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_fb9afaab	comment	Attack Drone: Surface outposts are guarded by skimmers; remote-controlled drones that hover a view meters off the ground. They come in many shapes and flavors such as the tiny Stinger, the standard Sentry Skimmer, and the ship-sized Goliath. Skimmers are usually hidden under the surface and only spring up when altered, though in larger bases they are always active or can be deployed from specialized docking ports.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_fcd993bd	comment	Video Game Cruelty Punishment: ... But if you do such things and get caught, you are going to have to, at best pay some fines, or at worst, be blown to pieces by either the local defense forces or a player bounty hunter. Or both. Killing players who have no noterity will give you not just a huge bounty, but will make their rebuy much less costly and doing this too much attracts Karma enforcers; which will be endless waves of god tier engineered authority ships that have so much firepower a max engineered wing of clippers will struggle to fight against them.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_fd94c4ac	type	Theme Naming
Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_fd94c4ac	comment	Theme Naming: See Animal Theme Naming above, but this also applies to the Lakon Alliance ships, which are named after British tanks; the Chieftain, Challenger and a leaked third name, Crusader. NPC ships have an odd theme with either references to other media or...tea, or tea related like toast and bread. Frontier is a British developer after all.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_fdeed2aa	comment	Old School Dogfight: The smaller ships have only forward-facing Hardpoints, and being as maneuverable as they are, this is the result. Bigger ships, however, can arm turreted guns, which allows them an almost 360º firing arc. But even so, it's not unusual to see a 150-odd meter long anaconda trying to face a nimble sidewinder to bear down it's might on it.

Horizons also adds the Engineers, which can turn a variety of data, materials, and commodities into module modifications such as adding incendiary bullets to multicannons or speeding up the FSD spool up time.

Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Elite: Dangerous / Videogame / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: The science presented in the game is some of the most sound in Science Fiction - even the Frame-Shift Drive, the setting's One Big Lie, has some amount of scientific theory backing it up. Perhaps the greatest example of this is in its presentation of Black Holes - which aren't treated as all-consuming interstellar vacuum cleaners, but rather as navigational hazards that just happen to have gravity lensing and are much blacker than most stars. On top of that, the Voyager Probes can be found in-game where they should be in the 34th Century, and are one of the few things in the game that can be considered to be in truly deep space, since in real life the Voyager Probes have passed through the Solar system's Termination Shock, generally considered to be the outermost boundary between the Solar system and interstellar space.
