Unlike previous games, in Elite Dangerous the Milky Way [[Galaxy|galaxy]] will evolve. As players explore, the different factions will be seen to spread to further star systems, colonizing planets and building space stations. Players can participate in this process by completing missions for a particular [[Minor Factions|minor faction]] to increase their [[influence]] in that system. This can eventually lead to wars, which players can then continue to help their chosen faction by participating in. In addition to war, players can also influence minor factions in star systems in other ways such as causing an economic boom. | |||
New star ports are slowly built in real time. These events create opportunities for players in the form of [[Community Goals]], as the resources and workers required for building need to be transported to the site, which becomes a prime target for piracy and increase the demand for bounty hunting. | New star ports are slowly built in real time.

Some examples are [[Roles#Trader|Trader]], [[Miner]], [[Roles#Explorer|Explorer]], [[Roles#Bounty Hunter|Bounty Hunter]], [[Smuggler]] and [[Roles#Pirate|Pirate]]. However hybrid roles are possible through emergent gameplay e.g. defensive bounty hunting while trading in a multipurpose vessel, or taking long-range trade missions and exploring systems along the way. | ||
In order to allow each player to explore each role they are able to own multiple ships and each can be customised to fill a certain role. When not in use a ship is stored in a station and can be retrieved by returning to that station at any time. | In order to allow each player to explore each role they are able to own multiple ships and each can be customised to fill a certain role.
