It is's the first game in the series to feature online multiplayer in a seamless 1:1 scale, scientifically accurate [[galaxy]]. It's groundbreaking as one of the first major titles to offer full virtual reality support with an exceptionally immersive experience in an all-encompassing universe, and every player on every platform affects the same shared galaxy with an interactive overarching narrative via the [[Background Simulation|background simulation]].
 
Iconic features of the classic Elite games have been updated for Elite Dangerous such as the [[Coriolis]] station and [[Cobra Mk III]]. The Coriolis was the first station updated for Elite Dangerous' modern visual character. Many [[ships]] are based on the classic, polygonal shapes of [[Elite]]. Thus Elite Dangerous continues the rich heritage of the Elite series.<ref>Official The Art of Elite Dangerous art book, August 17 2016</ref>
