: Another major difference is that in '''EVE '''everybody within a star system is in one big instance and when there are too many people within it they slow down the update rate of the game.
 
: <span class="fyre-cp-hidden" style="display: inline;">'''Elite: Dangerous'''</span> features [[Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#Is_.22Elite:_Dangerous.22_an_MMOG.3F|dynamically created free movingroaming multiplayer instances]] that are decoupled from the star system itself (but you can also play solo).
: <span class="fyre-cp-hidden" style="display: inline;">The galaxy is seamless for the case of '''Elite: Dangerous''' and the sessions within it can move around, only bubble range and interest determine the players you will see during flight.</span>
 
: Due to a lot less network traffic, this allows <span class="fyre-cp-hidden" style="display: inline;">'''Elite: Dangerous'''</span> to have twitch based action instead of classic MMO click 'n' roll (where actual world updates are comparitively slow depending on server load and all attacks are caculated on servers using modified D&D system) which is used in '''EVE'''.
: That means that <span class="fyre-cp-hidden" style="display: inline;">'''Elite: Dangerous'''</span> combat is more twitch skill based.
 
: <spanThe class="fyre-cp-hidden" style="display: inline;">The''' Elite: Dangerous'''</span>''' '''galaxy is based on the real '''[[Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#What_are_the_main_features_of_.22Elite:_Dangerous.22.3F|Milky Way]] '''and''' [[Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#Will_planets_rotate_and_orbit_around_stars.3F|planets will rotate and orbit their stars]]''', thus constantly changing a system's landscape and adding lot of depth - and it has around '''[[Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#What_are_the_main_features_of_.22Elite:_Dangerous.22.3F|100 billion star systems]]''', as opposed to '''EVE '''where the planets are static and don't move.
 
: <span class="fyre-cp-hidden" style="display: inline;">'''Elite: Dangerous'''</span> has '''freeform (manual pitch/yaw/roll)''' '''[http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#How_will_we_travel_those_vast_distances_in_such_a_huge_glaxy.3F interplanetary fast travel up to 2000 times the speed of light (2000C)]''' and you will be able to seamlessly enter '''[http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#How_will_we_travel_those_vast_distances_in_such_a_huge_glaxy.3F hyperspace]''' from anywhere to another star.  '''EVE''' on the other hand has point & click travel and you must fly to a jump gate to enter another star system.
 
: A major feature that '''Elite: Dangerous''' will have is '''[[Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#Will_it_be_possible_to_manually_land_on_planets.3F|freeform (manual pitch/yaw/roll) atmospheric flight and seamless landing on planets]]''' and '''[[Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#Can_I_walk_around_the_ship.2C_planets_and_space_stations.3F|walking on living planets with cities and wildlife]]''' as part of [[Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#What_is_the_expansion_pass.3F|expansions]] soon after the initial release.
