Landing roughly on a high [[gravity]] world or [[Landing Pad|landing pad]] can destroy your ship.

Many activities do not require constant attention so you can watch a movie on a second monitor. Elite Dangerous has beautiful [[Elite Dangerous Music|music]], but it's a limited playlist and gets repetitive so you can play custom background music.

It's more about the journey~~, learning about the galaxy~~, discovering the Milky Way, making memories and maybe friends along the way.
