Careers: Difference between revisions

There are a number of distinct '''roles''' that players can take on in ''[[Elite Dangerous]]''. Roles do not require prior experience or skills to take part in - by obtaining the necessary equipment anyone can perform any role. The six main [[Ships|ship]]-based roles are trading, smuggling, exploring, mining, bounty hunting, and pirating. The two main [[On Foot]]-based roles are mercenary work and exobiology. [[Frontier Developments]] have stated that they want all roles to be equally profitable.<ref name=":0">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gMbLjUjs1w&feature=youtu.be YouTube: Dev Diary 3 — Player Roles]</ref> [[Roleplaying]] denotes acting with unscripted situations.

Most roles require the use of a [[Ships|ship]]. As a [[commander]] licensed by the [[Pilots Federation]], the player is an independent pilot and freelancer who can pursue whichever activities they deem to be the most rewarding. Their ability to pilot a ship allows commmanders to roam the galaxy with almost no restrictions and side with or against any faction.
