Elite Dangerous FAQ: Difference between revisions

''[http://www.elitedangerous.com Elite Dangerous]'' is [[Elite: Dangerous FAQ#Will .22Elite: Dangerous.22 have a monthly subscription fee.3F|pay once and play]], therefore does '''not''' have a periodic subscription or free-to-play option like ''EVE Online''. Although Elite: Dangerous does offer paid "season passes" these behave more like paid DLC and the more traditional major expansion pack, in that not purchasing them does not prevent the base game from being played, whereas failure to pay for a periodic subscription prevents the base game from being played.

 

 

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.
