Unlike RPGs, players in Elite Dangerous will not choose their [[Roles|role]] by customising their character. Instead, the choice and customisation of their ship will be geared towards specific role(s). Examples cited are [[Roles#Trader|Trader]], [[Mineral Oil|Miner]], [[Roles#Explorer|Explorer]], [[Roles#Bounty Hunter|Bounty Hunter]] and [[Roles#Pirate|Pirate]]. However hybrid roles or new roles may be possible through updates or emergent gameplay e.g. mining.

In order to allow each player to explore each role they are able to own multiple ships and each can be customised to fill a certain role. When not in use a ship is stored in a station and can be retrieved by returning to that station at any time.
