New players start out with a [[Sidewinder MkI]] spacecraft and a small sum of [[Credits]]. They are able to [[Trader|trade]], [[pirate]], [[Bounty Hunter|bounty-hunt]], [[Miner|mine]], [[Explorer|explore]], and [[salvage]] their way to wealth and fame.
Elite Dangerous brings a modern look and new features to the Elite franchise. It's the first game in the series to feature online multiplayer in a vast 1:1 scale simulation of the Milky Way [[galaxy]] based on real scientific principles, current scientific data and theories. It's groundbreaking in that the galaxy is based on a lot of hard science with all sorts of star surveys that are fixed and merged to, for the first time in gaming history, compose a very consistent model of the Milky Way galaxy and it's rich enough to plot the night sky.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOYhoFYIWmw</ref> It's also one of the first major titles to offer full virtual reality support with an exceptionally immersive experience in an all-encompassing universe, and every player on every platform affects the same shared galaxy with an interactive overarching narrative via the [[Background Simulation|background simulation]].
Iconic features of the classic Elite games have been updated for Elite Dangerous such as the [[Coriolis]] station and [[Cobra Mk III]]. The Coriolis was the first station updated for Elite Dangerous' modern visual character. Many [[ships]] are based on the classic, polygonal shapes of [[Elite]]. Thus Elite Dangerous continues the rich heritage of the Elite series.<ref>Official The Art of Elite Dangerous art book, August 17 2016</ref>
