The base game [[Elite Dangerous]] includes the [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons|Horizons]] expansion and [[Elite Dangerous: Beyond|Beyond]] updates.  The [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey]] expansion is required to unlock [[On Foot|on foot]] content such as first person exploration and combat, [[Exobiologist|exobiology]], [[mercenary]], tenuous [[Atmospheric Landing|atmospheric landing]], [[operations]], [[System Colonisation|system colonisation]] and newer [[ships]].


Elite Dangerous has a steep learning curve with complex controls and minimal in-game guidance. There are basic tutorials, but the game expects you to figure out navigation, [[Trader|trading]] and survival by yourself. However, there are free [[Third Party Tools]] for e.g. optimal trade routes, track market prices and [[Engineers|engineering]] [[materials]].
