Error code
Error codes in Elite Dangerous are used to identify the cause of a disconnection from the game's servers. These error codes use a simplified naming scheme for easy reference, usually a colour followed by the name of one of the game's ships. Error codes are listed below, and a troubleshooting guide can be found on the Frontier Support page.
