Elite: Dangerous is the modern day incarnation of the seminal space trading game Elite. 30 years after the original game reinvented the way people experienced playing computer games, Elite: Dangerous Role Playing Game seeks to immerse the role player in the same cut throat galaxy experience by online players.

Each player owns their own spaceship, which is completely customizable with multi-cannons, plasma accelerators, enhanced shields and super-fast Frame Shift Drives. Land on alien planets and get behind the wheel of your Surface Reconnaissance Vehicle (SRV) to explore, or strap yourself into your own battle tank and storm pirate bases.

Fight epic space battles across the Elite: Dangerous galaxy. Battle in asteroid belts to gain cover against enemy attacks, explore planets to gain advantage over your foe, or send a fleet of transports to construct an unstoppable capital ship. Create an armada of spaceships, fighters, warships – even entire space stations. Use special abilities to outflank your enemy, upgrade your vessels with enhanced equipment or play action cards to save yours ships or foil your opponent.

Get exactly the deck you want. Battle Cards are sorted non-randomly into a Starter Set, and three additional expansion packs. The Strike Deck emphasizes speed and firepower, to bolster the raw military strength of your decks. The Industrial Deck gives you more transports, liners, explorers and miners to allow you to out-produce your opponent and grind them down. The Escalation Deck allows you to buy cards that call in their reinforcements, potentially saving you a fortune in Build Points.

Control the fate of the galaxy across three battle zones, each with its own mission which influences your cards and determines ultimate victory. Protect a massive space station under siege from your opponent, launch a strike force to destroy an enemy convoy, hire space pirates to do your fighting for you, or be the first to fight off the dreaded Thargoid Invaders in their awesomely powerful bio-ships.
