What percent of elite dangerous is explored? ›

And when the expansion is finally released to everyone on May 19 this year, you can expect (well, hopefully) a much more polished and refined experience. Oddysey is one of Elite's biggest expansions. Its headline feature is being able to leave your ship and explore planets on foot.

Earth is the homeworld of the human species, located in the Sol system. It is the namesake of the Earth-like World classification of Terrestrial Planets. It is the third planet of the system, orbiting at precisely 1 AU from its parent star, a G2-V Main Sequence star known as Sol, or simply "The Sun".

Players are able to land on four types of airless planets - rocky, metal, ice and rocky/metal - which make up 61% of the planet types in the Milky Way galaxy. These planets vary in size and composition, therefore having different gravity forces affecting the flight and landing dynamics.

The game has about 400 Billion Star systems (Not sure if they confused this with planetary systems) but no mans sky has 18.4 Quintillion planets (and unlike elite dangerous each and every one is visitable meaning you can land and explore these life sized planets). The size is much larger.

10 Minutes per system. X 400,000,000,000 Systems in elite. / 6 Groups of 10 minutes in a hour. / 24 Hours in a day. / 365.25 Day in a year. = 7,605,141.07 Years it will take to visit each system and have 10 minutes to spend in each system.

The Type-9 Heavy is the largest dedicated trading ship in Elite Dangerous. It's an absolute monster, with a cargo capacity of 300t as default and the potential to be upgraded to 700t.

Overview. Black holes are relatively rare objects in the Milky Way galaxy and cannot be fuel scooped. Although they cannot be flown into directly due to their exclusion zones, they still present a minor hazard to travelers.

Can you land on Sol Elite Dangerous? ›

Access to Sol is restricted, and requires a permit that can only be obtained by achieving the Federal Navy rank of Petty Officer.

You can't land on Earth like worlds. Because reason. Actually it is because 80% of the planets in the game don't have atmosphere so enabling landing on those makes the more sense it is for the best of the game.

If a human were to stand on Venus, they would be instantly suffocated, poisoned, burned and crushed all at the same time.

Yes, there is no limit to the amount of ships you can own, but you can only fly one at a time.

Elite Dangerous' Odyssey expansion won't include base building or VR compatibility at launch.

Elite Dangerous only offers to players the ability to buy several paint jobs for their space crafts. On the other hand, Star Citizen is full of micro-transactions including buying currency, buying ships, and has recently added the opportunity for players to buy billions of kilometers of virtual land plots.

One advantage Elite Dangerous has over No Man's Sky is its gameplay. Elite's various puzzles, mechanics, and exploration make sure the gameplay stays fresher for longer. In No Man's Sky, however, the gameplay may start to get stale as each planet starts to pose the same challenges, just in varying degrees.

1C is the speed of light. In order to enter supercruise, all of the boxes in the bottom right corner need to be turned off, none of them can be lit up blue. Press J, and you will engage into supercruise after a few seconds.

You can't make supercruise itself faster, but there is a trick to travel at full speed and jump out without over/under shooting it. All you need to do is bind one key for 100% throttle, and another at 75%. Per the video description: "Travel at 100% throttle and reduce to 75% before seeing 0:06 seconds remaining.

Hard Drive: 25 GB available space.

At the current rate of exploration, Elite's playerbase is visiting 17,585 new systems every day. That's 732 per hour, or 12 per minute. At that rate it will take players 150,895 years to map the entire galaxy.

As of now, experts have explored about four percent of the apparent space. That consists of exoplanets, stars, and galaxies that astronomers can see. Yet, there is a vast part – the other 96% ~ that scientists cannot see.

This entire system, including its bright white central star and its 10 other planets and moons, was procedurally generated.
