What will colonization look like? Players will have to choose which uninhabited system they will colonize and then “become its architects”. These will be star systems located in close proximity to already settled ones, which theoretically will allow creating entire “corridors” of colonized worlds.
A player will begin work by delivering cargo for the first orbital station in the system, and then continue construction on the surface of planets or moons. The video below shows the first footage.
In addition, Elite will soon feature the so-called Power Play 2.0 — an improved system of political games against the backdrop of space fun. Players are also introduced to another new spaceship. This is the Cobra Mk 5, a medium-class ship that had already been shown in screenshots.
