Player chat can cross over to single player game.
"Slaves n drugs baby!" could pop into the comms box.
I would not give children access to this game personally.

Age restriction? Hmm.... good question. On elitedangerous.com it says PEGI 7.
I do not think a lot of children under 10 will get started on this game on their own due to its high learning curve. But then: Never underestimate a child's learning aptitude. :-)

The system chat is availble across modes and some people make comments about the profeasion of someone's mother when they get killed. Not a kid friendly imo.

Re: System chat. Yes it can cross into solo mode however there is a profanity filter enabled default, and chat can be disabled.

Considering you can actually haul slaves and be a drug lord in this game, well...

Can be enabled, too. There is no parental lock.

I don't like swearing in online games anyway, as you never know who you might be talking to.

This is why i say things like: I had improper congress with your maternal progenitor.

And what do you think will happen after that? Kid instantly will turn into slave/drug-dealer kingpin?

There is a lot more scarier (and more graphical) things in movies/news nowadays. In this game nothing like that - slaves and drugs just cargo, different from other in 1 line of text. There is no additional "adult" mechanichs - like producing and using drugs or taking slaves.

PS. There is weird thing with western ranking system, where showing a nipple rack age rating into adult, while showing non-too-gory kills will still let the game remain in "teen" age group.
It seems that nudity (even partial) is scarier than murder to the western morale system, LOL.

Ren and Stimpy were waaaay more graphic and profane than anything I've encountered in Elite Dangerous...

PEGI7 is accurate...

when you see how 7 year old kids talk to each other in school these days, how can ED chat be worse?
