Can you own Territory, Stations or Systems?

[vackillers]

Felt this needed to be in a different thread on its own but I was wondering if it is possible to build stuff in this game of it is just solely a space simulator game. I know that some sort of FPS is coming to the game as well as planet landings, but I didn't know if you could grow as a corporation or something and actually build stuff.... I don't know what else there is to do in this game except getting better ships and exploring the galaxy, is that it?

it'd be nice to go out to the outta rims of the entire galaxy and setup a trading outpost there... is this part of the proceedually generated stuff where if an unexplored system gets discovered it'll randomly place stations and other things like ateroid belts?

just curious as to how that part of the game works? one again thanks to everyone for your great replies i really appreciate it

Inhabited space will expand procedurally. There are community goals where you can help the AI build stations by supplying needed goods to a system.

thats pretty kool, do you get any special rewords for doing that?

Right now the galaxy has already been generated by the server side engine. In terms of station placement in unexplored systems I beleive right now only the in-game factions can colonize planets and build stations for the most part. There was a community goal around a month ago or so where the entire player community helped build a station but there is no mechanic to do that ad hoc at present.

I actually would appreciate some type of player corp or other system to organize players together. I could definitely see that coming at some point down the road. Player stations would be a little more complex to implement due to the games Peer2Peer design.

No but you will in a future expansion

Can you provide a link to prove this?

http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Features_in_the_expansions

And then click on "Availability of giant ‘executive control’ ships to players" there's three types of mini stations that you will be able to build and also here's the concept that they drew

You know that ED is a dogfighting game ?
How does owning a station or a planet effects the dogfighting aspect of the game ?

Basically you can achive as group the same thing as in any other dogfighting game: Having fun, pwning other players with supreme tactics and skills (or getting pwnd).

I'm sorry. What I meant to say was, can you provide a link to an official statement and not some fan wiki or picture of concept art.

Elite is also an MMO. It needs to have more then just dog fighting (and does) or people will eventually get bored and move on to greener fields.

since when is elite dangerous a dogfighting game, tbh i think the whole combat is a bit dull. not fast paced like a f-16 dogfight but rather who has the faster turning speed

Elite dangrous is not a dog fighting game, it simply has the dog fighting mechanic to it, but it's not focused around unless you choose too

The dev's are also the people who said there was going to be an offline mode and then killed it off just before release. Unless you can provide proof of them saying that these things will be in the game (recently) you shouldn't really encoure people to spend £40 on the basis of rumour.

Player built starbases or stations doesn't change the dogfighting aspect of the game... it just makes the game more dynamic with other stuff to do, only having a dogfighting space sim think would make the game too boring over time if there is litterately nothing else to do... but I was just merely curious if there was other things in the game. I played both the original Elite games on the Atari 520 STE and Amiga systems so I do know what ED is... in this day and age of gaming, simply dogfighting isn't really enough alone to prolong a game...

The original was released on the BBC Micro in 1984. :)
