Elite: Dangerous Beta Gameplay Preview

I'm playing the beta of Elite: Dangerous, a space adventure game by Frontier Developments.

Currently, the game features fifty-five expansive star systems to explore by yourself or with others (plus NPCs, of course). Combat or trading missions can be undertaken, and a galaxy map shows the flow of goods across the stars. Money earned through trade, missions, or bounties can be spent upgrading your ship or purchasing a new one. Elite: Dangerous is scheduled for release by the end of 2014.
