Elite Dangerous

Elite Dangerous

Frontier published another game (written by Haemimont Games and released through Frontier Foundry ) called Stranded: Alien Dawn.

It's a fantastic game. You control a small group of survivors, each with their own skills, whose spaceship has crashed on an alien world. You need to set up accomodation, find or grow food and keep your survivors alive long enough to get rescued.

It would've been so easy to have written this for the Elite galaxy. They could've tweaked some of the organic life to be more like those we're more familiar with in Odyssey. There are already angry insect-based creatures, these could easily have taken on a more thargoid-y form. They could've had tools closer to those we have already in Elite. There's limited weaponry, but they could've used guns found in Elite and based some of the heavier base defense on the ship weapons of Elite. Improvements to the guns and defenses could've been based more on Elite's engineering.

It's a cross-over that almost writes itself, and that I wish existed!

An obvious cross over would be with the Mass Effect Galaxy. If we could add the Races from Mass Effect into the Elite Galaxy would be awesome. There's that much free space in the Galaxy to put those Empires/Federations in and not impace the human bubble. We already know (approximately) where the Alien Races home worlds are, so you could visit the Asari, Krogan, Salarians and Turians. The Quarian Migrant Fleet would be atsounding to visit, but who wouldn't want to see the Thargoids vs the Reapers or the Geth take on the Guardian AIs?

Also any excuse to have a Normandy Flyable ship in Elite Dangerous; after all it's only slightly bigger than an Anaconda, Imperial Cutter or Federal Corvette

I would say No Mans Sky. Keep ELite Dangerous and add atmospheric planets with living creatures, enable base building, and empire buildinng. Enable trading of ships and bases. You'd definitely need to keep Elites flight model as the one in NMS is terrible.

A part of me would say EVE Online, However this wouls be under a major caveat, as EVE online is based on an alternate universe set a millenia after the collapse of the eve gate, and the speculation that wormhole space is set in the desolate remains of the original himab world. EVE online cross over with elite dangerous would have to be set in the lore of the eve universe, thus either the lead up to unversal expansion leading to the major conflicts between empires and space faring conglomerates , this could also lead up to the discovery of the natural wormhole leading to new eden.

For Elite Dangerous I'm thinking about some crossover with the universe of the Expanse from the game : The Expanse: A Telltale Series, It would be fantastic to see cloths or some story event where the ring opens in a system and we have the chance to speak to Iconic Characters, many opportunities for Elite and I think this the logical one.

Elite Dangerous mixed with Star Citizen. I think with Elite Dangerous which is full of stories and lure and optimized game mixed with Star Citizen visuals of atmospheric planets. I think this would create the most amazing game to date. Having Hand crafted zones for EVERY planet would be absolutely insane! I couldnt think of a more perfect game.

evochron legends, mercenary, legacy x elite dangerous,

if you could meld the two games together, taking the best points from both games

the combat nav in evochron is far superior, having indicators for system plane, and the distance is represented accurately,

the KB/M flight controls are easier to use, being much more straightforward and usable,

elite's jump system rather than the gated method in evochron, and the expansive recreation of the galaxy in elite,

this would be a magic game

Star Wars would make the best crossover. I want to fly all of the star wars ships in Elite!

I want to fly the Naboo fighter, both of Padme's chrome ships, jedi fighters, the Twilight, the Millenium Falcon, Slave I, X wings, Tie fighters or have fleet carrier skins of Star Destroyers, Super Star Destroyers, and Venators.

Hello Commanders

I'm a fan of the Alien saga. And for me, the best crossover would be with Alien Isolation.

Let's imagine that we received a distress signal from an abandoned settlement. Upon arriving, we discover that the settlement is infested with xenomorphs. The mission becomes a fight for survival, where we must explore the settlement, find supplies and avoid being detected by the xenomorphs (or fight them).

It would be epic!!

I leave an image of a montage that I made where you can see a xenomorph entering where the commander is

I'm thinking about Beat Hazard because I imagine going thorugh space in Elite Dangerous and kills opponet with the loudest music possible. Its like you're on a car trip with radio on, but in the space. How cool could be for Elite? REALLY COOL!

PLANET COASTER 2

Of course, why not, and Frontier Developments would have it very easy...

I honestly think that additional content to include Elite Dangerous theming in Planet Coaster 2 could make the rides in our parks look like they were taken from any star system in the Bubble...

Not to mention an Entertainer that is a Commander in a space suit.

And what about balloons in the shape of a Sidewinder, or a Thargoid ship? The possibilities are endless.

Another possible additional mechanic would be to make an ED-themed career mode scenario, with specific objectives and achievements.

Honestly, as an ED player, and a PC2 player, I love the idea.

Seeing my username, you've already known. Game crossover would be rad if it was with Deep Rock Galactic, other honorable mentions could be EVE, or NMS.

Media crossover could be 2001: A Space Odyssey, though the game is almost a resemblance of it.

If we reach over to anime or animation series it would be fire if it's Neon Genesis Evangelion, some EVA paintjob would look so good on the ships.

I believe that in man's sky, because they are a little similar but in the game in man's sky I miss other multiplayer players, I've really never seen another player in no man's sky. but it would make a great crossover with elite dangerous.
