With Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, playing as a space traveler passenger (or a "Space Nomad") is not just possible - it's genuinely viable and enjoyable. You can explore the galaxy by:

  • Using Interstellar taxis to visit planets or stations.

  • Taking missions purely as a passenger or foot-explorer without ever owning a ship.

  • Engaging in on-foot exploration or mercenary work.

My first 20 hours of gameplay were purely as Shipless CMDR, try it, its fun!

The most fun activity in Elite Dangerous is ship combat. It could be "pirate hunting."

It's a frenetic activity that leaves no room for boredom. It can also be lucrative, and you can also take advantage of the opportunity to collect many engineering materials from destroyed ships.

They're ALL fun! Before I took the below shot I pewed pewed some pirates, raced my SRV around the base, stole a bit of their stuff, collected some exo samples and then mined some platinum. Do ALL the things :)

Trading in Elite is fun for me for a few key reasons:

  • Freedom and Exploration: You’re not just trading; you’re exploring a vast, dynamic galaxy. Every trip to a new system or station feels like an adventure.

  • Relaxed Pace: Unlike combat-heavy careers, trading offers a more relaxed pace. You can choose your own pace, whether it’s a safe, low-risk route or a high-stakes journey through pirate-infested space.

  • Progression: As you earn more credits, you can upgrade your ship, allowing you to carry more cargo, travel faster, and protect yourself from pirates.

  • Dynamic Economy: The game's economy is constantly shifting. Events like CGs, resource shortages, and political changes can affect the market, keeping trading dynamic and ever-changing.

Overall, it’s a mix of freedom, progression, and exploration that makes trading so fun!
