* ThatOneLevel: In ''Dangerous'', binary star systems with wide orbits like the starting system LHS 3447, or Alpha Centauri. You can only warp to the primary star, while the second star - often with its own system and stations - must be navigated to via standard supercruise, which is agonizingly slow even at max throttle.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: This game managed to get [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoBIOi00sEI 3D wireframes]] on the '''[[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES.]]'''

Trivia and wrong game


* DuelingGames: Despite the creators of both saying to support the other game, Elite: Dangerous seems to have one with ''VideoGame/StarCitizen''. This is mitigated by the fact that [[https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14384-Congratulations-Elite-Dangerous Chris Roberts himself is a fan]] of the "opposition."

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Adder ship. Its a tin box with thrusters([[http://wiki.maikschulz.de/img_auth.php/thumb/b/b9/ArcElite_DataCard_Adder.jpg/350px-ArcElite_DataCard_Adder.jpg just look at it]]). There's a RunningGag in universe that compares it to "that second-to-fourth-hand car you drove around in college". Its also available cheap and early, has a large cargo bay for its cost and can be geared up with shields and a laser one size above its class, leaving room for smuggled goods. Opens up a lot of profit venues and pays for itself in a game week.

Added DiffLines:

* PolishedPort: The Acorn Archimedes port of the original Elite is widely considered the best commercial version of the game. There are a few new missions, new enemy and ship types and cosmetic improvements, but the vastly improved AI is by far the star of the show. Pirate ships fight each other for dominance, asteroid miners do ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, police Vipers patrol the space and tow disabled ships to stations... Tempting fat merchant ships can have designated escorts, which will engage any attackers while the merchant books off at full throttle.
