Elite Dangerous - Resurrection initiative
Good evening, Commanders.This year, we celebrate a milestone - Elite Dangerous turns 10. A decade of exploration, combat, and discovery. Over these years, the game has taken us on a rollercoaster of emotions: moments of triumph and joy, alongside challenges and setbacks. Each of us has our own unique journey with Elite Dangerous, and for many, a complicated relationship with Frontier Developments. Yet here we are, still drawn back to the stars, still eager to reconnect with the universe we’ve come to love.
Today, I’m calling on all of you who cherish the space simulation genre to join me in an initiative I’m calling “Resurrection.” Let’s show the world that we are more than just players - we are dreamers, adventurers, and a community that values this shared universe.
Why Space Sims Matter
Let’s face it: simulators, especially space sims, don’t get the widespread attention of FPS games or annual sports titles. They’re niche, complex, and demanding - both for developers and for us, the players. They require time, patience, and a commitment to detail. But that’s exactly why we love them. These games attract those who embrace challenge and depth, who see beyond instant gratification and strive for something more.Elite Dangerous is more than just a game. It’s a place where we’ve forged memories, friendships, and even family legacies. Some of us now share this experience with our children, passing on the torch to the next generation of Commanders.
A Call to Action
As we approach Christmas and the New Year, let’s come together to celebrate this journey. I propose that each of us gives a small but meaningful gift to Frontier Developments and Elite Dangerous in honor of this 10-year anniversary.Here’s how: visit the official store, purchase an any ARX pack, and spend it on in-game items that make your adventure more personal and vibrant. Whether it’s a new ship skin, a cockpit decoration, or something else that catches your eye, your contribution will carry a message: Thank you for the journey so far, and here’s to whatever comes next.
Why Now?
This isn’t about boosting sales or hitting metrics. It’s about community, respect, and gratitude. It’s a way for us to say, “We appreciate this universe you’ve built, and we believe in its potential.” Whether this is a farewell to the past or a rallying cry for the future, let’s make it count. Who knows? Maybe our collective effort will fuel another chapter—a new expansion, more ambitious content, or even just five more years of the game we love.I, for one, dream of seeing new space phenomena, breathtaking celestial bodies, and the wonders of gas giants brought to life in future expansions. But whatever happens, this is our moment to give back.
Let’s Make an Impact
I know this idea may not resonate with everyone. Some may feel disillusioned, others skeptical. But I ask you to set aside the negativity, even just for this moment. Let’s come together and do something good - not for a reward, not for recognition, but simply because we can. Let’s show the world the heart of this community.And hey, maybe we’ll even outdo Star Citizen fans, proving that Elite Commanders have the deepest wallets and the biggest hearts.
Let’s make this anniversary one to remember. Together, we can honor the past and maybe, just maybe, help shape the future.
Fly safe, Commanders. And let’s make this holiday season truly special, what do you think.
