Top Ten Tips For Making Elite Dangerous Harder

Elite Dangerous is too easy. Some people have said so.

Here are some top tips to allow you to up the challenge factor in Elite Dangerous. You can use these individually, or you might want to combine some of them to get that extra special feeling of accomplishment and forum boast power.


  1. When preparing to dock, close your eyes. For those of you with no eyelids you can alternatively place your monitor(s) outside the room and close the door whilst docking to achieve the same effect. Note: No docking computer allowed.
  2. Randomly unplug one (or more) of your keyboard, mouse or flight stick to simulate a ship systems failure.
  3. Purchase seven (+/- two) kittens. Place them at or near your desk. Sit at your desk and play Elite Dangerous.
  4. Get rotten drunk and attempt to initiate voice communication with a random passer by.
  5. Suspend yourself upside down from the ceiling in front of your computer using a series of wires connected to pulleys. Naturally you must refrain from reversing the mouse/stick axis.
  6. Go outside your home and taunt someone out on the street until they become enraged and chase you. Run back to your home and attempt to play Elite Dangerous while they are beating you around the face and ears for insulting them. Note: taunt someone close to your home, otherwise they may catch up with and assail you before you reach your computer.
  7. Slather your HOTAS with the personal lubricant of your choice.
  8. Dogfight using only melee weapons.
  9. Sell all your shield generators and revert to E1 pulse lasers.
  10. Projectile ammo just adds weight. Try loading each cannon with a single round so you can practice your headshots.

Please feel free to add your own creative ideas. A special prize of my unwavering admiration goes to the best tip.

12. Reverse all your controls (forward to backward, roll left to roll right etc).

Only play on special occasions, such as your childs birthday, wedding anniversary, things like that. Only works if still married or living with partner.

Put a random timing power cut device on your main power supply.

Only use ramming for your kills, weapons are OP if you have played since Beta. Alpha backers have to do it without shields.

15. Buy high, sell low.
16. Get a friend to randomly change all your keybindings every 30 mins.

15. Go old school: reformat a Cobra III to the original 1984 spec (One pulse laser, up to two missiles) and only allow yourself equipment present in the first game. For an extra bonus, only interact with the original model ships and only dock at Coriolis stations in the old worlds.
