As the player documents more alien flora, they advance their Exobiologist rank.Ĭoncourses are public common areas found at most ports, including Stations and Surface Port facilities. The first player to log a particular species in a galactic region will receive discovery credit in the Codex. Upon assembling a complete organic sample from partial samples of the same species, that complete sample can be redeemed at Vista Genomics for credits. ExobiologyĮxobiology focuses on identifying and cataloguing alien flora found on planetary surfaces using the Genetic Sampler tool. If a team member is critically injured and is holding a mission item, they will drop that item, allowing other team members to collect it and continue the mission. If a mission involves obtaining a specific item, that mission item will be automatically moved the mission host's inventory when boarding a ship or departing the mission area. Sharing a mission limits the rewards for participants to credits, reputation, or items, while the mission host retains the option to select an influence reward. Team members can individually accept or decline a shared mission invitation. On Foot missions can be shared with all players who are in a Team by selecting the "Share" button on any mission transaction panel.
As the player kills more personnel and completes more missions, they advance their Mercenary rank. This can range from accepting missions involving objectives at settlements, which can involve both legal and illegal actions, to signing up with Frontline Solutions as a hired gun for a warring minor faction, to investigating remote points of interest and scavenging valuables from wrecks or smuggling caches. Mercenary work focuses on practically all instances of On Foot combat. Undertaking On Foot activities requires managing new equipment, and new items classified as Components, Goods, and Data offer new ways to profit and unlock upgrades. For the first time in Elite Dangerous, players can disembark from their ships inside ports and on planetary surfaces to explore and engage in combat. On Foot activities allow players to interact with the galaxy in new ways, and also add two related Pilots Federation ranks to master.
