A new Elite Dangerous player shared their struggle to enjoy the game primarily as a space shooter, citing frustration with its complexity and limited straightforward combat options. After investing around 40 hours and building a strong ship, they found few engaging combat activities outside exploration and mining. The player also noted that the Arena mode, which offered dedicated PvP combat, appears inactive, further limiting pure combat experiences. This reflects ongoing community interest in more accessible, combat-centered gameplay within Elite Dangerous.
