Is it only multiplayer or can you play single?

It's both. You can play in "live", and interact with others, or you can play "solo" and never have to deal with anyone but NPCs

Elite Dangerous has got to be one of my favorite games of the past few years. Well worth picking up, especially for free.

I've been eyeing it, how is it?
Click to expand...
I've only played it for a few minutes, but it's beautiful, plays smooth as silk and for an arcade-ish space flight sim it's very well done!

Fair warning though to everyone, it needs a GPU with 3GB or more of VRAM and more than 4GB of system RAM to run well @ 1080p. Above 1080p you need at least a GPU with 4GB VRAM and a minimum of 8GB system RAM. 3ghz+ quad core will be ok, but a 3ghz+ 6core CPU will be better. I installed it on a system with a Core i5-2500k with 4gb of ram and a GTX770 2GB and it chugged until I put in 8GB and a GTX980, then it ran much better. The CPU was good enough.

While it might have ran, it did not do so at 1080p any faster than a snails pace. The 2013 Macbook Air did NOT have the GPU power to run that game well.
