Could someone explain elite: dangerous to me?

I have seen this game, and played a 1 hour demo. It was alright, but I don't understand the genre that it is. I want to start playing some sort of spaceship fighting game sometime, and elite dangerous is on Xbox so that would be easiest, but I really don't understand it. Could someone explain what it is, and how it works? [spoiler]Also I don't have the game, I think it just looks interesting as I think the whole space MMO sandbox flight simulator (or whatever it's called) genre is interesting looking, although I have never been able to play any games from it. [/spoiler]

    Don't understand genre? It's a space sim, become a merchant. What kinds? Legally, illegally (like slave trade) or pirate merchant ships for their cargo Do you want to be a fighter? Pick up a tiny eagle and pick at your prey or be an anaconda, a Flying Fortress with turrets everywhere and be a disco ball of lazers. Kill criminals, take bouties, kill cops. Ooor. Help a faction in a huge warzone with 20 + ships and even a massive fleet ship can enter the warzone looking like a STARWARS powerhouse. Do you have a no mans sky feel? Pick up an asp, fly out and discover stars, planets, and black holes to sell to the cradle systems. After a certain distance you will see no players so it's NMS in a way. Do you want blasting Pvp only? Go I to cqc tournaments. Oh and ed is open world there is a public event right now. Lots of players in that system right now. (Edit: there is also mining for astroids and sell. It wasn't profitable until last update definitely viable and I will go back to being a miner) It's a little something for everyone. [spoiler]"oh but it's not NMS you can't land" update soon to allow landings no loading screens![/spoiler] [spoiler]btw 150,000 systems are accurate to real information. Yes the earth system is there and I'm currently working on a permit to get there and fly by the earth [/spoiler]
