Elite Dangerous is the best space exploration, mining, trading and combat game/simulator available through computer history since 1984. Elite includes Milky Way galaxy with 400 billion star systems which you can visit.
Colonization of unexplored star systems in Elite Dangerous is to make a claim into unexplored system, travel there, wait for colonization ship, haul cargo for space station construction until its complete. The commander who made the unexplored system claim then becomes System Architect.
Trading in Elite Dangerous is one of the core features of this game/simulator, you buy commodities low, transport them to another star system's space station and sell high to make credits (money).
