Besides being expansive “space themed” MMOs. The two games are wildly different.
Elite Dangerous is more “fly your ship in first-person”
Eve online is more “click click tactics”
TMI:
I played Elite more than EVE. So I’m biased in I liked Elite better. But it was just too big it felt empty. I think what finally killed Elite Dangerous for me was trying to make the trip Sol to Sagittarius A (galactic center). Was a challenge, but on the way back my game crashed right as I entered a neutron star system and I got pulled into the cone.
I was so pissed, I just haven’t touched it since. Still pisses me off recalling it. Spending weeks of my life jumping from system to system, gathering so much data to only to get screwed by something like that.
This game looks cool but is it better than elite damgerous? I don’t have time for either anyway, haha

EVE is also everything is player built MMO sandbox, player run economy. Elite is pretty much single player with optional coop.
