Space is shiny. Elite: Dangerous is looking to put you in the cockpit of sleek spaceships to live out your Han Solo fantasies.

This screenshots come right after Frontier Developments' announcement that Elite Dangerous went into its second beta phase last week. It's good see another space sim coming together nicely.

You can join the beta by purchasing the Elite: Dangerous Beta for $75. Elite: Dangerous is set to drop on PC by the end of 2014.
