Nearly died once when I tried to do a Data Scan mission on a High-G world. Didn't know it was one. Then the up thrusters on my Imperial Courier weren't slowing my fall one damn bit, and I knew I was in for something new, lol.
Another good way to land is to glide to about 10 km above the surface, sit flat no throttle, and tab flight assist on and off in shorter and shorter bursts as you get closer. Once you are 50 m above surface then you can tap down thrust o r just slowly edge at -5. Works every time and feels way less stressful.
That was great to watch. I've added Strong G to my TODO list. I had a near fatal fail last night trying to land just on a 2G planet 10k light years from home, my poor aspx slammed into the planet, barely survived, then skidded across the terrain... I managed to pull out with no shields and 19% hull! Thankfully I found a small outpost on a planet not far from the system I was at so I could get repairs. But that was freaked out and stressful! I loved it! I'm going back to try again tonight. It was a neat looking planet with weird tracks in it that looked like a giant land vehicle rolled through it.
@@drefk1973 i really hate combat with flight assiat off all the time. But for everything else i like doing in fa off more than fa on. I wish supercruise had it too because it makes me set some weird ass controls to just move around. So i hold ctrl and use wasd for roll and pitch. I hate it.
@@drefk1973 idk about pvp i tried some pve, i wouldnt say i lost all the time but i felt bad. maybe i just dont know how to fight but also i felt like i was jousting the whole time
Devs should indicate G of planets with some bright font or warnings. I didn't noticed that planet I'm landing is 3G and I hit it pretty hard and lost 97% of hull hp of my Diamondback Explorer. And this was on the edge of central Sag A sector. But I managed to find some very far from bubble asteroid station near some nebula in 20 jumps from me and repaired. That was scary. I sold 55 mil creds from that trip. It was fun.
I did this just yesterday! I was not ready. What a wild ride! The second time I went in I was more ready and it was the most fun I have had flying as of yet.
So the a new record for a High G planet was discovered lately, like in the last year or so. Sytem KOI 1701 planet 1A with 45g. Good Luck! For a safe landing and KOI 1701 1A and other High G planets: The angle you come in in supercruise and glide is not affected by gravity. You can come in safely as steep as 55 degrees pitch but the trick is to flatten out to 0 degree pitch as you are exiting glide. This makes the initial approach no longer than it would with any other planets. Once you exit glide, stay level and you do not pitch down so much as to make the ship accelerate. Throttle up and keep an eye on your speed, when you reach your ship top speed (or close to it), gently pitch down. If i recall correctly, the max pitch down angle on 45g planet is around 10-15 degrees. If you start accelerating faster than your ship top speed, pitch up. Do not exceed your ship top speed, do not try to expedite the landing in any way. Keep making your way down at this pace, no faster. The closer you get to the surface, the more you should reduce picth angle and throttle down. Time it in such a way that you reach 0 speed as you get to 20-30 meters altitude and level with a flat landing spot. Extend landing gears and quickly toggle on and off flight assist to gently descend on the surface and land. DO NOT USE DOWN THRUSTERS. I REPEAT, DO NOT USE DOWN THRUSTERS. Even at the low altitude of 20-30 meters, even a tiny itty bitty tap will slam you violently onto the ground, causing heavy damage at best and exploding at worst. Take your SRV out and notice how much grip it as! Do keep an eye on HP as even small bumps at speed will cause damage.
Rather than nosing into the ground then dragging your ship around or touching the down thrusters briefly and slamming into the ground, you can position yourself above your landing site then repeatedly flip flight assist off and on again to make a gentle descent and touchdown.
Landed my explorer T7 on high gravity worlds a few times (6.7G being the highest). The key is patience. ANY attempt to expedite landing or take off will end badly....especially in a larger ship.
Another sweet video again!! Thank you it was pleasure to watch. I have a friend who plays but he stopped to play and playing alone is kinda boring.. When ı see you have fun with someone I feel sad 😂
Imagine for a moment if you would if they actually hid something on Strong G with it being such an explorer Hotspot but nobody found it because no one has really taken the time to really explore the whole surface
Hm, that landing was similar to my landing in MMX years ago in FS2004 when I lost all air under the wings, and had a less than dignified landing (9:48)
In a anaconda without thrusters the angle of approach is safest around -14 or less. Once you start getting into that 16 or greater category you were probably going to eat it. If you think you are going to slam into the surface level off as much as possible and try to skip like a stone. It can save you but you might die anyway. If you're in a ship that has some drag Drive thrusters a rated and you're not too heavy you can oftentimes directly vertical and boost to cut down on your descent. There is a critical threshold that once you pass it no amount of boosting is going to help you. At that point try the skip like a stone technique. Before you hit the surface go for Pips to Shields. The moment you hit aim the tip of your ship up to 140 degrees and go for Pips To engines to keep yourself off the ground. Allow yourself to level out. Let your heart rate calm down a bit and start to steadily slow your ship down.
It almost seems like the SRV isn't affected by high-g? handling seems similar to low-grav? after seeing how hard the ship would touch down, im surprised the SRV didn't clank down like a neodymium magnet LOL
So since ED's lore says there is no artificial gravity on ships, did the commanders get pinned to the floor and have all their bones break against the extreme gravity?
That's what those numbers are for when entering the atmosphere. I ignored them for ever. Probably why I blew up when I was at to steep an angle when I hit the boots by mistake and bounced of the planet in a fireball. Lost all my explorer info from sol the witch head nebula.
What is your ASP setup? I attempted the Strong G passenger mission with disastrous results. I vowed never to go back there unless I had an A graded Asp. :O
I'm A-Graded and fully engineered, with clean drive thrusters and such. However, I feel as though I wouldn't need to be if I'm cautious enough. Maybe I'll take a near-default Asp-X there and test that. Just don't turn, don't pitch down too much, keep your throttle back all the way, never use your down thrusters, and coast out super shallow. Be patient. If think if you're patient enough, you could probably land anything there.
After a hour or so, you might see a dozen pilots go thru Jameson. It’s nice to see people, usually it’s just busy people who aren’t trying to murder you.
If you really want to add a little bit of risk and more adrenaline make sure you go to these high-gravity planet to land on them after you have a lot of cartographic data on board.
Well that remembers me of that one planet one the first distant world it was later dubbed distant world graveyard cause so many ships plummed down with full speed high gravity worlds are really fun especially when some people go there with an anaconda or other big ships.
not sure why I have not seen this yet, it was great. I would like to do something similar and stupid sometime as well! My personal record for high G is 14gs
Haha. Yes I died there, had NO idea it was That high G and it was almost entirely by chance but I will say it's a pretty planet to die on. If it hadn't lost me a nice passenger mission I'd have just shrugged it off.
I gotta say. I love this content. But imma flex. I went at a 55 degree angle down on this very same world after I watched this video, as that's how I go down to a surface outpost. And I didnt get a single point of damage. Landed safely and perfectly at the beacon. No you see the damage came when I tried to take off and get off the planet. My power plant overheated cause I hit silent running in accident and I started dropping cause I accidentally hit repair on my thrusters instead of my shield (ik I'm weird I repair my shields) That was a fun day. I found out just how strong 9.77 Gs is.
The Type-10 would give you ample opportunity to explore and enjoy the journey. Edit: Actually, I just might take one out to Beagle point... or maybe just Sag A*.
Just realized its been over a yr since i played. I was having trouble with the new addons. My T10 is heavy armored. My T6 has 44LY unladin . I chicken out after my glide failed. Made a lot of space bucks on mapping so it was not a wasted trip. Still 46 jumps
When leaving a high G planet (or any planet) yo don't need to align with the 'Escape Vector': there is also an escape window between 40 and 50 degrees. Here is a video where I demonstrate this with a stock sidewinder on a 8g planet: th-cam.com/video/mQY14Rl7hjA/w-d-xo.html The general idea is to let he ship glide like an airplane and control the descent rate with pitch angle. The trick is to NOT touch the down thrusters but rather if you toggle flight assist on and off quickly, you will slowly descend.
Hi Sepulcher Geist, i hope you are well,, nice to meet you. I like and admire the way you think and talk,, ,, i which i could be a friend of yours in the game,, my in game name it's Flambo 1977 Thanks

Unless you're doing protracted combat or suck at avoiding interdictions, you really don't ever need heatsinks.
