- Elite has set a new height, even 10 years later... its still simply untouched. o7
With Update 18 and the destruction of the first Titan (Taranis), Elite is not only alive, but still pushing the envelope for a game of its kind. Frontier, you have outdone yourself. - เกม
I gotta get back into elite.
That’s what I was thinking 😅 I didn’t expect the war to get this big! I was more of an explorer but I would have totally taken part!
Fr. I remember running into one of those ships by chance waaaayy back…i was high asf n thought i was tripping out
Please teach me how to warp!
@@grindedfranz do you actually need help? Or is this a joke that went over my head.
@@braydenj03 nah im confused too
You know what would be fucking wack? If it turns out the titans weren't even warships.
lmao imagine just having some massive fucking tharg capital ship rock up, 10 times the size of anything we'd ever seen
From my understanding, they're not. They're more like a brain- or a neural network- for the Thargoids. That's why when Taranis fell, the Thargoids seemed to be lethargic, and in some cases passive for a while until they retreated from where Taranis was and regrouped with another Titan. Makes me think they became passive because they weren't getting orders until they moved back to another Titan.
fuuuuuck that
in the lore thargoid suppose to have ship of the size of a little moon , there corvette can have multiple ship and can build there ship . and thargoid are extra dimentional alien
I'm hoping it's a portal to witch-space
7:33 "I hope we're far enough back"
Famous last words 😆
He said the words right after UPI saw your comment.
I'm personally not the biggest fan of Elite's format but I have to hand it to Frontier, they make some amazing moments that are unlike anything else in games so far. No other space game so far has captured the wonder-factor for me like Elite has, however momentarily.
EVE is literally exactly this but on a larger and more epic scale?
@@FexGeeexcept it's literally not
@@derdox6720 oh yeah my bad in EVE you actually shoot other players than ai lmao
@@FexGee ??? You can fight and shoot other players in Elite??? Theres been like wars between player guild and shit tf are you talking about?
@@FexGeeYou can't shoot anything in EVE lmao you just click on stuff, and then alt-tab to Excel to try and not lose money
It doesn't compare to Elite, which has ACTUAL gameplay
You know this game is in such a weird state, i feel like the game design is absolutely insane, the sound effects the ships yet it feels like the game has always ran out of possibilities, i managed to do everything in the game, maxed out every rank, maxed out my engineers and carrier and then i see this after years of not playing.
Yeah! I was ready with friends for this content years ago.
It really is odd. They waited until 90% or more of their playerbase lost interest in their stagnating game to release cool content. Such an odd decision.
Because instead of just focusing on their own thing, they tried to switch up and compete with Star Citizen. The game charging you to be able to land on planets, to be able to use space legs, all of it, is totally ridiculous- and it's all really poorly implemented.
@@ravenna6543 exactly. we're all watching it from youtube and thinking how the hell would I get back and be part of this
for me the game is good but the grind i horrible which is one of the reason i stopped playing ( i've been farming the guardian equipement for the targoid event but stopped near the end ( as i almost unlocked everything
"Atleast you made it out. I saw the stars and passed away" 😂
Man… I wish I had the time to no life Elite like I did a decade ago. I have so many great memories of exploring the milky way back in the day with my friend, it just never holds up to the nostalgia anymore.
Only been playing for a couple of months, thank you for uploading this spectacle so I can keep up to speed with what is happening! o7 CMDR Aldernel
You WHERE intended to watch it at this distance!
*WERE
From where?
i remember when we scored our first victory at wakata station
was a complete AX noob back then, bud i did my part there and in so many other systems, now we made it, the titans are falling
Same! Wakata forever!!!
@@bradwilcox97 CRINGE!!
@@Flyingboots1 I mean, that's what some players were saying after the victory there but you go ahead and be rude.
@@bradwilcox97 just shut it
imagine if the aliens are sitting on the other side playing that game fighting us :D
Glory to humankind o7
Glory to mankind
@@Spoooooked t-t-t-triggered
GLORY TO MANKIND

What a spectacle! I wish I could have been there yesterday, but at least there are 7 more chances.
Hopefully the gameplay around the Titans will remain available in the future one way or another.
I wish the console version wasn't a dead end...
Same broo it’s BS they straight up abandoned it.
Is it really a dead end? I was hoping to try it but don't have the ability to get a PC to play it. Should I still try on console?
@@georgetaggart7714 it will no longer receive updates on console. You can still play with friends. It is a great game and still worth playing. But if you want new content, play it on PC.
@@georgetaggart7714No. Unless it's like 5 bucks don't waste your money. Space already feels dead in general but the console version ACTUALLY being dead doesn't help it. There's almost no fun to be had on console. Saying this as someone who's played on both console and pc. Even bought twin thrustmaster joysticks for the game and still didn't stick with it very long.
considering it sales all the time for like 7 bucks, its still 100% worth it.
I have no idea what’s going on but I love the passion you guys have for this
I just started playing and wasn't able to witness this in person, but it's still mind-blowing.
Dude! thanks for sharing your raw footage! so cool!! Epic! ... the silence during the explosion... GG!
Great video! And wow I think you must be right! We should find materials in the debris field which will eventually lead us to Python Mk II. A renewed arms race against the Titans. This is very probable. o7
If this war repeats over the course of a few months, ending in a few of these being destroyed at the end, it would attract a lot of players to the game.
i am still rooting for the total wipeout of the human race in that game. so that they can finally shut the servers down and let this heap of trash end.
It would be so good if this amazing content wasnt made for the top 2% of players
The thargoid war has made AX far easier to get into. Upgrades to human ax multicannons and missiles, defending stations allowing you to land and repair whenever you need to, removing the material requirement for the caustic sinks and TG pulse neutralisers, etc.
You don't need fully G5 gear for anything anymore. I have a single size 6 G3 engineered drive module which i alternate between my (otherwise almost completely unengineered) AX ships which is more than enough to get >450m/s boost speed, and with a TV beam laser is literally all you need to attack titans or defend stations.
Give it a try, you'll definitely die a few times but its far easier than you think.
its not anymore. i did most of my participation in the war in a completely unengineered ship using guardian tech, and if you wanna see a titan explode, it happens 24 hours after defeat, when the anti guardian field is gone. so you can experience a lot of this stuff with out much grind at all.
>"wdym, it's not for the 2%"
>has a federal corvette
>has *guardian tech at all*
@@DWal32 The best ship for bombing Titans are mediums like the Krait, larges are not at all necessary.
Guardian tech does not work at all in systems with live Titans and is not even hard to get
@@DWal32 If you don't want to actually "play" the game then just say so ya lazy idiot!!
Official cinematic trailers and whatnot would do this game a lot of justice not gonna lie, like some of the Star Citizen speeches and stuff. We need that in this game.
what you guys need is for the servers to go offline and this crap to be deleted.
@darkracer1252 Man I just found out about this game minutes ago and was feeling purely ambivalent towards it until this comment made me realise it must really be something
It's only special games that inspire such vitriolic hatred like this man how did it hurt you what was the experience
@@darkracer1252 You have 8 comments absolutely malding about a VIDEO GAME. Delete social media, log off, get a job, and grow the fuck up
@@darkracer1252 Log off and grow up. You have 8 comments absolutely malding about a VIDEO GAME
Brake the locks on a door, don't be surprised when the beast comes out....
These were the 'beasts.' Salvation broke the locks.
Thanks for sharing this. I would have loved to take part in the Thargoid war, but FDev switched off console support right when it started.
Pretty cool to see. I stopped playing years ago, after years of playing, because I felt I just didn't have the time to grind away anymore. I didn't even know a war was going on now. Kinda makes me nostalgic for back in those days as it was a lot of fun at the time.
Your voice reminds me of Rick Dees from the 80s. "Rick Dees Weekly Top 40".
Great content my guy, keep at it. o7
The results you get when the devs focus on story events and gameplay instead of pleasing investors or twitter audiences who dont even play.
I did make it to this, though I dropped in right after it detonated sadly. Still saw the debris and even tried entering it (don't do that) to no avail. I'm interested to see what we find within the field though!
I remember venturing out to the Titan Taranis explosion.
It really was insane witnessing it in person.
A good sense of community too, there was 4 of us in the instance, helping each other out with repair limpets.
Still got the event on video somewhere
Playing Elite II: Frontier on my Amiga is one of my all-time favourite gaming memories. I’ve not played Elite Dangerous but it’s wild to see how far the franchise has come!
definitely one of the coolest video game moments, ever.
Still wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.
One-off events don't change the underlying reality.
you only dove puddle deep as far as im concerned.
@@indigointoblack Because that's the objective depth of the game.
It's just crappy grinding with boring social events. Incredibly shit niche.
I had zero clue ED had anything like this going on, that's absolutely insane. 7 more titans though! I might have to try learn this
this was historical moment of ED o7
The little ✅ "Objective completed" always gets me man, it's like perfect comedic timing after you are left in awe of the explosion
Ah Elite, I haven't played in a while, but I remember playing it with a friend once. I gotta get back into it
i wish i were able to witness this, but im stuck on console. nonetheless, congrats to all the brave cmdr's who made this achievement a reality. Glory to Humanity. Squash the Bugs!
But hopefully you folks understand now why the tough choice had to be made. Consoles couldn't handle what was produced in the last year culminating with the Thargoid endgame Saturday. That's just fact.
@@Tamburello_1994 What do you mean Consoles nowdays can Handle basically any game that a Computer can
@Tamburello_1994 you're objectively wrong by miles
@@felipeds3021 Haha, needed that laugh.
I remember playing elite a few years back and that the thargoids were just a theory because some explorers had spotted some weird stuff way deep into the milky way, so cool how they managed to evolve the thargoids over the years.
Was a console ED player back in the day before the separation. Last time I was paying attention was first contact years ago. Incredible stuff and honestly still one of my favorite games ever.
It's too bad the developers stopped updating the console versions of elite dangerous. Would have loved to play this event.
100000% they should get odyssey on the current gen consoles imo
@indigointoblack they can but they can't be bothered
I wish I could make myself fall in love with this game again.
Absolutely wild, been fighting bugs since 2016 when some of the first starports got hit, but I stopped after a little while and started playing the game regular. I picked up a lot of slack when Odyssey dropped and Salvation was being funded. Got to watch that whole thign happen in real time. But I stopped AX again after titans showed up on the scene. Honestly not hurrying to get the newest modules *required* to progress. Casual fun is the name of the game for me. Was a great thing to watch though, been slowly peeking my head back in after the titan destructions and whatnot. iirc as of now theres no titans left? 04/13/23 I havent been keeping tabs on much past friends and combat zones.
think theres still 6 titans left, only Taranis and Leigong have been destroyed so far (i could be wrong but theres surely still some left)
I remember the first time these alien things were appearing, giving a cool jumpscare and emping the ship....man...
I have never played, seen, or ever even heard of this game before. But goddamn that was epic.
amazing. I gotta get back in... what was it made of!!!
lettuce
Stopped playing a while a go.
Didn't realize they were doing stuff like this.
Time to dust off the joystick, i'm coming back.
Hahahah my asp explorer is somewhere in the middle of the milky way... Hahahhaha I don't even remember how to fly rofl.
Made me think of the Orphans of Earth cover art from 20 years ago.
I grew up playing Tie Fighter and always wished I had time to get into Elite. I have no idea what just happened but that was amazing
I was part of the first 1% of players to reach Colonia. Havent been back much since Odyssey came out. But thank you for this. Always a pleasure to dive back into the black space of Elite. o7
this is what trust between developers and their players can give us. everybody wins.
although i would like to have vr support going forward. deploying weapons while in vr in the krait mk2 was something else.
i tried so many times to get into this game, and this vid makes me wish i did. however my brain is too smooth, i can’t teach myself the mechanics so instead i’ll just sit and watch
its not smooth brain issue, its just the curve. its steep. very very brutal to new people. you are put in a situation where you are almost destined to fail a lot in the beginning. you will earn your wings and then some if you push through.
This game looks insane! Wow
Haven't played since the disastrous space legs update came out. Maybe I should jump back in.
Elite dangerous is awesome. They have a faction where they give postmen battleships
Man I really wanna get back into it but I dont think I could
We're spreading managed democracy o7
You should explain that the Thargoid weren't even in the game at first. They were rumors and sightings, and then some players get abducted. The build up to them existing at all was gradual.
gave it up some time ago, it felt so empty if I didn't play with friends.. and always chasing tails in quests..
Elite was one of the best space sims I've played.
We will create new weapons, we will create new ships.
Looks like it's time to have another bash at ED, my imp clip won't pimp itself.
impressive no doubt.
I have no idea what this is or what just happened but I'm all for it, big boom
I wish I had another life which I can fully dedicate to games like Elite.
When they stuck the middle finger up at console players they got it back
The fact i cant enjoy this on console hurts my soul
i gotta play elite again soon
I hope they are not trying to catch up. I like my console games and I used to love Ellie Dangerous. I miss it alot😔
1 down, 7 to go. Plenty of time for Cmdrs to get in on the next one.
Unfortunately, as with a lot of Elite gameplay, this all sounds way cooler on paper than in practice. Watching you discuss it is neat. Actually going around participating in the conflict, well that's just yet another grind that gradually moves a percentage bar that may eventually culminate in something very brief and neat.
I dropped the game after 1000 hours about a year ago. Congrats to you all who stuck with it!
i remember when the thargoids or whatever were still a scripter *at chance* event following a jump....
I miss this game so much. It broke my heart that they arnt publishing a version on Xbox series like they originally planned. I went hard in the 2nd thargoid war in support of OG Zachary Hudson.
not to be off topic, but thats a golden voice my dude. you in radio?
elite is slept on i swear
real
I wonder if StarCitizen will ever reach this state.
i was hoping that the dead(?) titan would drift and land on a planet then the fight will carry on on foot
Not sm weak explosion then call it a day
Imagine how cool it would’ve been if it goes like that and then you got ppl on foot fighting alongside SRVs and ships doing CAS
How would that even work? It would be dead, what would we be fighting over, and what would be defending it?
Also that's been done before at spire sites as well.
LOL There was A LOT I missed because FDev only places updates in one area of the galaxy and nothing for the rest of it. I haven't seen anything from update 15 onward. I guess that's the price you pay as an explorer.
pretty sure in one of the recent Unlocks they made like a one sentence mention of exploration, something along the line of more reasons to explore coming soon?
Wow its an explosion
Seems the Thargoids need some democracy.
ya know why i havent gotten into this?
bc i wouldnt get outta it.
real
Kind of sad I got rid of my flight stick...
been playing the whole time kbam, pretty good
Eve Online says hello
What settings do you use? I would love to get into this game but its always super pixelated whenever I play and it throws me out of the immersion
Check your resolution and render resolution. Check anti-aliasing as well, those are the biggest culprit for pixelation imo
Probably aliasing, elites AA implementation seems to be either rough or broken, and it’s been a problem for years, best way to fix it is by testing if your system can handle supersampling. Head to your graphics settings, switch FSR or CAS to Normal, and put the upscaling at 1.25x
I haven't turned on ED in 2+ years
Seems like a bad time to want to get started.
actually it’s the best time, game had a massive price cut recently, it’s 25 bucks not on sale for the whole thing.
I tried to get into it but it felt so empty and hard to understand I just couldn't stick to it. Great event tho
i we there now im at leigong fighting and i hope to be at the destruction of every titan
Please can someone tell me what ship this is? I want to do my part!
its a Federal Corvette
yeah, im redownloading the game
hm, guess, I'll have a look again. Man...where did I park my python?
no fuckin way thargoids confirmed hostile?! man ive missed so much i got one interdiction when they first started getting active and never saw one again
Frontier needs to do way more to bring back those that supported this game from the launch in 2014. If you are impressed by this and think "boy I should play this again", remind yourself why you left in the first place from the numerous screwy situations Frontier has done over the years. Don't give them another cent nor spend a minute on this when there are other options and games out there to play.
dude, why are you so mad? if someone wants to play a game, let them. you play games to enjoy them, to have a good time, and if you think youll still enjoy playing elite then theres absolutely no reason not to. literally just be happy and do things you enjoy because you like it, dont force yourself to hate something because it isnt as perfect as it used to be/could of been
Funny how all this started because people kept shooting the Thargoids when they first showed up.
I haven't played since a group of Imperial French men took us to war for our home system CR Draconis and won. Long live Zachary Hudson!
I wish they would update elite on consoles😭😭
Star citizen. Is still trying to catch up with it o7
Piro is coming *SOON*
Star Citizen is an unfunny joke against ED. The only thing Elite doesn't do MILES better than it is that SC lets you walk inside your ship. The end. The game modes in ED are better, the Balance exists, the missions are better the universe more enjoyable to explore, the activities are more interesting and balanced, the combat is actually skill based, ED is everything SC is and it didnt took 13 years to make a buggy mess thatSc is
Tru Dat I agree ED for the win :)
In my eyes it has surpassed ED in plenty of ways. Better ship designs, better combat, more active community, more engaging universe. It's still a buggy mess for sure, but I think it's got more potential than ED which has been slowly dying for years. ED is far more polished on account of it technically being a finished game, but as the years go by the devs have just failed to build on that foundation, and I say that as someone who has put hundreds of hours into it. SC is coming along very slowly, but at least it still has it's "finished" state ahead of it
Wait i didn’t know this ‘events’ was a thing. PvE seems more fun now.
Was there. As the RushFleet Cmdr Leeya Geddy. It was incredible!
Holy shit I missed the whole war
No you didn't, theres still 6 TItans left to kill!
actually, there is still like a lot left. 6 more titans as of writing with hundreds of systems left to take back.
Elite dangerous is tedious to play. It also lacked interesting combat, although it seems that may have changed a little. HOWEVER, it has my favorite sound design and spaceship flying out of any space game I have ever played! The sounds and flying just punch you in the gut. You really feel like you are flying something powerful, regardless of which ship it is.
