To be fair, when we do start going out and giving star systems and planets conventional names we are going to borrow heavily from sci-fi and pop culture. Case and point is Pluto. We gave features on the planet names straight out sci-fi, and there's now an area on Pluto called the Cthulu Region.
+Fakjbf Technically speaking, a lot of those names are informal. It doesn't really make much difference though. A better example would be Charon, where the surface feature nomenclature is almost entirely pop culture/sci-fi references.
Another good tip is that the stations you land on the outside of don't scan for illicit goods. So if you need fuel while smuggling you should look for those.
I'd like to give you a little tip for quicker transit to stations. Head towards your target at maximum speed until your eta gets to 4 seconds, then set your thrust to minimum, this will make you get to (and past) the destination very quickly. As you pass your destination pitch to view it again and as the little relative directional circle changes from a hollow dot to a full dot go to 75% thrust, this will make you head towards the station at maximum speed without overshoot. Doing all this will take off a good 20-30 seconds off of your travel time. Also love your videos man, always very interesting, if you ever need a wing mate or anything add me, cmdr Imotep Darkling.
Rajukru -> 50ly -> HIP 80634 -> 130ly -> Altair -> 170ly -> Rajukru. Each system has a station whose name begins with S (Solo Orbiter in Altair, for example) and each sells a rare good. At most you'll need 40-50 cargo capacity to carry all the goods, none are illegal at any of the stations. Remember to find a station nearby a nav point about halfway through your longer journeys to refuel. Details (including expanded routes in the area): imgur.com/IFs8Zjz
Big spaceship and the others has to get out of the way hhahaha, it reminds me of Spaceballs, that hilarious big ship and with the license plate. " We brake for nobody ".
I've found a good Rare trade route is as follows: Prayer Sticks (George Pantazis, Zamka Platform) and Ant Grub Glue (Zeessze, Nicollier Hanger) Brandy (Lave, Lave Station) and Evil Juice & Azure Milk (Both are at Leetis, George Lucas) It's a bit of a travel, but it's what I've been doing for about a week and with a full cargo of 16, it's been netting me a cool million per round trip. Tip: Sell the Lave and Leetis rares at Zeessze as the Brandy and Evil juice are illicit (illegal) in Pantazis
9:29 I've seen a few rare stations that don't offer refueling. Good thing is, you can always check what services are and are not offered at each station from the system map. I _think_ that the ability to refuel (as well as the cost) at a given station is linked to that station's supply of hydrogen fuel. That is, after all, what fuel in ED is, as evidenced by the fact that a fuel scoop takes fuel from near a main-sequence star (which is little more than a gargantuan ball of hydrogen). Yes; by the year 3300, we've unlocked the secrets of efficient hydrogen fusion power.
FYI Scott... You were wondering about the ship scan, it takes about 10 seconds. If you make it out of scan range, which is around 1km, it will not finish. Fly safe. CMDR L0wlander
TAKE ME ON! TAKE ON ME! love the references, man .. and prior, you referred to larger space ships, get out of their way.. in sailing there is a term, might has right .. in other words, ya, get the F out of the way or you'll be scuttled...
One thing to look for when your tying to work out if your going to run out of fuel on a long route, a solid line between systems means that you'll not run out of fuel. A dotted line means that you'll run out of fuel before you'll reach the system.
Unfortunately you are right but WRONG, yes it shows if your tank will run out, not if it's over your allowed fuel per jump, this was the case in the video. Your maximum fuel per jump IS NOT YOUR TANK LIMIT.
So for any other Elite players, Question. Do I just pick up an item that has a big difference in Galactic average and sell value, and just fly away a good few Systems, in order to sell these? Or is there a trick behind this?
After a FUTURAMA marathon all i can hear is "male slot" and all the maneuvering close to that slot sounds... not fit for underage audience. Thanks Scott, you made my day. Listening to a grown man, coming into a male slot, really make you think (insert creepy laugh here) And yes i can distinguish between male and a mail.
I've been giving rare trading a shot, but I've been running looooooong distances, since I though I had to go super far to get the mega profits, but, I only have to go 160ly? I'm presently in Lave, trying to fill up a Cobra MK-4 with Lavian brandy before I find somewhere to sell it
Mr. Manley, am I correct in assuming you're using TrackIR or some sort of head tracking? If so, are you using a button to toggle it when you want/need it or is it always on? If it's always on, you seem to have a very steady head, Which I'll put down to your aerodynamic haircut.
Ok...watching this I came to the obvious conclusion that someone needs to come up with a way to incorporate a wireless base shaker that could be added either to the bottom of the seat or to the back of the chair that the person is sitting in for a truly immersive experience. One way to do this would be for the motherboard manufactures to add a low frequency USB port so that a transmitter could be plugged in, while still being able to use the headset at the same time. What this also means is that the motherboard manufacturer would have to collaborate with a speaker company to do his, but hey... it's do-able, and I believe it would be a big hit.
Is it just me or does that hud resemble a car? Complete with the air conditioning vent on both sides.. except the pilot's in the middle. laughed when i laughed when i made that connection.. >_>
I've done it with 36tons with a Cobra, but rare goods tend to only be in stock in limited amounts. I maxed out my cargo bay because where I got them (Lave and surrounding area's) had lots of different places I could get rare goods, then I just flew to my home base (one item I got turned out to be illegal, so won't be getting that again as I nearly ran out of fuel).
+blbelt2001 It depends on your ship really, once you get the Asp you can easily have almost 100 t and a really good jump range. But if you have a smaller ship you can use a Hauler like Scott (16-18 t) or an Adder (20-22 t) as they both have an above average jump range and decent cargo size for the ship class, an Adder is essentially the Hauler's big brother and is just a little bit more expensive. A cobra mark 3 (40-44 t) is also a good candidate. Keep in mind that I didn't take into account fuel scoops and I kept the lowest possible shield generator. If you want to experiment and see what ship would fit your fancy the most I'd suggest playing around with E D: shipyard, you can simulate the stats and cost of all ships with it.
Interdiction has been broken for a few releases now. Nothing like having your escape vector snap 90 arcdegrees away from you for no apparent reason... I've never had it work in my favor like you had in the video ;(
+Ben Pople That's really the only workaround, in which case, why even have interdiction if it's going to break more often than not? I think a more long-term solution would be for FDEV to just fix it.
8:11 I don't really understand why it sometimes complains about drive fuel limits. Although Scott next goes to refuel the fuel gauge in the bottom shows there to be enough fuel to make that jump. I understand that there may be some kind of limit how far your FSD drive can jump but then why did the course plotter not make a better route?
+SlyEcho Probably because it can not know how much fuel you will use in between jumps. Things like set throttle to zero while on hyperspace, then accelerate to the "blue zone" to have a better manouver response, having to shiftdrive a little to get line of sight to the next jump vector (when there is a star or planet in the way), etc... (Except for unknown solar systems, it COULD be processed by a very smart A.I. in advance, maybe skipping then when you select "economic" routes instead of fast ones). Then there is the unexpected stuff like scanning and interdiction (or a cat jumping in your keyboard).
+CockatooDude Exploring means you will be spending most of the time far away from civilization, besides fucking up your piloting or running out of fuel(which can be avoided if you scoop fuel IIRC) then there is no real danger out there.
I am...considering getting into Elite: Dangerous. I am *extremely* skeptical. On one hand, I absolutely adore flight simulators and space simulators. Games like Eve Online are part of my collection. I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. I've seen the Steam reviews...most of them are just plebs who can't handle waiting around a little and have no clue what the definition of immersion is. I'm the kind of person who has flown, and enjoyed every second of it, I might add, a f-35 from New York to Alaska, stopping for fuel along the way, in real time. I forget how many hours it was, but it was long enough that I had to stop and eat, use the bathroom, etc. What I'm getting to is that I don't give a single fuck if the travel time is going to be long. It's the *gameplay* that I'm interested in. How much is really going to be added if I buy Horizons? Can I still have fun and expect updates in the regular game, or have the developers moved on from vanilla Elite? Is Horizons worth it to buy *right now* for $60, or should I wait for a Steam sale? Is my joystick good enough to enjoy the game fully?
+you said The main things added in Horizons so far is landing on planets and moving around in a rover, so i would say wait for a sale. Each year they are also adding a new 60$ part of the game. I just wish i had backed when it was a kickstarter now that i know that, they git it all free.
+you said you will get updates for the core game, but NOT new content. That's reserved for Horizons, which comes with the core game included btw. Is it worth it? That's hard to tell. For me it is, I love flying around, roving around planets, exploring the scenery. For others it may not be. You opt for Horizons, you opt for a year's worth of content, only a small part of which has so far been delivered (with more coming in a month or so and every 6-8 weeks down the line most likely). Given the regular/original price of the core game, the 20 Euro extra for Horizons is more than worth it just for what's already been delivered. Given the heavily discounted price during the current sale, maybe not. Then again that price is the same as the discount you get when upgrading, so it's quite feasible to buy the core game now and buy the upgrade to Horizons somewhere down the line (of course they might drop the discount for upgrading at some point, that's a risk you'd be taking). And yes, the negativity comes from kids who want to be hand held through a scripted campaign, never having to think about making their own story. And from people suffering from an overblown sense of entitlement who scream bloody murder that they're not getting free upgrades and new content into eternity, even though it's always been crystal clear you'd have to pay a yearly fee for new content. Those same kids of course are more than happy to spend hundreds of Euros from their dads' credit cards in the item mall of some "free to play" MMO...
I got into the game a few months ago, and I've actually got the same flight stick you do. The framework of the game itself is amazing. The flight model feels great, the combat is engaging and challenging. My problem is that the world, for the most part, feels empty. Frontier just hasn't done much yet to flesh out this galaxy they've created. I say "yet" because they're still adding stuff in. While I really do enjoy some of the bounty-hunting stuff, I enjoy it for its own sake. I collect bounties to get money which I use for bigger ships to collect more bounties. If the flight/combat wasn't so good, I don't know if I'd play it much. Personally, I'd wait for a sale, but you may enjoy it for entirely different reasons.
Thanks guys, I am now the happy owner of a lightly used Cobra MKIII. This game has blown me away more times than I can count. In the 3 days that I have owned it, I have put 47 hours into the game. I regret absolutely nothing.
If I look at this, the profits of bounty hunting are so much better. Or does that change when you have a bigger ship with more cargo? Because I earn like approx 500k each hunting session.
+SerpentNLD I was about to say the same. Scotts profit was sth around 140k, You get that form "last hitting" a Python or Anaconda in High Intensivity Mining sites. Time it takes for 1000k session is under 30 min.
+SerpentNLD With a small ship you are better of to go bounty hunting first. Provided you find the right system with pristine metal rings and a good station and you have the correct ship and equipment mining is equally as profitalbe.
+Jamming87 those Fer-de-lances are even better usually >200k after scanning ^^. And today I was able to make like around 1.6mil./h which is nice I guess :P. But what I'm wondering about, what's better to do hour wise. Bounty hunting: 1.5mil - 2mil/h is easily possible I think, and I'm still in a beefed up Viper mkIV (lovely ship btw, only a bit clunky compared to the mkIII but being able to fit a larger powerplant is really awesome) Trading: 500k/h probably or a bit less? With starter(ish) ships Mining: have no clue, the start up with it is slow and you get bothered a lot by pirates. But with like a Cobra it could be around 300k/h I guess if you have an average spot. Exploring is the least profitable I assume, probably it's better to do it as a hobby when you are travelling between the stars.
SerpentNLD Trading profits depend on your rank and ship size as well as the system you're in. An online buddy of me is broker on the way to entrepeneur(no clue how to spell that word). He has a Asp Explorer refitted for cargo capacity with 104 t capacity. He averages 6 mill profits for a cargo run of often illegal goods. Typically you need to transport those ~450 light years. Cargo runs can be incredibly profitable. You can also find systems that sell resources below marked value and sell it to neighboring systems that have a high demand of those. You get a lucky combo, you can make 25 mill per hour. Mining is dependend on the ship. You have a Lakon Type 6 or and Asp Explorer or anything bigger and you typically look at 1.5 mill/hour provided you mine in systems with pristine metal rings and only asteroids with high value materials. That is a dangerous thing to do though. Pirates LOVE to attack you with a full cargo hold on the way back to the station. I advise doing such thing in wings where the other members are bounty hunting in the resource site until your cargo is full and then return with you to help you out when you get attacked. Bounty hunting profits are largest in hazardous resource sites at ~1.5 million per hour when you go solo. Powerful combat ship required. Anything weaker than Vulture not recommended to do that alone. Vultures are (in my eyes) hand down the best fighting power for money fighters. They give the 4th largest combat bond payout if you kill them in a conflict zone. More powerful ships than the vulture are: -Federal Gunship, Federal Assault Ship, Fer-de-Lance, Anaconda, Imperial Clipper, Imperial Cutter, Federal Corvette and the Python (very expensive ships) Hazardous Resource sites also have the best asteroids. So for going mining I suggest flying near such a site and instead of doing a safe drop into it you "ram" yourself into the belt in supercruise near it. This way you can mine undisturbed and also have good asteroids to mine. Move ~2 minutes at top speed away from your drop spot. Pirates LOVE to follow you out of warp and are generally ANNOYING.
I feel that some time later in development, the devs should add a larger element of RP, such as wondering through stations or ships, that'd make the community a tad larger for, while certainly not negligible, a small amount of effort outside of decorating.
Im not sure if Elite wants to go in that direction. I would love to see better missions. When you do an epic hostage rescue all you have is a bit of text. I wish that would be a bit more emersive and alive.
Shardar 1 I don't mean full on cities and stuff, but like what Star Citizen did with the cities, something similar, with special services there are the possibility of RP, your idea also sounds good, riddles and shit.
+Cameron McAllister Walking around starports and stuff would be awsome. Obtaining inofficial missions in a dark alley sounds great. I dont think missions like the one Scott does in his last Star Citizen video would come to Elite.
+Shardar 1 They have said they plan to have walking around starports and ships, when they were talking about Avatar creation and multicrew ships they mentioned it was all leading towards being able to get up and walk around.
+Scott Manley: were you joking about Clark-ee's spelling? It's sometimes hard to tell on the Internet whether something is satire or serious. He was Sir Arthur C. Clarke, with an E.
Quick question: Eve online or Star cizien or No man's sky or Elite dangerous? I don't wanna pay monthly for online (like in WoW - i hate games with that concept) I would be pleased if it had fps, but would love to explore lots of planets(like in no man's sky) I also would love to be able to walk insider your own spaceship and stuff :) I hope you get the idea, i would really apreciate every single recommandation!
+thaGkillah I own Elite and SC and ED was pretty much a huge disappointment, it`s pretty much devoid of content, cold, grind without purpose and most ppl play offline (not to mention the fact the it resembles a beta release not a full game, it`s that full of bugs and shitty mechanics, no trading between players bro, no docking two ships in outter space, they don`t do docking in the future, apparently it is lame). Also, the business model ED chose felt really wrong, I was really upset when planetary landings became, out of the blue, a thing you must pay for again at full game price not to mention it adds zero value to the game experience, just more grinding and empty rocky planets. SC does feel more immersive even at the early Alpha stage when compared to Elite (the fact that you can walk inside your ship and have copilots/gunners and that kind of stuff does make a huge difference i had quite a blast when i was invited by a random player to join him in huge space craft), BUT they have quite alot of work ahead of them and i am not entirely sure they will succeed simply because they have to deliver on so many fronts and yeah it is full of annoying bugs and crashes quite alot but the graphics are superior to ED ... Eve online is pretty much a mature game, but in my case I don`t like the flying at all, however the complexity, features and the huge player base do make it a logical choice at this point. i have not tried No man's sky ... best,
+beaucoupzero Thanks i just decided to get SC with the Avenger + gamepackage combo. Its incredible how detailed everything is. You can see scratches on the floor... and they look so real with all the reflections and shadows. Its a superb game and it got 10/10 on my first impression. Yes there are bugs...some more annoying than the other but still like you stated you can walk in your ship which gives it even more realism and mindblowing feeling. This game has already pledged over 100mio $ can't be any more promising. It just makes me nevous that there were many delays on the main release. It is set to end of 2016 lets hope they can achieve that goal. By the way should i get an Avanger with LTI from ebay? I just don't know if its worth it. I researched a lot and the avanger was the best bang for the buck and maybe it will be my one and only ship for the entire game. Idk i feel already causy with it. I am not sure how the insurance work after all the research it just confused me more, thatswhy I don't know if I should invest in an Avanger with LTI or no. Best Regards
+thaGkillah i am reserved when it comes to investing more money into SC, i have a very basic ship,a mustang alpha lolz, I agree, the game has alot of potential but i`ll dig deeper into my pockets when it will be released.
+Scott Manley That's good to hear that you're pre-ordering. I hope you'll share your impressions of it. What's causing you to be reticent about making videos with it?
OMG I so badly want this game!!! Should I wait for the Horizons beta to be over and buy it then (because it's currently like AUS $80) or should I buy the stand-alone and Horizons separately??
Brock Marshall Yeah it's way cheaper to buy horizons, there's really no reason to buy just the base game unless you really don't care about planet landings and the future content that will come with horizons.
Eight minutes to get from one interesting system to another? I understand that it's a multiplayer game, so you can't have time warp or fast travel. But to me I think that would just feel like one really long loading screen, but you can't just walk away since you still need to babysit it. I was really hyped for it too, but I guess it's not for me. (Also I don't have a joystick, and I get the feeling that mouse and keyboard aren't very good controls for it.)
+Starius2 I'm not entirely sure. It's probably different ship to ship. It's easy enough to figure out by counting the blocks and dividing that out of your fuel tank's max. My ship has a large tank and doesn't have the blocks anymore.
I love listening to you talk and i can easily understand your words, but every time you say "explorer," it sounds like you are calling it an "exoploder." Great amusement has been gotten out of this enunciation difference. Thanks!
+Scott Manley You seem to be knowledgeable at the game, would you recommend me buying it? I'm mostly turned off by the lack of a Linux port (Frontier, please!), but if I were to grab it on a decent sale, would it be worth it? All I have for HOTAS is a single joystick, but it has a thumb hat and a little lever for throttle.
+Cameron McAllister It takes far less time than flying out to a station, dropping, docking, taking off, and warping out again. On a 200+ ly circuit that adds up in a hurry.
I think trading is not worth it, you can get more money by killing 2 ships in a combat-zone (takes about 2-3 min) than Scott made on this trading run. But it is up to everyone what they want to do.
+Space Pelican Yeah, although to be fair if you get a bigger ship and start running a full rare goods loop it's more profitable. Bounty hunting is a great way to make money though.
If you go far to deliver the goods, you gain twice the average value for rare commodities. In that one, yo would gan 16k for each one. ask yo why you are putting a beta play if the horizon already released? I think this one is an old play, with new audio info. ;)
YES SCOTT YOU ARE KIDDING If you are kidding, you are kidding If you are kidding about kidding, you are kidding again Teach Skye how to smuggle, i bet she can make more profit
"Which means that it's not particularly bright...." Well, yeah, but it's got a nice personality, at least! One crucial tip for smugglers: If you approach a station (not an outpost) from the direction of the planet it's orbiting, you will almost always drop out of supercruise with the entrance in sight (if not directly ahead, then at least at a shallow angle). Just be aware that human pirates will likely know this too.... (And NPC ships usually take about six to ten seconds to finish a scan if you stay in range the whole time. I've read that you can interrupt law enforcement scans by targeting them and raising your hardpoints; the NPCs will stop the scan to do the same, buying you a few extra seconds to get away.)
Scottish people smuggling wiskey. You couldn't make it up if you tried. There should be more of us scotts in space...with wiskey. Just wanted to add that submitting to an Interdiction will dramatically reduce the cooldown time of your FSD, compared with being dragged out of SC.
Its not a game everybody enjoys. The game doesnt motivate you. You have to motivate yourself if that makes sence. You decide what you want to do. I think trading is boring. I like bounty hunting and close calls facing of a anaconda. You can do a lot in the game. Bigger ships do require a lot of grinding.
+Veikkaz zukkeli The only logical way to make money in the beginning is bounty hunting, which is a weird decision by the developers: all the money Scott made in this video u can make by just killing one anaconda in 2 minutes, which is easy if u have 3 security ships firing on it. The game mostly doesnt make sense but it is the best space simulation game u can have at the moment.
You dont need so long to get into it. At the very start I wrote down what button does what. Most of them are them are of little use. I thought thruster up, that has to be the button I throttle up. My first two landings ended whith the station killing me. I learnt a lot about the game in a stream. I learned that you shouldnt attack a anaconda in a Sidewinder and other important lessons. If you watch Scotts Videos you know a lot more than i did when you pick up the game. I just learned about the activ use of the discovery scanner. (I thought it would be just passiv)
Sorry this isn't part of the video but I have an idea for a new series for KSP where you could make your own space agency call it whatever you want but you make this a career mode with mods to make it realistic but I would like you to please use tac life support and remote tech 2 please and do things on the forum too please like forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/47724-constellation-space-program-three-part-challenge/ but obviously you can alter it to make it more suitable so please may you try this
+Triple Six I believe that Frontier wants to include the PS4 but hasn't yet because of some things to work out with Sony. My sources are a memory of an year old+ interview from when the game was still in Beta, so if anyone has more up to date information and sources it would be nice if you would share it.
I bought this and all future expansions during the beta. I can't concentrate my patience longer than a couple of hours. Mission descriptions are vague and I have to use google to find out how they are completed. Progress is incredibly slow. The flight mechanic that causes you to spend most of your travel time slowing down on your approach, is so frustrating, even when you do it correctly. It just doesn't feel fun. Can't they hire a writer and give the game a narrative? How about an interactive tutorial series of missions with a mentor character? It's just so lifeless and lacking in humanity. Boring, matter-of-fact text everywhere.
+Kael There is a narrative, you need to read Galnet. It's not hard to find. Supercruise travel is fun to plenty of people. Fun is subjective, so you mean "it just doesn't feel fun to me". I think it is a ton of fun. Elite does not hold your hand, thank god. No mentors, no interactive tutorials. This isn't some dumbed down FPS shooter. And no there won't be cutscenes. Is there some sort of major issue with you playing the game for a few hours and then stopping? There are plenty of great games that I play for a few hours and then stop. "It's just so lifeless and lacking in humanity. Boring, matter-of-fact text everywhere." I can tell you really like cutscenes.
To be fair, when we do start going out and giving star systems and planets conventional names we are going to borrow heavily from sci-fi and pop culture. Case and point is Pluto. We gave features on the planet names straight out sci-fi, and there's now an area on Pluto called the Cthulu Region.
+Fakjbf Just like people naming planets in our solar system borrowed from their culture (myths mostly)
+Fakjbf Star-base enterprise
Separate issue but awesome icon
+Fakjbf Seeing where things are going right now, on this planets, the chances for the human race to survive long enough for that are extremely low...
+Fakjbf Technically speaking, a lot of those names are informal. It doesn't really make much difference though.
A better example would be Charon, where the surface feature nomenclature is almost entirely pop culture/sci-fi references.
It's really cool that they named a station after Robert Vaughn's character from The Man From UNCLE tv show. ;)
+darkether They also named a station after the town of Biggs in California.
+Scott Manley Or Biggs Darklighter the X-wing pilot?
maybe so:P
I love how the black market is just up normally in the UI. Not very "black"
Your ship is more of a Centurion Pigeon than a Millennium Falcon.
You're being generous. I'd rate it a Biannual Magpie.
monthly cassowary?
+Juno Berries I'd say it was a weekly Kiwi.
+but kiwis cant kills :(
How bout NYC rat pigeon tat shits green and white mucus on ur just washed windshield .huh how bout that one
Best dude on TH-cam. Well done sir. Love the science and gaming combo
Love the way you cut all the jumps in sequence, was really cool.
Another good tip is that the stations you land on the outside of don't scan for illicit goods. So if you need fuel while smuggling you should look for those.
always like your videos. tks much
YES! Scott I didn't know you did elite dangerous videos lol Always watched your kerbal videos! Glad to be able to follow you in another game!
I'd like to give you a little tip for quicker transit to stations.
Head towards your target at maximum speed until your eta gets to 4 seconds, then set your thrust to minimum, this will make you get to (and past) the destination very quickly.
As you pass your destination pitch to view it again and as the little relative directional circle changes from a hollow dot to a full dot go to 75% thrust, this will make you head towards the station at maximum speed without overshoot.
Doing all this will take off a good 20-30 seconds off of your travel time.
Also love your videos man, always very interesting, if you ever need a wing mate or anything add me, cmdr Imotep Darkling.
I've been waiting for this one
Watching these makes me want to pull out my joystick and play ED again. Be interesting to see all the changes they've made in the last year.
Rajukru -> 50ly -> HIP 80634 -> 130ly -> Altair -> 170ly -> Rajukru.
Each system has a station whose name begins with S (Solo Orbiter in Altair, for example) and each sells a rare good. At most you'll need 40-50 cargo capacity to carry all the goods, none are illegal at any of the stations. Remember to find a station nearby a nav point about halfway through your longer journeys to refuel.
Details (including expanded routes in the area): imgur.com/IFs8Zjz
For fuel, there's also fuel scoops which allow you to get fuel from certain star types. (O, B, A, F, G, K, M)
Big spaceship and the others has to get out of the way hhahaha, it reminds me of Spaceballs, that hilarious big ship and with the license plate. " We brake for nobody ".
Pro tips chaff launchers prevent scans of any type being performed on your ship you can use it to advise detection when carrying illegal goods
IIRC with Coriolis you can just target it and see the arrows directing to mailslot. I usually target station first, request dock later.
Off to play some Elite right now, saving up for an exploration ship to add to my growing collection by bounty hunting in my Viper Mk. IV!
Oooooh I like it Scott :)
Wow.. Your space craft use roughly the same fuel pr hour at docking speed, as an A320 uses pr engine, at idle.
Scott saying "exploder" gets me every time...
I've found a good Rare trade route is as follows:
Prayer Sticks (George Pantazis, Zamka Platform) and Ant Grub Glue (Zeessze, Nicollier Hanger)
Brandy (Lave, Lave Station) and Evil Juice & Azure Milk (Both are at Leetis, George Lucas)
It's a bit of a travel, but it's what I've been doing for about a week and with a full cargo of 16, it's been netting me a cool million per round trip.
Tip: Sell the Lave and Leetis rares at Zeessze as the Brandy and Evil juice are illicit (illegal) in Pantazis
Just got started.
Current in a Hauler. Just about to leave on a Scanning trip to fund the next ship.
9:29 I've seen a few rare stations that don't offer refueling. Good thing is, you can always check what services are and are not offered at each station from the system map.
I _think_ that the ability to refuel (as well as the cost) at a given station is linked to that station's supply of hydrogen fuel. That is, after all, what fuel in ED is, as evidenced by the fact that a fuel scoop takes fuel from near a main-sequence star (which is little more than a gargantuan ball of hydrogen).
Yes; by the year 3300, we've unlocked the secrets of efficient hydrogen fusion power.
On the other hand, we would love for you to read the equivalent of the Stornaway Gazette during moments of downtime. :)
FYI Scott... You were wondering about the ship scan, it takes about 10 seconds. If you make it out of scan range, which is around 1km, it will not finish.
Fly safe.
CMDR L0wlander
18:55 Dat Asp...
TAKE ME ON! TAKE ON ME! love the references, man .. and prior, you referred to larger space ships, get out of their way.. in sailing there is a term, might has right .. in other words, ya, get the F out of the way or you'll be scuttled...
Directional Scanner, all ships comes equipped with this.
Too much Eve i suppose? It's called Discovery Scanner here :)
Eve online is based off of the original Elite.
One thing to look for when your tying to work out if your going to run out of fuel on a long route, a solid line between systems means that you'll not run out of fuel. A dotted line means that you'll run out of fuel before you'll reach the system.
+Colin Ford oh thanks man..ive been playing forever and i didnt know that
Your welcome. All part of the service. ;-)
Unfortunately you are right but WRONG, yes it shows if your tank will run out, not if it's over your allowed fuel per jump, this was the case in the video. Your maximum fuel per jump IS NOT YOUR TANK LIMIT.
I've been to Jacques Station, and wondered why it moved. So that's why.
So for any other Elite players, Question. Do I just pick up an item that has a big difference in Galactic average and sell value, and just fly away a good few Systems, in order to sell these? Or is there a trick behind this?
After a FUTURAMA marathon all i can hear is "male slot" and all the maneuvering close to that slot sounds... not fit for underage audience.
Thanks Scott, you made my day.
Listening to a grown man, coming into a male slot, really make you think (insert creepy laugh here)
And yes i can distinguish between male and a mail.
i was prayiing everyday to god that someday i have decent laptop to play this game.. beautiful game
The systems map tells you what the station offers.
Oh man, after this video I can't hear the hyperspace-jumpout-sound anymore :D
I've been giving rare trading a shot, but I've been running looooooong distances, since I though I had to go super far to get the mega profits, but, I only have to go 160ly? I'm presently in Lave, trying to fill up a Cobra MK-4 with Lavian brandy before I find somewhere to sell it
Mr. Manley, am I correct in assuming you're using TrackIR or some sort of head tracking? If so, are you using a button to toggle it when you want/need it or is it always on? If it's always on, you seem to have a very steady head, Which I'll put down to your aerodynamic haircut.
19:00 Scott's ADD takes over
You need to fly the Keelback if you want to be in the thing closest to the Millennium Falcon.
There are some outposts that do not have refueling.
naw, here I was hoping you'd call the fuel rats and get rescued... :P
Ok...watching this I came to the obvious conclusion that someone needs to come up with a way to incorporate a wireless base shaker that could be added either to the bottom of the seat or to the back of the chair that the person is sitting in for a truly immersive experience. One way to do this would be for the motherboard manufactures to add a low frequency USB port so that a transmitter could be plugged in, while still being able to use the headset at the same time. What this also means is that the motherboard manufacturer would have to collaborate with a speaker company to do his, but hey... it's do-able, and I believe it would be a big hit.
"...But we'll actually go and become an exploder next I think..."
Cool! High Intensity Combat Zone time!
(Yes, I'm aware he said 'explorer')
19:05 asp explorer, the asp scout is the one that looks very unappealing.
Psst, you can buy up to 30 Hutton Mugs and a couple Centauri Mega Gin at Hutton Orbital for cheap!
Huh... I got a Trading 212 ad on this...
You should do a video as a pirate!
Do the stations restock rares or will they deplete over time?
Is it just me or does that hud resemble a car? Complete with the air conditioning vent on both sides.. except the pilot's in the middle. laughed when i laughed when i made that connection.. >_>
Hmm, just sent you (+Scott Manley) a friend request. I'm the little fanboy named "Fabske" :D
Scott, what cargo size do you recommend for doing rare goods trading runs?
I've done it with 36tons with a Cobra, but rare goods tend to only be in stock in limited amounts. I maxed out my cargo bay because where I got them (Lave and surrounding area's) had lots of different places I could get rare goods, then I just flew to my home base (one item I got turned out to be illegal, so won't be getting that again as I nearly ran out of fuel).
+blbelt2001 It depends on your ship really, once you get the Asp you can easily have almost 100 t and a really good jump range. But if you have a smaller ship you can use a Hauler like Scott (16-18 t) or an Adder (20-22 t) as they both have an above average jump range and decent cargo size for the ship class, an Adder is essentially the Hauler's big brother and is just a little bit more expensive.
A cobra mark 3 (40-44 t) is also a good candidate.
Keep in mind that I didn't take into account fuel scoops and I kept the lowest possible shield generator. If you want to experiment and see what ship would fit your fancy the most I'd suggest playing around with E D: shipyard, you can simulate the stats and cost of all ships with it.
just a tip. you cant really click the "previous episode" annotation
yey
Interdiction has been broken for a few releases now. Nothing like having your escape vector snap 90 arcdegrees away from you for no apparent reason... I've never had it work in my favor like you had in the video ;(
+Ben Pople That's really the only workaround, in which case, why even have interdiction if it's going to break more often than not? I think a more long-term solution would be for FDEV to just fix it.
8:11 I don't really understand why it sometimes complains about drive fuel limits. Although Scott next goes to refuel the fuel gauge in the bottom shows there to be enough fuel to make that jump. I understand that there may be some kind of limit how far your FSD drive can jump but then why did the course plotter not make a better route?
+SlyEcho
Probably because it can not know how much fuel you will use in between jumps.
Things like set throttle to zero while on hyperspace, then accelerate to the "blue zone" to have a better manouver response, having to shiftdrive a little to get line of sight to the next jump vector (when there is a star or planet in the way), etc...
(Except for unknown solar systems, it COULD be processed by a very smart A.I. in advance, maybe skipping then when you select "economic" routes instead of fast ones).
Then there is the unexpected stuff like scanning and interdiction (or a cat jumping in your keyboard).
0:32 then why is there not a cooper station yet
i didn't even know that the mail slot is color coded... i guess that just means i's not color-blind friendly... how do i have a space licence?
Says fly safe, also says that we are going to become exploders next episode. Hmm....
+CockatooDude Exploring means you will be spending most of the time far away from civilization, besides fucking up your piloting or running out of fuel(which can be avoided if you scoop fuel IIRC) then there is no real danger out there.
Homeopathic Fossil-Fuels It was a wordplay joke, him saying explorers sounds like him saying "exploders". The typo was intentional.
I love how you call Discovery Scanner something like Directional Scanner. Too much EVE Online lately? :)
I am...considering getting into Elite: Dangerous. I am *extremely* skeptical. On one hand, I absolutely adore flight simulators and space simulators. Games like Eve Online are part of my collection. I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.
I've seen the Steam reviews...most of them are just plebs who can't handle waiting around a little and have no clue what the definition of immersion is. I'm the kind of person who has flown, and enjoyed every second of it, I might add, a f-35 from New York to Alaska, stopping for fuel along the way, in real time. I forget how many hours it was, but it was long enough that I had to stop and eat, use the bathroom, etc. What I'm getting to is that I don't give a single fuck if the travel time is going to be long. It's the *gameplay* that I'm interested in.
How much is really going to be added if I buy Horizons? Can I still have fun and expect updates in the regular game, or have the developers moved on from vanilla Elite? Is Horizons worth it to buy *right now* for $60, or should I wait for a Steam sale? Is my joystick good enough to enjoy the game fully?
+you said The main things added in Horizons so far is landing on planets and moving around in a rover, so i would say wait for a sale. Each year they are also adding a new 60$ part of the game. I just wish i had backed when it was a kickstarter now that i know that, they git it all free.
+you said you will get updates for the core game, but NOT new content. That's reserved for Horizons, which comes with the core game included btw. Is it worth it? That's hard to tell. For me it is, I love flying around, roving around planets, exploring the scenery. For others it may not be. You opt for Horizons, you opt for a year's worth of content, only a small part of which has so far been delivered (with more coming in a month or so and every 6-8 weeks down the line most likely). Given the regular/original price of the core game, the 20 Euro extra for Horizons is more than worth it just for what's already been delivered. Given the heavily discounted price during the current sale, maybe not. Then again that price is the same as the discount you get when upgrading, so it's quite feasible to buy the core game now and buy the upgrade to Horizons somewhere down the line (of course they might drop the discount for upgrading at some point, that's a risk you'd be taking).
And yes, the negativity comes from kids who want to be hand held through a scripted campaign, never having to think about making their own story. And from people suffering from an overblown sense of entitlement who scream bloody murder that they're not getting free upgrades and new content into eternity, even though it's always been crystal clear you'd have to pay a yearly fee for new content.
Those same kids of course are more than happy to spend hundreds of Euros from their dads' credit cards in the item mall of some "free to play" MMO...
I got into the game a few months ago, and I've actually got the same flight stick you do. The framework of the game itself is amazing. The flight model feels great, the combat is engaging and challenging. My problem is that the world, for the most part, feels empty. Frontier just hasn't done much yet to flesh out this galaxy they've created. I say "yet" because they're still adding stuff in. While I really do enjoy some of the bounty-hunting stuff, I enjoy it for its own sake. I collect bounties to get money which I use for bigger ships to collect more bounties. If the flight/combat wasn't so good, I don't know if I'd play it much. Personally, I'd wait for a sale, but you may enjoy it for entirely different reasons.
Thanks guys, I am now the happy owner of a lightly used Cobra MKIII. This game has blown me away more times than I can count. In the 3 days that I have owned it, I have put 47 hours into the game. I regret absolutely nothing.
you said good to hear, fly safe, and don't forget to request docking permission :)
1:10 babylon 4!
Are Shadow Deliveries coming up?
If I look at this, the profits of bounty hunting are so much better. Or does that change when you have a bigger ship with more cargo? Because I earn like approx 500k each hunting session.
+SerpentNLD Big ships can make a ton of money, it's really up to you how you choose to do it.
+SerpentNLD I was about to say the same. Scotts profit was sth around 140k, You get that form "last hitting" a Python or Anaconda in High Intensivity Mining sites. Time it takes for 1000k session is under 30 min.
+SerpentNLD
With a small ship you are better of to go bounty hunting first.
Provided you find the right system with pristine metal rings and a good station and you have the correct ship and equipment mining is equally as profitalbe.
+Jamming87 those Fer-de-lances are even better usually >200k after scanning ^^. And today I was able to make like around 1.6mil./h which is nice I guess :P.
But what I'm wondering about, what's better to do hour wise.
Bounty hunting: 1.5mil - 2mil/h is easily possible I think, and I'm still in a beefed up Viper mkIV (lovely ship btw, only a bit clunky compared to the mkIII but being able to fit a larger powerplant is really awesome)
Trading: 500k/h probably or a bit less? With starter(ish) ships
Mining: have no clue, the start up with it is slow and you get bothered a lot by pirates. But with like a Cobra it could be around 300k/h I guess if you have an average spot.
Exploring is the least profitable I assume, probably it's better to do it as a hobby when you are travelling between the stars.
SerpentNLD
Trading profits depend on your rank and ship size as well as the system you're in. An online buddy of me is broker on the way to entrepeneur(no clue how to spell that word). He has a Asp Explorer refitted for cargo capacity with 104 t capacity. He averages 6 mill profits for a cargo run of often illegal goods. Typically you need to transport those ~450 light years. Cargo runs can be incredibly profitable.
You can also find systems that sell resources below marked value and sell it to neighboring systems that have a high demand of those. You get a lucky combo, you can make 25 mill per hour.
Mining is dependend on the ship. You have a Lakon Type 6 or and Asp Explorer or anything bigger and you typically look at 1.5 mill/hour provided you mine in systems with pristine metal rings and only asteroids with high value materials. That is a dangerous thing to do though. Pirates LOVE to attack you with a full cargo hold on the way back to the station. I advise doing such thing in wings where the other members are bounty hunting in the resource site until your cargo is full and then return with you to help you out when you get attacked.
Bounty hunting profits are largest in hazardous resource sites at ~1.5 million per hour when you go solo. Powerful combat ship required. Anything weaker than Vulture not recommended to do that alone. Vultures are (in my eyes) hand down the best fighting power for money fighters. They give the 4th largest combat bond payout if you kill them in a conflict zone.
More powerful ships than the vulture are:
-Federal Gunship, Federal Assault Ship, Fer-de-Lance, Anaconda, Imperial Clipper, Imperial Cutter, Federal Corvette and the Python (very expensive ships)
Hazardous Resource sites also have the best asteroids. So for going mining I suggest flying near such a site and instead of doing a safe drop into it you "ram" yourself into the belt in supercruise near it. This way you can mine undisturbed and also have good asteroids to mine. Move ~2 minutes at top speed away from your drop spot. Pirates LOVE to follow you out of warp and are generally ANNOYING.
I want the game. do I need to have a beefy PC for it?
I feel that some time later in development, the devs should add a larger element of RP, such as wondering through stations or ships, that'd make the community a tad larger for, while certainly not negligible, a small amount of effort outside of decorating.
Im not sure if Elite wants to go in that direction. I would love to see better missions. When you do an epic hostage rescue all you have is a bit of text. I wish that would be a bit more emersive and alive.
Shardar 1 I don't mean full on cities and stuff, but like what Star Citizen did with the cities, something similar, with special services there are the possibility of RP, your idea also sounds good, riddles and shit.
+Cameron McAllister Walking around starports and stuff would be awsome. Obtaining inofficial missions in a dark alley sounds great. I dont think missions like the one Scott does in his last Star Citizen video would come to Elite.
+Shardar 1 They have said they plan to have walking around starports and ships, when they were talking about Avatar creation and multicrew ships they mentioned it was all leading towards being able to get up and walk around.
+Scott Manley: were you joking about Clark-ee's spelling? It's sometimes hard to tell on the Internet whether something is satire or serious. He was Sir Arthur C. Clarke, with an E.
+Timothy McDaniel Yes, but not Clarkie
Hi, as i know this game called x-rebirth., but this video looks a bit different i dont know why. Can somebody be the captain pls ? what is this ?
Any chance of a power play tutorial?
He did one before power play was released.
Shardar 1 Thanks :P
Shardar 1 Not really a tutorial, just shows off some of the stuff
Quick question:
Eve online or Star cizien or No man's sky or Elite dangerous?
I don't wanna pay monthly for online (like in WoW - i hate games with that concept)
I would be pleased if it had fps, but would love to explore lots of planets(like in no man's sky) I also would love to be able to walk insider your own spaceship and stuff :)
I hope you get the idea, i would really apreciate every single recommandation!
+thaGkillah I own Elite and SC and ED was pretty much a huge disappointment, it`s pretty much devoid of content, cold, grind without purpose and most ppl play offline (not to mention the fact the it resembles a beta release not a full game, it`s that full of bugs and shitty mechanics, no trading between players bro, no docking two ships in outter space, they don`t do docking in the future, apparently it is lame). Also, the business model ED chose felt really wrong, I was really upset when planetary landings became, out of the blue, a thing you must pay for again at full game price not to mention it adds zero value to the game experience, just more grinding and empty rocky planets.
SC does feel more immersive even at the early Alpha stage when compared to Elite (the fact that you can walk inside your ship and have copilots/gunners and that kind of stuff does make a huge difference i had quite a blast when i was invited by a random player to join him in huge space craft), BUT they have quite alot of work ahead of them and i am not entirely sure they will succeed simply because they have to deliver on so many fronts and yeah it is full of annoying bugs and crashes quite alot but the graphics are superior to ED ...
Eve online is pretty much a mature game, but in my case I don`t like the flying at all, however the complexity, features and the huge player base do make it a logical choice at this point.
i have not tried No man's sky ...
best,
+beaucoupzero Thanks i just decided to get SC with the Avenger + gamepackage combo. Its incredible how detailed everything is. You can see scratches on the floor... and they look so real with all the reflections and shadows. Its a superb game and it got 10/10 on my first impression. Yes there are bugs...some more annoying than the other but still like you stated you can walk in your ship which gives it even more realism and mindblowing feeling. This game has already pledged over 100mio $ can't be any more promising. It just makes me nevous that there were many delays on the main release. It is set to end of 2016 lets hope they can achieve that goal. By the way should i get an Avanger with LTI from ebay? I just don't know if its worth it. I researched a lot and the avanger was the best bang for the buck and maybe it will be my one and only ship for the entire game. Idk i feel already causy with it. I am not sure how the insurance work after all the research it just confused me more, thatswhy I don't know if I should invest in an Avanger with LTI or no.
Best Regards
+thaGkillah i am reserved when it comes to investing more money into SC, i have a very basic ship,a mustang alpha lolz, I agree, the game has alot of potential but i`ll dig deeper into my pockets when it will be released.
DUDE i deal with my kids audio bombing my recordings ALL THE TIME. gotta love em tho.
So this is a space ship trading simulator
Hey Scott - how do you like Track IR for Elite: Dangerous?
+Everard Petrie (EeveeP) It's a nice, but pricey addition.
So you suppose you'll go VR?
+Everard Petrie (EeveeP) I've pre-ordered a Rift, but I'm not sure if i'll end up making videos with it.
+Scott Manley That's good to hear that you're pre-ordering. I hope you'll share your impressions of it. What's causing you to be reticent about making videos with it?
OMG I so badly want this game!!! Should I wait for the Horizons beta to be over and buy it then (because it's currently like AUS $80) or should I buy the stand-alone and Horizons separately??
+Brock Marshall If you buy horizons right now you get the base game. Horizons isn't in beta anymore.
+DarkIDemise So it's cheaper to get Horizons then to get the base game and Horizons separately?
Brock Marshall Yeah it's way cheaper to buy horizons, there's really no reason to buy just the base game unless you really don't care about planet landings and the future content that will come with horizons.
+DarkIDemise Thanks. Horizons it is then!
Why so careful with boosting out of port/landing? The shield absorbs most collisions.
+shortnamed If you collide you get a fine though.
+shortnamed He's a cheapskate is the answer
+Aleks Edvokim
No. He's smart.
SomeKindaSpy And the subtle nature of the form of words called "A Joke" are obviously foreign to your culture.
+Aleks Edvokim
And the idea of a good joke seems to be a concept that's not very well known to your types of people.
Probably a good video but i'm left with no idea whatsoever about what stations to buy rare goods from
Please do a search for LV426!
+Lee Pollard Did you know that Ridley Scott station sells Leathery Eggs as a rare good?
No I didn't and that's awesome! What about Klendathu? ;)
Eight minutes to get from one interesting system to another? I understand that it's a multiplayer game, so you can't have time warp or fast travel. But to me I think that would just feel like one really long loading screen, but you can't just walk away since you still need to babysit it.
I was really hyped for it too, but I guess it's not for me.
(Also I don't have a joystick, and I get the feeling that mouse and keyboard aren't very good controls for it.)
Question for you, it says 0.39/hr for the fuel. Does that mean .39 of each bar? or out of the whole thing?
I guess its tons.
+Starius2 .39 tons/hr
NoStereo ya, but what is ton signified by? Each bar? 2 bars?
+Starius2 I'm not entirely sure. It's probably different ship to ship. It's easy enough to figure out by counting the blocks and dividing that out of your fuel tank's max. My ship has a large tank and doesn't have the blocks anymore.
+Starius2 You can look your up how large your fuel tank is in outfitting mode. My Cobra can load 16 tons of fuel.
I love listening to you talk and i can easily understand your words, but every time you say "explorer," it sounds like you are calling it an "exoploder." Great amusement has been gotten out of this enunciation difference. Thanks!
Scott, Whats the highest bounty you've ever had on your head? 1
why do u not have a fuel scoop
and why did u sell for 5k when u should of sold for 16k
+whitewolf147 if you know what you're doing and don't jump until you're out of fuel, you won't need one.
+whitewolf147 It saves barely any money tbh and it takes time+weight
+whitewolf147 I don't have a fuel scoop because I'm trying to introduce bits of the game slowly, when we go exploring the fuel scoop will be added.
+Scott Manley You seem to be knowledgeable at the game, would you recommend me buying it? I'm mostly turned off by the lack of a Linux port (Frontier, please!), but if I were to grab it on a decent sale, would it be worth it?
All I have for HOTAS is a single joystick, but it has a thumb hat and a little lever for throttle.
+Cameron McAllister It takes far less time than flying out to a station, dropping, docking, taking off, and warping out again. On a 200+ ly circuit that adds up in a hurry.
But Arthur C. Clarke is spelled with an e at the end...
+Cameron Sima But not with an 'ie' at the end.
+Scott Manley Ah then yes, that is quite odd.
That is how you spell Arthur C. Clarke's last name. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_C._Clarke
+Andras Balazsy But the station was spelled 'Clarkie'
I think trading is not worth it, you can get more money by killing 2 ships in a combat-zone (takes about 2-3 min) than Scott made on this trading run. But it is up to everyone what they want to do.
+Space Pelican Yeah, although to be fair if you get a bigger ship and start running a full rare goods loop it's more profitable. Bounty hunting is a great way to make money though.
+Space Pelican With a Type-7 you can make upwards of 650,000cr each transaction while hauling palladium
+Space Pelican Some people prefer space to be a no-weapon zone.
+Cnupoc and they're called space hippies.
+Alter Eggo and the opposite would be space warmongers :D
If you go far to deliver the goods, you gain twice the average value for rare commodities. In that one, yo would gan 16k for each one. ask yo why you are putting a beta play if the horizon already released? I think this one is an old play, with new audio info. ;)
+Rafael Valle It was recorded a few weeks ago.
YES SCOTT YOU ARE KIDDING
If you are kidding, you are kidding
If you are kidding about kidding, you are kidding again
Teach Skye how to smuggle, i bet she can make more profit
"Which means that it's not particularly bright...."
Well, yeah, but it's got a nice personality, at least!
One crucial tip for smugglers: If you approach a station (not an outpost) from the direction of the planet it's orbiting, you will almost always drop out of supercruise with the entrance in sight (if not directly ahead, then at least at a shallow angle). Just be aware that human pirates will likely know this too....
(And NPC ships usually take about six to ten seconds to finish a scan if you stay in range the whole time. I've read that you can interrupt law enforcement scans by targeting them and raising your hardpoints; the NPCs will stop the scan to do the same, buying you a few extra seconds to get away.)
Scottish people smuggling wiskey. You couldn't make it up if you tried. There should be more of us scotts in space...with wiskey.
Just wanted to add that submitting to an Interdiction will dramatically reduce the cooldown time of your FSD, compared with being dragged out of SC.
Should i buy this game? I think i must play like 100 hours to know what to do.
+Veikkaz zukkeli It's not a very good game, if you ever get bored.
It's pretty much 40 assets copy pasted 400,000,000,000 times.
Its not a game everybody enjoys. The game doesnt motivate you. You have to motivate yourself if that makes sence. You decide what you want to do. I think trading is boring. I like bounty hunting and close calls facing of a anaconda. You can do a lot in the game. Bigger ships do require a lot of grinding.
+Veikkaz zukkeli If you like open world and space ship games, definately!
+Veikkaz zukkeli The only logical way to make money in the beginning is bounty hunting, which is a weird decision by the developers: all the money Scott made in this video u can make by just killing one anaconda in 2 minutes, which is easy if u have 3 security ships firing on it. The game mostly doesnt make sense but it is the best space simulation game u can have at the moment.
You dont need so long to get into it. At the very start I wrote down what button does what. Most of them are them are of little use. I thought thruster up, that has to be the button I throttle up. My first two landings ended whith the station killing me. I learnt a lot about the game in a stream. I learned that you shouldnt attack a anaconda in a Sidewinder and other important lessons. If you watch Scotts Videos you know a lot more than i did when you pick up the game. I just learned about the activ use of the discovery scanner. (I thought it would be just passiv)
Sorry this isn't part of the video but I have an idea for a new series for KSP where you could make your own space agency call it whatever you want but you make this a career mode with mods to make it realistic but I would like you to please use tac life support and remote tech 2 please and do things on the forum too please like forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/47724-constellation-space-program-three-part-challenge/ but obviously you can alter it to make it more suitable so please may you try this
is this game on ps4
is this game for xbox one?
+XxElouquent Smile9xX The in space parts are on XBone, but the planet surface parts aren't yet available.
+Scott Manley ok thx nice meeting u!
Is Elite heading to ps4 or is that just a rumour?
it does
+Triple Six I believe that Frontier wants to include the PS4 but hasn't yet because of some things to work out with Sony. My sources are a memory of an year old+ interview from when the game was still in Beta, so if anyone has more up to date information and sources it would be nice if you would share it.
www.gamespot.com/articles/elite-dangerous-is-coming-to-ps4-braben-clarifies/1100-6425716/
+Robert Forde ah right cheers
I hate these jumps so much in elite
NO MANS SKY will be much BETTER THAN any other space game especially this....
try subnautica
I'm sorry I know this is beta but that is essentially no money
Sorry bud but Arthur.C. Clarke is infact spelled correctly in stations name. cj
Cj Higgins clearly says Clarkie
I bought this and all future expansions during the beta. I can't concentrate my patience longer than a couple of hours. Mission descriptions are vague and I have to use google to find out how they are completed. Progress is incredibly slow. The flight mechanic that causes you to spend most of your travel time slowing down on your approach, is so frustrating, even when you do it correctly. It just doesn't feel fun. Can't they hire a writer and give the game a narrative? How about an interactive tutorial series of missions with a mentor character? It's just so lifeless and lacking in humanity. Boring, matter-of-fact text everywhere.
+Kael There is a narrative, you need to read Galnet. It's not hard to find.
Supercruise travel is fun to plenty of people.
Fun is subjective, so you mean "it just doesn't feel fun to me". I think it is a ton of fun.
Elite does not hold your hand, thank god. No mentors, no interactive tutorials. This isn't some dumbed down FPS shooter. And no there won't be cutscenes.
Is there some sort of major issue with you playing the game for a few hours and then stopping? There are plenty of great games that I play for a few hours and then stop.
"It's just so lifeless and lacking in humanity. Boring, matter-of-fact text everywhere." I can tell you really like cutscenes.
+Kael how true that you say the space game is lifeless and lacking in humanity, cause that's what makes it space
