Something you’d see in a movie honestly, systems malfunctioning under extreme stress and the pilot/captain is just wildly pressing buttons and diverting power everywhere.
happened to me today, me and my friend tried to learn how to supercharge. I did it once and after my friend lost his cheap testing ship I decided to show him how to do it. everything went well, but when I tried to escape I accidentally ran right back into the cone, causing me to drop out of supercruise. it was just pure panic and my friend telling me in chat to boost in order to regain some control. survived with 24% hull and a dead cargo scoop, which made me lose my repair limpets. I only realized how lucky I actually got after the fact.
you probably dont care but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
Ok so it’s a neutron star and not a white dwarf? I never played elite dangerous but I’m sitting here wondering why on earth a white dwarf would be such an issue, considering how close I’ve seen ships get to other stars.
@@Twas-RightHere it seems that white dearfs and neutron stars have the same game mechanic despite there differences. im not an astro physicist but in game they appear vary similar except that white dwarfs have a much smaller jet stream. That jet stream is what will either boost your ship’s ability to jump to other systems or destroy your ship if you enter the stars gravity well. the main difference in game is that in a white dwarf the jets don’t extend vary far out from the gravity well so it can be quite daunting for new players. however getting close to the star itself while avoiding the jets isn’t much of an issue unless your ship is already barely in one peace, with the only real concern being that your ship overheats a bit which in it of itself can be a simple fix
@@Twas-RightHere White dwarfs are a little bit (in a cosmic scale of course) weaker than neutron stars because they don't become dense enough to collapse themselves into a neutron soup (basically they got insufficient energy to overcome strong forces of the nuclei). When you encounter them, there's no real difference between each other because their energies are so big you would become a spaghetti man in no time either way.
It was supposed to be lucky or skillfull? Not even close. He could just stop slowly (without forcing out of FSD) and leave without taking damage. He didn't need to turn off modules at all. He disabled heatsinks and gained literally nothing from it besides maybe getting more heat dmg because he couldn't use heatsinks. He also could escape much easier but for some reason he started to sway his ship for "dramatic effect" flying into this star, its not that hard to keep your ship on track when faced with white dwarf so either he didnt even try or he is bad. His forced exit out of FSD is the reason why he got dmg, more that he would get from star itself. And why he even flew into it instead just stopping, charging FSD and leaving? Because he staged it to look "cool and dangerous". And yet people are saying that they learned from this video or it was lucky/skillful escape, WTF?
I'm new to playing this game and after hours of seeing orange, red, and yellow stars pop at me, I was confused when I saw this bluish white star that was "far away" after a jump. So my dumb ass got closer to it not realizing it would burn you up and rip you to shreds
Hazardous 088 - same here, I said WOW!, even turned towards it to scan. Short story shorter, systems fried, went to low oxygen (suit, I think) with 4 minutes and something of air left, actually got FSD to engage, was approaching landing at base, ran out of air and died
It scared the living daylights out of me, I was constantly rebooting my system to fix my FSD module which was taking severe damage from the heat. But it's dangers like these that we learn to be better pilots I guess.
Same lol. I was in my Adder just doing data delivery.....locally. Then jumped into one of these. Got close, FSD failed at first, then overheated the second time. Had to wait out the FSD recharge while my hull points went down like crazy. Kept boosting the opposite way the whole time. Made it out with 6% hull. fun times.
Quick tip for people to avoid this. If you've played any amount of ED, you know that exclusion zone markers like to disappear, especially near neutron stars. If you watch for an impact warning (top right) you will get an impact warning if your ship is pitched inside the exclusion zone. This works for all stars and planets exclusion zones. Fly safe o7
The actual relief was when he was able to connect that boost with the jump point, usually that's the hardest part because once you're out of supercruise you're normally screwed by the constant motion of the star. It doesn't let you sit still and the damage is all internal related, the issue is once your internals die out the ships hull buckles quickly. I've been there and lost my ship to one of these things...
Those stars have giant jet cones of solar death coming out of them and this this guy jumped into one And was unlucky he was facing the sun as well. So he overheated really really bad and tried shutting down all his modules to protect and cool down his ship so he doesn't vaporize.
@@Tiyratania Very helpful comment, thank you. I know what white dwarves are from other things, but trying to read those menus was tricky, good explanation.
One thing I wish they'd add with while dwarf stars is making them proportionally bright Like too bright to see, but maybe your canopy compensates But if you lose canopy it's like, close to whited out
@@TheTemporum people ask me why I always upgrade my life support. I ask them why they rebuy for more than the upgraded life support after running out of oxygen.
I watched this video years before playing the game and to say I didn’t appreciate it is an understatement... Now I play this game and understand everything my mind is blown at how lucky this was... and unlucky tbh.
@@christiantaylor1495 Because he escaped, in this game if you drop out of Supercruise in or near the jet cones of a white dwarf or neutron star, 9 times out of 10 you won’t make it out and you’ll die.
You're lucky your thrusters didn't die completely. When this happened to me in my viper the thrusters just wouldn't work no matter what and I couldn't align for a hyperspace jump out lol
I had my FSD bounce me straight into a VERY ANGERY Neutron Star on arrival, facing directly into the cone (which was wide and wild) and Emergency Dropping me there. This was after grinding for five solid days during the first lockdown trying to get to Sag A*. Let me tell you: I baby every piece of technology I ever get. And I nearly spiked my controller through the Earth's crust that day.
@@Blockistium Nope. If you die, you are respawned back at the station you last docked at, and, given that you have enough money to pay the insurance premium you even get your ship back
I got the game on sale a week ago and tried it out with my Oculus Quest 2. Can confirm, the game is terrifying in VR. I was interdicted by a Corvette and it creates this black hole that disables your supercruise and sucks you in. I almost fell out of my chair.
I feel everything done in elite in VR amps the emotions tenfold. Entering burning stations feels more terrifying and surreal, bumping asteroids makes you flinch like you’ve been jumpscared, and moments like this would be a damn near “code brown”
@@shaungrady5601 Lmao "code brown"! I had the chance to play it vr for 3-4 hours with HOTAS joystick controls and thrustmaster wbatever thing. Took me a while to get used to .. literally piloting a freaking spaceship but after mind mapping most of the buttons, maan... I WAS THERE. Like absolute immersion. Even cruising without a purpuse felt mesmerising. All the details and stuff inside the cockpit, not to mention entering stations and asteroid thingies. I can't wait to get my own VR and try Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen
@@MaxSpider2000 glad to know you loved it. If you do manage to grab a VR headset, I highly recommend having VoiceAttack. Keeping your head forward and having one voice command plot a course home is oftentimes a lifesaver
@@wolfwarrior1176 black holes are harmless in ED. They don't suck you in, they don't have fucky wucky ejection fields that spin you like a beyblade, they just cook you a little. The black hole in the Maya system is actually so harmless you can ram into its event horizon and won't overheat, the game will just push you away from the black hole once you bump into it. I think that black hole is 22-24km big?
I have managed to pull off this little maneuver exactly once successfully, in a cutter. It was easily one of the most terrifying experiences ive ever encountered in a game. And my cutter was -heavy- with cargo which absolutely didn't help the situation any. The other commenters are right though, you were insanely lucky. Having to dive through the star like that to warp makes it extra hard, but you also barely had to stay lined up to warp. With mine I had to stay lined up for almost 4 agonizing seconds of true terror, and when I finally made it out, it was time for a shower, a smoke, and a clean pair of pants.
That cracking of the glass slowly but inevitably the stress gives in and it shatters is adrenalin and anxiety-inducing but in a good way. I swear I haven't felt this immersed in a video game through a video before since BF3, Skyrim etc back in the 2010's. I see Elite has a lot of bad reviews but I might say fuck it and grab it, it looks amazing judging from this short video alone!
This felt like something out of a movie. The way the white dwarf had those two outstretched bands of light coming from it, the gas clouds you pass by etc. Amazing.
@@zarrowthehorse The rebuy cost of your ship is how much credits you need to get it back if it ends up destroyed, also known as an insurance. Never fly without the credits to cover your rebuy, or you'll lose it permanently.
When it says "Catastrophic System Failure" is right when the bombastic horn section should come in, with a strings section playing a shrill loop over and over between horn hits, tempanis pounding, a giant choir of deep voices encanting doom.
White dwarfs are pretty safe, if you take usual precautions. At least, in current game version (4 years ago Elite was very different). 1. Always dethrottle in hyperjump (use cruise assist dethrottle if available). 2. Turn on orbits visualization, to see exclusion zone (not shown, then ship is stopped). 3. For supercharge, choose the longest cone, slow fly through the very end of it, and beware exclusion zone. Stop then FSD starts supercharging. Once supercharged, rotate away from the cone and throttle up. 4. If suddenly dropped into exclusion zone, throttle away from star, boost, use heatsinks to avoid overheat, wait for FSD cooldown, leave to cruise (not hyperspace) and fly away from the star. Repair/reboot ship if needed/available. 5. If you lost your canopy (that, afaik, cannot be repaired), you can synthesize additional oxygen (aka life support), until you reach station/FC or run out of materials.
I feel this in my heart and soul. I hit the edge of the exclusion radius while in the tail and had the same issue. I wasn't lucky enough to escape like you
This reminds me that one classic Star Trek episode where they get caught in the gravity of a back star and have to use their warp drive to escape. The gravity from the star plus their immense warp speed created a slingshot style effect which catapulted them back in time.
I accepted a delivery miasion, checked the the systems in the route and there was an unknown one! Guess what? A similar dwarf was right the unknow one! lucky i got out safe but in VR it's scary!!
This people, is what us Hull Seals call a code blue, and a very rare successful one at that. You got extremely lucky to get out of there alive as 98% of people don’t manage to escape them
What I like is how when he first got on there was a pause for a good like 10 seconds, because the poor pilot is in the “OH SHIT WHAT DO I DO OH SHIT WHAT DO I DO” moment
I'm new to the game and I was literally flying around one clueless, and by the looks of this video I basically bordered the area of devastating effects. Like if people saw footage of me they would be screaming at me to turn away hahah
This guy: damn, this ain't good, gotta drop outta super cruise to not take heat damage Him 2 seconds later: *I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE IT BACK*
The rattling crack of glass followed by the cold emotionally flat voice of "warning, canopy compromised" is horrifying. If the canopy goes down, you'd just be instantly incinerated.
I had to escape The White Dwarf once... in Middle-Earth... *proceeds to launch into an incredibly long and epic tale, the kind that might win Oscars if Peter Jackson directed it and didn't put too much CGI in it...*
Reading a few of these first experiences with white dwarf/neutron stars, I was lucky this wasn't my first experience especially enroute to Faraday Orbital. I was lucky to have entered the system at the star's side from a red dwarf system.
Faraday Orbital? I've been there before (I've never even gone more than 5 stars in any direction from Eravate. I've been to Mckee Ring in GD 219 but that's it) but I don't remember it being a Neutron or White Dwarf.
HOLY CRAP! I've been biting my finger so hard, in in pure anxiety, all along the clip, that i didn't realized it was almost bleeding! You Sir are an hero beyond any word and immagintion.
Something similar happened to me, but i was in the center of the cone. My canopy was destroyed and luckily i achieved to reach the closest station with 5 seconds before the emergency oxygen was depleted
The throttle was at 0 from the very second they entered supercruise, the trails of those stars pull you in, and when they spawned in it there was no way out

I feel this in my heart and soul. I hit the edge of the exclusion radius while in the tail and had the same issue. I wasn't lucky enough to escape like you
oh god, as I've lately made my first trip to the center and back my hands got sweaty when i saw this. Nice escape man!
Now imagine playing this game in VR, you'll really be panicking.
Fighting the gravity while trying to align with the escape vector. Legend
And that's how I lost my AspX with about a months worth of exploration data lol.
I coud feel and see the pure panic this guy was going through man, I felt it burn
gosh thats the most stressful thing ive seen in a while
I don't know what it is, but something like this gives me a vibe that makes me want to play the game.
It's like a moment in a science-fiction show
This reminds me that one classic Star Trek episode where they get caught in the gravity of a back star and have to use their warp drive to escape. The gravity from the star plus their immense warp speed created a slingshot style effect which catapulted them back in time.
That was romulan's ship incident.
I closed my eyes watching you try to drop inside the cone.
I remember when my anaconda turned into a fire ball. the only status report my ship gave me was "Warning taking heat damage"
Never managed to escape ! Well done, very impressive
I love the fact that you could hear discord pings at the beginning
This is my nightmare, jumping straight in to one of the arms. Hasn't happened yet thankfully.
Hey, I was just there! Lucky they fixed the dropping into the cone problem.
Despite the pure anxiety...
It also sounds cool af
Niko!
That was expert management you pulled off there. I don't know if i would handle the situation so good.
I think that was the hardest I've ever gritted my teeth watching someone else play a game
Damn the struggle to get out of the cone makes you go into the star as well.
I accepted a delivery miasion, checked the the systems in the route and there was an unknown one! Guess what? A similar dwarf was right the unknow one! lucky i got out safe but in VR it's scary!!
Jeez! That was intense! I must have had my mouth wide open the whole time! Great vid!
Started telling a friend about my first neutron star experience in Elite, and happy to find this video. It matches perfectly to my near-death event.
I remember the first time I saw one, I didn’t read the system name so it was unexpected and it freaked me out at first lmao
Omfg. Space gives me anxiety to begin with. This made me want to throw my phone across the room and rock back n forth.
Had this problem once, it was VERY stressful. One cannot just blame you because you panicked. Great job
Jesus christ, that must have been such a big relief when you got out, holy
My ship would have already exploded trying to escape, lol.
How it feels to chew five gum, stimulate your senses.
Been there. Not to that extreme, but it was far more scarier than it looked.
Congrats on your escape.
This people, is what us Hull Seals call a code blue, and a very rare successful one at that. You got extremely lucky to get out of there alive as 98% of people don’t manage to escape them
Some skill in the escape; that wasn’t no luck!
What I like is how when he first got on there was a pause for a good like 10 seconds, because the poor pilot is in the “OH SHIT WHAT DO I DO OH SHIT WHAT DO I DO” moment
Just seen this and excellent recovery my man
You showed a lot of skill to get out of that. Well done commander.
Holy shit, ive never seen ANYTHING like this in Elite before - WOW!
Plot a course to Colonia, you'll feel it yourself soon enough.
I'm new to the game and I was literally flying around one clueless, and by the looks of this video I basically bordered the area of devastating effects. Like if people saw footage of me they would be screaming at me to turn away hahah
This just randomly popped up in my feed. I don't play Elite, so I don't know how common this sort of thing is, but holy crap that intense.
I actually just went to this exact system, nothing like THAT happened though
Cute sona~
@@Spideryote Thank you, you too 😁
Nice fursona ;3
@@AleronWolf thx u 2
Why are there so many furrys in this section?
This guy: damn, this ain't good, gotta drop outta super cruise to not take heat damage
Him 2 seconds later: *I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE IT BACK*
Holy moly, that was nuts
The rattling crack of glass followed by the cold emotionally flat voice of "warning, canopy compromised" is horrifying. If the canopy goes down, you'd just be instantly incinerated.
I had to escape The White Dwarf once... in Middle-Earth... *proceeds to launch into an incredibly long and epic tale, the kind that might win Oscars if Peter Jackson directed it and didn't put too much CGI in it...*
MY ANXIETY HOLY CHRIST
glad to be watching this video whilst attempting my first jet cone boost
Somehow more terrifying than visiting a black hole
Holy shit, dude - well done. Bravo Zulu for staying cool under pressure
Reading a few of these first experiences with white dwarf/neutron stars, I was lucky this wasn't my first experience especially enroute to Faraday Orbital. I was lucky to have entered the system at the star's side from a red dwarf system.
Holy shit do you do the 15574 runs too?
Yeah bro I do them too
Faraday Orbital? I've been there before (I've never even gone more than 5 stars in any direction from Eravate. I've been to Mckee Ring in GD 219 but that's it) but I don't remember it being a Neutron or White Dwarf.
HOLY CRAP! I've been biting my finger so hard, in in pure anxiety, all along the clip, that i didn't realized it was almost bleeding!
You Sir are an hero beyond any word and immagintion.
That was actually fun. Love this cozy game, full of surprises.
For some reason, this is one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen
Something similar happened to me, but i was in the center of the cone. My canopy was destroyed and luckily i achieved to reach the closest station with 5 seconds before the emergency oxygen was depleted
This, kids, is why you always remember Hyperspace Dethrottle.
The throttle was at 0 from the very second they entered supercruise, the trails of those stars pull you in, and when they spawned in it there was no way out
only in elite dangerous. Moments like this making the game so wonderful
I didn't know white dwarfs were even dangerous... and you almost died with a anaconda! That was really scary...
