- I spent the last couple of months travelling out to the edge of the galaxy in Elite Dangerous, through a barren void known as the Formidine Rift to find a dead megaship, abandoned colonies and more. Then I returned to civilization to encounter more aliens and warnings that the Thargoids are returning in E:D 2.4

The canon of this game truly gets me, it's a slow burn and hard work at times but I love it!
NextHype I had no idea all this was in Elite Dangerous. Is it too late to jump into the game with Star Citizen about to come out?
by about to, you mean around another 5 years correct?
I just love how alien aliens are, and mysterious.
No but apparently you need to be to have misunderstood my comment. The "story" in this game isn't forced on you and you can completely avoid most of it as it's a big, big galaxy and it's not linear. I honestly don't get what your comment is meant to mean or are you just being truculent?
NextHype I don't know what truculent mean.
Thargoids look much better now than they did on my C64.
Actually, evetything in Galactic Truck Simulator 2017 looks cool. :D
Time to actually start playing this instead of just looking at it sitting in my Steam library...
God I live Scott's Elite videos. It's what got me into Elite the first place, but after all those years I am still very much entertained by his content and the mysteries that lie ahead! Great job Scott!
Top summary, thanks Scott - and with the added bonus of a glimpse of the camera suite keybinds, which reminds me I've never sorted out mine properly (PC vers).
That transmission at the end creeps me out. That's the point I know but the sound designer/s deserve an award from this game. They do an awesome job.
Ah Elite... very calm. I love this game
Nice! Keep it up!
I knew I shouldn't have taken that Thargoid ship all the way back in Frontier: First Encounters. I bet the witchspace bastards changed their minds afterwards and have now come to get it back.
The ingrates!
The voice in the recording isn't Salomé, it's the old woman who Salomé got her information about the conspiracy from. I think her name's Rebecca? Nice ship ID, my ASP Explorer is "Space Oddity" ID: GC-TMT ;)
I always love stories about glimpsing something completely alien and straining to get closer to it. The Black Stone builders of Ice & Fire, Guild Wars 2's previous Five Great Races...
love your stuff scott, busy looking into the thargoids and we can level the battlefield or communicate with them, got lots of info so far. :)
I need to get back in to this game, I've been playing way too much PUBG of late. Especially since either Monday or Tuesday my new HDK2 osvr headset is arriving. :) Another great video too, Scott. Keep them coming.
I Think the experience of the big ship refuling or whatever whould have bin so much better if you see if from a first person perspective to really se its massive size.
Another of the TH-cam auto-cc marvels :- 1:35
It's just hilarious.
Commander Harry Potter? LMAO
Also, his ship is named "The Autism Chariot". Yeah...
Commander Harry Dodder, captain of "The Autumn Chariot".
Perfect.
Now THIS could be writen in the book.
There should be a Bounty Hunt event, where you get rewarded for fucking his shit up. This would fit into the lore :P
White Void He's been caught cheating and had all his Engineers modules removed, he won't be griefing anyone for a while.
I've been going through HIP 17044 for the current CG, I gotta check this out now, thanks Scott!
Awesome sound design as always.
TK 421 You haven't been at your post in Elite for a while, nice to see you posting ED videos again.
Scott, if you'd like to find a couple more Unregistered Comms Beacon, visit the Eravate and surrounding systems
no thats not Salomé that was Rebecca in the voice log.
I think that if I were to get the asp explorer, I might call it the Eve explorer as a reference to Interstellar Quest, which has been for a long time, one of my favorite series on this channel.
lol, "if you show your friends your holiday snaps too much, they will stop being your friends..." Hope that's not from personal experience! Enjoyed the video.
As a person who knows the phonetic alphabet by heart, I just have to say that message at the end gave me some serious chills! Time to get back into Elite!
I love this kind of in-game mysteries
Maaaanley! Maaaaaster of the Spaaaaace! ☺️👍
The old woman is Rebecca, who told the story of the Rift to Salome in Reclamation
. The location to find has been in game since start, but they said it was originally an Anaconda and text, and as there was time they upgraded it as time went on with the voice acting and with 2.3 build the Mega Ship just for this
Love The Specials Ghost Town reference.... Love that song \m/ \m/
Nice video Scott :), 1 thing, you mentioned the mega-ship can't have been there before 2.3, true, but prior to that it was apparently an Anaconda with text logs, no audio.
And that how you make aliens in good neo-space opera ;D
PS: I can't say anything about the game but in SF nomenclature:
- Gunship is usually largest of the small air or space vessel, usually in the size of shuttle or between it and corvette. What serve as artillery suport for ground forces or fighters.
- Dropship is military version of shuttle used for dripping commando squads.
- Assault-craft is short range air or space vessel used as cover for dropships.. basically a counterpart of assault helicopter.
That transmission sounds a bit like a numbers station, can be found on some shortwave bands.
scott, it wasn't salome talking in the Zurara, it was Rebecca
the old lady in the audio logs isn't Salomé, it's the mysterious old lady (Rebecca) that Salomé meets in Elite: Reclaimation. She is the source of the whole mystery, if I recall, she is also in the Oolite stories.
11:27 And then the installation was blown away by the engine wash of Lucky's Leap.
The number station is pretty cool
Shooting at the Thargoids with our current weapons is called " Operation - Getting smeared all over space real quick". They are going to own us unless some engineer comes up with something.
Cool!!
Why isn't your ship at its post?!?!?
+pirate1234567891 I've got a bad transmitter
Scott Manley I'll see what I can do
Hey Scott! I just bought Elite Dangerous: Legendary Edition on PS4! Finally got it
it was in the game from the start (rift stuff) but it was an anaconda instead. They made it in to a megaship for ovbious reasons
So .F*****g. Amazing.
It's a voice of the old Elite woman that she met in the "hospital" by the name Rebecca. She grumbled about racers among other things.
One thing missing from this video..
X-Files theme song :^)
It really is time I jump back in and grind for some credits.
In the words of Sallah "Asps... very dangerous. You go first."
"TK 421...Why aren't you at your post?"
Darn I was going to use that one. Lol
It's either a fuel or a substance used to make their deadly corrosive weapon(s). Either one is pretty cool but the latter is quite more interesting.
I believe it has actually been said the Zurara was there before 2.3, but it was just a Conda
Aliens are done so well In this ! Like they are actually 'alien', really different from everything else !
Scott's ship definitely looks like its Lockheed-inspired :)
Those alien ships remind me a lot of the Walkers of Sigma 957. They just lack the coloured lights.
Scott , can you make a video about No Man's Sky tape mystery? It's very mysterious.
how long do you have to wait till the alien ship approaches or is it completely random
going on a trip in my favourite rocket ship
,,I just try to look like mysefl" hahah my CMDR is make to look like myself too :) good to know that there is more players who create CMDR looks like them
Scott, you should get a crew together for when 2.4 drops, do a little 'roleplay' thingy.
Actually, get yourself a god damn warship, outfit it with the best god damn tech you can. Prepare for this drop, defend Earth and shit.
I was in the Heart and Soul Nebula and had no idea what was actually in there
I’d also shit myself if I was SRVing and a Thargoid popped in
That's a lot of stuff in one video.
the barnacles are observation things, to observe human space...
Hey Scott,
I love watching your videos, but I have to ask this question. What do you think about Take-Two studios taking over KSP?
+john jiggler I hope it will help fix some of the problems they have
Scott Manley This isnt good at all. Take two only cares about milking money.
+Scott Manley It wont bring any good, that mutch is obvious.
So, that was obviously one of the First Ones. Ask Delenn or Ivanova about them.
Are there any good progression-based games that have you progress as some sort of corporation from the early space age to the distant future? I've only seen a few games that have even remotely simi ideas and I think it seems interesting.
Ho I really need to reinstall this game... last time i played it was already at least 2 years ago... and now that there looks to be sort of a story... Awesome!
+alexxl1995 keep in mind that it took hours of travel to get to these things, and that's in a ship that does over 2500light years per hour.
Scott Manley yhea i know but If 2.4 turn out to be a thing that makes me want to buy that expansion pass... I don't say no... Already spent ruffly 100€ on it... (base game + joystick) i felt cheated when they showed the Expansion pass
TK-421, why aren't you at your post?
Actually the voice you hear on the ship is Rebecca. She is the predecessor of Salome.
hot young stars, barely legal!!
Odd that the very aliens are closer to home than more Earth-life centric mysteries.
Can the recharge pods (barnacles) be destroyed?
If so, why not destroy it while the ship is recharging (destroy ship)?
If not, fire into the ships charging port?
I've never seen any Commander attempt any of those actions? ;
damn you, Scott
if you reference anything, give links please!
map project? routes for different jump ranges? thread about this easter egg?
+NoName let me google that for you.... yep google us results, sorry I can't post a picture.
😜
If I went all that way I'd want to get in and see the frozen cadavers with drinks still in their hands! I'm sure the devs are working on it ;)
Still looking for that game that will let my fly to another planet get out in my suit, build a base with Oxygen and let me take off any breathing apparatus and take a deep breath of Accomplishment :)
nms
The invaders must be cyborg and the hexedit breaks the software. I’ll think about that next time I try to fix one using hexedit
What was this map tool at 1:25? I've tried googling it and I'm failing at finding it.
Elite:Dangerous Discovery?
Ah, so that's why he wasn't at his post!
This is a really tricky game to play if you are an astrophotographer.... ;P
I need to finish outfitting my ship. Don't wanna be killed by aliens too quickly
Ryebread095 Dont bother, the thargoids need a whole new set of kit to fight. new armour and weapons. human weapons won't even scratch their skin. wait for 2.4 to drop and the new weapon grind, no point wasting time on Engineers anymore.
Are you still using the Saitek x52 Pro FCS or did you switch to something else? Also, do you use the optional yaw pedals?
Love the idea of the game, and the mysteries, but it's just unplayable for me, and I've been playing Eve Online since it was in beta so go figure. But thanks for this, would like it if you posted more like this as new things arise.
Thargoids return. Tells us to fly safe. Yeah, right. Anyone know where I can pick up military-plus-plus-grade shields, boosters and lasers?
That ain't enough, son.
❤️❤️❤️
Almost died at the commander harry potter moment.
TK 421, why aren't you at your post??
Scott, have you read any alastair reynolds?
Could you possibly do a video on Solar Sails and Solar Wind. I understand the basic idea behind solar wind and sails that use them, however; to me it seems to break the laws of physics?
Which part of solar wind/sail breaks the law of physics?
Firstly, I am not exactly the most knowledgeable person (in regards to this topic) and I may simply be missing something here, so don't judge me or take what I'm saying as me trying to prove an opinion.
The part I don't get, is that a solar sail is propelled by solar wind which is primarily 'made' of light (i.e. photons) as well as charged particles. So, taking the example of just light, when this photon hits the surface of the solar sail, it reflects and there is an exchange of momentum. However, if the speed of light in a vacuum is constant, and there must be an exchange of energy for the sail to gain kinetic energy, then how does this make sense. The light must 'lose' some energy in order to propel the sail, but the light must have a constant speed and therefore the light doesn't 'lose' any energy at all? Where does this kinetic energy that the sail gains originate from?
I would have thought that the sail simply absorbs some of the light, gaining energy. However from all the diagrams I have seen, it depicts light being reflected, and a photon cannot be half-absorbed because otherwise you end up with the whole issue of C being a constant.
I am sure I am missing something here; the answer is likely very basic, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Photons do impart kinetic energy. Because light is a particle wave, instead of imparting kinetic energy like a particle, the momentum is tied to its frequency. Blue light has more momentum than red light for example.
That's the basics of why mass-less photon can still 'push' things.
I suspect the light reflecting off the solar sail would have slightly different shade.
Right, so effectively; a wave of light is able to transfer energy by reducing 'losing' some of it's frequency (That is incredibly simplified).
Pretty much. There are way more details of course but I'm just addressing your original question of how do light particles impart kinetic energy without becoming slower than c.
How do you get to know about all this stuff?
follow the elite forums and reddit. People post their findings there.
Are you trying to get to the planet Terminus?
So how long were you waiting to get that footage?
What about the disappearing battleship of Merope? Oh wait, wrong universe.
Who discovered the aliens at the artifacts first? Did they record it?
+TH-cam follower first player to find alien in space was on Xbox and posted the recording.
15:20 - super
Huh, so now Elite: Dangerous has numbers beacons.
multicrew may have saved this game for me.
Sorry Scott - but the voice is Ruth who was the woman who ultimately sent Salome on her terminal path.
#I sorta want a game that is a mix of kernel space program and elite dangerous so like you have to do real maneuvers and it would also be cool plus Scott manly would play it. Is this too long of a hashtag
Great, more pew pew in a game with too much pew pew!
Can anyone tell me how the console version holds up in comparison? I really need a space flight game, no money for a competent PC but it will soon come out on PS4. Would really appreciate some knowledgeable feedback. Thanks.
The graphics are really good on console. I have it on pc and xbox one, and the only noticable difference I saw (in my brief time playing it) was that the stars in the background were a little less detailed. It controls well, and it's really good in general
Quality Wise it's great, Frontier have control of their game engine and the graphics work great on all the platforms, And it's easy enough to play with a control pad, my son prefers it over the HOTAS, so It's the full experience, with full graphics, not a cut down port in any way.
KYU I play on Xbox, and the experience has always been outstanding. It is the same exact game on consoles as it is on pc, and if I didn't know better, I would say it had been specifically designed to be played with a controller.
Thanks a lot guys. It's a buy then!
Just started looking up tutorials! I'm getting really excited now. ;)
Fly safe
KYU Fly dangerous ;-)
that's like the spookiest shit ever
A seti (or a sort of organisation) soft thing should be created to find aliens.
We should look for a pattern of all these locations.
QualifiedESA Engineer We could call it SEDI(search for elite dangerous intelligence)
I find the Harry Potter story hilarious. I have more respect for the Elite community now, knowing that all actions- good or evil- are canonical. (Of course for the book he'll probably be called Harold Gardener or something.) It's not breaking the game if the developers intended for it to be a possibility.
What's an exploder? ;)
goistoist that which explodes c:
space seems lonely
