- Having made it to Jacques station I'm 'only' 12,000 light years from Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole in the core of the galaxy. In Elite: Dangerous this is something of a tourist destination for explorers so, since I was in the nieghbourhood I headed out that way after doing my bit to help with the development of the new outpost.

i can confirm there is nothing at the center of a galaxy, it just teleports you into another planet and start the whole shit again.
He's making a joke. And unless you are also making another joke, I don't get it.
Again with this shit
i get a tree of life
You have learned the Korvax word for [No Refunds]
+A Happy Bambi
He got blown up by Sag A*
There is something at the middle of the galaxy? You're not just whisked away to another galaxy in a cheap lightshow? Wow, what do you know.
+LeiFlux07 it's a black hole so they're just a cheap dark show
Haha :)
Peter Molyneux is at the centre of the galaxy. ;)
+Yogmondminer You mean One Man's Lie?
+TyOrca 5 no man buys?
The feature I'm waiting for being able to land on planets with atmospheres
its being developed. and thats why i havent even considered getting no mans sky
You can't.
Are you talking about the planets you can currently land on with NO atmospheres? Because bland, rocky, giant astroids is essentially all they are.
Yeah! Flying into a gas giant and landing on it would be very cool. Im waiting for a pair of legs to walk with..
+CFFT Am i an idiot or are they all gas and no solid?
60 light seconds from a 3.5mil M_Sol black hole? That sounds SO not safe...
If this is a rotating black hole, you are quite probably already inside the event horizon it at that point. You would most certainly be inside the ergosphere.
Ofc, since it's so active, it is probably more luminous than any stars you are likely to encounter. So I'm a little disappointed that it wasn't more oompf to the center of the galaxy.
the event horizon of Sagittarius A* starts around 11 million kilometers (the exact number is not known given the conflicting estimates on mass ranging from 4.3 to 3.5 million solar masses) out from its center of mass which converts to 36.7 light seconds. However the game is probably counting the distance from the object starting from its "surface"/event horizon.
InfinityToPlanck 65 LS is 1.95e+10 m. The event horizon of Sgtt A* could be as low as 1.0e+10 m provided its mass is on the lower estimates AND it has close zero rotation - the last of which I think is highly unlikely. A rotating bh will have different extention depending on what axis you are measuring, with the smallest number being equal to the swarzchild radius and the larger number close to double that. It did seem as though he was approaching from the side (I think its likely that sgtt A* will have its spin vector aligned fairly closely to the galaxy).
But you may be right that the number quoted in game is measured from the event horizon, not the center.
Snagabott I was assuming zero rotation just to simplify the math especially as the angular velocity of Sagittarius A* is even fuzzier than its mass. I said 1.1e 7 kilometers which is 1.1e 10 meters. You are probably correct that the event horizon starts closer to 2e 10 meters.
In this video the black hole was actually 0.5 mil solar masses, which means the schwarzchild radius is actually just 5 light-seconds in the game. (as he said, the game is apparently not completely up to date with these numbers)
Why this game doesn't have autopilot for long repetitive chains of hyperspace jumps will never make sense for me. I hate having to turn slightly and press J every 45 seconds just to get somewhere when even 1980's era autopilot could handle that. It demands attention without satisfying it.
(I know I'm 2 years too late to reply, but,)
I personally like the travel, I enjoy seeing space go by and having to interact with the game just reminds me that it is a game with things to do in each system, even if it isn't much, but I feel like they should definitely add some kind of autopilot module for people who don't get a sick enjoyment out of it, or for when I just don't feel like it, which is fairly rare.
I don't think 1980's AP could do that. All they did was set and hold heading and altitude. Although I'm certain that it could be automated, you're right about that.
Nower days elite has the neutron highway which is a little bit more involved.
@@yorkshire_tea_innit8097 Nope. Autopilot could do such things since the late 60's in military jets.
that mining gameplay would send me to hard liquor
He did it in almost the worst possible way :)
Weasel Level Design how so?
You can use multiple lasers to speed up the extraction, a better distributor to keep them powered, and most importantly, collector limpets - drones that pick up all the fragments for you for processing. You can equip a butt-ton of those drones and have them all buzzing around you at once, it's great. My first time mining was in the exact same place as Scott, for the same reason, even :)
2 words: Collector Limpet
If Scott gets a statue, I'll make it a rule to put an afro wig on it.
Your "scoop, charge, peek at map" technique is a very familiar one - I suppose all of us who are out in the far black fall into something similar as a travelling habit sooner or later. I've not been 'home' since January when I started making "Turjan's Travels", but I'm jumping my way back now finally, before we get company in our galaxy. And as I can't be certain whether such company will wave and say 'hi' or try to eat my face off, I'm thinking it's wiser to get home before I have to find out the answer to that question the hard way!
Jonking :)
These old videos of Scott exploring around in his wholesome asp are great. The nostalgia is real.
Pure gold "one wonders about the mechanics of waterworlds and if birds can crap on heads"
next objective is to get as far from the core as possible
Awesome video, Scott! I thoroughly enjoy all your astronomical awesomeness, but as I play both ED on PC and XBONE, seeing what is possible, from an educational perspective, is great. I'll be using ED to teach my kids space, and the distances etc.
I've never been to the galactic core myself, but seeing the difference in the number of stars, just shows how well Braben and the team team did their research. It's impressive stuff!
The only thing missing is a joke about a planet with statues of sentient pigeons that Scott could potentially crap on.
Scott, at the start where you manually power down your frame shift drive and Fuel scoop to use the power for your Mining lasers. You could instead change the priority of those systems (The number on the right between the < > arrows) to higher numbers than everything else. This lets your ship automatically power down those systems when your ship tries to draw more power than it has available (When you draw your mining lasers for example) and then automatically power those systems back up when your power draw drops again (When you stow your mining lasers) instead of you having to do it manually.
2:06, Scott What does the scouter say? "IT'S OVER 22 TONNES PER CUBIC METER!"
Heheee
18:17 that space looks like it is giving an atmosphere to the planet.
Great video Scott, thanks!
I went to Jaque's too. I also started heading to the galactic centre afterwards and see a few sights. Unfortuantly I "tried" to "land" on a 5G planet and took my hull down to 13%.I quickly made a beeline back for home.
Great video, the surprise chuckles are great. xD
I wish I could get my E:D look as pretty as yours. Looks amazing! Love this game since the 80's!
Loving the new Elite and CK2 videos!
Congrats on reaching the core and welcome to the exclusive club of SagA* visitors!
Hey there, Scott! A pro exploration tip- throttle down after your FSD begins charging, and then use the system map. That way, if you find something good, your ship won't jump before you're ready. When you leave the system map, all you have to do is throttle back up and you'll make the H-jump instantaneously. Cheers!
YASSSSS - Thanks for this Scott. I asked in the comments and you went there in the end.
yess, you did it! I'd like to thank you for getting me into this game by the way, I love it more than almost every other game I have :D
Who exactly forced you to do only one thing?
I stopped playing it regularly after 60 hours, but I feel like if I enjoy a game for 60 hours I've gotten my money's worth. Theres only a few games I play that have ever gotten me to stick around that long.
20DarkWidow90 I know, I feel like people try only what was given to the, then quit, and never actually go exploring, wonder about some of the cool stuff in the galaxy, do CG's, and other stuff. but idk man
that looked so cool
im gonna get my friend to come over and we are going to get there in my type-6 no matter how long it takes
prospector drones also increase the yeild by about 3x, you can scan a bunch and as long as you remember the good ones, i tend to find a patch and scan every asteroid in range, you can hunt for the painite, which in a few systems sells for 74k per ton, platinumm which is a nice 20k, i try to find ones with 30+%. Spent about 2 hours mining and took 53 painite back for a nice 3.5 mil, plus all the other stuff i sold locally it was a good 6+ million for 2 hours work.
What this game needs is a place to call home, a base you can collect for upgrades, store components, swap out parts on your ship in your own workshop where you can setup for multiple situations without having to rebuy and find the best stock at the best stations.
The starscape near the galactic core is incredible.
birds crapping on your statues? fish? hahahaha
loved it. you are WAY out there!!! i should get in my asp and head to the edge of the galaxy somewhere and plot how far i would be from you.
SCOTT MADE ELITE VIDEOS??? I just installed the game and greatly enjoy it. and i have been watching Scott for a while now, but i never realised that he made gaming videos at all!
lmfao at the crapping on head bit.
Good video, Scott.
I thought I'd never look at the Space Exploration games after EVE, but maybe I will again with ED
EvE isn't a 'space exploration' game. :\
FYI - You can change the priority of modules in the Modules panel so that less important modules automatically shut off if you exceed your power capacity. Cuts down a bit on micromanagement. :)
I like what the game developers did making the black hole look the way it did...
Scott! You should get in touch with the Galactic Nebula Expedition. We're heading toward Jaques, and will be there Oct 29th. Would be awesome if you could meet up with us at one of our way points!
that was incredible :o to think that this beast is actually out there, devouring mass as we speak XD
Scott on the rote finder slide your cargo slider to the right as the simulated weight increases you jump distance when routing will drop to match it (for granular fuel saving)
+Andy Barnes I mentioned this in the video, would be nice to go beyond this.
You mentioned in your video that you were unsatisfied with the fastest and economical route options.
Just Below those is a section titled "Cargo Mass" on the Navigation tab of the galaxy map.
If you adjust the cargo tonnage up on this screen it will reduce your maximum Jump range down. This allows you to set your "ideal weight" - so if your ship has a 30LY capacity jump drive but you want to only make steps of 15LY you adjust the slider for cargo mass until your jump range is reduced to 15LY then plot your route.
now none of your hops will be over 15LY. If that's what you meant by fastest/ecomomical route then fair play :)
That last shot made me feel really isolated. lol
great video
I journeyed to the center once. You almost have to be doing something in the background to keep yourself sane. My journey to and from Sag A were separated by at least 3 months because I had absolutely no interest in turning right back around and making that trip again.
@Scott. You may know this already, but you could have increased the power priority on the Fuel Scoop FSD and to have the automatically shut down when you deploy hardpoints.
In Space Engineers, you can put a gravity source behind a giant funnel and all your nuggets can be pulled right to your refinery hands free.
well done scott
Elite Dangerous looks like a game I'm going to love watching other people play.
I can't wait for first person interior perspective... It will be so much more immersive, right now every ship basically looks the same unless you get out. Imagine being able to set an autopilot and walk around doing things in your ship during the journey
+LondonSpade all the ships have identical HUD's but the cockpit models are different. If you have. Vive you can already walk around because of the room scale tracking.
Oh nice, cheers :)
Life would have been so interesting if we lived on one of this 2 earth like planet orbiting so close to each other
Would be a new "new world" to discover after the discovery of america with maybe lots of different life forms!
and the sky at night so close to the core would be a beauty to watch
actually, how bright would the sky be at night if the Earth was so close to the core
I can but only hope they will add the exploration of planets with atmosphere and who knows, maybe they'll add life fauna one day, and all kind of life forms
I'm willing to wait a few years to see that, I find ED to look so good already
Hello Scott, can you please do a set up video for your asp explorer? I just got one, and I'm looking to explore. Thanks
I'm going to be starting my Elite: Dangerous journey for the first time this weekend on XB1! I honestly can't wait. Any tips for a new player, like things I should get into? Exploring seems fun, but so does blowing up other ships. Also, as far as packs you can buy for the game... which ones would you recommend?
i think you should firstly try a bit of everything, i have farmed tons of credits by hunting bounty. But i think now its best to just follow community goals as they push you to different things as time go on, yet you need some sort of good ship to get rewards
TheAero1221 Arm yourself with a lot of patience, it will get really boring, really fast.
"One day, all this will be yours"
"What, the curtains?"
I suppose a future graphical 'tweak' could be adding known accretion discs like the monster around Sag-A* and the much more average Cygnus-X1.
iam on my way to beagle point right now(still have 15000LY to go) ,and the lonely feeling you get out there is really something... and holy shit ,double earthlike ,thats something i never found ,my best system was 3 waterworlds(2 of em terraformable), one earthlike and one amonia planet...
A bit late to the party, but for what it's worth if you launch collector limpets in untargetted mode they'll sit around and wait for chunks to pick up, and mop them up repeatedly for a certain duration, much like the "space net" you were describing. Only issue is that they can't be told not to pick something up, so if you try to dump excess limpets or low value minerals they'll immediately try and pick it up again.
Anyone know where a class 5A FSD can be located close to SOL?
Edit: Never mind, found one at Bhritzameno (Feynman term.)
May the Route Plotter almighty have mercy on our soul.
netflix window on yor cockpit? HAHAHA that sounds amazing
interdictors are tracter beams. they pull people out of super-cruise
Set the systems you want to shut down to priority number 2 or further (if you want them to shutdown in priority stages) and when you deploy your hardpoints, they will be disabled automatically and reactivated when you retract them
I don't know if this was possible in 2016 but now you can just filter out certain stars when plotting a route which speeds things up a fair bit
Yes a 3D solar system would be nice. Because becisde seeing how all the weird solar systems are layed out. It would make it easier to pick a rout to explore all the planets if you are doing a survey .
Well you’ll get it on the 11th
There's great science fiction potential for a binary pair of Earth like worlds. The relationship between them, the politics etc.
ModishNouns Like Onderon and Dxun in "Tales of the Jedi"? The Beast Wars?
Thank God for the FSS scanner. I hated that.
I wonder if there's a way to spin a black hole up to such a speed that it flies apart (Highly unlikely) or reduce its density by spreading out the matter. I think that spin might be one of the forces keeping black holes from collapsing into near infinity.
I was on my way to Sag' A from Jaques, but the route plotting took more than 30 minutes to plot a full 1000 light years. I decided to wait, and I'm hoping it will be better once the new plotting system is in place.
Either way my 'Conda is at 50 LY jump, and I'm shooting for around 60 LY, so another trip out will be just fine by me.
Seeing you get there just leaves me with regret though...
he wasn't the first person either
do small plot courses ... like we veterans did, the closer to Sag the more plot course you had to make...
Thanks for the tip Zephyros. That was my original plan, but I had just heard they were going to add dynamic route planning, and I thought I'd try to skip the headache.
After 9 weeks of play time, Sag A is one of the last BIG things I have left... I don't mind waiting a bit longer.
the xbox just says nah thats too far. not looking forward to my first deep space voyage
It's the traveling salesman problem in space
That black hole looks both awe-inspiring and absolutely terrifying. Like something that shouldn't be there, ya know? I mean, if you think about how 'weird' they are, they are basically the closest thing in reality to a 'lovecraftian horror'.
Hi Scott - lol @ "I prefer my hairstyle to remain efficient"!
I'm a long-time eve player who's finally upgraded his PC to one that could run elite - could you do a little review of the elite dangerous Cmdr deluxe edition for vfm as I'm tempted to dip my toes into the elite universe, and I'm a fan of your comedy/informative style!
Don't worry, Scott, fish won't crap on your statue underwater. You'll just grow an algae beard with gravity-defying locks of kelp reaching skyward from atop your glorious head.
Dream gam:e space engineers combined with elite dangerous
Scott, any comment on Eve Online's upcoming so called alpha clones?
Eve F2P... That's like saying World of Warcraft is F2P cause that's basically what it is. An unlimited trial with restrictions, most likely the same restrictions on skills as the current trial if not even more restricted due to the unlimited nature of it.
It's not really FTP. They're just finally catching up to everyone else and doing a proper trial/unpaid account type.
Jimmy De'Souza
Just to reiterate on what I said, such a claim that EVE is F2P basically means World of Warcraft is also F2P.
Jimmy De'Souza No. You have access to the first couple of levels of each training, only T1 ships. It's not even close to all of EVE's content.
No, you can buy WoW game time with ingame money now. Also, there's 110 levels now, and they are pretty grand.
Scott, you talk about a script to inject Netflix into VR during the video. Do you have any links or info on this? I would love to see more.
In-flight entertainment would be amazing!
Hey. If you have a large set of cargo racks, you can simulate a large load to reduce your maximum jump range. Might let you pick routes better.
so where is the giant ship graveyard, blackholes and Collector base?
wrong universe buddy
Bruh lol!
Dang it, I already headed back to the bubble.
Yeah I got back to the bubble 3 days after the community goal to fix Jaques' ended :P I got a ton of rather interesting stars and planets to my name though. Actually, 6 "broken" black holes and a Wolf-Rayet that looks like a huge brown dwarf were in those new discoveries as well :P
The data was worth 50+ million, however... so to be quite frank, a single anaconda sothis run would make as much in like... 20x less time.
But that is not why we explore, is it... ;)
I'm surprised you has spare power in that built for a refinery/laser at all man loo. My Asp an explorer/smuggler with a tuned down power plant for weight, but obv cargo racks don't require any power lol
A binary system of Earth-like worlds? That just sounds amazing; it would be so cool for humanity to inhabit them both. I'm imagining living on one, just seeing the other in the sky and knowing people live there too. Maybe I'd have a pen pal there that I could wave to, hahah
you could get a good telescope and spy on other people on another planet
I made the trek to Sag A before Jacques appeared. The sight was utterly underwhelming.
I think a cool feature, besides landing on atmospheric planets, but being able to actually go under water with your ship, it's obviously air tight, because you know yo in space fam. but you go under water, take samples of maybe some sort of molecular based life forms. it's be a cool edition. but under water you move a lot slower, and your ship still has a crush depth but it'd be pretty high, maybe you'd have some sort of submarine type vehicle instead of a fighter or SRV. I think it'd be cool.
Clorox Bleach I don't know that they'd be that good underwater. The hull is designed to keep pressure IN, whereas a submarine is designed to keep pressure OUT. I'm sure there's some crossover of performance, especially with the spaceships being futuristic in design and materials, but still, just sayin'. :)
That Monty Python reference though... :)
Mr Manely I heard that asteroids in a belt are usually not within viewing distance of one another, due to how huge space is. Is this the case for a non-planetary asteroid belt? (As in, the rings of Saturn are fairly compact, but the asteroid belt in the Sol system is very diffuse.)
been there, dun that. next!
Oh yes, that slow loading of the System Map is indeed very frustrating. :(
Maybe checking the system map while loading the FSD would be more convenient if you didn't fully throttle up right up way. That way the ship won't jump without you getting out of the map and confirming that you really want to leave.
Holy shit. 5,000c?! That's super fast!
+Samuel Mazo no 2000ly/hour. That's even faster than that.
Ok is it posible to land on luna, mars or any astroid, planet or something in the sol system?
+TheFlyWahine last time I visited was during horizons 2.0 beta and I landed on Charon
The Bubbble. heh, I like that.
"Non-eshenshul"? Channeling your inner Connery?
Little late to the party, but Im planning to make the pilgramage to the center, is a speed run with the Asp Explorer the way to go?
Hey scott did you find any planetary nebula along your way to sag A? Or on your way back? There very pretty also theres one called Eskimo nebula near by the bubble.
Scott are you a Goon? I'm a big fan of yours and i also play eve. I was recently playing with a friend and we are in Horde, we were talking about a video of yours whereby you teach your kid to kill a miner or some such malarkey and he said, "Did you know Scott's a Goon?" So are we enemy's? If so, i hope to battle with you in New Eden one day :)
Fly safe and keep up the great content.
The Asp Exploder. That is all.
better than no mans sky!!!
wait, what are the elite hyper drives based on? I would think a warp drive would require some amount of messing with gravity to warp space-time itself
Scott, will you join ''65k away from Sol'' club?
+Marbo306 not on this journey
Sounds like hell
9:00 "At least in this version of Elite it isn't populated by ships that will try to occasionally assault you..."
Well that's kind of ironic. (It's happening now...)
Chemist Yukio Hirose got an Ig Nobel award for making a study on why a certain statue in his town was never bombarded with the mushy presents of our pigeon friends. could help with the unwanted hair cream problem your statues will have.
I wonder what impact living on a galaxy fringe world would have on a civilization's spiritual development... Such a night-sky dichotomy would be the center of all religions and myths.
hmm, was it in some very old StarTrek episode, or maybe other show, I cant really remember now. Something about a planet placed in the middle of nebula so its citizens can not see any other stars and their society evolved extremely selfcentered...or something like that :)
Sounds like the Krikkit guys from Hithchikers Guide to the Galaxy
Sounds like Earth.
ah yes! that would fit Galaxy Guide :)
There's a great Isaac Asimov short story about a planet in a system with like 3 or 4 suns. They believed the universe might have only as much as 30 suns, but they could only see their 4, and it was never night. Once in every x thousand years there would be night and it was to them like an end of the world thing.
I'm curious -- how did you get those "FOUNDER" decals on your Asp? Did you help with making the game or is it due to making popular videos of it?
+CeresIsAwesome anyone who backed the kickstarter got it. I bought alpha access to the game. Cost me 200 pounds (~$300) was worth every penny in the end because I got to meet the devs.
That's awesome and must've been a blast. Pretty outstanding decals, too!
Dammit I need this game
