- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2016
- The 2.2 update (and 1.7 for those without Horizons) has been released into Beta testing for those with access. It's a nice chunk of new features that will be added, some to both games, others will only come to the Horizons players. Either way, it's another nice new chunk of content for the best space sim out there.

They build skyscrapers because the upper class like to look down on everyone else
Skyscrapers also solves some general logistics issues. If the majority of your habitat volume is in towers, then you also minimize your general transit requirements.
Bunch of engineering issues that make building 'tall' colonies more sensible than building wide and short. Plus if you have shields and such, then a smaller area is easier to cover.
And on top of that, usually those planets have lower gravity, so building high structures is much less of a problem than on earth
isnt it that the upper class has their fancy houses in the outskirts and actually middle/lowclass living in such large apartment buildings?
They did just add passenger craft... #TooSoon?
+Julia Leslie Space 9/11 joke?
Am I the only one who wants to read Scott's short stories set in the Elite universe?
"He was SUCH a nerd... Yep. That neeeerd....was me"
I just keep falling in love with the sound design in Elite. It's just phenomenal.
Aah! More Eliiite! Love this game, So beautiful and fascinating! Keep rocking Scott!!
All I want is atmospheric landings, even if the atmosphere looks like something out of space engine. That'll sell me on this
love your videos :) thx for everything that you doing to popularize astronomy and space sciences!
1:25 - If I can get *pink plasma accelerators* I will throw my money so fast at Frontier..
Or a barrage of rainbow laser beams
Dita 98 *SPACE DISCO, ENGAGE*
Cytoscrambler!
or a 10 dollar rave color that applies to every energy based weapon shot, causing siezure rainbows with your lasers, plasmas, and railguns...
Hey Scott Manley going to say watched your videos for a while and I love them, but after taking a browse around steam looking at Space or Strategy games and I see this game called, 'Children of a Dead Earth'. After reading its description I related it closely to KSP and and that made me think of your series of KSP. I wanted to bring this game to your attention to see if you like it. (It main "headline" claim is this...real science and real technology) I just wanted to see if you would like to look further into it and if you read this comment keep up with the amazing videos. (EDIT) It also is a combat game where you fight in this "war" in the solar system.
Why do all of the faces at 1:52 look like they were modelled on Eddie Izzard?
Everyone is high on onionhead in 3302.
Everyone.
XD that is hilarous.
Oh man, i almost punctured a lung laughing.
Thank you for your Elite:Dangerous videos, Scott! My aged PC can't run it, so I must rely on your videos and salivate in anticipation of my new PC!
You are one of my favorite 'youtubers' since your series about Xenonauts, played that game for ages :)
Keep up the good work and have fun!
The faces in this game are quite comical.
Frontier: Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Adaptations in the human species! Yes that sounds sciency!
Yeah, they're still working on their models. Those will be out by 2.3 though, and from the teaser of the models, they look pretty darn good.
Apparently they were vastly improved according to people who went to a meetup yesterday.
knew of this game for some time now... wasn't until this video i had any interest in playing. thanks for sharing and nice video.
12:02 MAN what a finale! Everything lined up so perfectly there.
Thanks for sharing Scott! :)
Thanks to you Scott I'm getting Elite + Horizons, HOTAS is also on the way. Greetings from Poland and see you in space! :)
I noticed the frameshift transitions are a lot smoother, thats very nice!
impressive as always CMDR manley
Damn, I wish they'd finally let us customize our HUD colours without messing around in the configs!
+Scott Manley on the note of weapon colour modifiers they said back when they were announcing Horizons features last year that we would be able to customize our laser colours. I think most people forgot about this or assumed the different colour lasers some engineer mods gave ended up being that.
this "yep that nerd was me" was little mindfuggy :D well done :D
" That nerd was me. "
Oh god you killed me there.
I love you Scott, keep being awesome as a person.
@Scott Manley, The skyscrapers are arcology skyscrapers. Designed so that human beings can live in a sealed environment like a space station, on the surface of an airless or otherwise uninhabitable planet surface. They are also built up to reduce human impact on the environment, and of course, for the view!
Whoa! This game is beautiful!
The wings and aerodynamic features might be for future expansion including "Atmospheric Planets". Hopefully 😊
Or perhaps just becase there are useful when gliding in non atmospheric planets
Yeah because aerodynamics work when there isn't any *aero* to go with your *dynamics*. No atmosphere = no aerodynamic effects. None. Never. Ever.
That Pokémon Go joke left me in stitches! xD
Holy shit this is awesome!!!!! Literally all I did in X3 was build up a huge airliner business. So much fun, converting ships into passenger ships and clearing safe passages between major trade hubs.
man i want this game so badly
That landing man… :D
This was my favourite game ever back in Beta, once it fully released it quickly became one of my biggest disappointments of all time. Has the game changed much in terms of depth and gameplay? Or is it still a husk of a game, an ocean spanning billions of miles wide but only millimetres deep?
+The Cheshire Cat game is hugely better, lots more to do, lots more flavor, much easier to make money.
Scott Manley Well that's good to hear, I still haven't even tried powerplay yet. That being said, watching your video the fact that passengers being nothing more than renamed cargo is giving me a bit of a cynical outlook from the get-go.
Not sure how else you would do passengers, but they're essentially special cargo that talks to you and sometimes asks for favours. I mean did you want to stop playing pilot and run around the ship serving drinks and in flight meals?
Oh so they do interact with you? I was under the impression that they literally functioned identically to cargo but I guess that's my fault for not bothering to look up more information on them.
And I don't know, I would like to see VIP's or whatever who would pay extra if you get there quicker, fuel be damned etc. I'll go and read up on what I've been missing at some point, see how passengers are done etc. If the game is in a place where I like I may even start playing again.
There are also VIPs wich you have to do special tasks for.
Scott it's not a Bus it's nearly the same size as a Cruise Liner...
+SquaredSpekz that's how big space busses are, you didn't believe those magic school bus stories did you?
Of course not...
Every day I get in the queue!
Wow, all that ship for 22 people?
"That nerd was me!" awesome Scott.
Does he say "Meow" at 10:07 ?
I love the new update by the way. Nice to see these new features while watching Scott Manley. Was waiting the Fighter Bay to try out the new "Keelback."
I should get back into this game...Gotta get my big ship(s), ha!
Oh! How about that new Children of a Dead Earth game? That is *right* up your alley! Goodness. I think everyone on the channel would love to see you play that!
building up makes sense because elevators and stair would be more efficient method of getting between "areas" than hallways of vehicles in a situation where the floors are all laid out like tiles.
@7:20 That nerd ... was me. (Priceless)
3:04
Nice rhyme, Scotty!
This game is really starting to look better than Star-Citizen... It probably helps that it is actual fully released game as well.
If this looks better than SC than i was watching something else because this game is so static... so boooooring. I have Elite and SC but SC is so much more even in this stage you can have so much more fun and the fights are more dynamic and even flying is more engaging (it's not like flying a brick). Not to mention FPS and that you can get out of cockpit and walk around.
SC does not have a full release, but at least there's more immersion than this inch deep puddle has.
Honestly I prefer flying the brick rather than the paper mache. Actually feels like I'm flying a spaceship. But that's just a preference.
Mr. Hippopotamus
Amazing how you stated that without being a dick about it. Shame SC fanboys can't do the same.
I don't know why they can't just appreciate something even if it's not their cup of tea. I don't hate on SC (well, their fans suck) even though I don't really care for the arcadey elements.
Crusina I don't hate Elite i just point out that it's static and the fact is there is no much to do in this game except flying from point A to point B. If you like it it's fine but after 0.5 year it's geting a bit boring if you can't see your oponent (only the ship with nick) if you can't play multicrew on a larger ship or walk on stations and have a multiplayer adventure... I know that community made some efort to fly in groups and similar kind of events but besides that the game does not suport multiplayer very well... that's all. I think that Elite could be nice game but in needs more game mechanic and more initiative to interact with other players to be game that many people want to play and the clock is ticking because SC is closer and closer to realise.
Gorgeous game.
jesus christ those graphics are slick!
Is there any planned way to "store" different ships? An A.I. controlled flotilla that follows you for example?
While watching the google now was apparently listening to Scott and started searching for info on neutron stars. I like the idea that google enjoys listing to Scott. :-)
"Have a nice day" - Scott "Love boat captain" Manly.
I wish I/we could live in the Elite: Dangerous universe. It'd be so fun to explore in real life and battle.
Finally, polar jets from compact stars. And that 300% FSD boost is gonna be so useful for us explorers. I wonder if it stacks with the 100% jumponium boost?
i imagine that building a big flat building for living and working (so you don't have to put on your compressed suit all the time) would take a lot more work (you have to build around craters etc and have to smooth out the surface of the area) than just building on a smaller surface. and since gravity is so low it's not as "complicated" as it is on earth except for the "it has to be airtight and pressurised"-part. sure, you could build smaller buildings and connect them with tunnels but it'd take more time to go from a to b
Oh yeah. More elite dangerous. Thank you Scott!
Now time for controversy. I still prefer star citizen...and let the debate begin!
Not sure how much you'll stir up here, Scott does gameplay previews of both.
perfect answer ^^
Well I think you are right. It is just a bit of fun to see what people think. It alright - I think we can trust Scott's viewers to be civilised, maybe not Scott himself, but certainly his viewers.
I'm sure it will begin soon...
No, i am a stupid 8 years old boy who loves to make "your mum" jokes. And so are all of Scott's viewers. Because little 8 year olds love science and words they cannot even pronounce :D
You can leave your ship in sc and fly around in space. That feature alone raises it above elite. even in the current mini version of what it promises to become.. But only then can you really compare. And not even that as the concept is completely different.
Ohhhh heellllll yeaaa.
i hope im gonna be able to have players as a crew member or passenger. been lookin forward to it since pretty much elite beta
I'm not a fan of Elite, but I am SO happy that this is getting better with each iteration. It is simply looking amazing. Dave and company really deserve the success they are getting. I wish that more people got into them. It's not my cup of tea, but those who wanted "No Man's Sky" would so get into this once there is personal exploration. I keep trying to push people this way that were looking for that in NMS.
So you asked, why would they build upward with so much open space...? Would it not conserve thermal energy? Perhaps you'd be willing to cover something along the lines of heat management and dissipation in an episode of "things KSP doesn't teach you..."? Keep up the great work! Game on!
"And that nerd was... me" xD ok you got a subscribe for that
I love that this guy can use his real name and still be memorable. I was like "Oh who was that guy that does all the KSP videos?... *Sco' Mahnley!!*"
Is there a place where one can see which ships can have the fighter bay? have searched the web but havent found anything
here they are:
Anaconda
Type 9
Federal Corvette
Imperial Cutter
Beluga (new ship)
Federal Gunship
Keelback
Thx
oh man this ship would be amazing in VR :)
Hi, Scott! Longtime fan, was wondering if you were going to follow and do gameplay vids on the upcoming "Children of a Dead Earth?" Seems up your alley, space combat with fully modeled orbital mechanics and physics. Seems a bit like KSP, but with railguns!
how did you get it working with horizons?
I can only download it from the normal ED launcher so I cant land on planets now
"Yup, that nerd was me...." Great Scott
"that nerd was me" lol. love it
I can't stand playing elite dangerous, too complicated for me but I always enjoy seeing someone such as yourself you actually knows how to play it!
It's probably easier to build towers in modules. With lighter gravity, you can add floors as you need too. Saving resources and energy on planning new buildings on more land.
It might also be so they can transmit to the skimmers, without the curvature of the planet blocking the signal
And that it's easier for workers to walk from building to building.
It was fun doing passenger runs in Frontier, I think that the Beluga would be fun to pick up. Sure, I could respec my Cutter or something, but the Beluga is obviously an exectutive choice, nice money earner!
Had one little play of the beta, LOVED it, saw so many new additions and changes straight away. I love the Mothership/Parasite ship AI commands, but that "transfer" thing needs to go. We don't have teleporters in this universe!
You meant where you swap between the Mothership and the Fighter? There is no teleport involved, you fly the fighter by remote from the Mothership.
I don't think it is remote. Pretty sure you can see your hands....
Yeah, you can, but it's explained as a robotic avatar... or something. Still, there is a max range of 30KM where the link goes out of range and the fighter explodes. FD has said the cockpit is still in the fighters because in the future there may be a reason for you to be flying the fighter manually and not on remote... We shall see.
Dr. Myv in LHS 3447 has been working on teleportation between the planet surface and Worlidge Terminal. Back in late 3301 the first human experiment happened, and inadvertently Dr. Myv was cloned, with the clone appearing on the terminal. Since the federation is pretty anti-clone, Myv.hs (.hs being the file extension during the teleport) then fled LHS 3447 in a sidewinder, and ever since he's been living out the fevered dreams of Dr. Myv, by becoming a Dangerous bounty hunter, and vigilante of Guuguyni.
If you go to Guuguyni, you can sometimes see CMDR Myv.hs in his Python the Emerald Rapier fighting criminals around the rings of Guuguyni 3 and 4.
But yea, teleportation is pretty far off.. not technologically, but ethically: it's basically cloning and murder in a basket called transportation..
...also I'm pretty deep into RP, did I say that? #openRP
+ Scott Manley the current explination for this from Sandro No Sammarco himself is that by allowing more than one fighter at a time things could get out of hand fast in terms of ships per instance. Consider this. 4 people in a wing, each with a fighter 8 ships, another wing of 4 with fighters out 8 more ships, then a bunch of NPCs who might have some fighters deployed and were currently looking at keeping up with easily 20 plus ships and they are afraid it could create lag for people with weaker internet connections or put too much strain on the servers. Although the counter argument is and Sandro is aware of this that what about those instances where like 50 players get together in one place and everything runs fine.
This would be a valid argument if the game didn't have the Solo/Private/Open options that let players pick their level of involvement. A poor game design decision driven by fear of technical limitations is still bad game design.
+Scott Manley Oh I'm not going to argue with you on that. I think if they wanna limit it they should limit it to 2 fighters, and if they are afraid of sever lag or anything like that we have a beta going on right now why not just test it out and find how much the server can handle and were to set the limit for technical or balance reasons.
It will be curious to see with Multi-Crew, as with that there will be no increase in foot print over a regular wing. You would have to allow multiple SFL from a single ship if a Cmdr was at the helm of each
You can always increase from one fighter. If you promise two fighters outright then you have issues if you run into corner cases. They don't this out of fear, more like being very careful.
MC should require even less network traffic, as updates between you and your mates will be require less information (less relative speed between you). So less struggle if there's delay in traffic.
How do I get acess to the beta, i have the horizons expansion
You can buy an upgrade to Beta from the Frontier store.
I imagine they build upwards because it costs less. Building outwards would require larger foundation material and levelling the surface.
Scott, do a video on the EMDrive
"Yep , that nerd was me " HAHAHAHAH
incidently, incidently
Never played this, so I can say this is the fastest I've ever been confused.
cause ur an idiot
smooth
I would love it if the game would implement an auto/copilot as a fast travel option but only as a way to quickly backtrack to places I've already been. That way, after I've been to and explored a distant system (like if I wanted to head back to the bubble from Jacque Station) I could use the auto pilot at the cost of fuel which wouldn't be cheap but you could then circumvent the 20k LY trip.
"I would really like to have another crew member flying the other fighter!" 2.3 multicrew, Scott. Just wait.
Those beacons are spots that tourists will sometimes ask you to go to.
Can you multi-crew with fighters in the bay?
Panther clipper? I also want to see a huge burst laser.
I would like to see an offer of bonus credits for babbling into your microphone like a tour guide the whole time. I could get on board with that
Hi Scott,
Thanks for sharing this video and giving us a run down of the features 2.2 beta. By the way it looks to me that your are using an Oculus Rift. I have an Oculus Rift DK2 which I find to be excellent for the the game in question but it only runs with the full game and not the beta which I am in. Do you know how to select the beta version instead of the full game using Oculus Rift DK2?
Thanks for any assistance and keep up the good work!!
I'm just using trackIr and not a HMD. I do own a Vive though but haven't tried it on the beta.
That is interesting as I have a TrackIR device but I have not used it for a while but I do prefer the Oculus Rift as I find it to be far more immersive. Anyway I have managed to get the beta running using the Oculus Rift with Elite Dangerous Beta but thanks very much.
Speak later and look forward to more ED videos in the future.
Peace!!
300% boost? did they fix the crashing when jumping over 100 ly?
It's in next beta, which comes next week.
GPS SYSTEM! Global positioning system system? I bet you use ATM Machines too !? :D
Looting system like that? Try Independence war 2
New word for the day.
Finagling.
Didn't know about this, I should have access.....
It would be really cool to have npcs that collected loot while you where battling other npcs and had someone piloting your mother ship
Your comment at the 17 minute mark is *so* true. The only part of E: D that I find to be a real "grind-fest" right now is Power Play, but they've been talking about giving it a major overhaul this season, so maybe that will soon change. The rest of the game, though, is only a grind if you choose to grind IMHO.
The most annoying thing is getting interdicted 5 times every time you make a jump, whether you're on a mission, carrying cargo or not. It's just a super big hassle. Way too many enemy encounters.
Really, I only rarely get interdicted....and then only in lower security systems.
Marcus Hicks
Are you pledged to a power play faction?
Nope. I was in a former life, but I found power play too grindy. I'm waiting for them to fix that first.
Could you please revisit fractured space now it is on steam full release?
It would be cool if you could have to npc wingmen and fly your mothership. And you could set them to fly CSP or some other flight pattern.
I tried the white dwarf boost thing, in my beluga and all it kept saying was something like gravitational strain exceeds fsd safety limits and doesn't give me a supercharge, hell I died from it, 8.5mil down the drain
Imagine Lukozer being this guy's wingman.
What did you do to get the Founders World Permit to enter Shinrarta Dezhra
I backed the kickstarter, so I got access as a founder. However if you reach Elite status then you get the permit.
Maybe they build up to save on space?
Why does all the cockpits look the same in that game?
Didn't Robert Holdstock also write "Mythago Wood"?
friendship drive sounds exactly like a washing machine your welcome
I would like so much having a squad of fighters and some tactical combat vs NPCs.
Hey, Scott;
A little while back, you retweeted a poll regarding ship transfers to your location within the game. Is that going to a part of this update, further down the line, or do you even know?
"Caught a whale over to Holdstock Silo, caught a shiny A-14 Raptor on the landing pad, really digging the UI update on Pokeship Go..."
Have you checked out the tutorials yet? there's actually a structured storied tutorial now!
Second that, few quirks in some of them but they're pretty amazing now.
I should pick this up again some day, I quit a few months after launch.
Can't afford a decent HOTAS though :(
It'd be cool to have massive capital ships which can have a shit ton of turrets and fighters.
LOL!!! Pokemon GO in space. :P Good one. :)
Hey scott what do you use for your head tracking?
Aw jesus I wanna play this game so badly!!! too bad I can't afford it :(
