Example, I do smuggling runs from time to time. The way I do this is by dropping out of FSD (warp, basically) far away from the station then turning off everything on my ship but the thrusters and life support. Then I get into position, aimed towards the opening of the station, turn off flight assist and burn in the direction of the station. Once I hit about 100 m/s, I turn the thrusters off entirely and just let my ship coast toward the station. My ship's heat drops so that even if someone saw my ship they still wouldn't be able to target it let alone scan my cargo. Once I get within 3km of the station, I turn on my sensors and quickly request docking permission. Once I have that, I quickly turn on my thrusters and turn off my radiators (as the heat from the thrusters will cause the radiators to glow almost immediately) and maneuver into the station and to my docking pad.
The cockpit is still simulating sounds even when the canopy is breached. But like all other sounds, it is severely dulled due to only having the medium of your ship and your body (including helmet filled with oxygen) to travel through. You can hear the ship's voice the loudest for obvious reasons.

A lot of people haven't heard their pilot choking when they're running out of air and it shows. It happened to me once and never again. Fuck that sound.
The most disturbing thing about a canopy breach when you experience it for the first time? The simple fact that you probably do'nt quite know how to read the actual instruments on your dashboard because you always relied on the HUD, which isn't actually there anymore, and the sudden rush of panic as you come to that realisation...
When it first happened to me, I quickly realized that I could still see some of the HUD off to the side, so when I was going back to the station, I just flew with it off to my side until I got super close then pointed at it and dropped. Didn't think until now that you could use the compass 😂
Reminds me of things like Perturabo or the Geth going "Windows in space are pointless. You can do everything with sensors anyway, all you're doing is creating weaknesses."
They have a point, windows make sense for the peace of mind of an organic crew. Given enough training( a lá the modern silent service) or automation of systems, the windows can be removed.
@@travishabursky4362 It's funny though, because that's what happened to Perturabo. He had his flagship designed without windows, but ended up watching battles from the hangar. They ended up installing some windows.
Windows serve an important purpose, even if you don't want to accept that. Sensors can be faulty, destroyed or give wrong readings. Windows offer a backup solution. They would only be used in times of emergency and could be very small and in an akward place, but they are still there. It's the same reason a military vessel on earth always has a set of paper maps of the operations area, a set of sextants and analoge navigation equipment and a crew that can use those. In case you loose your navigation systems and need to rely on the stars and paper maps, it's important to have these. The more passive a system is, the harder it is to destroy. visual navigation is by far the most passive navigation system there is.
@@cunt666 Now to be fair, they weren't expecting the galaxy's only stealth ship that had been destroyed and rebuilt in secret. I think we can forgive them for that. What I don't think we can forgive is the ridiculous stealth system within where individual squads of robots can't instantly sound the alarm across the station. That was silly.
Had my first canopy breech a bit back. I'm fairly sure even the best horror games don't quite have the same terror as realising you have 5 minutes to get to a station, with half your HUD offline and no sound to accompany you except the buzz of the ship desperately trying to keep you alive.

@@Summy_99 yeah not only that but the complete array and mix of the sound are so well fitting together.. not only the sound design itself is amazing but the taste of the compilation of those sounds... they fit together like a soundtrack.. it beats every othergame I know by far even many triple aaa hollywood movies.. the design, the choice everything fits so well together in elite.. even the correspondence of the sound effect to the backround music they fit right into the design.. every sound makes sense where it's used and quality itself is amazing too... and in which detail... the interferences when using the ingame voice chat.. when the fsd is charging up or flying through the station forcefield.. and such things.. it's one of the few games where I prefer the ingame voicechat over ts or something like that.. because it is embedded into the sound design element an so the athmosphere of the game the sound design is a big part for me why is still get into the game from time to time... I am put off by that endless grinding I would have to do at my current state ingame.. so I don't play it regulary... but because of the athmosphere of the game where the sound design plays a huge role in...

i think it would be feasible if you had a somewhat okay-sized vacuum chamber that was split in half by a pain of glass then the vacuum pressure is increased until the pane shatters. that's how I would have tried to record that sound then overlay some atmospheric hissing sound.
Which is.. weird: the first upgrade class lowers the weight and gives more time. You are almost always better off upgrading life support at least by one grade.
I prefer the Enterprise where you have a damn viewscreen and a solid hull instead of a paper-thin layer of glass/polymer. The geth are correct, windows are stupid
David Weber's Honor Harrington series actually does this. When any warship goes to Condition One/Red Alert/Battle Stations, the first thing that happens is that the duty crew puts on their pressure suits. The suits are nothing like modern earth vacuum gear, and the distances and speeds involved mean that there can be literally hours between the detection of a hostile force and any engagement.

I remember once loosing cabin pressure and getting myself inside the station airlock with literally 2 seconds left on the clock, having boosted all the way in.
@@theenigma7290 more precisely, your oxygen refills the second your ship makes touchdown on the pad, and stops consuming until you lift off, even if you aren’t inside the hangar. However, you don’t get the safety net of the airlock outside of Coriolis, asteroid, and other mailbox stations.
@@UnwovenSleeve it's been a while but I'm pretty sure it was a mod that attached keypresses to statuses like the hull and shields. I'll look around see if I can find it again.
Why would you do that? I feel like that doesn't make any sense, you still have a helmet and you're still connected to the ship. So in universe wouldn't the voice commands still work?
"I don't need to upgrade life support!" * one canopy breach later * "OH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK" * dies right over an outpost's landing pad * "...maybe I can spare a few credits on life support"
Had this happen in my Oculus VR one time..... Yep, it was pretty terrifying. Held my breath instinctively for a few seconds until the old frontal lobe remembered that there was still air in the room. Haha..
I remember when I got it first time myself. I had to make two jumps to get to a system where I could dock. When I was literally next to the station but still in hyper cruise some asshole npc tried to interdict me.I barely escaped then managed to enter the station with literally 10 seconds of oxygen left. Back there I didn't know the stations had an actual atmosphere so I thought I would have to find the pad and land in 10 seconds.
FSD doesn't make your ship physically go faster, if that were the case the ship would've been ripped apart all the same as you would. Instead, the FSD bends space and time around the ship which in a sense shifts it's place in reality. The ship isn't moving much faster than before but reality itself is moving it.
I just had my first canopy blowout yesterday in my Vulture, was really surprised that the HUD elements were on the glass and not holograms or in my helmet! Glad I D-rated my life support, but might go for a bigger reserve tank in those ships with a lot of glass!
i used to bouhty hunt there when i just started, had my own share of canopy breaches limping back to whohler, once even with a failing fsd, was fun getting that fixed by rebooting over and over again while O2 was draining
I remember many times where the canopy broke and I didn't make it back. And other times where I literally boosted into the station with 0:03 seconds left. It really gets intense.
I remember my first canopy breach. I was in VR so it was particularly terrifying. I remember in supercruise to the station I had to keep my ship pointed a bit down from the station so that I could see the info on the remaining bits of canopy above. The hasty supercruise and docking I did was honestly one of my favorite experiences in the game thus far.
Kind of. Unless you consider that the same rounds that smashed the glass directly in front of the pilot would have most likley riddled him full of holes as well.
@@danielboatright8887 It's an incredible sci-fi exploration/mystery game. I recommend going into it as blind as possible due to the nature of the game.
I know this video is old, but I got my first canopy breach 3 days ago. There should be a training program for it. Thankfully I watched enough of these videos and paid enough attention in training that as soon as it happened and I was heading back to the station I ignored my hud entirely and focused on my radar and bottom left display. I made it back to the station with just over a minute to spare. Immediately upgraded my life support.
i had to deal with this once, got in a fight with a gunship of some kind, lost my shields while head on with him, his guns took my canopy out, had to fly home mostly blind and use the unbroken corner of my canopy to check my distance to the station
@@TheKenji2221 I've recently started playing myself, and someone was kind enough to help me get some starting cash and I joined his crew and deployed with one his fighters, we were doing bounties.

Well done, sir. As you say, the first time this happens is a freaking nightmare! I think losing your HUD is the worst part for the first time and those continuous 'alerts' really don't help! :D
I started playing Elite in the 80's (yeah I am that old) I followed basically every game with the Elite name on it. When I started to play ED, the first time I got into a canopy breach, I tell you all, the sensation was above of a orgasm.
I remember a long time ago in the first couple dozen hours, not even a hundred hours yet of Elite: Dangerous, how terrifying it used to be when this happened... until I flew a Vulture. One of the biggest problems in flying those is that the canopy has the highest chance of failure during combat than any other ship. It's not a matter of if, but WHEN they'll break. I got so used to it happening that I pretty much expected it and timed every engagement accordingly to the mercy of the ship's allowable life support system duration. The Vulture probably taught me more lessons through baptismal fire than any other ship in Elite. Pushed me to the limits of knowing what I can, and can't do, and have always valued those times and lessons. Thanks for unlocking this core memory.
My first canopy breach I was flying cargo on a type 7, got a bit too confident and tried to fight the pirate that interdicted me. Once canopy breached I knew the fight was lost so I high waked out of there. Was 2 systems away from my destination, got there in one peace and with a whole minute to spare. Since then I never panicked during canopy breaches. The key is to always have a plan in case this happens, and to not panic. Just trust your own flying skills and you'll be fine.
Having D class means 7 min of oxygen and is the lightest variant, so... it's better in all ways unless you want to waste the jump range and power consumption just for some more oxygen that never is going to be used
@@Talon- Having an A rated life support can be quite nice when you're getting started to fight thargoids, canopy breaches happen all the time and most times you'll need more than 7 mins to squash that bug
I lost my canopy in a hazres battle and literaly made it back through the mail slot of the local station with 2 seconds to spare. Proper fudge factory moment!
Fun fact: canopy breach breaks the atmosphere inside of the ship which makes the speakers useless (speakers that are used by the ship computer to simulate sounds outside of the ship so it's not like there are sounds in space but just a computer projection instead)
That sound design is amazing. The enemy ship sounds becomes completely silent since it's artificial sound and entering a station brings back all sound from the air
Yes, there can’t be sound in space but what the COVAS chipset does is simulate the sounds of the outside and it is mandatory to have that audio chipset and it is near impossible to hack it to disable it
The only way to fix a busted canopy as far as im aware is being in a mid to large ship with a SRV and to land on a planet. Deploy SRV, tell the ship to take off then relog and recall it. Otherwise you gotta make a run to a station (GL if your a few kly's away from civilization otherwise)
@@V0ID_Music True you could synth, but in the extreme example it's a bit of tedious back tracking. For example if your out in beagle point the nearest station is 39,386 ly out. So like i said solution is just to SRV and relog. For the most part from a game mechanics stand point there is no need to use anything more than a E rating. Unless your minmaxing your weight and power, at which point you just disable it and only turn it on to refresh the timer. If you're just running combat in the bubble, 5 mins and a synth or two is more than enough to make it to a station.
@@Dushess At least that would give you more reasons to actually get out of your ship but that would require effort on Fdev's part. As it stands now the only reason for anyone to take higher tier life support is for a longer timer so they can just turn the module off for more power. You can repair a cracked canopy with limpets or maintenance module. But you cant fix a shattered one without cheesing it with a relog.
"cabin pressure alert" "atmospheric failure" had this happen once, its terrifying when have to fly to a station. theres NO HUD on screen cause well no window. luckly i use voice attack as a little help for maneuvering through supercruise and stuff^^
We all start bad at combat xD but stay at it and soon enough you'll be ELITE! >~> then you'll get your permit to founders world and all modules and ships you'll ever need in one place
P.S. Never try to ease into it by only turning off rotational correction. That only makes it harder because you have to continuously have roll input to stay level.
Just got this recommended to me. How nostalgic it feels to me, I used to farm bounties in Kremainn, exactly at the same spot, until I finally got enough money to buy my FDL. TH-cam knows. Somehow
I love how you apparently have the emergency oxygen supply of an anemic... anemic. Several dozen tons of life support module, and what do you get for all that tonnage? 26 ml of O2.
It's probably because most of that space is taken up with the oxygen that gets blown out. It's most likely just a recycling system with a small tank of backup oxygen.
@@saeseetiin5585 'a small tank of backup oxygen' My friend. 26 ml is 0.8 fluid ounces. That is not a 'tank'. That is the little paper cup you dip your french fries into at McDonalds when you want some ketchup. The Life Support modules in ED have always been the more absurd silly things in the entire game. Doubling the tonnage for every tier up, with the only difference being the emergency O2 supply goes from five minutes, to fifteen minutes, to thirty minutes. 26 ml is what the average human body consumes in five minutes. 156 ml would be what it would consume in thirty. A little over 5 ounces. Anyone really want to tell me you need an additional sixty tons of life support equipment to store a fist full of ketchup packets? This is one of those things where Frontier Dev decided to just ignore reality for the sake of gameplay balance and put almost zero thought into it. Your cockpit canopy breaks, and the countdown timer starts. Doesn't matter if you could stash 48 hours of backpack oxygen in a canister bolted to the back of your chair. Life support couldn't have more interesting features, like keeping the cockpit from baking while the rest of your ship cooks when overheating, or the canopy acting as a radiation shield. I mean, how good a day do you think you'd have if your canopy busted in combat near a nav beacon two light-seconds off the surface of a G-type star while you're pointed at it? I don't think you'd really have time to ruminate on your O2 timer with how instantly flash-baked you'd be. Somehow, the canopy is transparent while being able to keep you from being incinerated. Thus, I laugh at the absurdity of the life support module feature. It's a lead weight with a plastic cup's worth of O2 stored in it.
@@atigerclaw I suppose one potential explanation would be if it's involved in the *fabrication* of O²? But at the end of the day I think I'd still rather have a several tonne tank.
I remember this happening one time, and the ship I was using lost its HUD as well. I had to navigate to the nearest starport via instruments only... that was scary.
Ever been killed through a breached canopy? The SOUND of your canopy breaking is like your gun going *"click"* in a firefight...the panic is almost, if not, immediate and at that point, you're livin on borrowed time...but you are clearly experienced and stayed cool, calm, and collected...made it back to base in one (or a few)pieces. Gr8 vid
The little ball thigy on the right side, right next to the heat readout - very essential piece of equipment. Especially if the glass where your HUD was projected on to is now floating in space a few light seconds behind you.
when I first got my canopy breached, I had also got my fsd broken and i didn't know if i could fix it so i was just randomly pushing buttons to see if there was a repair option while my pilot was desperately waiting to suffocate in the void. It was a great experience.
The same happened to me I was able to eventually find a button that allowed to cannibalize my other systems to get my trusters working it was more desperate as I saw a enemy ship slowly getting closer and closer to me as I was out of ammo and had no shields
one time my canopy got breached in a conflict zone, so i hopped back to the nearest station to repair. when i got there, i tried to request docking, but it wouldn't work - i think another system got damaged, sensors maybe?. so i was sat outside this station with my oxygen ticking down, unable to go inside. eventually i went inside anyway without docking clearance so that i wouldn't asphyxiate, then i got blasted by station defences. rebuy cost wasn't too big at least.
Having a canopy break while the only closest Outpost lading port is occupied feels like going to the ER for a collapsed lung and having to wait because someone "kinda felt off" and took the only spot
literally that what happened to me, but i going to the worning station in the first and turn to other station in another system to fix that was very dramatic. *Krait MKII*
What i don't understand why some Players don't swap their E class Life support for a D class, it's better in every way is by far ALLWAYS the lightest + it has a emergency O² supply of 7:30 minutes.
Had this happen in my Anaconda last night, if I hadn't D rated my life support I wouldve been dead and over 10 mil poorer, but that extra 2 or so minutes saved me.
While it gives something to do in the game. That you'd have an oxygen limit never made sense. If the life support systems can replenish the cabin air indefinitely then it could supply a pilots pressure suit indefinitely through a connection instead of a finite amount of time.
You get the oxygen reserves when your life support fails. You can manually turn off your life support in the modules screen and you’ll go on emergency oxygen
I concur. It's happened to me once or twice, and after the first time I was scared so shirtless that I always outfit anything I'm I with the life support with 7:30 of air
Closest i've gotten was 2 seconds before life support ran out but I managed to full speed into a station and get my atmosphere restored. absolutely terrifying
I've experienced it in VR. It is definitely an...experience going through a canopy breach for the first time in full VR, watching your canopy crack, then give way.
When I just started I decided to go to a combat zone in my brand new cobra. After a minute my canopy ceased to exist(along with most of my hull integrity) and I went to a nearest station where I was denied access. With 3 minutes to spare I was in panic. Went to the other station where I managed to land and repair with literally 2 seconds left. After that the first thing I always buy for a new ship is a life support)

When it first happened to me, I quickly realized that I could still see some of the HUD off to the side, so when I was going back to the station, I just flew with it off to my side until I got super close then pointed at it and dropped. Didn't think until now that you could use the compass 😂
Like when your phone dies while you’re in a city you’re not familiar with
I love that the HUD both disappears... while it is also visible in the remaining fragments of canopy!
Atmosphere detected as soon as entering force field with broken canopy. Great attention to detail.
Not only that, all the sounds suddenly reappearing full power.
The force field is what keeps an atmosphere inside the station

Reminds me of things like Perturabo or the Geth going "Windows in space are pointless. You can do everything with sensors anyway, all you're doing is creating weaknesses."
They have a point, windows make sense for the peace of mind of an organic crew. Given enough training( a lá the modern silent service) or automation of systems, the windows can be removed.
@@travishabursky4362 It's funny though, because that's what happened to Perturabo. He had his flagship designed without windows, but ended up watching battles from the hangar.
They ended up installing some windows.
Windows serve an important purpose, even if you don't want to accept that. Sensors can be faulty, destroyed or give wrong readings. Windows offer a backup solution. They would only be used in times of emergency and could be very small and in an akward place, but they are still there.
It's the same reason a military vessel on earth always has a set of paper maps of the operations area, a set of sextants and analoge navigation equipment and a crew that can use those. In case you loose your navigation systems and need to rely on the stars and paper maps, it's important to have these.
The more passive a system is, the harder it is to destroy. visual navigation is by far the most passive navigation system there is.
And yet you literally sneak attack the geth because none of them can look out a window and spot your ship in stealth
@@cunt666 Now to be fair, they weren't expecting the galaxy's only stealth ship that had been destroyed and rebuilt in secret. I think we can forgive them for that.
What I don't think we can forgive is the ridiculous stealth system within where individual squads of robots can't instantly sound the alarm across the station. That was silly.
Had my first canopy breech a bit back. I'm fairly sure even the best horror games don't quite have the same terror as realising you have 5 minutes to get to a station, with half your HUD offline and no sound to accompany you except the buzz of the ship desperately trying to keep you alive.
My first breach was in VR. Biggest "Oh, shit!" moment I've had in VR.
That is referred to in some circles as a "Brown Alert".
This game in VR played with the real flight yoke and throttle they modeled for the in-game cockpits is still the most immersive VR experience I've ever had.
@@wolfstarchaser oh no thats not a missle harry...
Who's the Foley artist that managed to get the sound of glass shattering as a vacuum is being created? Cause that's impressive.
ikr? Impressive indeed.
The sound design in Elite is incredible, and the attention to detail and realism seen in the rest of the game extends to it
@@Summy_99 yeah not only that but the complete array and mix of the sound are so well fitting together.. not only the sound design itself is amazing but the taste of the compilation of those sounds... they fit together like a soundtrack.. it beats every othergame I know by far even many triple aaa hollywood movies.. the design, the choice everything fits so well together in elite.. even the correspondence of the sound effect to the backround music they fit right into the design.. every sound makes sense where it's used and quality itself is amazing too... and in which detail... the interferences when using the ingame voice chat.. when the fsd is charging up or flying through the station forcefield.. and such things.. it's one of the few games where I prefer the ingame voicechat over ts or something like that.. because it is embedded into the sound design element an so the athmosphere of the game
the sound design is a big part for me why is still get into the game from time to time... I am put off by that endless grinding I would have to do at my current state ingame.. so I don't play it regulary... but because of the athmosphere of the game where the sound design plays a huge role in... I still come back from time to time just to experience the elite dangerous feeling from time to time again...
i think it would be feasible if you had a somewhat okay-sized vacuum chamber that was split in half by a pain of glass then the vacuum pressure is increased until the pane shatters. that's how I would have tried to record that sound then overlay some atmospheric hissing sound.
Unless you forgot, your wearing a helmet which has audio, thus one can hear the AI.
Everybody skimps on life support until it’s time to need life support lol
Which is.. weird: the first upgrade class lowers the weight and gives more time. You are almost always better off upgrading life support at least by one grade.
@@FlameSoulis yeah I don't get why more people don't bother with at least D rating their life support
I use 25:00 of LS lmao
I made this mistake once and once only! Fuck that shit, its scary! LoL
D rated is all you need. If they can't get back to a station in like 7-8 minutes, idk what they were doing fighting like that :P
And that's my final argument that the U.S.S. Enterprise needs everyone in a spacesuit when yellow alerts come up, thx for coming to my TEDTalk.
I prefer the Enterprise where you have a damn viewscreen and a solid hull instead of a paper-thin layer of glass/polymer.
The geth are correct, windows are stupid
David Weber's Honor Harrington series actually does this. When any warship goes to Condition One/Red Alert/Battle Stations, the first thing that happens is that the duty crew puts on their pressure suits. The suits are nothing like modern earth vacuum gear, and the distances and speeds involved mean that there can be literally hours between the detection of a hostile force and any engagement.
Maybe some lite power armor or even a sheild belt like normal space civilization going in mysterious possible hostile worlds

I remember once loosing cabin pressure and getting myself inside the station airlock with literally 2 seconds left on the clock, having boosted all the way in.
I once blew up RIGHT BEFORE i entered the airlock with a broken canopy.
Haven't cut it quite that close. but less than 30 seconds on the clock.
Now imagine trying to land on a fleet carrier where there is no atmosphere, unlike the coriolis station.
Or outposts
I've had exactly that happen to me before lol. Had maybe 30 seconds left when I finally got repaired.
What if you enter the hangar on a fleet carrier?
@@NinjaZXRR The hangar of any station/fleet carrier/outpost has an atmosphere. The real problem is if the place you're at doesn't let you repair.
@@theenigma7290 more precisely, your oxygen refills the second your ship makes touchdown on the pad, and stops consuming until you lift off, even if you aren’t inside the hangar. However, you don’t get the safety net of the airlock outside of Coriolis, asteroid, and other mailbox stations.
Yeah, try that shit in vr. I had it set to turn off my voice commands when my cabin broke. It's all manual babbbyyy
Nice
How do you hook up voice attack like that? I mean I could do it manually but you seem to allude to it automatically disabling when the cabin breaks
@@UnwovenSleeve it's been a while but I'm pretty sure it was a mod that attached keypresses to statuses like the hull and shields. I'll look around see if I can find it again.

Had this happen in my Oculus VR one time..... Yep, it was pretty terrifying. Held my breath instinctively for a few seconds until the old frontal lobe remembered that there was still air in the room. Haha..
I like how detailed this is, you cant see the HUD because of the broken glass.
Ikr when i noticed that made the game way more terrifying
and the hud is not projected on separated glass pane or isn't fully holographic.
When I first read the title and saw the video was just slightly longer than 5 minutes I went “ohhhh that’s not a good sign.”
I remember when I got it first time myself. I had to make two jumps to get to a system where I could dock. When I was literally next to the station but still in hyper cruise some asshole npc tried to interdict me.I barely escaped then managed to enter the station with literally 10 seconds of oxygen left. Back there I didn't know the stations had an actual atmosphere so I thought I would have to find the pad and land in 10 seconds.
i love the attention to detail. his oxygen stopped depleting as soon as he entered the station
Imagin goin FTL with just a helmet between you and the void.
At least the shields are up
@@meowmeowmeow594 yeah but still
FSD doesn't make your ship physically go faster, if that were the case the ship would've been ripped apart all the same as you would. Instead, the FSD bends space and time around the ship which in a sense shifts it's place in reality. The ship isn't moving much faster than before but reality itself is moving it.
@@heckinboyo1656 yeah
I just had my first canopy blowout yesterday in my Vulture, was really surprised that the HUD elements were on the glass and not holograms or in my helmet!
Glad I D-rated my life support, but might go for a bigger reserve tank in those ships with a lot of glass!
I love how the Wohler terminal literally means "more comfortable/feeling better" in German.
i used to bouhty hunt there when i just started, had my own share of canopy breaches limping back to whohler, once even with a failing fsd, was fun getting that fixed by rebooting over and over again while O2 was draining
@@tibogabriels7901 Gripping the frayed wires in your hand and trying to start it like you're hotwiring a car.
I remember many times where the canopy broke and I didn't make it back. And other times where I literally boosted into the station with 0:03 seconds left. It really gets intense.
I remember my first canopy breach. I was in VR so it was particularly terrifying. I remember in supercruise to the station I had to keep my ship pointed a bit down from the station so that I could see the info on the remaining bits of canopy above.
The hasty supercruise and docking I did was honestly one of my favorite experiences in the game thus far.
Attention to detail still exists in gaming.
Neat.
Kind of.
Unless you consider that the same rounds that smashed the glass directly in front of the pilot would have most likley riddled him full of holes as well.
Of course it does. Outer Wilds (not Worlds) is another great example of it.
@@sgbench Ill have to look it up.
@@danielboatright8887 It's an incredible sci-fi exploration/mystery game. I recommend going into it as blind as possible due to the nature of the game.
@@generalgrevious815 the canopy broke after the the other ship stopped shooting
I know this video is old, but I got my first canopy breach 3 days ago. There should be a training program for it. Thankfully I watched enough of these videos and paid enough attention in training that as soon as it happened and I was heading back to the station I ignored my hud entirely and focused on my radar and bottom left display. I made it back to the station with just over a minute to spare. Immediately upgraded my life support.
Honestly there needs to be an actual in game tutorial mission. The videos arent enough and made me lose interest in actually playing the game.
i had to deal with this once, got in a fight with a gunship of some kind, lost my shields while head on with him, his guns took my canopy out, had to fly home mostly blind and use the unbroken corner of my canopy to check my distance to the station
You know you can fly with instruments only by looking on the bottom left, right ?
You barely have to look in front of you anyway
@@TheKenji2221 I've recently started playing myself, and someone was kind enough to help me get some starting cash and I joined his crew and deployed with one his fighters, we were doing bounties. In that about 40min of bounties I learned so much about the radar, compass, movement in general and got much better at just piloting the ship and as the time went on other than when I was aiming I basically just looked at the radar.
@@TheKenji2221 This, selected stations in SC will show distance away and there is an alignment indicator next to the sensor display.
Also if you go towards the station with 75% thrust all the way you will go perfect speed all the way and then just jump out
@@Manuska_ or you can be a maniac, use super cruise assist with manual throttle, full throttle to get the timer to 6 or 5, 5 sometimes doesn't work and then throttle down to the blueso supercruise assist takes over and then drop out and phase through the station, be careful it can kill you tho
its also very calming if you have a good life support.
If you watch this with a cracked phone screen it's like never actually being completely exposed to the void.
This is probably one of the few realistic games
Well, selectively realistic. I'm not sure you can start to call spaceship games realistic until you at least get to Kerbal Space Program.
I need an explanation for why you dont get sucked out...
@@billiam256 Seat belts
@@billiam256 The vacuum of space is not as world shattering as movies make it out to be. A seatbelt would keep you in place while the canopy emptied, and once there was no more air then there’d be no sucking left at all

Well done, sir. As you say, the first time this happens is a freaking nightmare! I think losing your HUD is the worst part for the first time and those continuous 'alerts' really don't help! :D
*sniff sniff*
is that a reverse viper I smell?
and this is why you don't skimp on life support module upgrades. Better Life support, more reserve oxygen so less panic...
I gotta say, from the breathing alone, that's one chill dude given the circumstances...
This is the longest, most stressful, 5 minute video I've ever watched.
The fact that the HUD only shows on the parts where the glass is showing is just amazing
I started playing Elite in the 80's (yeah I am that old)
I followed basically every game with the Elite name on it.
When I started to play ED, the first time I got into a canopy breach, I tell you all, the sensation was above of a orgasm.
I didn’t know Elite as a series went back further than 2010. That’s really cool
@@americankid7782 1984.
I remember a long time ago in the first couple dozen hours, not even a hundred hours yet of Elite: Dangerous, how terrifying it used to be when this happened... until I flew a Vulture. One of the biggest problems in flying those is that the canopy has the highest chance of failure during combat than any other ship. It's not a matter of if, but WHEN they'll break. I got so used to it happening that I pretty much expected it and timed every engagement accordingly to the mercy of the ship's allowable life support system duration.
The Vulture probably taught me more lessons through baptismal fire than any other ship in Elite. Pushed me to the limits of knowing what I can, and can't do, and have always valued those times and lessons. Thanks for unlocking this core memory.
i have no idea what game i'm watching videos of, but it looks really interesting.
Elite dangerous.
Can be fun. Can be mindless space truck simulator.
It is very interesting believe me
Going to be much better when they release the update allowing for more exploration on planets and space stations via foot.
Elite Dangerous is a space simulator with a game attached to it
That's so scary that you can't see the display because it's part of the actual canopy. Such a nice detail. Wow.
I still can't get over the freaking ship name lol
My first canopy breach I was flying cargo on a type 7, got a bit too confident and tried to fight the pirate that interdicted me. Once canopy breached I knew the fight was lost so I high waked out of there. Was 2 systems away from my destination, got there in one peace and with a whole minute to spare. Since then I never panicked during canopy breaches. The key is to always have a plan in case this happens, and to not panic. Just trust your own flying skills and you'll be fine.
This has inspired me to upgrade my life support
Having D class means 7 min of oxygen and is the lightest variant, so... it's better in all ways unless you want to waste the jump range and power consumption just for some more oxygen that never is going to be used
@@Talon- Having an A rated life support can be quite nice when you're getting started to fight thargoids, canopy breaches happen all the time and most times you'll need more than 7 mins to squash that bug
I lost my canopy in a hazres battle and literaly made it back through the mail slot of the local station with 2 seconds to spare. Proper fudge factory moment!
Fun fact: canopy breach breaks the atmosphere inside of the ship which makes the speakers useless (speakers that are used by the ship computer to simulate sounds outside of the ship so it's not like there are sounds in space but just a computer projection instead)
That sound design is amazing. The enemy ship sounds becomes completely silent since it's artificial sound and entering a station brings back all sound from the air
4:22 like a glove :D
Yes, there can’t be sound in space but what the COVAS chipset does is simulate the sounds of the outside and it is mandatory to have that audio chipset and it is near impossible to hack it to disable it
Try finding out it’s a thing for the first time while playing in vr. Ooh boy it get the heart pumping
Love the detail of the canopy being the heads up display and since its broken he can only see it by looking at an angle
The only way to fix a busted canopy as far as im aware is being in a mid to large ship with a SRV and to land on a planet. Deploy SRV, tell the ship to take off then relog and recall it. Otherwise you gotta make a run to a station (GL if your a few kly's away from civilization otherwise)
you can synthesize extra oxygen
You can either synthesize oxygen or just get better life support. The life support in my ship take 25 mins to run out of oxygen
@@V0ID_Music True you could synth, but in the extreme example it's a bit of tedious back tracking. For example if your out in beagle point the nearest station is 39,386 ly out. So like i said solution is just to SRV and relog. For the most part from a game mechanics stand point there is no need to use anything more than a E rating. Unless your minmaxing your weight and power, at which point you just disable it and only turn it on to refresh the timer. If you're just running combat in the bubble, 5 mins and a synth or two is more than enough to make it to a station.
go to srv, deploy on surface, grab repair tools and fix it manually. Faildevs, please?
@@Dushess At least that would give you more reasons to actually get out of your ship but that would require effort on Fdev's part. As it stands now the only reason for anyone to take higher tier life support is for a longer timer so they can just turn the module off for more power.
You can repair a cracked canopy with limpets or maintenance module. But you cant fix a shattered one without cheesing it with a relog.
"cabin pressure alert" "atmospheric failure"
had this happen once, its terrifying when have to fly to a station. theres NO HUD on screen cause well no window.
luckly i use voice attack as a little help for maneuvering through supercruise and stuff^^
We all start bad at combat xD but stay at it and soon enough you'll be ELITE! >~> then you'll get your permit to founders world and all modules and ships you'll ever need in one place
Even more terrifying when you reach the end of that timer and you hear the pilot gasping for air.
Bad at combat? Man, that landing ...
Yeah lol I'm pretty shit at that too.
I only fly flight assist off, and I still suck at combat flying.
P.S. Never try to ease into it by only turning off rotational correction. That only makes it harder because you have to continuously have roll input to stay level.
Could be worse could buy his first belluga liner and get it stuck in the mail slot xD lost about 30 mill in rebuys till I got used to it
Considering the panic of having 2 mins to live and the shock of realizing your canopy can blow open, I'd say he did fine.
Just got this recommended to me.
How nostalgic it feels to me, I used to farm bounties in Kremainn, exactly at the same spot, until I finally got enough money to buy my FDL.

Christ your landing skills are as strong as that cockpit.
I love how you apparently have the emergency oxygen supply of an anemic... anemic. Several dozen tons of life support module, and what do you get for all that tonnage? 26 ml of O2.
True. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it does cause a lot of anxiety, and I think that's half the fun. :)
It's probably because most of that space is taken up with the oxygen that gets blown out. It's most likely just a recycling system with a small tank of backup oxygen.
@@saeseetiin5585
'a small tank of backup oxygen'
My friend. 26 ml is 0.8 fluid ounces. That is not a 'tank'. That is the little paper cup you dip your french fries into at McDonalds when you want some ketchup.
The Life Support modules in ED have always been the more absurd silly things in the entire game. Doubling the tonnage for every tier up, with the only difference being the emergency O2 supply goes from five minutes, to fifteen minutes, to thirty minutes.
26 ml is what the average human body consumes in five minutes. 156 ml would be what it would consume in thirty. A little over 5 ounces. Anyone really want to tell me you need an additional sixty tons of life support equipment to store a fist full of ketchup packets?
This is one of those things where Frontier Dev decided to just ignore reality for the sake of gameplay balance and put almost zero thought into it. Your cockpit canopy breaks, and the countdown timer starts. Doesn't matter if you could stash 48 hours of backpack oxygen in a canister bolted to the back of your chair. Life support couldn't have more interesting features, like keeping the cockpit from baking while the rest of your ship cooks when overheating, or the canopy acting as a radiation shield. I mean, how good a day do you think you'd have if your canopy busted in combat near a nav beacon two light-seconds off the surface of a G-type star while you're pointed at it? I don't think you'd really have time to ruminate on your O2 timer with how instantly flash-baked you'd be. Somehow, the canopy is transparent while being able to keep you from being incinerated.
Thus, I laugh at the absurdity of the life support module feature. It's a lead weight with a plastic cup's worth of O2 stored in it.
@@atigerclaw Shhhhhh, don't question the ultra hyperventilation of the pilots, they have colorful space suits.
@@atigerclaw I suppose one potential explanation would be if it's involved in the *fabrication* of O²? But at the end of the day I think I'd still rather have a several tonne tank.
I remember this happening one time, and the ship I was using lost its HUD as well. I had to navigate to the nearest starport via instruments only... that was scary.
I can't be the only guy who held his breath after the canopy shattered, and then tried to breathe shallow during the limp back to base.
This person’s a maniac. Rank E life support and challenging bigger ships. Mad Respect.
The true tragedy here is that he was flying a Viper.
That Viper engine noise tho.. 😍
Makes it even funnier the panic flying into the space station and crashing into the landing pad. Been there before
Reverskies in a viper smh. No wonder you lost your canopy
Viper is one of the coolest looking ships though, too bad is so bad for its role 😭
@@sainkanzaki it's a fantastic ship, unless you fly in reverse
Ever been killed through a breached canopy? The SOUND of your canopy breaking is like your gun going *"click"* in a firefight...the panic is almost, if not, immediate and at that point, you're livin on borrowed time...but you are clearly experienced and stayed cool, calm, and collected...made it back to base in one (or a few)pieces. Gr8 vid
That's a ballsy fight for a Viper II. You had half the guns, and less health. Well done, and great flying
this is why i upgraded my life support on my combat vessel, if only a small upgrade. those few extra minutes really make a difference
Had this happen to me earlier this week. Flew through the barrier with six seconds to spare.

The little ball thigy on the right side, right next to the heat readout - very essential piece of equipment. Especially if the glass where your HUD was projected on to is now floating in space a few light seconds behind you.
when I first got my canopy breached, I had also got my fsd broken and i didn't know if i could fix it so i was just randomly pushing buttons to see if there was a repair option while my pilot was desperately waiting to suffocate in the void. It was a great experience.
The same happened to me
I was able to eventually find a button that allowed to cannibalize my other systems to get my trusters working it was more desperate as I saw a enemy ship slowly getting closer and closer to me as I was out of ammo and had no shields
That tinitus effect with the sudden pressure drop is a nice touch.
"Hey, that DeLacy's coming in way too fast-Oh god his canopy's breached."
one time my canopy got breached in a conflict zone, so i hopped back to the nearest station to repair. when i got there, i tried to request docking, but it wouldn't work - i think another system got damaged, sensors maybe?. so i was sat outside this station with my oxygen ticking down, unable to go inside. eventually i went inside anyway without docking clearance so that i wouldn't asphyxiate, then i got blasted by station defences. rebuy cost wasn't too big at least.
I think it's possible it was a bug or maybe the station didn't have any pads big enough for your ship when you were requesting.
Having a canopy break while the only closest Outpost lading port is occupied feels like going to the ER for a collapsed lung and having to wait because someone "kinda felt off" and took the only spot
literally that what happened to me, but i going to the worning station in the first and turn to other station in another system to fix that was very dramatic.
*Krait MKII*
Imagine the force off all that air slamming against you when you enter the station
And this is why I spring for the 25 minute life support option.
Skirting that gravity well that long was the terrifying part.
"So you fill the cup dump it out the window and go again"
People for centuries to come will speak of the adventures of Commander Handherps
I've watched several Elite clips before this, so its actually scary how quiet the game is in this vid.
What i don't understand why some Players don't swap their E class Life support for a D class,
it's better in every way is by far ALLWAYS the lightest + it has a emergency O² supply of 7:30 minutes.
Had this happen in my Anaconda last night, if I hadn't D rated my life support I wouldve been dead and over 10 mil poorer, but that extra 2 or so minutes saved me.
While it gives something to do in the game. That you'd have an oxygen limit never made sense. If the life support systems can replenish the cabin air indefinitely then it could supply a pilots pressure suit indefinitely through a connection instead of a finite amount of time.
You get the oxygen reserves when your life support fails. You can manually turn off your life support in the modules screen and you’ll go on emergency oxygen
@@aegerman6317 You completely missed the point.
I concur. It's happened to me once or twice, and after the first time I was scared so shirtless that I always outfit anything I'm I with the life support with 7:30 of air
Closest i've gotten was 2 seconds before life support ran out but I managed to full speed into a station and get my atmosphere restored. absolutely terrifying
