Thargoids be watching us do this stuff and think to themselves: "Damn... We're seriously losing to *those* things???" XD
Very fun video
Reminds me of that time I was stuck in a neutron star and managed to find the escape vector
Thats the true "No Time For Caution"!
Cause that happened to me..... multiple times
@@BxGStone happened to my friend too. We called the Fuel Rats and they actually showed up to help. Two brave rats died in the rescue attempt
@@N7-WAR-HOUND o7 to those fuel rats
Yes! Next video from Alec! Deliberately enter the Neutron Star "arms" and drop to normal space!
@@cmdrnexus5359 .. and deploy a ship launched fighter! I wonder if that would be possible? 🤔
I'm super glad you put the rolling Krait landing to show the majority of us what to expect lmao, it looked like you dribbled the ship like a basketball a few times
[While launching] Your mission, should you choose to accept it...
Me, already launched: OH I GET A CHOICE NOW, dO i?!
ED is just the MOST UNDERRATED space game ever created.
The four letters preceding "RATED" definitely depend on who you talk to - personally I agree tho! 😆
*Doubt*.
@@alecturner07 "under" is 5 letters
Well I'll be damned ... you're right!
That was some fancy flying, and a fun challenge to watch unfold. I got a giggle out of the music change when you were chasing your cartwheeling Krait down that mountainside. XD
Thanks - I do love it when a less than obvious bit of music just kinda works somehow! 😆
I just love the sound design for this game, a masterpiece
Perfect! I've been listening to Hans Zimmer all month. A masterpiece played over a masterpiece. Nice work! o7 (I wonder if putting the mothership strictly in a flat spin, similar to the movie, or maybe a fast roll since the docking port would then simply spin in place and not revolve around the ship, would make this more or less challenging. Cuz ya know, more is better.)
Thinking about it, although our ship's have a low yaw rate, a flat spin could actually still be really hard to dock with, I might have to try that! I really like this challenge 'cos you kinda set your own difficulty level.
Try that SLF launching & docking over Ody settlement for additional thrill of ground turret fire upon your ship. 🤣
Actually I did that today (see Corvette video linked in description). The gunfire did seem like an odd way to celebrate my rescuing the town from being crushed by a falling Corvette! 😆
There is no way I could ever pull that off, but it looks really cool! I got here from the Buur Pit.
And I now have to try this over a burning conflict zone with life support turned off and a cockpit full of angry bees ... thanks Buur! 😆
Wow! Well done. Its a shame fdev can't force situations like these. Hans Zimmer! Always a legend
Yup - your comment really got me thinking but I'm struggling to think of a way for that to happen. What would cause a cmdr to have to temporarily abandon their ship like this? Maybe if we could somehow board derelicts? And have some kind of CZ over a planet where these derelicts are falling and we need to board them in order to get something from them before they crash into the surface?
@@alecturner07 I think a big thing could be modules (partially) failing when they're not at 100%, like fsd dropping you out too early/overshooting or thruster misfires and stuff like that.
How bored can you get to come up with this 😂 hilarious, looks like good fun. Good flying commander 🫡
I never seem to get bored with Elite! There's always something else I haven’t seen or done and in between I just love flying spaceships and driving SRVs.
@alecturner07 I hear you, I just built a DBS HazRes Dominator with Cytos and Frags a couple days ago. The challenge is to not even get shot at because you never leave their tail 😄🫡
HAHAAH i thought i was dreaming when i started hearing zorba's dance playing in the second half. Excellent video.
I must do that with my 3000T Imperial Cutter in order for it to flat my friend that will be located directly under it if I fail to dock
At a lower altitude, boost up and at an angle and tumble the ship a bit so it’s like a projectile launched from a trebuchet!
SLFs are always fun
Damn shame the only way to truly experience this song is in a theater where the base is pulsing through your chest
Just get a better sound system.
Sure, I'll just tape a solar powered subwoofer to my fucking head while going for a walk.
@@Fuzzycatfur OR get a sound system at home, like normal people...OR take a comment too literal like most gen z...
@@smokeymoe842 hahahaha someone cant take a damn joke.
@@Fuzzycatfur Or... someone is too poor to afford a damn decent sound system capable of some shock and awe. Keep saving.
The work of a true master. I'm referring to Zimmer, of course. 😁
Hey, very cool. You've actually inspired me to open up Coriolis for the first time in many months to see how I can configure a MkII as an explorer with maximum jump range with a fighter bay so I can do this in far away exotic locations.
Also, don't forget to mention set four pips to shields.
o7
Or alternatively ... if you want some genuine jeopardy ... turn your shields off! 😁
@@alecturner07 😄
What a fun ship the Krait is :D
even better extreme docking challenge would be to have to dock while the mothership is dogfighting, having to scream in at ridiculous speed to enter the docking corridor.
Interesting idea ... although I wonder if requesting SLF docking permission causes the mothership to break off from its dogfigthing?
Damn dude this gave me goosebumps nice piloting in the vectoring approach
Mad props! I can barely doc with the ship going in a smooth straight line in space!
I don't think I'm this kind of action hero...
Although, I think in about five years I might have gotten the hang of it. 😉
This is brilliant. And agreed, the music makes it all the better.
Nice flying cmdr!
I'll give this a go on todays stream =D
Cool. I think it'd make a really good group challenge actually - start at something like 10km, anyone who doesn't dock before their ship hits the ground is out (or loses a life) and you lower the start altitude by 500m on each subsequent round. Last one still in when everyone else has lost all their lives is the winner.
This is incredible
That was Epic my dude, o7
That was epic. Must go faster.. must go faster
thank you for this. that mountain at the beginning was majestic!
Yeah, there's actually a lot of fairly awesome mountains on this planet (and others like it). None I would say that rival some of the huge (tho perhaps not entirely realistic) mountains we had in the pre-Odyssey "legacy" game, but still very impressive, especially on thin atmospheric worlds with an atmosphere like this one.
As a German who has a dutch father and plays Star Citizen, a game where your ship explodes when you sneeze to loud at it, my biggest question would be why I didn't see so ein Feuerball, Junge?!
In this instance I'm flying a fairly well shielded and armoured ship on a pretty low gravity planet. Attempt this with higher gravity and/or a weaker ship and it will, for sure, explode on impact (as I discovered several times when I attempted the same challenge in a poorly engineered Federal Corvette on a 0.5g planet). 😄
Nice work. My friends and I used to love doing this when we MCd for fighters, I used to FA off, spin and tumble that bish as much as possible and say, good luck. Don't think any of us ever succeded at it lol. I liked watching yah slowing match that tumble and just....sliiiiiide in there. Satisfying. For anyone who hasn't tried Danger docking, try it, it is very fun, and challenging, and, you honestly learn a skill or two sometimes that you may need in an emergency. :P
Come on, TARS! Come on, TARS!
No Time For Caution makes most things epic!
Now try the same in star citizen with a 3 axis docking alignment indicator, no waypoints, and the the docking requests that fail half the times.
The climax at 3:30 is so epic 😍 thank you for this
For extra challenge and risk, turn your shield generator off first too. :D
WoW Nice Show Alec👍👍👍
I'm just imagining someone standing at the top of the mountain just watching all of this happen lol
WoW !!! really great trip
"Cooper! What are you doing?
- Docking.
- B... but it`s not possible!
-No. It`s necessary"
I just rewatched Interstellar a couple days ago, wonder if that's why the algorithm (all glory to to the algorithm) recommended this video to me.
Who really understand the mysteries of "the algorithm"! Out of curiosity, I'm guessing you're not an Elite: Dangerous player then? (that's my normal audience but this video seems to have broken free of my usual demographic).
@@alecturner07 No I've never played the game, in fact I'm so unfamiliar with it that I did not recognize what game it was from the video.
Vangelis - Conquest of paradise is my go to ED.
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen on Elite Dangerous!
Thanks!
Third coolest thing after Hans Zimmer and Elite Dangerous
That's exactly happens, when you bored with Elite normal gameplay xD
While I hear you and agree that I did this because I was looking for a new challenge I would like to stress that I'm very much not bored with this game and still happily engage with pretty much all aspects of its existing gameplay as well as sometimes going off to try new things.
@@alecturner07Heck yeah. 😎
The music during the second half legitimately had me die laughing in a crowded coffee shop. This is the correct amount of insanity, thank you. 😂
@@alecturner07 SAME!
This is all part of normal ED gameplay, the game allows you to do this so in that regardI see no difference between this, canyon racing, speed bowling, FA Off shenanigans, vomit cometing, combat, trading or exploration. Or flying home from Sag A* with an intentionally broken canopy.
Incredible time for a new hobby
this was awesome
Man, you totally rock! 😜👍
Thank you I now know what I am doing this weekend!
When I saw interstellar in theaters I was blown away! Great video game adaptation of a very awesome moment in the movie!
Marvelous!
That’s brilliant
Holy shit, that mountain is GIGANTIC
Those aren't mountains, they're waves!
Looks fun, thanks for sharing ^-^
This is ELITE!!!???? Extremely beautiful!!!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Yup. it really can be an astonishingly beautiful game.
well done
Well done❤
Once again, the best thing about this game is the community.
Great video and dayem ya krait is up for some beating 😂
Could be a cool sci fi movie moment. Bad guys tractor beam and disable your ship. Maverick badass space pilot vents the cargo hold with manual override. Uses mini fighter to explode bad guy ship. Has to fly back into and restart their now tumbling ship. Would definitely establish that the character can fly and be a tense scene.
So cool!
Very cinematic, captivating, congrats Cmdr.
btw have you attended any media or film director courses?
No, nothing like that.
New challenge: Same situation, but on a high G world!
40G world starting from 50km
great vid man keep them coming!!! o7
The other option for a soundtrack is Mombasa from Inception 😆
Try it out while watching this!
I'll surely try this out in front of a black hole when they'll fix the framerate !
That's awesome!
Awesome. Can't beat a bit of Zimmer. Great idea. o7 Cmdr
CMON TARS!
WOW, This is genius!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Madness
I see why my attemtps failed before now, i forgot to request for docking.😅
Docking like Ethan Hunt
Convenient that the ships can smash into the ground without exploding
Not always by any means - depends on shields, hull and gravity.
LOL! - Btw 'The Buur Pit' shouted you out!
I love this sorta thing - I often play music like than and always planned to do a video with "No Time For Caution"! (Well, an Elite Dangerous one, as i already did a Rust one when helis first came out and i was looting an airdrop from the mini-copter 😂) ← ↑ Comment for algorithm + 👍 'd
Thanks! I've used Interstellar music on quite a few of my Elite: Dangerous videos, it always adds so much extra atmosphere. And yup, saw Buur's vid ... god damn it, now I gotta set myself on fire and fill my cockpit with bees! Nothing I do for that guy is ever enough! 🤣
This, more than any of the FDev added stuff lately, makes me want to go back to Elite 😂
Elite is a great game and a fantastic sandbox too. All the stuff FD have been adding doesn't detract from that whether you happen to like the new stuff or not. Personally I wish they'd devote more errort to the sandbox rather than building all this prescriptive content as you get much more bang for your buck in the long run.
@@alecturner07 i 100% agree. I love elite, and I hope it gets more love and attention going forward.
the comedic timing cant be real
I'm curious which particular bit you mean now. What happened happened but the music was added afterwards and was carefully timed.
very fun ;)
Cooper, it's impossible.
No, it's masochism !
This reminds me of billionaire Arabians tumbling $200k suvs in sand dunes lol
Hahahaha, well, that was amazing, thank you and the YT algo!
Nice
This is so FKING COOL
Sad that Rogue System got abandon. that game had a mission that was pretty much this challenge.
dock with the space station to pull it out of the atmosphere before it explode.
Interesting, never heard of that one.
@@alecturner07 dev got in a accident and lost interest on developing games. And put the current version free on steam
Damn, Elite is really going down the drain if you need a fade-to-black transition to go from ship to snubfighter XD
Oh my god no, not a fade to black, the game is completely ruined. 😆
@@alecturner07 😆Oh no!
Remind me of chasing a chicken.
Just like interstellar xD nice 👍
Ha.. nice! I'm sure we have future space pilots playing this game and will be good training.
nice vid :)
Pretty sure that you can turn fa off on your fighter as well, that would make it even more fun I think and good fa off practice.
Oh wow, I hadn't even thought of that. Now that would be a challenge, I might have to go and try it now!
Almost as fun as geyser launching 😂
You sir have got yourself a sub… gonna try this…
Awesome, thanks ... and good luck!
@@alecturner07 so... was using the krait for AXCZ and... forgot to put shields on it while trying ... 🥲
I just want to know how you even found a planet with a mountain on it...
"Man I don't get what's going on here, what is this guy doing? Why is the music pla..."
1:56
OH DUDE
Hello. What's your control cofiguration, if I may ask?
Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4. I wouldn't necessarily recommend as the sensors tend to stop working reliably on a fairly regular basis (I get through one of these sticks about every 8 or 9 months).
@@alecturner07 understandable.
what is the ship oyu use?
It's a Krait Mk II in this one.
@@alecturner07 thank you! Btw Nice Vid
I need this skin
Is this how the roswell alien ship crashed?
Totally. Alien teenagers playing "extreme docking dare" starting at lower and lower altitudes until one didn’t make it! 😆
Now do it with no shields and high gravity.
Dr. Mann, i repeat. Do not open that hatch.
There is a moment...
Epiiiiic! o7
