My God this, THIS is how a "## facts about..." video should be done.
Facts. Nothing else. Straight, concise, interesting, no fluff.
Seems you got the entire point of the channel in 1 video ;-)
But muh 10+ minute video for ads. I can't stand watching most other game related informational videos because of the rambling. The worst offenders I've experienced is when I tried looking up info on Destiny 2. Single screenshot for a location for an item was turned into a 10-minute rambling video.
Text wouldnt hurt thought :D
More
It would have been better without the unsubstantiated claims of "mind blowing", but I do appreciate the quick video 🙂
And E-rated is S***! 😂
It's hilarious, but also completely true!
Although shit, E rated modules do consume the least power
Exactly the spot where I stopped and started browsing comments 😂
@@iPatrickDesign same. It's paused on my screen as I type that. Legit busted out laughing
2 E class shield boosters G5 offer more overall benefit than 2 A's due to large weight gap and minimal difference at G5
Other videos: top 10 whatevers about whatever: ramble for 20 minutes. Exigeus: 50 facts about elite: 6 minutes 3 seconds.
Fun fact about Elite #51: TH-camr CMDR Exigeus has probably been born in ancient Sparta given his very short and straight to the point manner of expressing himself. This makes him probably the oldest Elite TH-camr with over 2000 years on his back.
Oh that's so damn funny - the reason is talk to me sometime and I'll talk your ear off. I try to hold it back on stream but if you ask me a question be ready for the full answer. That's why I script everything to make sure it's as absolutely brief and to the point as possible, I know you have better things to do than watch my videos
CMDR Exigeous And we appreciate that! Thank you.
@@Exigeous I actually don't, at least while I'm on long distance journeys
“NPCs ignore heatsinks and silent running.” Cheaters.
Joshua Hunt explains so much.
It's a shame too.I created a true stealth ship.On the hud I appear as a far off object.But I can be as close as .9 before being detected.
Ban those NPCs
Maybe they simply have better sensors or their sensors are not based on heat 🤷🏻♂️ PS I know it was meant to be a joke, but it's a bad one :P
There is no ED type simulation, where DEVs resist God Mode programming
I was immediately forced to press like button because of FTL soundtrack! It's just too awesome!
It really is isn't it??
This track in particular is my favorite. It’s the reason I always go through the rock sectors when I can.
I like the mantis music
@@justsomeguy4517 Well then you're just objectively wrong.
(Jk)
I made a playlist for when I play ED and it's got...a lot of Ben Prunty music (composer of FTL and Into the Breach soundtracks)
"deploying hardpoints stops station scan" THANK YOU
It doesn't. I think it was DtEA who disproved it in of his vids?
Also the speed to be going to break scan is 250 not 200.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM there is no speed limit. When you go fast enough, you simply move out of scan range or scan angle of the scanning ship
The repair ALL is actually repair MOST. You need to go to the repairs screen and repair the integrity of the hull.
Are you sure about that? Or is that just the paint job integrity that doesn't get touched. :)
@@LayneBenofsky Nope, Repair on Station Services only repairs the hull, hence the COVAS' response, "Hull repaired", while Ship Integrity on the Advanced Maintenance screen, on the other hand, actually repairs the internal structure of your ship, which is why it's more expensive. The repair option was split in response to outcries of ship repair being "too expensive".
ChozoSR388 stupid question but what does COVAS stand for? I’m a noob!
@@Sinnbad21 COckpit Voice ASsistant Welcome to the community, dude! :) Just remember that the only stupid question is the one you failed to ask.
ChozoSR388 thanks man. I appreciate it!
Awesome tips! Here's a few more.
Chaff will stop a ship from initiating a scan.
Heat sinks will break a scan that has already initiated.
When your ship is stuck in the toaster slot, or on an object, open and closing your landing gear will free you.
The Cutter has the highest possible shields AND the best cargo capacity in the game! Proof of Imperial bias! ;-)
#2 Stations don't scan you, it's the cops flying around.
#10 They work, just as they work against human players. You still appear on sensors as an unresolved track, but you can't be targeted.
#17 That's a myth that just won't die.
#37 Point defence won't target your missiles/mines/limpets or those fired by friendlies.
#45 Again, it's not stations that scan you, it's the cops near them. But the faster you fly, the harder for them to keep their scanning distance of 1 Km.
yeah, i was confused when i started playing and the slot was usually facing anywhere but the body
Also regarding #2 (0:18), Deploying Hardpoints has no effect on being scanned
@@XianHu yeah, why would you risk flying fast if you could just break scan with hardpoints. Still a darn shame so many of these tips don't work.
"Mail slot faces the body its orbiting" All this time & I didnt realise
"There is no dedicated medium class cargo ship"
Type 6: Am I a joke to you?
Answer- yes
You dam right you are... Sidewinder, Cobra, Asp, Python, Anaconda is the way to go, the rest its just a waste of time...
@Nikita Blagay its not large
RTSmaster787 .....yes
Honestly I have no idea why they don't just give the Lakon ships more internal capacity and switch the Python's to military components
Just a bit of fun I thought everyone might enjoy. Of the 50 how many did you *not* know, let me know!
I Just learned 16 new facts about Elite, awesome video as always!
Nice, not too bad - I'm wondering how many know everything, what was an example you didn't know?
I had no idea that deploying hard points reset a security scan, that corrosive didn't stack, how much the guardian modules increase power production, or that the Anaconda had more potential DPS than the Corvette. I'll be honest here, I knew most of the other facts because I've been watching your videos as you post them. :)
I did not know about 25 of them. About half of the 25 I did know, I knew from watching your other videos. So you've learned me a lot :)
I didn't know half of those....
I like the no hand holding approach to this video. No long introduction about the game, no rambling about any one topic. Just concise information to spark an "aha" moment, or teach a tidbit experienced players may not have known/realized. I loved it! And, I learned quite a few new things. Awesome vid.
Thanks, seems you 100% exactly got the point and theme I was going for ;-)
A- Max performance/ B- Best integrity/ C-Economic/ D- Lightest weight/ E Class- worst performance but uses the least power (When power matters but weight doesn't)
*proceeds to show an A-module with 48 integrity and a B-module with 44 integrity
@@matheusribeiro8523 yea maybe over a year later.
Each thing you said about entering stations unscanned makes this video a treasure. I have been doing a lot of transport missions and I hate to lose a multi million payday over a scan.
Here's a good candidate for one more because I only learned it today: If you target something collectable while using collector limpets, a limpet will collect that thing and die. If you don't target collectables, the limpets will keep collecting nearby things until they reach the end of their lifespan.
I have been using the collector limpets for a long time and didn't know this. This is probably because in the past I mostly used them for mining and never targeted the fragments, but now have started to use them for manufactured material collecting too and sometimes try to collect some of them manually as my collectors get the other things.
Also to sound extra knowledgeable, you could have dropped the term "main sequence" to #14 somewhere. Not entirely accurate as red giants are scoopable too, IIRC, but they are rare.
Limpets, etc. - added to the list for my next 50 (or whatever). Also totally correct about scoopables in #14 - how dare I, right?? ;-)
I also just learned that collector limpets die after collecting the targeted collectable if you have one targeted while programming it, I'm nearly positive this did not happen a few months ago when i was mining for Selene Jean.
Yes, I have a strong suspicion that this is something very recent. I was already collecting mats with limpets a few months ago before I went to one of my hiatuses and I don't remember having a problem with limpets dying inexplicably back then.
I've used them recently and they definitely exploded for me - but only if you have something targeted when it's grabbed. So long as you untarget before that you're good
Yes, I used the word "inexplicably" because I didn't have, or wouldn't have back then, had an explanation for the limpet explosion until now. I am aware of how it works now.
an other: rebooting your ship restores 50% shields if they are broken
only if no guardian modules are equipped (and yes, it doesnt work even if you a guardian FSD).
Ah but only if they are charging already, you have no guardian boosters and you're not moving faster than 40ms
a maze of intricacy! ^_^ btw, my in-game call-sign is Silencer_X - I friended you about a week ago, but can't remember where...
It's Guardian shield boosters that don't let a reboot to 50%, you can have other guardian modules just not shield boosters.
That explains why I can't stealth my way out of a tough npc engagement. Well, good to know I'm my first week with the game.
Laughed so hard at Cobra Mk IV, it's an early purchase bonus yet it's nowhere near a good ship. Good job on the troll, Fdev.
Well it can't be a good ship otherwise it couldn't be exclusive.
Brilliant.
Ive been playing since launch with almost 4k hours in game and there were several items here I did not know.
Thank you.
Came for the facts about my new favorite space game, liked for the FTL music in the first moment.
You can store modules in Outfitting and have them replaced automatically with E rateds, even if Outfitting shows none in stock. This is handy when selling a ship. o7 CMDR Gully_Foyle
"Typing clear into chat will clear chat"
-types clear into chat
-Mind blown.
Must be a PC thing, doesn't work on xbox.
This has to be the most epic logo I have ever seen in my life.
Oh, the facts were cool too.
The only one I did not know is that you need a fuel scoop to get a boost from a Neutron star and White Dwarf. Looking back I realized I wasted so much time trying to get a boost when I didn't have one and that's why it did not work.
Edit: That and the fast boot effect for the FSD
Yeah, I figured it would be rare someone would know everything on the list.
same, and the scan reset with hardpoints. I gave up boosting with the neutron stars ^_^
Possibly the best Elite video ever. Now to watch it another 49 times.
Wow, that was the most compressed fact intake on the entire Interweb. Fantastic work sir!!!
FTL Music, instant like.
Awesome video CMDR. Thanks for that. Never thought about the fuel scoop cost. Geesh, thats a lot of millions back in the bank now that I think about it.
Tip 51: Make sure you are ok with giving your crew a fat cut of everything you make because they'll take their cut whether they fly with you or not.
I play a LOT with FTL's OST while cruising the stars in ED, so nice.
”Cannons have no damage fall off unengineered” ... important!! As on that example cannon you used, 3C one, has max range of 4 km. And its fixed. So remember to fill in your lottery ticket on that day you first time hit anything smaller than a star with it on that range! :P
I mean, no kinetic weapons should, its vacuum, pews go until they pew into something.
@@Cdre_Satori This. Everytime I see the damage falloff stat on my MCs my brain shouts "HOW IT'S A VACUUM"
I am an newbie and only got to hit a ship with the cannon when almost sniffing their ship turbines!
Awesome video! Been playing for a year and still discovering new things every play session thanks to cmdr’s like you.
Been playing for a week and im here trying to find INTERESTING stuff to do in this game..............everything so copy / paste, bland, boring.....i really wanted to like this game, but don't know how.
Subbed to all the main ED channels, but this is the channel that is WINNING. Can we get more fact videos please? Like, now?
I'll absolutely do some more once I collect up another list - this took quite a while to produce, coming up with 50 more things is gonna be hard - but it's on the list for sure
Pft. Fine. I'll be happy with the excellent content that you keep churning out.
Damn man!!! Great video. I just came back to elite after 9 months away and your channel keeps poping up on my feed with the best info as always. Thx man for your efforts all this time.
Some interesting ones, I counted 4 I didn't know and I've been an Elite fan since 1984.
I might suggest #51 - LEP owners got the shaft big time ;)
I listen to the FTL soundtrack while playing elite all the time, cool to see it in one of your videos
Thx Commander. Now i have to watch this video over and over again till I figure it out... Great stuff..
NPCs don't "ignore" silent running... It still breaks missile and gimbal lock, they just shoot at you line of sight, just like a player would...
#52. The navigation gimbal points to the landing pad once inside a station. Great video.
I didn't understand most of it, but boy was it fun
Fact #51......................A mind blowing grind for numbers to move on a left panel. Doesn't get any better than that. Good video as always. o7
That only 49 actually. The station facing the body thin was only in the first Elite back in 1984 and was done for performance reasons. Having a black background with a rotating vector graphic kept things smooth. I’ve found many stations in Elite Dangerous where the mail slots don’t face the planet.
Starting with FTL music: truly a man of culture
Love the video and the FTL soundtrack is perfect for this. I did see one error though I'm pretty sure that neutron stars only increase your range by 300% and not by 400% like you said in the video.
It really works great doesn't it, and I just said it funny - it "adds" 300% on increases it to 400% (which is what I meant) From the wiki "a neutron star provides a 300% bonus, effectively quadrupling a ship's range", could have worded it differently for sure.
CMDR Exigeous ahh I see thanks for clarifying. Keep making amazing videos.
love the FTL music in the background
I don't know what any of this means but I like this game
50 facts, 6 minutes. That's why I love you.
Short and to the point comment - ditto my friend ;-)
MORE facts, please. I love Elite Dangerous and want to make sure I get the most out of this game. I'm going to be re-watching this video over and over again for some time now.
Don't worry, more of these are coming, as soon as I get 50 more I'll do another one.
Great video I learned a few things. I think the hardpoint trick works with any npc scan I've used while mining to get away from pirates before they find out I have cargo. I kept deploying and retracting so I could get far enough from the ring to wake out.
funny to because when they start the scan I have my mining lasers out. but when I retracted them and redeployed it halted the scan.
Works really well doesn't it?
Single handed the best ED vid I have seen so far!
Plasma accelerators dont deal 100% absolute damage my friend! They deal 60% absolute damage, 20% thermal and 20% kinetic!
Yeah, I worded that poorly - I just meant to say the absolute damage they deal ignores resistances as you're of course correct.
Yeah, lot of it is quite inaccurate...
Michal Valta such as.
If you have the port selected in a system. It'll show you where the mail slot entrance is on the bottom left display of your ships HUD. Just rotate your ship accordingly for perfect alignment.
"There is no dedicated medium class cargo ship..."
rip type-6
Was very informative, and I like the FTL music in the back ground
Yes, most of these I did not know. Just started with Elite Dangerous :P Also, as someone mentioned, this is exactly how "X facts"videos should be. To the point! Well done.
Thanks and welcome to the channel - seems you've gotten the point of what I do around here rather quickly o7
#51: I was playing elite when elden ring dropped and kept playing for an hour and a half before I finally switched. I've been waiting for elden ring since 2017. I literally cried when the trailer was finally released at SGF.
Elite is a hell of a drug.
I have about 1500 hours in the game - and some of these I still didn't know. Good video! :)
Holy shit the tip about hardpoints breaking scans would have been so useful in my first hundred hours of ED lmao
yeah I didn't know about 3/4s of those. I should really pay more attention.
i used to play the game FTL and I managed to understand how power distribution works in elite dangerous
On Fdev forums that stated due to the timer delay you can't be banned for quitting, but you can for killing task.
And my own tip, ship reboot will instantly recharge dead shields to 50%.
Thanks for the vid though, some interesting stuff, especially stations openings always facing their local body, I can never find the bastards on coriolis stations!
I knew #17 since 1984 playing Elite on my Acorn Electron
Play at 0.75 speed to keep up, and also feel like you are being talked down to haha
This is actually hilarious. I feel like I'm in a remedial school class.
Knew some, but eyes opened because of a few I didn't know (like B-rated fuel scoops!).
The Thargoids Scout's rank was apparently a bug and is now fixed
A fun one I haven’t seen, reboot/repair gives you back 1/2 almost 2 full circles of shield when you reboot back up. For those guys who like to hang out in hazrez and lose shields now and then.
Gotta love the FTL music, truly a fire soundtrack
Thanks for all the helpful guides, if it weren’t for you I may have never picked up this game to begin with or have gotten as far as I have
I only didn't knew 9 of them, but I was surprised by the #50 I never heard of that
having FTLs music playing when playing this game sounds so damn good. It just fits well
On combat logging at 2:10, the first time I played open, some dude threatened to report me over “combat logging” when I just dropped into a nav beacon. His logic was that “if they drop off my contacts, they MUST be a logger”, then he started messaging me a bunch of passive aggressive shit. Once he realized I didn’t actually log, his tone changed. I told him he was ruining my first open experience (not really, but I knew it’d make him feel bad).
Yeah, that's a tough one as for those of us that get logged on a lot - and when I pirate that happens constantly when I'm not even firing - they/we tend to be really sensitive to it. I'm glad to hear his tone changed - but clearly he shouldn't have acted that way in the first place. I hope you've continued to play in Open and have found that save for the really dangerous systems like Shinrarta it's rare you even see another commander let alone get attacked.
This was really awesome and the faster than light music completed it big time
Coriolis stations slot faces the nearest body? Thank you! I hate these bloody stations. Feels like their slot is running away from me, even when following the arrows.
And I didn't know about the hardpoints breaking scans, some interesting facts here.
Great facts! Looking forward to trying the 2 Ship Scan tricks. You did miss out Repair/Reboot gets you 2 rings up after losing them.
Yep, saving up for a 50 More list
10. NPCs ignore heatsinks and silent running
02. deploying hard-points breaks the station's scan
15. player group east india gaming provides rare commodities for engineering and technology unlocks.
This is why you are one of my favorite Elite TH-camrs. You come up with amazing quality content and have an amazing level of direct engagement with your fan base. I'm not sure if it's because you're still relatively small, but man Love how engaged you are with us.
I knew most of them. But several took me by surprise. Like the 200m/s limit for which stations can't scan you. I would just dump heats inks and go into silent running. But then again I don't trust myself to fly a loaded passenger beluga shield less through a mailslot going 200+ hahahaha
That's all great to hear - engaging with everyone is what makes this fun for me - you think editing the 17th engineering unlock stretches my creativity?? It definitely takes more and more time as I gain subscribers but I can't imagine a time when it'll be more than I can handle. I'm sorta doing this full time now so it's just part of the "job" :D
@@Exigeous I would say you can go for it, for the sake of completeness. Its nice to not have to go and read Stu's guide to engineering or AA's guide to engineering PvP ships to figure out what's worth it and what's not worth it. Some of the later engineers seem kinda not worth it. But some do.
If you want my honest opinion...I'd love to see you try to make videos about non-meta builds and point out why certain things work. The reason I say this was because on the Facebook Elite group today, some guy was saying why anyone would bother with the FDL if the Challenger was better in everyway. Turns out he is not a PvPer, just PvE. And while that style of gameplay is great, I think its important for people to understand how the game mechanics work when taken to their limit in a full PvP build. EVEN if they're not going to actually build such ships.
For example. I've heard that E rated shield boosters are a thing...and work in some specialist builds. I've also heard that Clean Drives use a lot less power and run far cooler. I mean I know that clean drives run cooler and E shield boosters exist. BUT! Would it be possible for you to build a few example ships with such "non-meta" modules? Perhaps explain why such modules might be very situational and why they really aren't optimal?
Just trying to give you ideas. I mean if I hadn't checked out the statistics myself, I would have thought that MRPs were the way to go rather than Guardian. Because I used to think MRPs were engineerable and thus immediately better than Guardian modules. I was stunned to learn that MRPs couldn't be engineered and thus, should you have the extra power, Guardian ones were becoming the new meta. At least in some cases. Clean drives seems to be appealing for a very heavy rail gun build or Beam build. Mostly because of less power and heat. Thus, Clean drives could be viable on a twin APA focused Vulture with a Biweave.
MAYBE Exigeous, I'm talking out of my ass. Its likely all I just mentioned is utter garbage at PvP but it might just provide an edge above PvE ships. Kinda like the intermediate playstyle between a full on PvP league ship, and the semi engineered PvE ships most players in Elite have.
Just throwing ideas out. I love your content, see ya in the black!
don't forget that neutron star jump boost sacrifice your fsd module hitpoints so bring afmu if you are using neutron highway.
I never realised the 2 you mentioned about being scanned!!! Will come in quite handy in the future, thabk you!
Clarifying combat logging - is when you task kill (alt+f4) the game during combat. Logging out via the menu by waiting the 15 seconds is allowed but frowned upon and gets you on every gankers' kill on sight list.
Holy crap, as a noob I had to pause and think about 1/2 the facts to actually understand them and try to memorize them. Thank you.
"Fuel Rats will save you anywhere if you run out of fuel"
I was so frustrated that I ran out of fuel in the middle of the Federation space (Where there are some systems without stations) and forgot to outfit a goddamn fuel scoop, I managed to get to a station and refuel.
First upgrade I am going to buy. There is never a time when you do not need fuel.
New player here... very helpful info 5 years later!
Nice, quite a bit I had worked out but definitely some bonus ones in there, ty sir.
The FDL also has 4 large hard points, not just type 10 unless FDL wasn’t out 2 years ago, which I’m pretty sure it was
“...C Class are the best value, D Class the lightest, and E Class are SHIT”
🤣
Yep, pretty much sums it up!
Man that was the best info overload ever experienced.
Nice video, CMDR. I don’t know how I missed this but will be sharing it around. So many little details in this game that so many don’t know. O7
The mail slot faces the planet and 30 degrees above the equator. While fuel scooping, if you go above 65% heat, the !-triangle icon will appear in the top right. As long as you're above that temperature, your temp will keep rising - it will never be stable while scooping above 65%.
I wasn't aware of the synergy between the Guardian PP and PD. And some of the details about a couple of the weapons I wouldn't have been able to recall exactly, although I'd heard them before. I guess I've spent far too much time on this game, lol.
Fantastic Stuff! I look forward to more engineer unlocks and Player Group collaborations.
I've got the last few left - then a over-view / progression video when they are all finished
well done! This format may set a new standard
Exigeous got 1 tips people might not know about Point def were if the owner lunch mines or missile from his own ship and his point def doesn't activate and shoot it
Yep, they won't shoot down *your* stuff but will anything else.
"The type 10 is the only ship with 4 Large Hardpoints." Laughs in Faulcon DeLacy Python Mk 2. It only took 5 long years.
wow holy shit, amazingly helpful video. Exactly what a tips video should be, was almost too fast lol
You've got a new subscriber, thank you very much!
Great choice of music, FTL is such a great game!
Some of these I haven't noticed before. Thanks.
Thanks for all the great tips! Im sure its far past time for this to matter, seeing as this video is 4yrs old, but it would be nice for you to place a very slight, audible que 'beep' or say something short n sweet like 'next' before going into the next tip. I understand your probably trying to keep this from being twice as long, but its tough, especially for a noob such as myself, to tell if your still talking about the previous tip or if your on to the next, resulting in alot of rewinding (yes Im old ;-) Seriously though, really great tips!!!
Awesome video! Another awesome job CMDR Exigeous! Keep up the good work!
3k hours in the game and this was still helpful AF.
Me: Plays the video waiting for at least 5 minuts of introduction and crap talking.
CMDR Exigeus: Starts talking the top50 right away.
Me: Wait that is illegal!
