    It's not for everyone, but I really like Elite. It's sort of what I always wanted games from my childhood like X-Wing Fighter and Colony Wars to be. A massive open galaxy to explore or even conquer. Also, gotta get busy running Onionhead and Lave Brandy to afford a new Krait Phantom.

      @ArcherAC3 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yeah, I want to really like Elite but I just can't.
      The main problem I have with it is the way combat and player interaction works. We have such a huge galaxy and play area, but players interaction and combat is always confined to a small spot.
      I loved Battlestar Galactica Online so much because combat could happen from huge distances with many ships and strategy involved. You'd have support ships playing Electronic Warfare, you'd have bigger ships drawing fire and shooting cannons, and you'd have fighters launching nukes or intercepting huge missiles. The scale was simply awesome and it was so much dynamic even with its flaws.
      Now in ED, although space is "huge" there, every player interaction is close quarters, like playing ArmA but only being able to get in combat with enemy players in a COD like environment. Every combat is a dogfight in ED, your maximum detection range is just a joke and even worse are the actual weapon firing ranges.
      I remember having my small fighter froze between some asteroids and behind enemy lines in Battlestar Galactica while relying intel to friendly units about an enemy group that started flaking them. I also could not lock the enemy ships or they'd get a warning, possibly spotting me. That felt so stealthy satisfying.
      Elite had so much potential for this depth and dynamic type of interaction, had it been different in its core. I just can't like this same "jump on top of ships" only type of combat we have, it's always the same thing and gets boring very quickly

      @@ArcherAC3 There are so many other games where I can blow things to bits, I kinda ignore that aspect in Elite unless I am forced to. There is a lot more to that game than combat and PvP content, otherwise I wouldn't be playing. But well, if that's the only thing you are interested in in a game, Elite may not be what you are looking for.

      Cool idea. You'd probably need coherent light, aka light emitted from your ship with known phase, and you wouldnt use visible light, you'd use microwaves or radio-waves. Added feature to this is if your ship is in stealth mode, you wont be able to hear anything, as transmitting microwaves isn't a very good way to stay stealthy.

    I think I am done with Elite Dangerous. Until they add space-legs. I mean they are doing a great job keeping the game going, but playing since... I wanna say before fed/imp ships were a thing, it's just so boring now. I have explored, gone to Beagle Point and Colonia. I have mined, fully optimized Type-9 and made a good amount of credits. I transported passengers, probably the most profitable thing ever. I have gone one man army Python and overthrown entire systems into chaos. I have retired to a life of smuggling and minor combat in a Krait, my favorite ship so far. But I blown most of my credits on insurance from Thargoids and I am done. I don't know, great game, recommend people play it. But take some breaks after you achieve your goals. Get the ship you are going for, fly it around than play something else.

      You are the only person in these comments that is leaving Elite because you truly and honestly did everything there is to do in it. No complaining, no bitching about the lack of space legs (we all want it) and you even said you had fun.
      It really bugs me that so many people leave negative reviews on the game and they only barely scratched the surface. It plays like a MMO; you have to work towards getting what you want, and I mean you'll have to WORK towards it. The fun comes from the reward and you'll feel accomplished for getting it. (Though, it'll probably help if Frontier stops trying to sell the game as an action game. >.>)

Sounds like you’ve lived elite, and you’ve lived dangerously, and now after years of scouring the galaxy for violence and profit, you’re now somewhere in the universe patiently waiting for the next big event, or to die after a life time of adventure and hardship.

Unless you are talking about Oculus Go which costs about 200$, and is already out for some time now - no PC connectivity there also.
      If you got a decent/powerful PC I suggest you try getting a WMR headset like Lenovo Explorer. You can get pretty awesome deals on it right now, and from personal experience I can tell you it's great entry level PC VR. Side note: for E:D the best WMR would be Samsung Odyssey because it has oled screen = the black of the sky is superb (other WMR's have led screens so blacks are actually okay-grayish).

      ​@@q23main thanks a lot for your detailed answer! I haven't been following VR technology in a while and now thanks to your answer I realize I can get a WMR headset for just about those $200 I was aiming at! And we're not even talking about a stand-alone "fake VR" set, but a fully fledged, PC connected, Steam compatible VR set! Amazing!
      So I just ran the Microsoft compatibility tool to check if my system specs are compatible with WMR and all tests passed! Great! :)
      But I am still wondering... how those costly VR sets like the HTC Vive compare to WMR headsets? I mean, does a WMR device actually offers the same VR features, at such a lower price point? Or is there a catch? I am not interested in a graphics quality comparison or FOV level comparison as I assume HTC Vive might still be better at that... but I am more interested in trying to understand whether or not WMR visors offer FULL VR (e.g. full room tracking). If so, how is it possible that FULL VR systems like HTC Vive require monstrous PC builds and WMR devices don't? Can't really wrap my mind about that...! Anyway... thanks again for taking the time to wake me up! :) Now I know It won't take long before I will be diving into breathtaking virtual spaces ;)

    I hope you always make videos about space games. It's nice to see a true nerd pointing out the science behind everything.. and that's one of the things I've loved about Elite since Frontier, y'know. Sure I'm flying around enjoying the bleeps and clicks and engine noises and views, being a space tourist, but also a lot of the things I learn about Elite are real things (I learned the term AU as a teenager from Frontier, the classifications of stars, felt the size of solar systems (more keenly in Dangerous), learned their names, and today the names of the galactic regions.)
    I can be exploring a rocky planet around a pulsar in the Inner Orion Spur, and who knows? It might be out there. Humans might go there some day. This is my galaxy, and this is how it feels to fly around it in a super advanced spaceship at 1 to 1 scale.. or as near as we can manage in a game right now. It's hard to really relate how it feels to fly to the edge of the galaxy, watching huge nebulae approaching, get a sense of how far you are from earth, and having no more stars ahead.
    And sure, cockpit feel is nice and pew pew is fun too.

    Previous system was really unsatisfying not only because it was tedious, but also because you had no reason to actually *look* at the planet closely: all you want is to scan that bright dot and go forth. This made admiring all the beauty of the planets a waste of your time. But now it's different, and i am so glad. Probably even enough to start playing again.

    Elite is just kinda a hollow game to me. Then again, the last time I played it was before planet surfaces... There's not a whole lot of interesting stuff to it after like 20 hours imHo. I mainly did bounty hunting and the ai was just a bit weird... it kinda detracted from the fun. That all being said, it's a very good EXPERIENCE. It's very sharp, but also kinda empty, while also having a lot of slightly out-of-place generated ships and stations. It's great that they're still updating it! The biggest issue I have though is that they've split up features behind paywalls, such as planet surfaces.

For example this update is free and adds a massive amount to the game. Considering the game has been out for several years and only had 1 DLC which is very cheap to buy now, and virtually given away if you buy the game from scratch. Its pretty hard to make a case for paywalls.

      Speaking as someone who was so fed up with the state of the game a year ago, told off the developers and the community in a grandly offensive fashion and quit, I can assure you that a year ago the game would have been barely recognizable to someone who quit in the first year. This update is "Almost" enough to bring me back, but I want to see what the next season brings first, and this update changes/adds a serious amount of content.
      Splitting content is just going to happen to this game, sadly. Their ambitions are high and their budget is, compared to their ambitions, very low. It's just an economic fact that they're going to have to release certain pieces of content as expansions to keep funding the seasons. Cosmetic microtransactions aren't enough. I don't mean EA or Activision "Not enough" either. It's a niche game, they don't have hundreds of thousand of people jumping on every new skin that hits the market.

Like saying you can't understand why magazines or newspapers "paywall" people before they can read their news. Transactions for desired goods have and always will be a part of life. They didn't "paywall" landings, you simply don't value planetary landings at the prices they offer, which goes towards bettering the game (been as low as $10 sometimes).

    • @Valen-vl5ds
      @Valen-vl5ds 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      When an explosive goes off the explosive material is turned into gas and expands rapidly. This expansion pushes air away from the explosion and that's what creates the wave which we hear as sound and feel as pressure. If their is no air there is nothing to push and so there is no wave which means no sound. However if you're close enough to a big enough space explosion the actual cloud of gasified explosive could potentially hit your ship and shake the walls which would then shake the air which makes a wave that you can hear. I don't know if its actually possible to be close enough to a big enough explosion to do this with out being too close to survive. For you're ISS example i think the only way for the astronauts to really "hear" the explosion would be if the grenade was right against the ISS and then you would just be blowing a hole in the ship.

      Actually, they can't be too bright, otherwise they'd melt the engine and overheat the ship. (This is one of the challenges facing nuclear rocket engineers in real life. Sure, nuclear gives you awesome thrust *and* exhaust velocity, but how do you keep all that energy to itself?) A proper engine won't look bright unless you're standing in the exhaust.

      Funny thing about Newtonian Physics Bobcat, light disperses in relation to the distance traveled. Also, someone suggested the light from the engines should be enough to light up the planet a little, but they failed to realize that engines, especially main thrust engines are only used for major course corrections or deceleration/acceleration burns. Maneuvering thrusters typically only use gas and not rocket engine type thrust as there doesn't need to be that much force to alter your direction in the small increments required to movement around a planet. Oh and contrary to movies, while flying in your spaceship, your engines are not on all the time. They only ignite for the burns that are required and then shut back off.

    I've been waiting for mining overhaul. There are two good ways for space mining to be; either "zone out and mine everything" and even though the stuff you got wasn't that valuable the volume of it and lack of effort made it worthwhile, or "make it complex but very lucrative". Before, mining was too complex to zone out to, but not lucrative enough for the time you needed to spend to target the good stuff. (Running passenger missions was _way_ better both in effort and in monetary return.) I'm hoping to find it more fun now.
    The other reason I stopped playing was that grinding materials for upgrades took waaaay too long. Seems like they might have made at least the planetary stuff a bit easier.

    Unfortunately, the new Asteroid mining requires four additional module types (Pulse Wave Scanner, Abrasion Blaster, Subsurface Missiles, and Seismic Charges) on top of at least collector and prospector limpets as well as a detailed surface scanner, sufficient cargo to hold all of your limpets, and separate controls for all of these modules.
    For me to be engaged and interested in the new mining mechanics, I would *require* the following from Frontier:
    - The function of the Pulse Wave Scanner incorporated into the Detailed Surface Scanner. You aren't going to be able to effectively use the new mining mechanics without a DSS anyway, so needing an extra module to scan for hot asteroids is more complicated than necessary.
    - The three mining weapons could be combined into a single module with multiple modes, e.g. Explosive Mining Multitool. The heads-down display could cycle the EMM between its various modes, especially since the heads-down display is, I feel, woefully under-utilized.
    - Existing mining lasers should be able to perform everything that the EMM could do, albiet at less efficiency or with more player skill required. For instance, the default mining laser mode could be configured for Subsurface Rupture, heating pockets and rupturing the minerals out in small clouds, but the yields won't be as much as if one used an EMM in Subsurface Blast mode.
    - The scan mode for minerals (via Pulse Wave Scanner or incorporated in the DSS) needs a configurable option to select the types of minerals you're looking for, rather than just any mineral at all. Asteroids can and should have mixed compositions, but finding an asteroid with a higher-than-average concentration of a desired mineral should be something players can do without having to go P-limpet every single orange or not-orange asteroid.
    - Fracturable asteroids need to be significantly more common, any asteroid over a certain size/mass, and with an average distribution of one every 20km or so.
    I responded with these points on the Beta feedback forum, but it was, naturally, ignored by most other players and, consequently, development staff.
    (Also a single type of Drone Bay module [sizes 1,3,5,7, grades E-A] to replace existing limpet controllers with its own internal Limpet storage and multiple potential Controller modules - larger bays could fit more controllers and limpets - would be a very welcome addition for mining and other activities.)
    Other than that, Chapter 4 looks pretty fantastic : )

      The drone bay concept resolves both of these points; it gives them their own separate storage, and synthesis would restore half or all of that storage, making the recovery of certain limpet modes unnecessary, and others only marginally beneficial - I wouldn't say no at that point, but I wouldn't feel punished if they weren't.

    If you wanna enjoy this game, honestly, just play in VR. I did, I lived in this game, it was amazing, until I got bored. I may just jump into VR Elite again. It has certainly piqued my interest.
