The amount of work put into what is basically cutscenes is astouding. I'm a new ED player and was transfixed just by FSD jumping, this is another level.
You'd be surprised just how much work goes into making Elite Dangerous a immersive game. For example, did you know that you can experience a Fleet Carrier departing from and arriving to the area you're in? Coverwatch (this video's uploader) has a couple videos for those situations, titled "Elite Dangerous - Fleet Carrier Hyperspace Jump Departure (Outside View)" and "Elite Dangerous - Fleet Carrier Hyperspace Jump Arrival (Outside View)". P.S. Welcome to the galaxy, Commander! If you ever need help understanding your way around the galaxy, don't be afraid to ask. (Although, don't ask me - I'm new too! haha)
Welcome to the galaxy, Commander. If you need any help, you can contact me. I can help you set up your ship for passenger run near for credit grind to buy bigger ships. O7.

@@cmdrtianyilin8107 As another new player I'd just like to know - am I working towards a Corvette or something else as a Bounty Hunter (at least for the forseeable future, I do like hunting down AI, they're actually difficult in this game) EDIT - to give some context, I already own a Vulture and Krait MK2 as my main squeezes and just bought an FDL but I'm not too keen on the cockpit view rn so I've docked it for later to play around with when I feel like it, the Krait is partially engineered, but I wanna try myself at the big boys now.

@@stankobarabata2406 Nothing outclasses Corvette when it comes to combat. It's the absolute destroyer. I'm talking about bounty hunting and other stuff though, combat against the Thargoids is a different matter and smaller ships are preferred for that due to maneuverability.
Whoop Whoop Whoop. Greetings and o7 commander. Having a blast myself owning a Victory Class Carrier for a week now. It is a whole new world for traveling and finally having a permanent storage capability. It was kind of a long grind but totally worth it. The AX combat pays well for me. Safe travels!
I do find it interesting that instead of it jumping normally like any other ship it opens its own warp tunnel. Like a miniature lightning storm in space
@@copperthedergy I won’t lie I find the animation much more interesting than what we use, if there were a way they could retrofit a modern frame shift drive with the older generation light speed travel it’d be much more interesting. Being able to utilise modern technology and safety measures to ensure the older drives are safer to use for every pilot
@@copperthedergy That makes sense - I remember that the hyperspace entry/exit clouds in Frontier and First Encounters had lightning coming out of them.
i wonder whose idea it was that these warp tunnel have something that looks like clouds and thunder. is it just inspired by earth storms or based on some actual physical assumptions about bending spacetime?
@@Beatsbasteln there is probably lightning and thunder involved in the violent process of creating a star but using them as warp effects are purely inspirational in my opinion.
I love just how deep the bass gets during hyperspace. It really sells the fact that this isnt just a tiny little ASP Explorer jumping through Witch-Space. It's a gigantic hunk of metal aggressively tearing its way through to get where it wants to go.
Yeah I stopped playing around the same time. I can’t remember exactly the name of model of my last ship, but I think it was named after a whale, beluga or orca or something
With fleet carriers, jumping through the witchspace seems almost sinister in nature, creaking and bending as if pushing something through where one's never supposed to be.
As someone did say, but couldnt find that reply anywhere. The Empire's capital ship had been interdicted by the Thargoids. And I also think the same had happened for the Federal capital ship. I think it both happened early of the second Thargoid war. Or what would become the second Thargoid war
The thing is, I'm registered at Fleet Carrier Owners Club (FCOC in short) and anyone can track where the carrier is and where it is going live on that server 😁
@@coverwatch No doubt, and I've always taken the view that if you leave your ship parked on someone else's carrier, you do so at your own risk, but one thing the world's never short of is idiots.
@@Dafmeister1978 Just like when they first got introduced... people were upset of the amount of upkeep needed to keep these things going... completely forgetting that they are _FLEET_ Carriers, not _ME_ Carriers.

Grind is quite long and boring if you play by yourself but there are very helpful communities out there to help you get the cash quickly. Ping me if you decide to try the game.
Carriers are a money sink. Not just the initial purchase of 5 BILLION credits for the barebones setup, but also the additional purchases of services that many players deem essential for many valid reasons to make it a truly mobile base. Then there's the fact that you have to pay UPKEEP because what you have also done is hire a crew via an intermediary company, you are paying the crew to upkeep YOUR carrier FOR YOU. That's lore direct from the game. And the more services you get, the higher the upkeep costs. You can disable those services to mitigate the upkeep costs and even disband those services entirely, but you can only do these things and more in specific systems that support Carrier Administration of whatever it's called. It's been over a year since I last played and I'm due to go back in and assess whether or not my Carrier is at risk of decommission. When you fail to pay the upkeep you become delinquent and the extraneous services are locked out (and probably more, don't remember, it's been a long time). Either you pay the debt or your nice Carrier gets repo'd. So don't buy one unless you're me who likes the Carrier as a mobile base and yet doesn't play ED often because I get bored of it quickly. Join a discord, make friends and savor your time playing ED because it is an ocean wide yet ankle deep with no new ships in years. FDev breaks promises and disguises it as simply backtracking on their word and changing what they'll deliver while being somewhat ambiguous. Don't buy the Odyssey expansion, you're better off playing Star Citizen or Helldivers 2 if you want that kind of boots-on-the-ground experience. Odyssey is bland, empty, boring and the rock-paper-scissors dynamic with the firearms is ridiculous. But hey, now you have a mobile base that can also serve as your own personal shop, warehouse and even your BANK! Well...private bank...technically. You need to store your credits on your Carrier and from that the upkeep is paid. You can transfer credits remotely too which is neat.
depends how you play - I was considering grabbing my first carrier as a solo player shortly before I got distracted by something shiny and took a break - was only playing for maybe half a year, and not at all trying to grind... kind of the opposite. I liked Elite especially for the lack of grind (mostly - there absolutely are grinds if you like that stuff lol) - I'd do space trucking when I felt like it and the core gameplay is so engaging it doesn't feel like a slog at all... and I was rolling in credits - buuuuut to each their own probably wont know what you like until you try it.
I'll never afford one of these lmao. The most grinding I could tolerate was to get 2 billion. Thanks for the vid of one of the coolest things in the game.
It's pure chance, sometimes the transition is seamless, sometimes there is a split second disruption. Hyperspace exit is the same, it is seamless in this video yet sometimes it abruptly arrives at destination.
@@Gamer-freak93 the carrier does open fire to any hostile ship within its range and it's deadly, vaporizing even a corvette in seconds. But it doesn't discriminate when firing so you can also be killed by the friendly fire of your own carrier if you are between the carrier and the enemy.
Wait, this is Elite Dangerous? what in the shit did I witness.. it was like ff 8 GF summon. like a freaking movie. we can Jump into Darkspace now?! that was rad af. that spool up is so bad ass. I would jump just to jump. lol
looks like the developers have FINALLY fixed the blend-in-effect on the exit animation. Took them more than two years to do so, but I guess - better late than never, eh?
So sad the game is going p2w soon :( This game is amazing the way it is, but the massive potential it still has is absurd. Unfortunately I don't think FDev will be capable of tapping into it.
I stopped playing when they changed the game so much that I didn’t enjoy it anymore. Then when I logged back in several months later I lost my carrier, like they punished me. If they think I’ll come back and go through all the grind to get another one, they’re crazy. I really hate what they did to the game that played for over 5000 hours. (That is not a typo).
@ Soheil-ev6ls with how much it costs to keep a carrier running, you can make enough for a week’s worth of upkeep in about an hour… way less than that if you have a ship with heaps of cargo space and find a good trade route. 15 minutes and you can run your carrier for a month. Yes… very toxic. I’m about as casual as casual gets, yet I have enough credits to keep my carrier running for 2 years…
I love that 1000 years in the future all the ship and station speakers still sound like you're waiting on a shitty railway station platform in Western Sydney...
