Beautiful images Obisdian. You are an inspiration to explore the world of elite.
Spooky that you released this just as I'm visiting the bottom of the galaxy. I found a black hole system with a landable moon and it's pitch black on the dark side.
You got a name for it when you hand in the exploration data? I wanna go have a look down that way, and I want a goal system :)
Yea bud share that location real quick for a brother
I won't be back any time soon - I'm heading off to the other side of the galaxy. Just head for Sag A* then plot a course straight down until you can't go any further. Once there, start hunting for black hole systems.
Oh hell yeah, Elite: Dangerous with ObsidianAnt. Bought the game on saturday, now ordered the Saitek X-52. But dang this game is complex. Glad I have your tutorials! Greetings tryddle!
EDIT: Wow, I never got so many nice comments! Thank you very much!!
Awesome! I'm used to playing this game on XBox. My son plays Elite on a PC using the Saitek X-52 and Oculus. This game is unbelievably great in VR! Very immersive!
welcome, and o7
I've had that controller for a few years now since Elite Beta its excellent and I could never imagine playing Elite or any other flying game without it ever again.
tryddle, welcome to the CMDR's club. :)
o7 Welcome to the Pilot's Federation.
I love these videos. They inspire me to spend more time exploring.
Amazing job with the music there, kept getting goosebumps from that atmosphere you were able to set with it. Can't wait to see more Discovery videos
You should have a series on the Discovery channel :)
Screw Discovery, all they have now is trashy reality. My vote is for Science Channel! :)
There needs to be a discovery scanner channel
I'm so far from the bubble in my G5 Cutter. I Haven't seen anyone in a long time. Close to two years, heading to the station near SagA to sell off my exploration data.
That last system was pretty amazing. Can you imagine what kind of culture/religion would evolve from such a stark contrast in settings from the plentiful light of the day to the immense dark and cold of the night. Amazing stuff.
Lovely video, gorgeous visuals. But the thing I liked most about it was the excellent choice of music. Well done, Ant!
Really liked the title transition into the video. Nice work! As always, great content!
I do miss how excited you used to get about this game. It's what used to get me excited to play all the time.
A fantastic video, Ant. Always a joy to see where you go next and the Many beautiful places you go to
Really appreciate these vids. Especially as I'm nowhere near getting a ship capable of reaching these places!
This is one of my favourite Discovery videos. Love the music at the beginning.
Elite Dangerous Discovery - Darkest Places in the Galaxy? The official Forum, I would assume.
I know your comment is 2 years old but I’m still gonna say I love it lmao
The community can be depressingly hostile
@@kevinflaherty1 No, problem with a late comment.
So the forums didn't have changed at all, I guess. Imagine my utter lack of surprise.
Great vid as always, ant. Lovely intro as well
The Coalsack nebula was the first nebula I ever visited. Crazy how dark it was in there. It gave me the exploration itch. Haven't scratched it much, but about to head out across the galaxy with some buddies and 3 built up Anacondas. Hoping to find some dark places for pictures.
Stunning video.
This really is a fantastic series.
Dude, you’re the David Attenborough of Elite Dangerous. I love your vids.
I love how it almost looks like fire on the horizon at 7:12.
That track around minute 5 sounds really epic
It sounds like one of the songs from Interstellar. If you listen closely to the video, there's what sounds like a ticking clock, which is a leitmotif in Interstellar.
Almost done my VR cockpit... Can't wait to get back out there.
What is the song playing in the background at 4:45? It sounds really cool!!!
The Event Horizon 3 - Johannes Bornlöf Had to look it up for myself. Got a bit of an Interstellar Soundtrack "Mountains" Feel to it
Eric Borchert Thanks! I thought it sounded like interstellar but it knew it wasn’t... thanks for the help!!
You make quite superb videos Mr Ant.
It's like watching Planet Earth, but in space. I can listen to you talk about our galaxy all day.
Great work, inspiration to go on a week's trip somewhere.
4:10 Hmm.. That music sounds like a mix of some horror / drama movie like DaVinci Code and, of course, the Interstellar. Yeah, I know you have to dodge copyrighted music and that's completely fine. This actually sounds very good. I'm always a fan of dramatic classical music or even spooky. :)
Cheers
The bubble is plenty dark when you get back there after spending months in Colonia or around the core. I was back there for a couple weeks and I never got used to how much darker it was before I got dragged back to Colonia with the Enigma expedition. As they say, everything is relative.
Hi Obsidianant, I have an gameplay feature idea and would like to know your thoughts. Random wormholes which transport you to random points on the other side of the galaxy. So you can role play a lost in space scenario
Great images! Question: are u still using Warthog ?
Were this not part of your discovery series, I would have expected this to be about sinister locations :)
Sweet! Love your videos OA!
you deserve applause for not saying first =D
;)
Hi ObsidianAnt, a question which configuration hardware do you have on pc?
Isn’t that Interstellar music you played in the Formadine Rift?
I’m actually planning a coop expedition out there soon. First time I’ll have gone more than 1KLy out of The Bubble.
Stunning, as always!
I now have a firm grasp of astronomy thanks to this game. Good video! Hope to see you on DW2 O7 Cmdr Leonardo White
I just wish I could explore in my Vett instead of the Asp being the only option where you get decent jump and fuel
I'm pretty sure the DBX has the furthest jump range possible. Anaconda makes a great long range ship too, if you don't mind scooping fuel every 10 seconds. :)
Then I suppose I'm crazy exploring with Imperial Clipper.
Anaconda easily out jumps a DBX... DBX is second (well, further down than that if you consider various increasingly more robust Anaconda builds which still out jump every other ship, because it is crazy OP), AspX is third. The problem with the DBX is that it can't fit a large fuelscoop so it takes a lot longer to refuel even after one jump than the other two. The only problem with the Anaconda is that it turns like a cow (well, other than cost, but that shouldn't be an issue for anyone with a Vette)... the shortage of fuel is a problem that can be solved because it has so many internal slots. So just buy a fuel tank if you want more... it will take a bit off your range, but not so much (and you don't have to run it completely full when you want that range back). AspX is the great compromise explorer... doesn't excel over the others, but you get a good ship at a good price.
I'm exploring in my Clipper rn. About 240 jumps from Sag A*
As far as I am concerned the Anaconda is a highly recommended big ship for exploration.
@ObsidianAnt What is the name of the system that you showed at 7:16?
Best vid yet. Love the darkness.
I'll make my Trip into deepspace This friday and Plan to return on thursday the following week. Really hyped about it (I'll have an operation on monday so I won't be able to work therefore it's elite time)
i remember my first trip in to the rift. anaconda with something like 40ly. at that time we only had some hints about thargoids and the mystery was bigger. i left the nebula and i was hearing the logs of the sattlements. the frear of the unknown and the darkness was stunning
How long does it take you to make these journeys?
TrueStrike he uses multiple accounts
Ah yes, that'd do it!
weeks
It really depends on your jump range and how thorough you want to explore systems. If you have a jump range of 50+ light years you could "sprint" at over 1,000 light years per hour. If you've got a jump range around 30 light years and completely survey every fifth system, you could spend 40+ hours to travel only 4-5,000 light years. You could sprint to Beagle Point and back to the Bubble in a week but not get much exploration data. Or, you could spend a month meandering to Colonia and make a fortune on the data.
Can you start posting names of locations of the places you visit in these types videos? I know you do in some videos, but you omitted them here.
Ant, I wish you'd include the location names in the video description, I simply don't understand the name of the first nebula you'd been in. Is it "Corset Nebula"?
Coalsack Nebula.
I love just landing on planets and taking screenshots haha its too fun
I don't know how he makes those beautiful and stunning cinematic like shots...and at this point I'm to afraid to ask.😂
imagine elite with rtx lighting, mirror polished chrome painted ships anyone?
Beautiful video!
How long do these video's take to put together? I mean from capturing the footage to final edit (not just the editing together of the footage). It must have taken ages to get footage from the Formidine Rift and then travel on over to the other side of the galaxy to get the other footage!
He has multiple commanders.
That makes sense. Esp since I hear it takes weeks to get across the galaxy in a top jump range ship.
Wonderful! Thank you very much!
Got this game because I watch you guys play space engineers, I like this game sorta like gta in space.Playing on PS4,maybe space engineer soon for console, I'm waiting.
At last I finally found something that I think is worth sharing. Silicate vapor geysers on a small moon in COL 359 Sector EH-A C15-14 on moon 1B location 44.4832 -135.3440 I'm excited to find something cool. I'm playing on a PS4. CMDR COWBOYBARNMAN
Multi crew is a good "time bandit" for exploration ...but we need more gameplay mech. in future !to enjoy it more us a combat gimik...as allways good job cmdr!
You didn't find any Moties out there did you?
Great vid as always. Also reminds me how donkey I am! :(
To me every planetary surface is extreamly dark these days. :( I was messing with the HUD colours and during the process I did something that "turned off" the ambient light on the dark side of the planets/moons. I dont know how to fix it =/
That's actually really interesting, ambient light is something a lot of people would really like to turn off. If you ever figure it out, do let us all know. :)
On my way back from the rim, and its amazingly like dark out there 44,449ly east of Sol.
Do u play on ps4 aswell
Nothing like our obsidian ant micro movies
Wait, so people have trouble driving by the SRV scanner thing. I find that really useful in low light when combined with the headlights. I probably spend as much time using the scanner as I do looking out of the window.
Could u share your hud color settings please?
At me in game all planets light, at all I do not understand, what for to me headlights are necessary. The galaxy also shines like a New Year's garland!
What's your colour scheme?
been playing this game for years(2015) now.
not my intention to be ungrateful for all this experience that FD enabled me to have, but would it now be the time for something new? i understand how big of a challenge it would be for them to re haul the game for the "space legs", but it's all the rocks and craters, and more rocks and craters(not to mention the rings(rock-dark, ice-white, and that's it.)), and so on .. small change in color is not so WOW for me after almost 3 years. Why not crack some planets open or even apart in some huge chunks and enable the player to fly through them and/or land on the debris, or put in some new spatial anomaly other than black holes, or enable the landing on those high metal content worlds with maybe some real lava or some other new obstacle other than a rock ... or a crater ... just saying. i've been up and down and left and right and back and forward and if in every one of 400 billion systems am i gonna see the planets i can't land on and the planets that i can but they all look the same-
(excluding those few with deep canyons, couple of thargoid bases, and some mist here and there)
-i don't know about others, but for me it's a bother to even try and "explore" anymore.
i'm waiting for the fourth update to really get back into elite. i already have about 2000 hours in it and i haven't played in over 6 months
what the music track at 5.00m min ? sounds alot like interstellar
I've put the track names in the video description. :)
ObsidianAnt Thank you ! Love your videos :)
So, I take it nobody's found Krikkit yet? Thank God! It's bad enough dealing with Thargoids.
How do you find all these fantastic places?
The Coalsack Nebula can be searched in the galaxy map.
Google image search for "Elite Dangerous Galaxy Map" and one of the first pictures to pop up will be a top down representation of the Milky Way with labels naming all of the major features and landmarks used by explorers. The Formidine Rift is to the South West of Sol; it is a sparse patch of few stars between spiral arms.
The last location is near the core (center) of the galaxy, but straight down until you can't jump to another star. Alternatively, you could go straight up for a similar view.
Nice Title Wipe
Just got back from the coal sack nebula earlier today
Can you start putting the planet name and sytem in the description thanks.
I'd love to start exploring so much but the game is keeping me from trying. I bought the game about 1/2 a year ago and mainly did trading/passengers. Just about a week ago i started fighting. But there is one thing about exploring: If i have to hear
*"Frame Shift Drive charging."*
*"Four..."*
*"three..."*
*"two..."*
*"one..."*
*"engage."*
for hours and hours on a loop i'd rather kill myself. The game needs an option to switch to a different ship, i am not willing to pay for everything again to have a second account just for exploring.
On the PS4 I have 2 accounts. As long as one account is the primary PS4 it's free psn. Don't have to pay for the game again. Unfortunately anything extra (skins) you bought on your other account doesn't transfer. But it's nice having an account for exploration and one for the Bubble.
I know this isn't the main point you were making but you can turn the ship's voice off for just about anything, including the frameshift activation and countdown. It should be somewhere under audio options. Exploring is so much more relaxing without it.
@Galactic Research Initiative
Sounds nice but i am on PC and unfortunately it works different here.
Lexor888 that sucks.
Yeahhh, I turned the ship voice down. Usually play while watching TV or TH-cam. Great way to unwind.
They planning to introduce ray tracing?
I really need to outfit my asp Explorer to do this type of stuff, but first, I need credits.
I’m trying to find the brightest places, c’mon obsidian I’m sick of dark places.
Watch 6:20 in the video
just fly to the core, it is really bright threre
One of the basecamps for DW1 was on a seriously bright place.
Yeah, in the core the sky is beige in all directions with insane numbers of stars.
There are those bright white glowing type V giants... is there one with a close moon? That could be a pretty blinding place to be (it's blinding enough just driving up in space).
6:40 thats just...wow
ED lacks depth... For example, landing on moon's is a dull experience, nothing you can do besides driving around. Maybe add something to make us explore, like caves, zapping rocks or mining to name the few ideas.
You already can zap some rocks to get elemental materials for engineering and synthesis. While you're in your SRV, look for signals on your radar that register in the lower third of the radar. These will be mine-able rocks. When you get within about 500 meters of them, they will pop up on your surface map as a target blip.
As for full scale mining, that can only be done in planetary rings and asteroid belts because even the smallest refineries would not fit in your Scarab. Caves would be cool, though.
I just fly about 7000ly away from a star.. Dark
Hi guys & gals, I'm obsidian ant
I want to find some volcanism i have yet to find any
Hello darkness my old friend
the dark side of the force
I'd love to see what your travel history (animated) looks like: edastro.com/vid/new
Everyone knows the darkest location in the galaxy is the interior of FDev’s abandoned office cause no one works there anymore.
Also everyone knows the dankest location in the universe is Braben’s smoked out brain cause he smokes too much weed and is too lazy to manage his goddamn game.
Where the Xbox crew at?
