![The Python MK2 - Worthy of the Name "Python"? [Elite Dangerous Ship Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/A-IT5MkJ_I4/mqdefault.jpg)
Ability to scrap/reimburse/recycle engineering would be a very positive step if FDev are willing and able...o7
Edited to reduce salt 😂
I enjoy engineering quite a bit, actually...
@@lausianne so do I. I'm not sure if I made my point clearly. I was supporting a discussion from the video, and it would be good to get some mats back if you change your mind or need to re engineer newer modules. o7
@@cmdrkla-2 the way you wrote your original message makes it seem like you'd be fine with getting rid of engineering :P
@@cmdrkla-2 Thanks, yes, that would be nice, of course! 🤩7
I'd definitely love to be able to get some materials back from all the engineered FSDs I'll be replacing for the overcharged ones.
Something to make engineering slightly less of a chore would be nice.
that's supposedly coming
@@PantherU I’d settle for a reduction in mat requirements especially for on foot Ody gear. It took 21 datamined wakes to get my P2’s FSD to G5 increased range.
They gotta get rid of the random +x% boosts that make you reroll. I think if they did that (and maybe made rep gains from engineering projects a bit higher to compensate from rolling less) that'd help out a ton. It'd make engineering cost less, and I think perhaps a slight reduction in cost of engineering on top of this would be nice too to help reduce the grind. I think a rework of some of the engineer unlock requirements would be good too. Focus on the ones everyone cheeses like e.g. Etienne Dorn's 50 escape pods, make them less obnoxious to get.
I bought the ship. I’m happy to pay some money if it means the game continues in development
Yup. I have spent hundreds on arx. Just wish there were more kits for the new ships.
They should up the weekly arx limit from 400 to 1000 imo
And the arx you buy with real money to...
No, bring back the old prices, much better...
There shouldn't even be an arx limit.
@@dom-ct6ie sorry, wrong spelling from my phone : arx, not armor, I corrected my message.
But then people wouldn’t be so impatient that they spend $ on arx
@@bbbenj ahh
Totally unrelated but each time I tune in to witchspace news, I always say "I'm Commander Burr" whenever it gets to that part 😅
Me too.
I think the price increase is entirely the wrong approach. What they NEED to do is add stuff that is actually worth buying. I am currently sitting on some 40.000 arx but there is nothing I'd consider worth buying. I have the paint jobs, weapon and engine colors I want. Most of the ship kits are bleh and the thargoid kits are not transformative enough.
They need to figure out things that are both cool and fun. Like space fireworks, alternative horn sounds, light decorations, etc. And just imagine the things they could sell you if you could decorate your ships interior, not just your cockpit with some lame bobbleheads.
I am coming back to the game having been away for just under a year fighting the Big C. Now i am in a better place i coming back to a better game by the look of It.
Congrats and welcome back, warrior.
Hello buddy. All power to you o7 ❤️
Awesome!
That was one of the most thought-out videos and really put some of the nuances and arguments at rest that we see within the community.
You've done a great job explaining community progression here.
Thank you, love your stuff.
It's why I love this channel. I'm also happy to see comments here aren't as jaded as other channels, too.
I am very happy with everything, very much looking forward to the future. ***One*** thing I wish they would do. Have my carrier recognize me as the owner. .
Can recommend edcopilot for that and a bunch of other stuff.
Yes , after spending billions of hard earned credits it would feel much better to hear , " Welcome home commander " .
That's my biggest complaint about the carrier. I don't truly feel like it's mine. experience is basically identical to a carrier I don't own. Npc characters on the carrier don't even interact with me. I'm invisible to them.
I've been saying this since carriers were first introduced, for all the good it's done. Typical Frontier sloppiness imho.
I think it was about a year ago when you made a video about a financial report by Frontier, which had me worried. The game made money and they expected it to keep making money for a few years, but looking at it, it also seemed like the sort of thing execs would say "keep the game running as long as it's profitable but wind down support and updates", essentially abandoning it. Glad to see they chose to keep updating the game instead and maybe realized that there is a lot that the game is great at compared to competitors. As for the monetization, I don't mind actually. The game has to make money if we want any attention on it, we can't have our cake (of minimal monetization) and eat it too (get updates to the game at this stage). And this is not too bad of a way to do it. I hope this new push is successful and this really is the start of a new era for the game.
Despite the previous failures and downfalls of frontier devs regarding Elite, I'll be buying the Python Mk2 and a bit more arx just to express my support and desire to have Elite Dangerous grow into the future and to give it yet another chance to give us, the players, the features we've always been dreaming of.
If i was to play elite again i wish they would implement :
More and more ships
More content
New things to explore
On planet mining
Better fps gameplay for odessy. Ai is horrible,feels like im playing star citizen.
And finally a good ol rebalancing while reducing the horrible grind. Hope the engineering rework they say they are implementing will fix the balancing issue.
Finally can we please get some sort of ship interiors. Doesnt need to be star citizen quality ones. Just let us walk into our ships before sitting on the damn chair.
I see good things for Elite and Frontier as long as they continue to invest in Elite and not try to push out more crap.
It's cheaper to buy the deluxe edition of Elite Dangerous + a Pre-Built ship, than it is to hop into Star Citizen. Long term players might forget the game isn't easy to just hop into and start, there's a lot of complexity to it. The Pre-Built options just offer an easier way for new players to get into the game, which is good for everyone. Frontier doesn't have the insane budget the triple AAA studios have.
Great video!
How does buyback work for pre built ships? Wouldn't want a new player with no knowledge of how to play jumping in with their mtx ship only to lose it and not be able to buy it back
@@lurakin88 - Buybacks for pre-built ships are free. If you swap out any of the pre-built module(s) for something else, your buyback cost is limited to *only* the non-pre-built module(s) you've added.
oh, they didn't forget, they're just yelling it's "unfair" towards them that have spent (idk like 3-4h?) time to get the same ship, probably years ago lmao. others say that cos you have paid the game once they shouldn't even sell cosmetics... people are just mad for nothing all the time
and despite not having the budget of a aaa studio they have made something that far surpasses most modern aaa studio space ship games.
@@blendpinexus1416 Appreciate all you guys, sometimes I get worried for the community but y'all restored my faith
The new opening screensaver is probably good. But the menu screen - a burning hangar - is already boring. It's time to put out the fire in the hangar.
Yes, recycling mechanics have been needed for a long time! And the ability to recycle improved suits and weapons.
Agreed. I'm currently in the Colonia region. We don't HAVE any burning stations out here. It's annoying to be forced to watch and listen to that, every time I'm on that screen!
Thanks for the News! For myself, I say that FDEV certainly did catch my attention, and they seem to have put much more thought into the first new ship they released, when compared to the slightly bulkified cardbord copies of the past that were Viper and Cobra 4. Still, they have a long reputation of false promises to make up for, before I am willing to pay anything more than attention to them, and the ARX store prince increases are not going to speed this up.
They could add Salvage missions.
While FDEV struggle to sell cosmetics SpaceBourne 2 developer Burak Dabak has released version 4.1.0 and 4.2.0 is in preview since 29 March. Check out the content features for the stable version 4.1.0 and remember it's one guy, possibly a bit more by now but not done encumbered by Braben.
I would pay all the money for ship interiors.
I would agree that many would.
If only the game could possibly support it without imploding.
Honestly I feel like that would just a be a waste of time in the current game. What would I be gaining for walking in out of my ship over and over? Time it takes to take off? I would like to see more purpose for being on the ground, like some level of deployable outposts kinda like No Man's Sky or Astroneer. This would give more purpose to being on the ground for those who are far from home, being able to setup and camp for scanning or mining or just repairs/replenish while away. IF THOSE THINGS were in the game then it would FEEL more sensible for me to be able to walk in out of a "Functionable" ship. But not ship interiors just for the sake of seeing the inside of my 1km (slight exaggerated distance) long Anaconda every time I want to take off.
It's already a chore enough to cross the landing pad to access the on foot mission board, why would you want to make it take even longer?
Take fleet carriers for example, the only thing that is potentially worth your time disembarking on one is to trade at the bar, as pre upgraded gear cannot spawn there
What in the black are you gonna do inside your ship?
@@Sylusssss or they can implement both options black scree load or free movement. Not hard, that way both parties gain.
Id love to be able to get mats in a WAY easier way... and quadruple the amount mined via SRV.
Great work team Buur. Crammed a lot with a comprehensive summary as always.
As ever, my go-to place for update catch-ups. O7

Haven't played for years.. that learning curve would hit me hard again.
But I'll give it a go
I'm commander Darth Sidious
Alpha Backer..
Cheers
By the time ED gets ship interiors I'll be able to play it on a holodeck. I don't mind buying ships... I do it often for a lot more money with Star Citizen. I do however expect a higher quality of ship and interiors if I'm going to do so. Its too bad also, because ED is/was a lot of fun, especially in VR. Very deep map screen and trading system also. The biggest problem for me is no ship interiors and I really don't have much to do anymore after acquiring all the ships, most engineered after all these years. Without more immersion like exiting and entering full ships that are a little more detailed I can't see me returning.
Agreed, I'm in the same position, 7 k hrs on my end
The pyton MK II was the opportunity to bring ship interiors.
For me only, it's not about being able to walk around a ship. Walking from and to a ship because I can't teleport or wake up in a bed on a ship, is just a walking simulator precursor to the content I'm looking for in Elite Dangerous. I don't mind it in Star Citizen because it's a different game with a different premise.
What I want from Elite is to experience a story. A personal story. I played the original and loved it despite my youth, I played Frontier: Elite 2 and I loved that because I remember the bulletin board and the mission givers and the moon mining and the combat without joysticks it was just great story telling. If there was a grind I didn't recognise it.
The best grind is one you don't recognise because you're experiencing a story that has drawn you in and is rewarding you, advancing your abilities, knowledge & understanding of the lore surrounding you.
A buyout with £100M reserve would see Elite back to its roots but with 21st Century story delivery. It doesn't need to be multiplayer or even co-op. Private hostable servers would be fine for those that want to partake in that kind of story.
What all the space ship flying games are lacking is the hook of encouragement to start up the launcher - at least for me personally. I play with dual hotas and pedals. It's great. Not as convenient as someone who can play with a mouse and keyboard of course or those with a console controller - I've tried and I can't at the end we all get the same game and currently it's just not worth it.
It's trying to be different things to different types of players and isn't as great as it should be if it could decide on one shameless identity.
I do like the scrapping unused engineered modules for materials return idea.
Havent had time to play 18.04 but curious about the Mk2 Python. If i buy early access is it a single ship and I buy a second from the in game shipyard or is it just unlocking it so I can buy as many as my heart desires in the shipyard?
Greetings from Spain, commander. Of all the channels I follow for Elite Dangerous information, yours stands out as the best by far. Here's one more follower for you, thanks for your videos. I hope to keep watching them for a long time.
Hello Spain!
Thank you ☺️ o7
They didn't just increase the Arx cost per item, they devalued the Arx we already had in our wallets. Cosmetics in game should be cheaper, not more expensive. If Fdev had any sense, they'd realize this is about volume and mass sales. They need to incentivize buy ins, not make them even less tempting. Personally I'm resolved to not play Elite again until the Python Mk II becomes available for credits in game. Tread carefully, Fdev.
Pretty amazing how much more quality development has taken place since FD cut staff...
I love this game but FDEV dry it out. Nothing new for years. I HOPE they really want to make ED great again. I will play and i already have over 1.000 hours into the game. I really hope they finally realize, that ED have extreme high potential.
Don't even bother buying any ARX. I literally just try to buy some just to get some stuff. They charged my card but never issued me the ARX stating there was an error.
Pending reply from support but don't give a dime to them. If you are going to fix up your store, at least make sure you can actually do a transaction properly.
I'm more hopeful for Elite's future than I have been for years! Even seemingly simple things like the SCO drive are already showing the immense possibility for new gameplay vectors, and while I was concerned about pay2win creeping in, I think they've handled it as well as anyone possibly could; nothing that can be bought outclasses what a veteran can acheive in a fully engineered Adder. The future of the bubble is looking bright right now.
There has always been this possibility but it has taken far too long with far too little content of substance. Elite was about stories that players could indulge in. Currently there are too many NPC corps with forgettable characters and just a grind for the sake of grind while it could be so much more fulfilling.
Yes. With Sco FSD I have learned to do noob-loops again! Thanks Fdevs!
and that veteran could easily use nuances to just play with a pay2win type player. i won't be that skilled but god it's fun.
Now all that is needed is either worlds or moons with flora and fauna, and atmospheres and clouds, ala either Star Citizen or No Man's Sky and Elite would be back to being something special.
I bought the new python and have no regrets! Also, the engineering scrapping idea sounds fantastic, even if you get maybe half of the mats back.
they have adopted the Star Citizen model, shame the ship it not explorable on foot and has a working interior like in Star citizen.
Python Mk2 needs one more 5 size to be really useful
First new ship in 6 years and they copy paste interior of python mk1 sad.
I wasn’t gonna buy it but I think I’m changing my mind 🏴☠️
They could just add the SCO ability to every FSD drive, but then we wouldn't have to drive more...
Also the game has now many obsolete modules, why?
Same reason there are many engineering options that no one would ever consider using for practical purposes.
Thanks for the call-out.
Lots of Paint jobs have been removed as well!!!!
Are custom, unique paintjobs a thing? Ship kits? Selling advertisements on those giant holographic billboards? More better merchandise? Ammo refills for $ 100😧? New Expansion? If someone wanted to throw more money at Frontier, there isn't a whole lot of options, other than cosmetics and extra accounts.
Who wants free ARX ?? :)
I'm gonna invest like 20k € (just because it's pay to win)
you can't win without ARX these days, even paintjobs gives you free +9000 hull strength and shield strength, ship-kits gives you infinite fuel tank, BUT ONLY if you buying from paid ARX.
13:50 "As yet unannounced new feature"... wasn't this related to the ships? Wouldn't this be SCO? If they're dropping something even bigger and more meaningful that'd be fantastic!
What about the other ships they said were comin? I want a new exploration ship
Three more new ships by the end of the year, they've said. Since we're already close to halfway through the year, they're not far off.
I like the sound of the SCO and Python changes, I think Frontier over did it with the Arx but Im not going to lose sleep over it lots of other games do it too. However Odyssey on foot content remains completely blocked off to me as a VR user and exploration gameplay whilst ok for new players remains shallow low low for experienced players. Scrapping is a good idea there is no good reason not to have it is my view.
Without RPG elements ED will always be en empty game. You can add some new ships but for solo play that change nothing. I had more than 1500h of game play in ED 2018-2020. In 2024 nothing new in ED, except some cosmetic changes...so I replaced ED with X4 Foundations. For solo play X4 is much better game.
sad fools who spend money on "early access" are the reasons the gaming industry is so riddled with garbage and BS that the only way to find a good game is to look for the games that don't do this kind of thing, since Elite and FDev are now doing it, the game is no longer a good game. sorry, it's simple in my view. Either give it to everyone on the same day or give it to no one because I'm not handing over more cash for a game that I already bought unless you give me a sizable content pack that includes more than a single ship that I'm already getting by waiting... this just makes me want to completely uninstall Elite and every little additional tool I've kept around just in case I ever wanted to play again.
Welcome everyone to the "microtransaction live service hell" era of Elite. Enjoy your stay and have fun losing all your money to early access and pay to win faster.
I don't mind paying money for more content, but I'm not happy with early access paid content. I'd be more liable to pay for DLC-styled packaged of new vehicles (combat SRVs, SRVs with various loadouts or purposes, jetbikes...), new content (basebuilding, new systems with quests and a storyline), ship interiors... but early access is a no-no for me.
Powerplay 2.0, the new unannoucned feature for later in 2024 and the SCO drive might bring me back to Elite later this year :)
I'd like to see a redesign for the Federation middle ships... They're bulky and awkward, and the FAS has awful weapon convergence... Other than that, it's a great game. I do kinda wish we could destroy space stations though. That would make a PvP element like no other.
I would very much like to see the ability to scrap or recycle engineered modules; but I'd love to see an auction house for materials and engineered modules too; but it's PowerPlay restricted & make/model restricted. Grades 1, 2, & 3 are restricted to make, Grades 4 & 5 and Experimental are Make & Model restricted So I can get 6A Thrusters with Dirty Drive at Grade Three from a Dropship and put them on a Gunship; but when they go to Grade 4, they can only be used on the Dropship. Also, the auction houses for Imperial, Alliance & Federal Space are all different, in order to access all 3, it has to be on a Fleet Carrier or Jameson Memorial. I think that would keep things usable and make sense in-game.
Arc store: Nope. Skins:Nope. Pay to play: Nope. Just like in life for me expensive equals a big nope. I'll do without the greed. Thank you!
Hard luck on some of us that paid money to buy ARX only to have their buying power slashed by over 50% overnight. Disgusting ARX price increases.
I've bought Stellar Edition but I'm on expedition and don't have time or need to fly it.
I didn't realize until now that I started using it more, but SCO is a way bigger gamechanger than I thought at first. Trading, exploring, bounty hunting (hunting down pirates for contracts for example is a lot more combat and a lot less cruising to signals) or fighting in combat zones are all much more convenient now. Even for smaller distances, giving a boost at the start feels great. It's not just faster and a lot less tedious to move around in system, but also more engaging. And also, seeing that a station or objective is 50k Ls away, doesn't produce the same groan it used to. It's not a huge change, but SCO had a very positive impact on everything I do in game. You hit the nail on the head here. I hope your conclusions about the future are just as correct.
I have bought the Red Python MK2 and fully engeneert it. Hmmm i am disapointed about it. IT flys as a anaconda and has too less Power for serious shields. IT will rest His life in my Hangar. FAS is far more better.
Essay incoming:
The ship is for people wanting to get their hands on it first for channel content, and for long term players who either have nothing better to spend aging Arx on or feel like they should support the game with more money on a product they already own with some weird Münchausen syndrome thing going on. Fdev has failed to deliver on past promises, demonstrated poor leadership in a myriad of ways, consistently do not listen to the community, and have been laying off talent right and left all because of shareholders.
Elite still exists because the players have been keeping it interesting to play, or even possible, via 3rd party sites, forums, and apps (most of which should be in the base game). That’s a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. How does Fdev shows their appreciation? By raising prices and charging real-world cash for a new ship, which can’t be purchased otherwise and which should have been out years ago.
Continuing to throw money at them in the hopes that they’ll do something different this time is the wrong move, as time will surely demonstrate. But since enough people are buying this ship now, leadership will believe this is the right move and they’ll double down on this mentality going forward. It’s formulaic, and there’s no going back from here. It’s them opening Pandora’s box and players are now paying for them to remove the ray of hope, too. It’s a company, stop treating them like they’re your friend, they’re not.
Starfield being such a dud and Helldivers being so big is a HUGE opportunity to implement some likeness to what works and updates to the gameplay loop.
Yes, I bought more than enough ARX (funding FDev in their future endeavors) and got the Python Mk2, named it Red Snake.
As a long time player, I've already got 40 ships. one of each of the 37, plus an extra one of the big three. Why would I care about this? I don't
While I don't like artificially holding back content that's ready to release to make some cash from it, I don't really care about the rest. I've been charged two times after purchasing the main game back then in about 10 years of constant updates. We got a _lot_ for free and I think many people just forget that or are more comfortable with complaining.
At the moment I think, someone told Frontier to monetise their only live-service game more effectively, and I also think it's either that or Elite going into stasis.
So yeah, I rather take store price increases and gameplay stuff for sale over Elite being forgotten.
I'm starting to come back often into the game, but for how long ?
I'm starting to play with the power play too, "doing my part" for the faction that I support.
Also, gaining reputation to buy later my corvette.
WoW i haven't been keeping up with ED, so i had no idea you could spend real cash on ships now...i may just stop my redownload of the game lol. I guess they looked at Star Citizen and said hey we can do it too, but forgot to steal some of the things that players really want lol.
Well, now I can buy a ship for real money, but still have to rent a mothership. If FDEV want more money from experienced players, why not to trade tritium or some like it?
I got myself an SCO FSD for my 'vette last night, I got at least a whole light year's extra range over the Sirius FSD I engineered years ago, it may not sound like much, but when the jump range on your tank is abysmal to start with, you take all you can get, plus the ability to make supercruise trips way shorter is a massive plus, the cons don't really matter, those are easily mitigated.
The costs are pathetic. I won't be wasting any money or grind to get them. As if 😆 Cosmetics! Insulting. And the ship 🙄 In a game like this with how many before it 😂 ED is fading away into a black hole
So the important question is... did the Python MK2 come with new unique engine sounds or is it the same as ye ol Python? I am a huge fan of Elite's audio in general and curious of how they handled the new ships...
I just want the ability to explore with my girl, and split the discovery earnings with her, as well as giving her something to do besides just looking out of the window.
Maybe it will be good time to get back to Elite soon, but for now there is still helldivers 2 and upcoming Homeworld 3.
I'm waiting for them to make Engineering more assessable before I get back into the game.
I honestly had more fun getting engineering and guardian gear going than anything else in the game. It was one of the only times the game had an actual long-term goal with a finish line (and probably the only definite gameplay goal involving exploring), and varied gameplay mechanics required, not just combat which is my least favorite part of the game.
@@agentmith I don't have a problem with the grind of getting mats, I have a problem with being bored out of my mind while doing it. might be cool the first couple of times you get a gaurdian blueprint for instance, but by the 5th or 6th time its about as fun as watching paint peel. And the guardian stuff is some of the easier ones to get. I don't mind filler if the filler is enjoyable and not the same rinse and repeat completely uni-mmersive system we've got now.
SCO drives are interesting. I think its a mistake to have them superior in every way to the old drives though. Making a module that is so prevalent obsolete overnight seems like a ham fisted decision. I think there should be pros and cons so people think and deliberate over their options.
The sco drive has better stats than a double engineered on tons stats but jump but still jump less far
I am going to buy the new python, yes a scrap method for engineering would be welcomed, but then again not. Fantastic time we live in now wit ED
The price increases are so trivial, in this day in age elite dangerious is still the most least cost game I play, if the game continues if we keep getting more content I'm happy for price increases.
@TheBuurPit what are your thought on Lifetime Expansion Pass owners? Should they be getting the purchasable ships given to them? I feel LEP owners have been completely forgotten about.
No (and I'm one of them).
As far as I'm concerned the LEP refers to paid for expansions to the game. So Horizons, Odyssey thus far and definitely not items that are available on the Arx store. Totally different thing imho. O7
this game died with me when any progression on story was locked behind updates and not actual exploration or something a commander or group of commanders does.
Nearly saved up enough Arx for......nothing now.
SCO is so fucking fun, I can't stop yeeting myself around systems
i just logged into the game from like a year ago and i was wondering why theres none of the big content creators already explaining this and tbh im still a little confused
as a deep space explorer i did not buy my self in to the new phython mkII, il just buy it when i get back to the bubble
I'd like to see arx rented warehouses in stations, so commanders can store their commodities rather than being dependant on the size of their cargo holds.
Monetization of short-term vs. long-term players is a fair point, tbh.
I can get onboard with a scrapping mechanic, as long as it’s only available at an applicable engineer.
This game just required a live economy. Let players sell and buy stuff (including ships) from each other. Would also be nice to increase the insurance fee, 5% is ridiculous. Commanders have tons of credits, and basically nowhere to spend it.
Speak for yourself.
please add scrapping frontier. it makes very little sense not to be able to recycle materials
ganker are not happy about the new sco :D
How are you being ganked when you can NOT play in open?
@@sidrat2009 i play in open
I know I'm going to get a ton of hate for this, but i think the tedious nature of ship engineering is much better than the on foot engineering. I kinda don't like the on foot engineering
Tho I do wish I could buy and sell pre-engineered modules, obviously with corresponding prices. What would be nice would be the ability to sell engineering equipment on fleet carriers, but at my chosen cost; this way I can help my friends catch up or skip some of the painful engineering without them needing a down payment more than their ships, followed by weekly payments that cost more than fleet carrier upkeep.
Much like we can sell any commodity at any price we choose... id be cool to do the same for ship modules
I don't think you'll get a ton of hate :)
There's an awful lot wrong with on foot engineering... An awful lot.
Overall I think I prefer the ship engineering tbh. For me, with both systems, it's the availability of materials that holds it back. But that's not the whole picture obviously... I'd definitely start there however :) o7
if only they had cross progression, i transfered my Xbox account that had my Corvette and all engineers, now i have no rep, no permits, just 800 million in the bank and absolutly no will to grind it all out again, pretty sad ngl. its definitely killed the game for me a bit
If it had a 40 hour single player story where you could progress through hull and game mechanic options would you return to try it out?
Developer here. Sounds like migration failed. Could you drop CS a ticket and refer number / commander name here? I will try to dig it up and resolve it.
@@sidrat2009 it wouldnt give me back the few thousand hours of xbox so no sadly
@Pecisk hey there sorry I tried to reach out yesterday but TH-cam keeps deleting my comment for spam apparently
@@Pecisk let me know if there's any developments! I appreciate you looking into it
I fully quit Elite and regret putting time into a P2W game.
I vote with my wallet, i don’t pay for P2W titles. Period.
I have bought elite in various platforms and have spent maybe hundreds in cosmetics. The money is not the issue it’s the no P2W support principle.
Elite is dead to me, i now hope it fails.
Buh bye
@@b1bmsgt Enjoy only being able to buy rare mats to engineer, credit/xp boosters, and ships and weapons all with real cash.
That’s where they all go.
Some of the flying in this video was truly concerning
Im coming back to this game for the first time since 2016, what id like to see (from the perspective of a noob) is some more guidance in the game of where to go and what to be doing. Its very difficult to learn without asking other players right now.
When it comes to engineering etc. at the very least check back later for today's video.
yes add the scrapping and recycling method of engineered parts
My python mkII is already engineered for AX combat. Earned a half billion this morn.
Just how? I really don't understand how you can earn that much! I don't play much but I can never seem to earn much!
Five and a half years is way too long a wait for a new ship in a game based on said ships.
Nice!
the banding is horrible still on the new splashscreen
Bought the Python Mk2 and fell in love with it. From the sound to the sleekness to the hardpoints its a beast of a ship. That "Inhale" just before the roar of the boost as it slices through the asteroid field of the titans, baring its 4x large AX weapons upon the titans heart
Well done. Yes to everything team Burr said. I've long been a voice calling for engineering refunds when scrapping/selling mods (I'd sell half of my 200 stored modules if I could do that). As for everything else, change is always going to be divisive. Lets all take a minute, have a cup of tea, and not resort to game self-sabotaging review bombing.
You had me at "tea".
The P2 is fun! Mine's barely engineered but I see a lot of potential. If the next few ships are of this quality, I'll happily throw a few bucks at FDev for early access.
I'm not, however, super happy with the move to make Sirius FSDs completely obsolete overnight. I said before that the SCO drives should either come in A rating OR be engineerable, not both. Now that they're both, there's zero reason to ever use a normal FSD. They're just clutter in the outfitting menu now, right with E rated hull refs and C rated internals.
They are not obsolete. I don't understand why some people obsess over replacing every single drive they have overnight. I see no reason to- not all my ships need to travel very far and some rarely leave their hangars so I'm not going to spend a ridiculous amount of time and effort engineering 16 new drives. Maybe one or two ships will get it first, then others may get upgraded later. Some I won't need to. Nobody says it's necessary to "grind out the materials to engineer every ship again" as some seem to think.
@@Interdimensional27 Right, on existing ships sure. I don't plan to replace all 45 of my ships' drives either. But when building a new ship, why would you pick the non-SCO drive?
I am very on the fence regards buying ships for ARX. Having said that, the Python MKII is a fantastic ship and well worth the money in my opinion. If this is the future of ARX purchases then I am on board. I have zero interest in the pre built ships at the moment. I also hope they do something with earning ARX, especially the 400 limit for those who have zero interest in the Titans.
i would pay a full price game as dlc for interiors
