If your ship can detect it then it will produce a noise to go with the image, otherwise you would have no spatial awareness.

@@krashd so the ship sees the electricity and times a fake thunder noise I'm order to make the pilot feel homely? Makes perfect sense

@@apollovaljean3076 Hey space madness is real lol, if you played Elite with no sound you'd go insane.

no one cares go touch grass

Free cam doesn't work when the timer hits zero and jump begins. It switches you back to the captain seat. I tried.

the lore notes that these ships use a much older, rougher drive technology

@@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?

They didn't punish you, you decided to leave the game without ensuring you had enough upkeep to keep the carrier afloat until you returned.

​@@krashdWhich is Toxic game design made to keep you engaged.

Check my other videos and you will find both departure and arrival animations from a nearby ship.

billions....

FD Had their chances... I'm starting to enjoy SC way more than ED even though SC has a metric tone of bugs and only one system.

ED will never be pay to win.

Adun Toridas brother!

How many of us left out here anyway mate 😁En Taro Artanis!

@@coverwatch CoMManDeRs??!?!?!!?

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.

Cobra MK3's shields are not as strong as Python's. General advice is to back off at least 2 km away from the asteroid before it blows but I actually like to stay close to this day still. 2 days ago I blew up an asteroid at a point blank range and I got %1 hull damage. Always remember to give full power to SYS before trying.

o7 commander! Glad to hear we have same tastes for giant spaceships 😂. Have fun and don't hesitate to say hi if you see us in the black!

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.

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.

I started past january, can t understand how can i live without this game. I m only a few part of grain of dust on this wonderful universe and i totally addicted to Discover something new everyday.

@@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. Is the vette a viable option or is it outclassed by something else.

@@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.

Majestic interdictor gets interdicted by hyperspace interceptor

I will say the VFX and game design as well!

Elite = Space ship noises: the game

Agreed. I always try to be in the concourse for all my carrier jumps

I have hundreds of hours in both of them and they both have their pros and cons. NMS' cartoonish graphics never satisfy my itch for realism though. And the abundance of life in the galaxy is really unrealistic in that one.

I mean I love NMS in terms of goofy ahh fun but this game is the best “smoke and chill” game for me. Grab me a blunt and I’ll go space truckin

She is posing for cameras rather than actual work nowadays, but you can definitely see her at Rackham's when the time comes 😁

The best SC race.

We are always here. En Taro Artanis CMDR!

I don't think the game is dead, it was never so popular in the first place. It is true that the Odyssey launch killed half the player base but some are returning after years, myself included.

@@coverwatch I think if a game doesn't get a (relevant) update in 5 years, and it's a game like elite, it's dead. Them announcing 4 ships now won't fix anything I feel.

@@rzu1474And funnily enough - right now it's getting the relevant updates the players have waited for for five years now

@@rzu1474 Ongoing thargoid war is actually getting updated pretty frequently nowadays, so there are things that are set in motion. Not relevant if you are just a casual player though of course.

No mining, we are usually trading :D. I was going some Ly away in this jump though for some exobiology stuff.

@@coverwatch that is so cool, I recently got odyssey, and I'm deeply lost on what to do lol, haven't even left the starter system after the first mission yet

Indeed, and the best part of a space sim being its sounds is pretty much ironic as you mentioned 😁

my jaw always drop when i hear a destroying jumping out of the warp during a conflict zone. it's so satisfying

God is it ever. I've been playing Star Citizen most recently, but I always miss all this. The radio chatter, all the boops and such, it's all so immersive. I even kinda miss the docking procedures...

o7 commander!

Yeah, instead of abrupt scenery switch now the carrier is engulfed in clouds which slowly clear.

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.

​@@coverwatchyou still play? I just started one week ago,i am looking for some friends to play with if someone is interested.

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.

@@1Shad0Wn Yep I still play. My in game CMDR name and steam name is the same one with here, add me and we can do activities.

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.
