I love how Elite functions, especially with FA on or off. If you wanna play casual and not worry about true one to one piloting, FA on. If you want total control, at the cost of having to actually pilot properly, FA off. It's the perfect balance, and I love it, even if I am a FA scrub.

[@derain95]

I want an in between mode for FA, so FA off for ship movement but FA on for were Im aiming. On mouse it's ez but having to manually compensate for every movement makes FA off with joystick a bit needlessly hard, a lot of arm movement per shot.

@@derain95 I have a button on my throttle under my ring finger to switch it on and off. 90% of the time I fly with FA on but there are a lot of manouvers that I prefer FA off, especially while docking/flying a 180, and to my knowledge FA off is really the best and only way to spin around and shoot behind you without losing soeed

[@knavenformed9436]

I'd like to have FA for FSD useage, but off for landing. I wouldn't mind having a "malfunction" or a "hacking" mechanic where a FA gets disabled once in a while, making your role as a commander tested, but still FSD flyign gets old really fast that I would rather use the mintues on something useful. Granted I could take the assist off before landing, but a constant option to work it in different ways would be cool.

It is great to see positive content about Elite that is also 'real talk' and doesn't ignore the various flaws. Your jokes are succinct and spot-on, the shots and scenes are beautiful, and the dialog is cerebral yet conversational. You're killing it, man. Keep it up!

I personally think Elite is the BEST game for VR, period. Most other games use VR as a gimmick or do what they can with the current level of tech, but when you play Elite in VR, it's like they designed the oculus specifically for this game, it just feels perfect... minus one big flaw... I can't see the keyboard.... yeah, I play Elite in VR using mouse and keyboard... sue me. There's a tiny little crack along the nose which I peek out of which helps, but a HOTAS might be too dangerous with VR and risk complete immersion transference into the game (ie. complete loss of reality). The other thing in Elite which I love/hate but is really cool is how the game gives you the ability to massively fuck up.... like allowing you to buy a shield that will shut your engine's power off once you open your weapons to fight... or you can run out of fuel... or forget to buy limpets.... or take on a mission that's way too big for you to handle.... the game is amazing for not hand holding. It can be a downfall, in that you usually pay for mistakes with the currency of time - so often it can be a frustration, taking 15 minutes just to fly back to a station to re-spec because you had no way to test your build and realize that when you shoot your lasers, your heat goes crazy, so you really didn't need to worry about weapon-spec'd pps... but i like the idea that you can still do all those dumb things.

[@PaulaJBean]

I cut away the foam around my nose, and that makes it much easier to peek onto the keyboard. I don't experience any loss of immersion (but also, the room in which I play is quite dimly lit).

So I just started playing like five days ago and gotten really into the game. My favorite part is definitely the immersive ness of the ship UI being a physical thing in the game world that makes sense existing, and also the art style and visuals are very nice. Controls were daunting at first but after figuring out keybindings (which I didn’t think were good personally) it felt really satisfying having figured it out. The realistic scale universe that’s based off the real milk way is also really amazing.

[@cyberiusrex2343]

I 100% agree, it's amazing how they figured out a way to implement a dynamic UI that is both functional AND an in-game element. That said, as a new player, it kind of bummed me out that the interface is the same for every ship, it kinda takes away from the interior by making every ship feel kind of same-y unless you start looking around the cockpit and oh hey, I'm in a Gutemaya or a DeLacy or what have you. and I know this is better for consistency as you are constantly interacting with the UI, often times even mid-combat, and being able to know were everything by having it standardized is huge in those circumstances, and I admire the fact that they actually thougt about that and decided to use the same UI framework for every ship (either that or it's a cost cutting measure so they don't have to pump more resources into their art department to design new UI for every ship lmao). That said, I'm loving the game so far.

[@Mennenth]

Elite Dangerous is still an "on again, off again" relationship for me. I love its flight mechanics (minus yaw rates being nerfed to hell), graphics, audio, everything. I love playing in VR too, though I dont have a hotas (I use a steam controller for most games). Its a pretty awesome experience! But... theres nothing to do other than grind credits so you can get a better ship to grind credits better to... I wish it had a story that took, idk... maybe 20-30 hours to complete? Just, something to actually do so that I could fall in love with the game hard enough to get invested in the grind for a better ship. It seemed like they were doing something with the thargoids... I've still yet to encounter one owing to my on again off again shtick... guardian stuff, and the other thing I cant remember off the top of my head (raxla?). But, they just havent committed/leaned into that stuff hard enough, and from watching obsidian ant it seems they've even removed the meager sources of story that were there (galnet/community goals)? That makes it even less appealing to someone like me. Everything is just there with no real purpose. Its all a bunch of set pieces with no performers putting on a show to breathe life into it. The story bit is why I'm currently engrossed in another game, but hey no comparisons right? Edit: The pvp/griefing issue also keeps me away from multiplayer in ED, where I have done multiplayer in that other game (its NMS alright?). The gankers often justify it by saying "its elite DANGEROUS, its supposed to be DANGEROUS, git gud scrub"... alright, I actually agree. But its kinda contradictory isnt it? Ganking means that by definition, the ganker is in WAY less danger than the gankee. Cant have it both ways, but fdev doesnt want to do anything to fix that double standard so... (my half measure solution would be to do what other mmo style games do; pvp related deaths wouldnt incur a rebuy, and would have some sort of "black box" mechanic so exploration data also wouldnt get lost, but the "black box" only records/saves stuff on taking player damage. Gankers could have their "fun", gankees wouldnt lose anything/would only suffer a minor inconvenience at worst)

Visuals are very nice and detailed as well, ships and commanders look fantastic. And how they managed fit all these controls on the PS4 controller is crazy.

[@evilhusky51]

For me elite has been that game that has some mode of play that appeals to most people. The problem is getting people to try it since it is somewhat of a hidden gem, and then to get them around the learning curve of actually piloting. Back when I started, tutorials were learned on KZbin, not in game. And both super cruise and docking were done manually and seemed to be the biggest learning curve to get started. Still every single person I got to try it and guided successfully past this play to this day. And nowadays you have super cruise assist and advanced docking computers that aren't complete garbage for the small beginner ships, that can easily be taken off once players get the confidence to go manual that makes this process so much easier

Elite's UI is hands down the best out there, that's not even debatable. Like it is sooooooooo easy to navigate Elite's UI that you can do it on M&KB with a VR headset on and one handed.

[@oneofdavidsmightymen]

I have played elite and nothing else for over 5 years and whilst it gets a bit samey at times I just go off do something else in game and return. Thanks for the vid it made me realise just why nothing compares

[@seizeimmunity4113]

Has anyone heard anything about the aptmosphereic planet landing yet?

[@killerkram1337]

Elite sound design is God tier. I would not say the default controls are good, but it didn't take long to make them good so thankfully its easy to figure out how to modify all that.

[@DarTunwarm]

Hilarious video once again..loved it ‘Immmmmmmmeeeeerrrrrrsssiiiiiooooooooooooon!’

On steam for 11.99 for delux addition not sure to buy or not I play alot star citezen would you recommend it

[@stankossovskiy816]

There is nothing wrong with the spoiler on a spaceship. It is like a chandelier in the car

[@barakoas]

The sound design in this game is the best i ever heared in any game over 30 years! and the ship UI is awesome too... but thats it imo...

[@KenOtwell]

I played this on a GTX 980 with no problem whatsoever, in VR even! And that rig wouldn't even play roller coaster without freezing up.

[@Erenzilable]

5:35 it's just enough realism to be interesting and make you feel cool when handling the ship without getting tedious (as tedious as true simulators get).

[@ScubaSteve117Gaming1]

so wtf is with the vampire Pegasus horse in the beginning that was like a subliminal image lmao.

[@PaulaJBean]

When using VR, use the Elite launcher to start the game. If you start it from within Steam, it will shove all kinds of software between you and the game, decreasing framerate.

At 9:12 what planet/ system is this? I need to take my fighters here lol

*#8* completely true. I’m running it on a trash laptop with an A12 & Radeon R7 on _mostly_ high settings with very little lag, and a quite persistent frame rate.

[@jasongibson1225]

ED has many flaws, but for everything it may miss it still delivers a one of a kind unique experience of exploring the entire Milky Way with a believable universe. It's not a game for everyone, but it doesn't have to be. The only reason why we get mad at the end of the day with Frontier and their constant back peddling is because we also believe in it and what it could become. We know that despite it's amazing ability to accomplish its basic goal, there is still so much that could be done.

[@cmdraljaz77]

I have 1650 and 4. Gen 15 and I have everything o. Ultra and it works 60 fps and it's still on 70 procent usage

[@CultOfAlan]

#1 on my list is the potential that this game *still* has even now. FDev have made many, many errors but Elite is a beautiful game to look at, the feel of the ships is perfect, the audio superb and the few moments where Elite delivers a special moment? It kind of nails it. When the Thargoids were first introduced? Amazing The start ports under attack? Genuinely felt like there was a sense of urgency to them. When Elite gets it right it gets it right. It's just shame that when things go wrong... they go very, very badly wrong.

[@DawnTreaderPlays]

At the 4:33ish mark you mention that the UI needs updating... my biggest complaint is about how many clicks or button presses something needs to get done. The UI needs an overhaul to minimise the amount of clicking that is needed to do something simple such as buy propaganda materials from your power broker. Or to move modules from storage to the ship or the ship to storage, or station to station. Hope the new era sorts out some of those things...

[@nicoalvarezp2]

I'm new to the game and I don't get it, with what game(s) aren't we comparing Elite?? Honestly don't know ...

[@Fresh_Baklava]

Do you think the areas/sectors/regions we cannot jump to are even actually there? What I mean by that ...could the starts in said areas just be place holders..or just added into the map to fill the gap in the star field? Maybe we can’t jump there because there’s nothing to jump to. If that makes any sense....🖖🏼👽

[@samuelburrell5863]

Elite dangerous is good because if the size of the game and how smooth it runs and the different places to go. However, other games such as star citizen, though not as stable, allow you to explore planets with atmospheres and all planets have different characteristics such as different weather events. On top of that you can walk around and explore many different locations and utilise every part of your ship

[@zwade612]

When did yamicks get 1440p res? Nice

[@TheYamiks]

it's upscaled 1080p . reason for that is that 1440p gives better bandwith from youtube & clearer picture

3:30 casual coding so tru

[@metasynaptic9451]

So. What if it wasn't a 'spoiler', but was instead an antenna?

[@LordRenegrade]

Well, don't forget that E:D's predecessors (Frontier and Frontier II) also had a full-scale galaxy.. on like a single floppy disk, in one megabyte of RAM. It's pretty much just an exercise in understanding how rand() works....
