CORRECTION: Apologies, no clue how I got this so wrong, but you need to reach the rank of Petty Officer with the Federation to unlock the Sol permit. Really sorry I got that wrong, thanks to a few of you for pointing it out!! I hope everyone enjoys this bit of fun - it was pretty tough coming up with now 100 facts about Elite. What were the ones you didn't know? What other facts do you think it would be fun to share in a Part 3 down the line?

[@Xzen808]

Disable the dump all cargo button. Damn it. That's a good one!

[@Xzen808]

Fact people might not know and I am unsure you covered them: Shortcut keys for FPS, latency, and working the camera to get those nice shots of your ship.

[@onceuponadime978]

didn't know the one about heat dissipation of power plant and fuel scooping. I knew there was a certain point I could get to that netted the most fuel without overheat but I just always found it using the scooping numbers never really considered what determined it beyond the scoop.

[@onceuponadime978]

@Kure Core I bound a key for having my fighter attack on one of my extra xbox hotas buttons. very handy if u use fighters much. way better than going down into that menu each time u want to change the sub sys they're targeting or tell them to attack a ship

To be honest, I'd rather them skip ship interiors than do a half-assed job with them that causes more issues. If it where easy for them then I'd have no doubt they'd do it since they could sell customizations on the frontier store so my guess would be there's a technological challenge behind how the game's programmed that's the real obstacle (ground combat in the early days of STO comes to mind). That being said, I really hope they do figure it out since I really do want to explore around inside something like the type9.

When approaching a station or signal source in super cruise at 7 seconds, you can go full throttle once your speed is in the blue zone (on the speed/distance hud) and you will not overshoot it.

[@Neo-vz8nh]

@@zharsumatera3502 when the speed is in the blue, that means you can safety jump out SC, so no need to slow down further. With SC assist you can do this with high speeds, which otherwise cause an emergeny stop.

I came back to raise the $ for a carrier (never stockpiled any cash never got any more than I just needed) but the way mining is now I'm having a harder time making money and it's a long way from 100 mil to 5 bil. lol pretty discouraging. I mean i get it's like end game material or whatever but that's a serious gap between it and anything else. basically if u weren't one of the folks who already had a hundred bil put back it's gonna be super hard to get and maintain one far as I can see and that's pretty discouraging. plus if u stop playing for a while the expenses will drain ur bank account and ull be left with no carrier or money . highly discouraging I'd say. it seems an insurmountable obstacle considering how slow money making is. they really didn't need to nerf mining as much as they did. maybe some but what it really could have used was a buff to trade and combat revenues. that would have made the game much more interesting. trading is almost laughable credits wise and the only way to make decent money in combat is with wing pirate kill missions and u make less than 12% what u would have mining in the same amount of time. really a shame cause mining is boring as shit. combat should pay better.

[@nebohtes]

My system works pretty good for ship interiors with some minor fudging; I'm extremely disappointed we might not get them, since (aside from the Dolphin, Krait and Type 7) it really seems like FDEV actually had planned for them. Well, maybe I'll make more videos planning out interiors and developing a system for it, afterall.

[@mattsmechanicalssi5833]

I have Supercruise and Hypercruise bound separately, but there is also a Supercruise/Hypercruise bind that I use for dropping in to a target destination. If you target a destination inside a system (station, planet, etc) before jumping there, you can use "Next Target" to cycle through the ships in the system, and get possible scans. When you get close to your destination (which remains highlighted in the HUD), just hit the "Next Jump Destination" and the station will be displayed in the target window and hologram. Very handy for keeping an eye on possible pirates, and for collecting data.

[@meadowlarkinmontana0406]

Gotta add the salt at the end for seasoning. Awesome job on the video, I actually learned quite a few things.

[@HiSodiumContent]

I just started playing before carriers came out, already logged over 300 hours (the grind) and Elite is a great game. The one thing I don't get though is that even as a new player, space legs in ship seemed to be something everyone wanted (that and buffs to payouts from things that aren't mining) and it blows my mind that FDev could have missed the mark so badly on this that they're committed to giving planet walking before ships, if walking in ships gets implemented. I would have figured, based on things I read and heard just looking into various things in game, that the priorities of a walking mode should have been ship interiors then stations then social hubs and then planets. It seems they're working backwards, I guess?

[@R.D.R.NIGHTINGALE]

I hope the Developer overhauls some of the quality of life and ship interiors at some point. Expanding the game is great but at some point we have to revisit whats already in the game a bring it up to snuff. Minor changes that would be easy to do and great to have, auto scanning targets that are within scanner arc, relaoding ballistic weapons by cycling fire groups or retracting and extending hard points, setting auto dock in conjuction with supercruise assist ( so I can use bathroom) , reminders before leaving station to set crew memebers and buy limpets If the ship has those functions, an overhaul to the galaxy map to behave more lile third party systems (which are more user friendly) I could go on for days. Im playing this game pretty much exclusively at this time and some of these chamges would be welcome. And overhauling engineering ( again ) would be nice.

[@Exigeous]

Oh Ryan, you must be so new to the game as in 6 years the only "revisiting" we've ever gotten is upgraded exploration and mining and even those were minor. I share your hope but it's likely in vein.

[@Spartacusse]

TIP: You can press X (or 0% throttle) as soon as the countdown (4... 3... 2... 1...) to jump begins, to arrive at the destination already decelerated and not crash into the star.

[@YourLocalRaccoon]

I was once talking to a twitch streamer about ship interiors. He said they were a waste of time and totally pointless and we should never get them so that frontier can focus on other things. Despite the fact that something like 90% of the player base has wanted ship interiors since launch more than anything else in the game.

[@simonchoi817]

This is really amazing!! Thanks a lot! Are you happy to share the colour setup for your HUD, it looks great!

[@RogerElliot]

When mining, mine in private/solo mode. As soon as you jump into a mining site in a ring system, a NPC pirate will join you. Let the pirate scan you and realise you have nothing, then they'll jump back out and leave you alone for the rest of your mining session. If you drop into a mining site with cargo on board, the pirate will scan you and demand you jettison cargo. Comply with the demand at the same time as launching all your collector limpets. Your limpets will reclaim everything you jettisoned and the pirate will leave you alone.

[@Wither_Strike]

It would be nice to see a remake of this series in the new engine, I joined the game too late to recognize this old engine stuff and while technically I’ve not seen anything that’s actually changed the facts about what you’ve said the way you demonstrate it is a bit different now. Particularly with the mission select screen Edit: I actually think the DBX might have a slightly higher jump range than anaconda, not sure but it’s pretty close because my current DBX build has a range of about 60LY and I’ve never gone near anything guardian related and I’ve never talked to any engineers. The main factor in my jump range is the 5A pre-engineered FSD V1 I got from a tech broker, but other than that I’ve got an A rated battery (idk what it’s called), and all other core internals D rated. Lightweight alloy, and I don’t remember my exact optional internals but I know there’s a shield generator in there, an FSS, a scarab, and an advanced docking computer+supercruise assist because why not? As far as I can tell they don’t take any weight, I have a few open slots anyway, and they can be helpful when I’m being particularly lazy. I will probably go see Farseer soon though to see if I can squeeze some more jump range out of this ship while still being viable as a ship

[@MuzLFlasH]

Lolz on the ship interiors stab. I wonder if they realise people like me aren't buying it if you can't walk in ship. Kind of immersion breaking if not.

If you have a canopy breach you can get orbital lines and targeting back by turning on night vision.

[@Alvadar65]

I dont think people who are asking for ship interiors really understand the level of work required to do that with the ships we have in the game. The size of some of those ships are massive, like multiple football stadiums big. You could have an enitre indie dev Sci Fi game set inside of an Anaconda. Aside from that amount of work to get that done, Frontier already take a long time designing balancing and bringing out new ships that time taken would increase exponentially if on top of everything else they also had to get ship interiors built for all new ships and working without bugs. I get that itd be really cool and im on board with you in the cool factor but in terms of it being done with a game engine that wasnt designed for it with ships that werent designed for it and with such a massive work flow when people are already complaining about the speed of updates I just dont think its a good idea. The best we can reasonably hope for is walking around the imediate cockpit/bridge of some of the ships.

[@arnyt2002]

This. And just to expand on it even more.. 38 individual ships would have to be hand modelled. Every internal component (of each grade) would have to be hand modelled. Each interior can have different modules in different areas. You would have to test that each module looks right in every ship interior. How do you represent the module has been engineered? Sturdy would look different to lightweight. So even assuming the interiors have been created in a modular fashion already, your probably looking at a 2-3 year cycle for a decent development team just to create interiors. If you don't think so, look at how many ships have been created in Star Citizen with the funds and development team size they have.

What is the elite dangerous high end build for exploration

[@Exigeous]

Most go for the Anaconda given it has the longest range, I'm a fan of either the Krait Phantom or Asp X (Phantom being my favorite). I'd advise skipping the DBX for long range as while it's got a great jump range you have such limited internal space and only a class 4 scoop.

[@shattermage]

FDev never once said ship interiors were planned.

[@Exigeous]

@@shattermage Well that's not exactly true - for many years they've talked in general terms about walking around your ship, getting out on foot, etc. Now has it ever been in an official feature list - no. Do I give two or even one shit about ship interiors, not at all. I could care less about spacelegs all together and as for interiors where is the gameplay - and walking around is NOT gameplay.

[@LongTimeAgoNL]

@@shattermage Not entirely true. When VR was enabled for this game people were stunned by how it all looked and asked if there was ever a possiblity to walk 'around' the cockpit. The Devs responded, hinted and commented on how it might be considered. WIth the last trailer, we even saw people actually WALKING outside on planets, so people (me included) assumed this would also mean a 'interior' walking possibility was not very far, or atleast not off the table.

[@LongTimeAgoNL]

@@Exigeous Thank you! The game is great, even without the ship interiors. However, playing this game in VR does make me appreciate the work the Devs already put in the cockpit for us to enjoy, walking around the cockpit would have been great. Walking around in the ship would have been amazing. But it's not something I need. I was just hoping for it.

[@Exigeous]

@@LongTimeAgoNL And the problem you made there was "assuming" anything when it comes to Elite/Frontier.

And here 2.5-3 years later we've gotten ZERO updates to it (no mixing with wings, no sharing the SRV, no piloting your friend's ship, no 2 humans in SLF's, etc).

I was actually surprised it was that high as personally I don't give a rats ass about walking around ship interiors as walking around isn't gameplay and I want gameplay. I have walked around, sorta, in VR and it was cool for 3 or 4 minutes - now I have no desire to ever do it again as why would I?

[@troyholland2396]

I hope at the very least they make a cutscene of you walking in and out for flow instead of just a teleport and black screen...ur right its not something I can see myself doing often but would be nice here and there, especially if they get it right.

[@Pyrolysis2142]

I have two buttons binded to the base of my left joystick. 100% and 75% throttle and have supercruise assist on the manual throttle setting. That way you don't have to continually course correct and it'll automatically dump out of supercruise when you reach the destination. (I do this because my fsd button is a bit of a stretch for my thumb, and I'm lazy)

Use manual throttle, but let the assist drop you out. As long as you're on target, you'll still drop in at speeds up to 1c (and sometimes faster!)

You forgot E rated collector limpets, they have a lower mass then D rated, just like with shield boosters. Also, (didnt bother to check all) some of my ships definitely turn faster in SC at around 40% throttle.

[@Exigeous]

Actually E and D rated collectors weigh the exact same, the just have different ranges and limpet lifespans.

[@CptMooney]

@@Exigeous My bad, your right they have higher range instead of lower mass. The point was more that this is another instance where E rated modules are arguably more attractive than D rated ones.

[@mchair5552]

The last one I just can't understand what the fuck inside the devs mind? It's a simple but great featute to allow the player to walk inside their ship (w/ Odyssey)

[@TiffTiffGaming]

Tbh I’m not super bothered that the ship interiors won’t be a thing I’m just happy to get out of ship game play and il just hope for interiors later

[@ICKY427]

so if you have someone riding shotgun your modules will simply never fail? WHAT

[@jcorbett9620]

Why is it that when you approach a target (planet, station, POI) and you get "SLOW DOWN", shutting the throttles RIGHT OFF (X) causes your ship to IMMEDIATELY accelerate to the maximum throttle position UNTILthe nanosecond you have overshot the target - THEN drops back to zero? I've sat there smashing the X key, watching helplessly as the ship races up to full, maximum, "no shit we ain't stoppin'" throttle until the 10x -100 second you have passed the target. Is this a bug - or something I don't understand about the space flight model in E:D?

[@benzo02]

No it’s not, and you are not actually accelerating, when you get to within seven seconds of distance from the target, set your throttle to 75% (there is a bind for this). And this will decelerate you perfectly to exit at correct speed. In regards to acceleration, the bar on the right isn’t actually showing your speed, it’s showing your speed relative to objects around you, eg. If you are travelling really fast near a planet it will be super high. (As planets slow you down in FSD

[@Exigeous]

Because you're getting sucked in by the gravity well - it's a really shitty message as it doesn't really have anything to do with "slowing" at all. It really should be "Gravity Well" instead.

[@jcorbett9620]

@@Exigeous So that is why I "appear" to accelerate, even though the throttles are fully closed - the ship is being accelerated by the "pull" of gravity as I head towards it, then slowed by the same pull as soon as I pass. That explains a lot, ty.

[@jcorbett9620]

@@benzo02 Thanks, it's as I suspected - a feature of the space flight model in the game I didn't really understand :-)

I helped :P

Of course you did :D

[@wingman2472]

Hi I love all your stuff thanks for all the info i get off them . I'm new to the game & you have a lot that is outdated could you renew them for current year to help all us Noob's

[@Exigeous]

Actually very little of my content is outdated, save for some of the old credit stuff but even then the way you do those various tasks are still the same. Examples? And yes, i have a ton of new content planned.

[@wingman2472]

@@Exigeous nice sorry my mistake I was just seeing a lot of your older stuff as it related to what I was wanting to do . Yeah you do have lots of really good content thanks. I like yours more precise & to the point

[@WeirdBeardMike]

Can you hide a HUD in console?

[@Exigeous]

Not that I've ever heard - you could try opening a ticket with support to ask but I seriously doubt it. Sadly you gotta remember Elite is a PC game first and foremost, being ported to console after launch. As such features like this don't usually make it to console.

[@mawnkey]

If foregoing ship interiors meant a more bug free game I think FDev would suffer from almost no salt.

[@Exigeous]

I'm with you there

[@jackburton8352]

Wait what still trying to digest the first few tips may have to watch again...

[@rixxo]

Writing it down would have been really nice.

[@Exigeous]

Writing what down? I do all my videos from a script so it is all written down.

[@jimmaurer8361]

You said there are 400 billions planets? Or systems? I read an article early last year that it would take roughly 50,000 years to discover them all, if every player just explored

[@Exigeous]

Yep, I've heard a few different estimates here but 400 billion is the most common - I've also heard different estimates on what we've discovered, as low as 0.003% - the galaxy is a BIG place.

[@franticsledder]

400 billion systems. There are probably over a trillion planets.

[@LordRenegrade]

Official FDev statements say 400 billion. EDSM's map will cover the whole galaxy within 37,028 years (EDSM data is only collected by about a fifth of commanders apparently, thus it should take a lot less time for FDev's map to be covered). Latest data I can find about total coverage is 0.028% from FDev, although that's over two years old now. EDSM's coverage is much smaller at 0.014079%. Thanks to the pandemic, there's a lot more players playing now heh. Highest ever peak was in June of this year.

[@FirstNameLastName-wo7li]

Hey elite make sure you pay very close attention to this last tip.

"Animals"?

What was that hottest planet called again? Seems like its worth a visit

[@admiralgeneralnn]

I haven't played the game for over 2 years I think.... Started in 2015... Got my Triple Elite within a year. At some point I felt like the most Powerful player in the game. Then I got to busy with my life and lost interest in the game

10K bucks? Lucky bastard...

[@impulse8935]

So.. That means you can supercruise to sol without the permit

[@syntaxerror9994]

Wait... so if you manually fly to another system the map wont load? You mean the system map...or the actual system? That's pretty lame. Thanks for saving me the effort in trying it.

lol i have to watch this again

Orbits in 9 seconds lol. it'srolling on it.

The very first item on this list should have been: If you're new to Elite Dangerous, skip this video. Watching too long will discourage you from ever spending time on this game.
