Elite Dangerous: Federal Capital Ship VS Thargoids

#elitedangerous #elitedangeroushorizons
Footage of the FNS Varian Scott during the Battle of HIP 22460
Almost 40 minutes of footage of the FNS Varian Scott being active in the Conflict Zone, shooting at Thargoids.
Sadly, I do not have any footage of the Majestic Class Capital Ships in action in HIP 22460
The videos were recorded in E:D Horizons 3.8

Nice lightshow, but they dont seem to pack much punch versus those thargoids dont they? Those captial ships seem to be a bit underpowerred, one would expect to melt those realative tiny ships in a few seconds, but no such thing here...its like having BattleStar Galactica armed with bb or airsoft guns.

[@417Owsy]

capital ships were nerfed some time ago for gameplay reasons and the AI doesn't seem to target weak spots or hearts of the thargoids. they are more than capable of destroying scouts however which is weird

[@voidkat4202]

Well according to the lore these are just experimental AX capital ships.

[@evobsm2328]

​@@brummyuk2151 i always hear people praising elite dangerous, starfield and no mansky whilst making fun of star citizen... i played elite dangerous and while it was cool it is as you said. Its like they... neutered the game whilst it had so much potential.

​@@brummyuk2151Talk about a fleet of those babies holy fuck they could absolutely vipe out thargoids like a mower does to grass 😂

@@FBI_Agent_ I'm willing to bet, sometime down the road when we're nearing the end of the war and need one final push against the titans- we're gonna see a massive fight the way you imagine it

[@hendrihendri3939]

We Definitely need pre-nerf Capitals back I wanna see a proper slug between A Farragut-Majestic combo vs the biggest Thargoid they could throw

[@kerbodynamicx472]

You are looking for battlecruisers vs thargoid titan.

[@jordanbrancato7026]

for a dev to nerf anything is bull shit. they should've thought about the specs before release not after.

[@QantusVitae]

Its insane that a Farragut-class capital ship cannot destroy a Hydra.

[@kerbodynamicx472]

They don't have AX weaponry, and Thargoids have 99% damage resistances to most human weapons...

[@Azakadune]

@@kerbodynamicx472then fucken equip them with thargoid weapons and send the 3km capital ships in.

[@mikey5396]

It's not even the Hydras that's silly. Any time you see their weapons converging on a small point it's them shooting at SCOUTS and not killing them.

[@mbrsart]

RIP FNS Varian Scott. I fought many battles around that majestic ship. Now she's a derelict hulk.

[@kalzonenu]

This looks awesome imo, this is what it should be at every capital ship close to thargoid and in thargoid system, some action!

[@tobiasneethling8871]

i remember my first time seeing a federal ship years and years ago when i first picked up the game. i accidentally fired on it and it incinerated me in one go

[@aircraftandmore9775]

0:45 I can imagine the commander of the varian Scott barking out orders like a madman

[@Roytulin]

Ooo this is good for background playing

[@maeror1022]

Just the sheer heat transfer alone from those massive laser beams ought to be enough to melt the Thargoids into a puddle of brightly glowing liquid metal very, very quickly. If that battleship fired those lasers at my Krait Phantom I'd be incinerated instantly.

[@filipbitala2624]

I think a thargoid is a bit stronger than your krait, but yea

[@BaddyHotty]

I was having a bad day until I read your channel’s bio 😹 classic self deprecating humor, I didn’t laugh at you but rather at the witty sense of comedic bit writing you have, truly probably saved me from descending into more depression. And, the beautiful video of course. These sounds in deep space calmed me especially hearing them in my sound bar!

[@RADD93]

It's absolutely wicked to see a federal Corvette battleship fighting the thargoids but it doesn't seem to be able to do much damage, plus it looks like a mini Star Wars Republic Ventilator, 😏 sweet!!!

[@adambaker2670]

Ventilator🤨.....venator

[@drdomdiego]

Very beautiful

[@KORR]

got a lifetime sub, but haven't played in years (pre thargoid actually) ... 30min battles with seemingly toothless capital ships really doesn't make me wanna come back :(

[@jordanbrancato7026]

damn hes just lighting them up likes it new years in NYC.

[@clarbr1996a]

Why is frontier development trying to Nerf the game into oblivion

[@harrasika]

Uhh, because Oblivion is one of the greatest games ever made? Duhhh🙄

What do you mean?

i didn't know this was even a thing!

[@tetiitet]

100% sure it'll be like carrier ships and u have upkeep which make the game become more like a work 💀

[@OldManPaxusYT]

🤯

[@Gazooka]

Wish they’d give us an engineer upgrade for our normal weapons to actually deal damage to thargoids.

[@aaronmarshall3593]

Whats the build for this

[@alextopman5977]

Капиталы разве имеют AX вооружение?? В чём их польза против таргоидов?

[@c_d_r1810]

i wish we could buy those capital ship 😪

[@ZenithalPoint]

Startrek was right. Laser won't do anything. I mean, that was just a joke but this is EXHAUSTING to watch what the actual f is that. Are those ships firing laser pointer??? 🤣🤣🤣 Why it took so long and what's with all these roaring sound are these small things some sort of live-ship thingy???

[@pierre-yvesdurand6749]

Why Frontier doesn't propose to have that ship too even if it's expensive to have something strong enough to defeat thargoids as all of them are minimum elite rank so even my Anaconda with engineers upgrade will that's not easy against bigger thargoids ship

[@battragon]

So these lasers are just incredibly weak?

[@kerbodynamicx472]

No, Thargoids have 99% damage resistence against most human weaponry, and dedicated AX weapons are required to defeat them. These lasers would melt your ship in seconds.

[@filipbitala2624]

@@kerbodynamicx472 pretty sure its 70%

[@Chaos2Go]

Nice Lightshow but the weapons of the battleship are really weak against thargoids

[@Osmone_Everony]

Pew pew pew that's so much fun - NOT!

[@teemum.9023]

Thargoids didn't shoot back

[@mb-electricalservices]

This is weak..... I expected to see a huge show of power and performance from a capital ship but all I see is pew pew lasers......😮

[@JCarey1988]

IKR?! No point-defense cannons streaming a rain of tracer shells, no missiles, no mass drivers charging and thundering. LAAAAAAAME.

[@Localnimation]

Bruh that capital ship is useless, even anaconda can destroy those thargo faster

[@sanchoplays]

ну и говнище :D

[@maxvonkrieger5043]

They need to remake the game in unreal engine 5 or make a follow up with todays gameplay possiblities.

[@VonWipfenfels]

Ah yes, elite dangerous. Where fights are 40 minutes of chipping at eachothers shields because firepower is not existent.

[@filipbitala2624]

You obviously havent touched engineering

[@VonWipfenfels]

@@filipbitala2624 I gave up on elite after I farmed corrosive multis for my corvette. I've put 335h in it and it looks like I'll have to put twice that time just to get something that is remotely viable. Fuck that grind, it's worse than an EA game.

[@filipbitala2624]

@@VonWipfenfels the reason EA games are bad is becaude they are P2W, this isnt, you are obviously complaining just to complain, and i have put around 800hrs to the game, and even at 400 i had a viable ship, its true that without engineering they dont have much damage, but the enemy doesnt either, so calling it non-viable just shows how bad you are

[@filipbitala2624]

@@VonWipfenfels btw, corrosive doesnt stack, having more than one corrosive is a waste

[@VonWipfenfels]

@@filipbitala2624 I know lol. It's one size one corrosive/range multi cannon to keep applying debuff and the rest overcharged. But no, elite has potential but the content is shallow and the grind is not excusable. I'm not spending more time on a game that is as shallow as elite, a big world to explore can't fix that.

[@clarbr1996a]

Wouldn't it be better to make the game

[@TehJumpingJawa]

How incredibly dull....

[@theldraspneumonoultramicro405]

this is... overwhelmingly dissapointing, those cap lasers seem essentially useless, range and power is laughable, dont give a sence of "capital ship" what so ever.

[@minivandetta]

Ngl this looks so mid next to star citizen

[@yourfbiagent2053]

its a whole diffrrent game, but elite got more quests and big galaxy to explore

[@minivandetta]

Yeah i played elite, it just kinda seems empty though. Like yeah you can fly around to a bunch of proceduraly generated moons and explore flat terrain but why would i. The quests and rep are problably better but idk man server wide events in star citizen are pretty crazy@@yourfbiagent2053
