[Elite: Dangerous] Fleet Carrier Arrival

[@annoyinggull]

It’s weird that a game about space has the best sounds I’ve ever heard in a game

[@LiveseyMD]

It would be completely boring otherwise.

[@PepsiSpriteLight]

Simulated sounds, according to the lore. But amazing nontheless

[@stefensmith9522]

Play the game on mute if you want realistic lol

[@HazaHyperion]

@@PepsiSpriteLight Ooh lore sources, where’d it say this?

[@artificerdrachen6908]

You could just say that the sounds made by FSD activity are distortions and ripples in space/time.

[@edelweisseducation]

Ok fleet carrier jumps are awesome as is. The angle, the lighting… you just made this look majestic. Awesomeness level went from 100 to 1000

I love how capital ships in Elite basically tear apart time and space when jumping. WH40k style, just waiting on Warp daemons or Event Horizon horror.

probably a reason they call it witch space in the lore

[@RadicalKattastrophe]

@@jeffcapes It's not just Lore. Players can experience the sounds, and sights of such too... There are reasons! They didn't just put Lore, and say go! They added stuff. Over all small stuff that unless combined most won't notice, but when they do align... It's freaky man....

You can experience that the same thing in the NYC subway system. It is probably the loudest subway system in the world.

[@mb-electricalservices]

The one thing you definitely cannot fault ED for, it's immersive sound effects! I'll never forget my first encounter with a Thargoid that interdicted me...I was in my ASP Explorer just minding my own business exploring the galaxy then BAM....I was yanked out of hyperspace. I was like a deer in the headlights! It was an experience in my 30+ years of gaming that I'll never forget. Brilliant. :) A quick change of underwear and I was back in the game .. :D

[@LiveseyMD]

I remember my first Thargoid encounter the same way)

[@MoosicDude]

I about pooped myself when one of those pulled me out of hyperspace. The game can be a bit dry at times, but this encounter was awesome.

[@Hardcover_Pilot]

The sound and the visuals of the jump effect still make me think that capital ships are actually traveling through the Warp from 40k.

[@kingbrit4583]

That was my thought as well when i saw a capital ship jump in. I was like "damn, is that the fucking warp?!"

[@L._.A-06]

It’s called witch space in this game I think but yeah pretty much warp

[@Dampfaeus]

I always wait for something to audible knock on the Carrier from outside when sitting in my ship, deep inside the Carrier's hull, whilst it travels through the Warp. No luck so far. Maybe that's why it honks before going in :D

[@Humaricslastcall]

It pretty much is minus the magic, lore wise. It's especially interesting when you compare the two methods to enter witch space. One is where you basically go from real space, to basically hydroplaning real space, and then - quite literally - turning your ship into a bullet that makes a tiny little hole into Witchspace to go to other systems. And then you have the Capital-class ships, where they for all intents and purposes shoot the local space-time into swiss cheese and ram themselves through the anomaly into Witchspace, and then flying back out of it like a whale on ketamine.

[@braisinran7663]

That initial first two seconds of the jump sound still gives me chills.

[@OmegaPaladin144]

In other games, this would be the sound of some ancient alien derelict, lost for millennia. In Elite it is a player's mobile base.

You know, with how ominous this feels, I could be convinced that the development of the frameshift drive in the ED universe was derived from the same interdimensional travel experiments which lead to the creation of a portal to Hell in the Doom universe. Pretty sure the only difference is that in the ED universe someone remembered to carry the 1, and now we get spooky FTL travel instead of demons.

[@ChaotiX1]

considering Capital FSD's are based on Thargoid tech, i'm pretty sure it IS a portal being ripped in space-time. Instead of folding space around the ship like a standard FSD, it bores a wormhole tunnel directly to the exit system.

[@K31TH3R]

@@ChaotiX1 Did not know that the capital FSD is based on Thargoid tech. That's a good bit of lore to know. I've also been hankering to get back into the black, haven't played ED for well over a year and I think it's time to jump back in...

[@joshuagarcia2868]

This game has some of the best audio and visuals ever

[@mikawelll]

Elite Dangerous as many many flaws right now. But damn ...... the sound of this game is perfect ( only the handguns sounds need polish). Great video . This angle make the arrival of your Fleet Carier almost scary like a mythological beast. Well done.

[@AppleGonCrumble]

Honestly the Fdev sound team should be working on billion dollar movie franchises.

[@gavinmitchell3709]

Maybe not most of it... Sound design absolutely. The rest I can't really agree with given that the quality of content the team has been pumping out has consistently been less-than-acceptable since the launch of Horizons. The speed of development and the lack thereof in the literal sense of the word "development" has been abysmal. The Scorpion has been in the game since 2018 in an unfinished state (wheels weren't quite modelled out, physics could do some working on, guns didn't work). It took them two years to fix the guns, rework srv physics (what they had done it Odyssey) and model out the wheels. Ships like the Panther Clipper were found in the same datamine that the Scorpion was originally found in (and like the scorpion they were able to spawn it in in a testing environment) and the cockpit was almost nothing (ui worked) and on the systems panel it showed up as a Gutamaya ship with no extra info. I suspect a 2025 launch of that one given it's current state. It's just terrible. Slow and disappointing.

[@candlestyx8517]

You can tell they took heavy inspiration from 40k here, the rift looks very shadowy and stormy and the ship emerges into real space very ominously.

When I first saw these bigger fsd jumps I just thought it was some sort of weird sciencey (game design) reason that they were cloaked in smoke and haze but I'm realizing now that it's probably dragging in witchspace with it. Which makes me wonder how crazy it would be if someone were to use a powerful enough fsd to bore a hole into witchspace and keep it open. I wonder what would happen? 🤔

[@dr.prismatic5118]

Theres a concept in modern physics known as Vacuum Decay. To get your answer, you should look it up.

[@nickdouglas736]

I don't know anything really about ED and it's Lore but that looks fantastic. Like it's ripping a hole through space.

[@JuneKitsune973]

From what I know of the lore that's actually what it does. Since the larger capital ships all have older FSD modules. They tear open a hole into 'Witchspace' and fly into it; transporting the ship to its destination near instantly at superluminal speeds

[@Tombaysbot]

the bells in the sound are the most horrifying but at the same time the best and most appropriate thing for a jump i've heard

[@swivelshivel6576]

I forget what media it was, but considering space is noiseless a system that would transmit emitted energy into “sound” on a ship would be a good way to explain why we can hear anything that goes on exterior to the ship you’re on.

I sincerely don't understand this point when we're talking about space games and movies. Essentially, in a real life we don't have music for dramatic moments of our lives, but in movies it completes the picture. The same I see here. It would be incredibly boring to remove sounds.

[@kurdistanindependance5471]

@@LiveseyMD agreed making it to realistic can make some games boring

[@RKSNomad]

The game does explain why there is sound, it stated that to avoid space delirium and allow us to use all our senses when experiencing or determining an event, COVAS, the onboard computer, is able to scan the surrounding electromagnetic, light and radio waves and convert them into sounds that either mimic or relay what is being seen, hence why a sun sounds like a low rumbling white noise and a quasar sounds like a banshee has infected your dreams. I think its a great way to explain sounds in space and allow artistic freedom to make things sounds the way they do. My favorite thing to go with the lore is trapped transmissions in witch space. travel through witchspace enough and pay attention, you will hear radio transmissions that range from docking requests to maydays, sometimes you even hear the echos of the dead whispering in your ear.
