Elite: Dangerous - New Ship, New Space Station - Premium Beta 2

[@AtaSergeyNowak]

The more space games there are the better Elite is looking sweet. Star Citizen / Elite: Dangerous / Enemy Starfighter / No Man's Sky / Limit Theory we are all brothers of the space sim genre. No competition only success! Tthe more the better!

[@buckofive2579]

Don't forget Rodina! :D

[@bowlock9901]

Don't forget "X-Rebirth". . . . .

[@GAFflyer]

Don't forget Rogue System

[@franspigel9281]

I can't believe how friendly the communities of the respective games are, everyone is on the same team. Whenever there's 2 similar games, all the fans of one game will hate on the other. With this genre, it's "hey, look how cool X looks in game Y! Do you think we'll get that in our own game?"

[@henoch44]

Fran Špigel It's not always like that, but we have been starving for good space sims for many years.

[@TechyBen]

Out of all the recent space games, the audio in this one makes it levels above in immersion.

[@weldonwin]

Check out the audio in Enemy Starfighter then, I think you'll like that one too

[@gownerjones2]

Seriously, every video I watch of this makes me wanna marry the sound engineer more.

[@DeJayHank]

combined with the warp visuals. mmmh that hit a good nerve in my brain.

[@gownerjones2]

DeJayHank Exactly! This game is so much better than Star Citizen at this moment. I hope the guys over at Roberts kick it up a notch.

[@Maakola77]

HOLyP | Gaming lol, this game is in Beta-phase, whilest Star Citizen still is in pre-Alpha-phase... Please don't compare the two before it's even finished :p I bet they both will be good games in the end, no matter which you choose!

[@gownerjones2]

Maakola77 That's why I said "at this moment".

[@Maakola77]

well obviously it is "at this moment"..... then why even bring up the topic...?

[@SimGamerTV]

Hi Scott, great stuff as usual. The other trick to finding the entrance side of a Coriolis Starport is to look for the flashing lights in the corners of the square. The entrance side has blue flashing lights, and the back-side has red ones. Keep flying, and stay shiny!

[@mrexists5400]

i love the bobble head, somewhat useful for telling you where the direction of acceleration is

[@lordsam808]

6:10 loving that Star Trek pun, didn't go unnoticed ;)

[@RobbieRobot]

Oh my goodness that is beautiful! I could watch that for hours. Sadly, I don't have a gaming PC or l would jump for this! Thank you so much for the videos. Please keep up your excellent work!!!

[@Attilakrieger]

Man....the sounds on this game i ABSOLUTELY love it! Awesome sound design, huge kudos to the sound team on Elite, genius!

[@AlexisyFR]

Something about the gimballed nerf: Yesterday, 11:16 AM Tom Kewell Designer- Elite: Dangerous Hi all! Some of you might have noticed we've done a bit of a balancing pass on gimballed weapons As with all game balancing it's an ongoing process, so we're reading your reactions with interest. The intention of the current set up is to create a system where the player must aim their ship in tandem with the gimbaling guns tracking to get the most out of targeting. We're looking to make a system where player's can't totally rely on the tracking of their weapons, and good pilots can fly in a way that allows them to score more hits. That being said, the current version is intentionally harsh, testing the extremes of what can be used. It is unlikely to be the permanent solution (unless you all turned out to love it!). I think the tracking rates you saw in PB1 were too high, but the current rates will be balanced up once we have had some time to experiment with the current system.

[@regemo]

The new station type is stunning. Great video. I think the video would pop even more with higher contrast so that the black of space looks darker.

[@LoremasterYnTaris]

Don't worry, Scott. We were all giggling at the engines.

[@SeriousKarol]

Just found out that the game is developed in cambridge science park, right next to my college. thats pretty cool tbh

[@gnosticares]

The gap in the rings at the beginning of the video is the shadow cast by the planet, where it's nighttime. That's a great piece of physics :)

[@CosmosFan1]

4:13 "Aaaaand, brill... brilliant???" lol

[@freedomfighter6708]

Wow.. the new Jump animations when going in and coming out of warp are SO MUCH Better now. This game is shaping up very nicely!

[@therearetoomanytomatoes]

Nice flying with you, Scott!

[@kunschner]

Haha 8:32, were you about to say "He can beat me pants down"??

[@SpacialKatana]

Literally salivating for the Beta to start ;p

[@Nic0maK]

that's the premium beta, next will come the standard beta, and finally gamma and release.

[@CrazyChemistPL]

I'm very interested in Elite, but I haven't really read into much depth about it. So atmospheric flight is planned? With seamless transition from orbital flight, I presume? It ought to be cool to actually fly your ship through reentry, all the way from orbit to the ground,

[@Tazdingo01]

Love your ED videos. Keep up the good work!

[@cerberus8666]

Man that station flyby and docking part was beautiful.

[@TowerSavant]

Gender options, that's great. Any shot you can have a left handed setup in your ship? Graphically speaking. I know I know, crazy talk.

[@scottmanley]

Can you even get a left handed HOTAS setup?

[@TheSkipjack95]

Scott Manley Well in planes with mini sticks ( Airbus and probably the newer Boeing stuff ), the Left side has inverted controls

[@TowerSavant]

Scott Manley That is an ominous question coming from you. I've had sticks in the past. I was planning on upgrading for Elite. Now I'm wondering just how difficult the shopping will be.

[@daftprince2234]

TowerSavant Left handed sticks shouldn't be hard (Check out the T-16000M). I don't know about the throttle though.

[@isodoublet]

TheSkipjack95 They are not inverted. It's very common for airplane controls to be that way, look at any Cessna single engine for instance. In a civilian aircraft you're not supposed to be doing jerky precision maneuvers anyway so the finer motor control of the right hand is not required. Pilots don't care and will quickly get used to whatever they're flying at the moment -- it's really minor compared to all the rest of the stuff that they have to get acclimated to in a new aircraft. Fighters and aerobatic aircraft seem to favor a right hand on the stick setup a little more consistently, for obvious reasons.

[@Duke49th]

Scott Manley Just a hint for the case you dont know it. Since 2.0 or 2.01 - if you like to try some ships and want to change it later, you can just buy another ship (even the sidewinder for 0Cr.) and get refunded 100%. I dont know what about the weapons..if you automaticly get refunded for them aswell. Just for the case you wish like to test some ships for a video and so on...

[@scottmanley]

I'm glad they fixed that.

[@HerraTohtori]

Resonating Separators, sounds exciting. Are they by chance manufactured by Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Company?

[@TaranTatsuuchi]

It's either those or self sealing stem bolts...

[@GeorgeplaysOfficial]

With each new beta I am biting my behind for putting all my spaceship allowance into Star Citizen and not Elite. Great video, Scott!

[@chrissharp8276]

reddit.com/r/starcitizen_trades

[@IIIIandrew]

That only thrusters in space dock reference made my day.

[@Neoplasmer]

Scott the systems which allow you to accellerate quickly without causing your bones to essentially liquify from the G-forces would be known as "Inertial Dampeners" or...dampers...at least thats what they called it in Star Trek so i figure its as fitting a name as anything else. but i like how you called it magical..because it is.

[@zingfodd]

Wow, this look amazing. Something to take the sting away from the latest X offering :)

[@rudy_4ier]

great video scott. can you do a slightly more elaborate flyover the rings of the orbis station? maybe just 2 minutes looking at the settlements in there. i'm a huge space station aficionado

[@pseudocoder78]

If you view the streams by FireyToad or Mendeck on Twitch TV, they've been doing close flybys of the orbis station on a fairly regular basis the last few days. The settlements inside the habitation rings aren't too elaborate, it's just a light-mapped texture on the inside of the ring that looks a bit like a super mario world map or something. You can't see people or buildings really. It looks much better from medium distance than from really close up.

[@DathoxUdictus]

Looking at this while playing the 3.3 beta. its come so far. eat your heart out star citizen.

[@mroushion]

Great video. I just got elite and omg it's awesome. Track if with x52 pro. Feels like it was made to play this game.

[@MrSCOTTtheSCOT]

CHOCKY has returned to haunt your spaceship, ghost in the machine

[@Bribe_Guntails]

I think the closest comparison you can draw the Haulers engines to would be the sound effects from Dead Space 1. Stuff like the distorted radio chatter.

[@PaulLoatman]

I like the little bobble head on the dash, that's a nice touch.

[@snuffypot11]

It is but why would it move in space???

[@PaulLoatman]

Momentum and inertia.

[@GunnerRA155]

You need to get a Cobra! The guys at Frontier must have used some Vulcan Bomber sounds because the engine sound sends shivers down my spine!! That HOWL!!! :) Brian :)

[@darmpflock8564]

If you do a picture search for the words 'nasa warp' you'll find some very appealing ship designs. I know they are rendered in a quality, that is impossible to archive in a pc-game. But it serves as a standart the developers should try to archive

[@wedgesvisions]

great vid! are you playing with track ir? mind to tell the joystick you're using? for the nth time maybe :P you could put those infos on the video description. o7

[@scottmanley]

I'm using my Track-IR and my Saitek x52 Pro (which looks a lot like the stick in the game).

[@weir-t7y]

***** "I don't really believe in giving money up front for something that I can't have yet." Unless it's Star Citizen lol

[@arkemiffo]

Ok, haven't read all the comments, so it might have been mentioned already. The reason (I believe) you didn't get any bounty on the first kill there is because you only get bounty you are aware of. Without a Kill Warrant Scanner, you will only be aware of the bounty within the current system, and if it is anarchic, there is no bounties afaik.

[@JohnMichaelson]

Scott, next time you're under attack...up up down down left right left right...they'll never see it coming.

[@AthAthanasius]

I thought the Hauler engines sounded 'windy', as in in-atmosphere. Sadly, I think, I've outgrown it now. Made enough credits to upgrade to a Cobra Mk III and carry 17+ units of whatever cargo :)

[@michaelderflinger5002]

It looks and sounds great - i only know this game from some reviews and you Scott Manley . I don't see whats the goal after one has got enough credits for a anaconda - Are there groups of players roaming as pirats or merchants? Is the PvP the long term motivation, or getting Elite-Status like in the old days?

[@Sakaton01]

Yeah finnaly some New elite gameplay. This game is so much better than star citizen.

[@MarkTuchinsky]

A game which isn't even out yet, not a nice time to judge.

[@scottmanley]

Not much in the way of combat this time mostly looking at new stuff and running away from hostiles.

[@tuna-gunk]

They both have two different goals. Elite is going for the purely space sim. I would compare it to the X series. Star Citizen is making an interactive space ship game featuring a space sim. Star Citizen is MUCH more ambitious, with boarding and FPS elements.

[@AtaSergeyNowak]

Element of Surprise Remember Elite will add walkable ship and stations in expansions. So essentially both games will have kind of generally similar feature sets but their execution will be very different.

[@tuna-gunk]

AtaSergeyNowak Oh, thanks! I had no idea. (This is not sarcastic)

[@SjaanK85]

This video won me over, the hell with it (throws wallet at monitor), I'm getting the premium beta!!

[@JAGUARCD32X]

I am looking forward to playing this on PC. It's a good time to be a PC gamer with lots of new games and hardware. I am looking forward to getting my hands on Oculus Rift and playing the up coming PC exclusives with it. Elite Dangerous , Star Citizen, Routine, The Forest, Lichdom Battlemage, Next Car Game , Assetto Corsa, Shadow Warriors, Hawken, DCS World all support Oculus. PC and PS4 game No Man's Sky also supports Oculus I believe , even Euro Truck Simulator and Doom3 do as well.

[@Captain_Kuntz]

Your Vid has Settled it I'm Buying on Thursday, See you in the Void Scott.

[@Nic0maK]

I'd love it if they do like in frontier manual, a description for every trade items, so that we know what we are actually dealing with.

[@scottmanley]

I'm pretty sure that'll make it in there.

[@007wxc]

I like the looks of the game a lot. you should record more of this.

[@arseyrc]

Did you notice that the pirates in Styx are named after Bladerunner characters?

[@yuven437]

This game looks amazing! :D

[@Boemel]

That Hauler seems it has the same air vents in the cockpit as in my Citroen :D

[@Halo1138]

I hoped that they would show off a new spaceship design! The D20 space station does look interesting and certainly unique, but tends to look a bit bland after seeing it all the time! The torus though looks very very neat especially with the sun shining in like that, but in all honesty, I hope that thing isn't really made of glass. I mean, I wouldn't build it that way. As for the Space Ford, I like the stubby design too. Reminds me of that spaceship that NASA wanted to use to originally replace the shuttle, I think it was the X-33, although they definitely wanted this to be a space truck. It even has the air vents! As always Scott, thank you kindly for reminding us why we should all buy this game!

[@zallibik]

not sure if I have asked you this before, but what flight stick do you use ? .. and have you any thought's on the x55 rhino ?

[@Zerepzerreitug]

This new space station looks so cool :D

[@bardet123]

Hey Scott, I was wondering that if, or rather when, "grouped jumping" (or teaming up by any name) becomes a thing do you allready have a squadron? If not, I wish to sign up :D(im in the Beta asswell). Anyways happy hunting!

[@henoch44]

Van't wait for this game to come out.

[@aruanamic8766]

the things you can do with a game is amazing thats why i want to go to school and learn how to design games

[@toddi1971]

@1:27 probably it's the shadow of the planet :) cheers

[@Nic0maK]

i dont think he meant that "gap". the ring is divided into 2 part at some distance from the planet it is much darker: that's the real gap

[@toddi1971]

Nic0maK true, overlooked that

[@killerv135]

That warp drive is wow!!!!

[@Jovian999]

I'm hoping this can replace Egosoft's X series as my go-to space exploration game, since they've gone in a very different direction with Rebirth. Full circle, since that series was in turn inspired by the original Elite.

[@altverskov]

When you are landing please turn on your ship lights. It's really helps not to bump in each other.

[@johnallardyce4164]

Hey Scott, do you EVER sleep ? ;P Thanks for playing/testing all the latest space games.

[@MrTwhispers]

Scott Manley Are you looking forward to No Man's Sky?

[@TheTrueReiniat]

The face in the clouds of Aulin crept the shit out of me....

[@Nic0maK]

Scottia manley ? dont mess around with that option ^^

[@katzolik]

why there are star like things flying by the cockpit even on sub light or even fairly low speeds? seems just wrong =D

[@Dante80]

The "space dust" that you see is an interactive projection by your cockpit UI that gives you situational awareness and conveys information about the actual vector you are currently flying at. The streaks are not physical objects in the game, and you will see them disappear if for whatever reason your glass canopy breaks. Remember, this is a spaceship with 6 degrees of freedom in flying around (pitch, yaw, roll, strafe x,y, move forward and backwards) so in the limited frame of reference space provides you need something to convincingly convey speed and vector. Hope that helps, cheers..C:

[@AtomicHorror]

They're generated by the HUD to help the pilot judge speed and heading. Head especially important when you have flight assist off and can be facing a different direction to the one you're moving in!

[@solunasunrise]

is there acutally an ouside view of the ship ? like 3rd person view wehn playing ? or will there be one ?

[@theloneexplorer5328]

Have you heard of Limit Theory Scott?

[@Scoobydcs]

can you customize the controls? ie can i set keys for gear and cargo scoop etc or do you always have to go through menus?

[@General12th]

As far as I know, _everything_ can be customized. In fact everything _has_ to be customized. The first hour of gameplay involves setting everything up so you can fly with enough practice to not crash. It's a simulation game, after all.

[@CarCultureColombia]

where can i get elite: dangerous and when

[@CarCultureColombia]

is it really 150-295 dollars?

[@Nic0maK]

gregorio betancur gomez 150$ if you want to play now in premium beta. if you wait for the next beta (29th Jully) it's half that price, you wont get the expansion pass(included in premium beta) unless you buy it before the next beta starts. if it's still too much, wait for the game at release, it's cheaper as i told you : 50$. Jully 15th : Premium Beta wont be available to buy anymore. jully 29th : End of PB, Second round beta(standard beta) starts. and the expansion pass is retired from the store. 295$ was for alpha access, that's over now.

[@CarCultureColombia]

so when does the game sells at full release? and as long as i remember people where either payed or invited to test games, now you have to pay a fortune? i dont get it

[@Nic0maK]

no, you pay to support the game they give you acces for that, that's crowdfunding, obviously you pay more than what its worth. and it limitst the numbers of testers in the same time, the release will happen by the end of this year.and only for 50$

[@pHappyfeet]

Can't wait to play this game and find my own Marker. Unitology is truth.

[@PhoenixDfire]

very nice. Almost makes me want to buy a Oculus DK2 just to play this one

[@Arkham_UK]

wow looks very impressive and immersive :)

[@TheMarcHicks]

I'm curious, what are the system requirements for this game? I'd like to know so I can have my computer upgraded-if needs be-before the final release.

[@MrLareneon]

Have to call you on it Scott, wouldn't the two rings have the same rate of rotation but totally different angular velocities? v=s/t so a greater circumference means greater velocity, no?

[@scottmanley]

No, the ring further out orbits more slowly.

[@MrLareneon]

Scott Manley Are they not fixed to the central shaft?

[@Nic0maK]

If the angular speed in rad/s is the same, the closer you are to the center, the slower you are in terms of m/s. d=2pi*radius, v=d/t. if the radius increases, then d increases. if d increases, but t stays the same, v will increase. in other words you have to travel more distance in the same amount of time, the conclusion is simple, you need to go faster. but i think we all understand that, someone in the bigger ring travels more distance in the same amount of time than someone standing in the smaller ring "further out". even though the angular speed is the same.

[@scottmanley]

Are you guys trolling? Planetary rings are made up of particles orbiting the planet under the force of gravity, as such the velocity of particles in the rings is v = sqrt(GM/r) Where G = universal constant of gravitation, M = mass of planet, r = distance from center of planet. So, the particles in orbits further out don't need to move as fast as particles closer in.

[@Nic0maK]

.... i thought we were talking about the stations rings....

[@wagner55]

that landing sold me

[@Marcus-yh4cj]

This game looks amazing.... When it comes out I will buy it :P

[@IAmCaffeinated]

This game looks absolutely amazing.

[@Hunchsideiron]

Scott Womanley, most amazing thing ever.

[@Agora2021]

That hauler sounds really alien.

[@googlereviewer1944]

Looks great but no colour LCD computer screens in 3020AD? I had monochrome in 1980! I hope the control system and physics is better than Frontier - that was unplayable!

[@Ch3wyzzz]

yes i just got my standaard beta email, Scott how do you play ? key+mouse or ...

[@o.r.cgaming-orbitreconcomb4834]

Hey scott have you been in contact with ee recently he seemed to have vnished if not for the legacy videos

[@Outpost38C]

Scott, I feel like you should do something on Space Engineers :D It's a pretty cool game.

[@TCBYEAHCUZ]

Scott, Question: when you were approaching the first station i noticed you were able to roll the space craft as gracefully as the rotation of the station, so my problem is, is there anyway to map the smoothness of the controls? as when ever i roll it's only 2 different levels of force that my device inputs which is a logitech extreme 3D pro, i find that with elite there is no smooth turning, it's only "roll left, and the ship rolls left at a constant speed, i can't roll smoothly and match the angular momentum of the station, it always goes either too slow or too fast, hope you get my *drift* lol

[@Nic0maK]

have you set your roll&pitch controls on axis or on pitch up/down & roll left/right? if the latter, then remove those and bind it to pitch axis and roll axis.

[@TCBYEAHCUZ]

Nic0maK Ahh no shit!!! LOL thats why hahah yes i'll change that.

[@Nic0maK]

lol, that should make quite a difference ^^

[@XxRecoilx]

Could someone please tell me if I can run this game with my GeForce GT 630 graphics card AMD FX-6300 Six-Core Processor and idk if i need to show any other specs other than RAM but i have 16 gigs

[@JebediahKermanZaddy23]

I wish there was something like the ability to turn inertial dampeners off, so like in the original game you could set up to rotate the same speed as the station before docking.

[@Dante80]

Turn off your flight assist (thus moving in newtonian 6df). You will keep rotating unless you counter-thrust in the opposite direction.

[@JebediahKermanZaddy23]

Dante800 Thanks :D

[@1simo93521]

You can. If you turn off flight assist mode the ship will carry on spinning until you manually correct it.

[@meechtsm]

Could the gap in Vulcan's rings be caused by the station that is in orbit causing a resonant gravitational pull on the rocks?

[@scottmanley]

Good question, but I doubt it

[@TechyBen]

Scott Manley Did you see XKCD "What if"? The gravity of Starlings is enough to attract an object in space, and not over too much time either... what-if.xkcd.com/99/

[@panzerbeards6383]

Simon Feck The small dark wedge is the planet's shadow, yes, but there's also a gap in the plane of the ring itself. You see the same effect in Saturn's rings.

[@qcrulzz]

Are ships taking damage depending on where you shoot them? If you fire at the propulsion, will it paralyze the ship?

[@carguy8487]

What button is disengage supercruise im having lots of trouble with this

[@jameslines864]

Also I heard voices as well but I thought I was just loosing my shit. Glad someone else heard it to , I will cancel my lobotomy.

[@jimcastor8601]

really looking good isn't it.

[@gerryroberts2897]

where do you go to play elite dangerous i checked on the web but i could not find it

[@wj5611]

Holy crap 70$, FOR A BETA. Scott manley you mist live in a mansion. The last time i even got a video game was 2 years ago. Wow is there some sort of discount or something, because i want this so bad but really? 70$ thats just rediculous, also if you buy the beta do you also have access to the full game?

[@WhiteBerryBold]

What setup do you use? (specifically controls (keyboard/hotas/etc.) and if there is any head-tracking soft/hardware)

[@WhiteBerryBold]

nvm read the comments below. but i do have one question, should i preorder the game? do you think the full game would be worth $50? even if i just have a standard keyboard/mouse setup?

[@Nic0maK]

WhiteBerryBold well i play with an old gamepad(25€) saitek p2600 rumble, it's not as good as a joystick surely but you can play ED quite well with it, i dont feel the need to get something else. FD will add lots of content in the next months, and release wont be the end of it so yeah, to me it does worth the 50$. trackir & occulus rift are both supported since alpha1. keyboard & mouse is possible, and well thought, but you might want to upgrade to a better controller.

[@WhiteBerryBold]

Nic0maK alright thanks

[@bobykim5311]

Very nice video Scott!! I have a question about the game. I have seen a lot of vids and once a while there are new star systems to be discovered. But apart from the different goods that you can buy in those new star systems, they all look exactly the same to me. Maybe a different sun and planet color but that's it. To me it feels that this game will be boring after discovering a few star systems: been there done that. What is the thrill of the game?

[@Nic0maK]

I wouldnt consider the curent look of systems as final, just in the last update they change clouds, and textures need some improvement as well. though even if they make it much better, there may be no way to not make it look samey, do we know if the real galaxy wouldnt? the gameplay is quite basic at the moment, not much to do except fighting or trading. there's a long list of things to come like missions for instance, from which i expect a lot. this will work together possibly with the background event simulation, events will create opportunities, missions etc... i'm looking forward to playing with friends in coop, making missions together this kind of thing. i'm also waiting for landings on planets and the walking around within ships and stations but those will come as expansions.

[@joshbonus1]

Scott, are u exited for No man's sky?

[@jameslines864]

I got this ship ran tea from azaban city to aulin enterprise , then ran progenitor cells back to azaban city . I made 200.000 credits in 4 hours. And people say trading is pointless in ed.

[@cookiejarvis3856]

So how many ships will there be in elite dangerous? for a universe that big i can imagine over 1000 ships in the final game or it will get boring

[@Nic0maK]

25 to start with at release. but release is not the end, they'll keep adding content long after that point.

[@rpfs9081]

that engine sound will get aggravating. Sounds like a demented Probe Droid

[@NecroPhase1]

What are the white particles flying across the outside of the cockpit meant to be?

[@Nic0maK]

imagine it's your ship showing you this in order to give you some feeling of speed.

[@NecroPhase1]

Nic0maK You mean the ship generates them (or displays them on screen) to give the pilot a feeling of speed?

[@Nic0maK]

that's the idea.. though you always see them when the canopy explodes... i hope it can be turned off at some point.
