Elite Dangerous - The NEW Ship That SHAKES Things Up

[@owl448]

so weird seeing new ship videos for elite

[@nicholaslennon]

Devs want to get into the good graces of fans again.

[@cmdr_sludgehammer]

After the damaging Odyssey release and the apparent restructuring within the company, I'm very happy to see the upcoming release of a fourth new ship this year. Ground combat and overall performance has gotten much better, and I think they're on the right path with all the changes they've gone through in the last year. Yes, there's still some things broken (on-foot storage and bartender issues are making armor and weapon mods impossible right now), but there's still a lot of hope for this game, I think. If it's true that we're going to see on-foot Thargoid activity in the future, they have GOT to get this fixed or they'll never get new players into the game.

[@kuro_neko5863]

Their financial situation has gotten so bad that they have no choice but to jump onto the PTW cash shop ships. Expect a lot more of this in the future. And for the price for ships to slowly increase even as the time before ships become available for credits also increases. Also expect even less bug fixing than before, since between bug fixes they can't sell and ships they can sell, the greed is always going to win.

[@StMargorach]

​@@nicholaslennon which is great!

[@StMargorach]

​@@kuro_neko5863thing is, if they were going to do that, they kent name them available for credits after 3-4 months. High is what they are doing now. People that play elite hate the high priced ships star citizen is known for. So it wouldn't be in their own best interest

[@nomadic-lyfe9877]

I wanted to give you some props. I watched your review of elite dangerous a few weeks ago. I then decided to dive back into it. Was able to convert my PS5 version to the PC version. And have been playing it ever since. Even spent $13 on a new ship, just to throw the company some money. Which brings me to this comment. I think they should know that your reviews do lead to positive outcomes.

[@RedAssassin274]

Wdym by convert, like, my progress on Xbox would transfer to PC if I got Ed on PC?

[@ToxicCandy116]

It looks like a hybrid between a cobra and a viper

[@voided76]

I'd say there's a hint of mandalay in the percieved curvatures of the wings. There should be a stripped out and nasty mk 5 viper as MOST designs have gotten bigger and cushier these days. it'd be interesting. to very carefully design to compete with eagle / empire eagle for raw/racing specs. I'd like to see a racing league supported by Fdev but that's just the sim racer in me.

[@HrWisch]

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it for the first time.

So ED is not dying just yet. They slapped themselves in the face and "restarted the engines". This is a video we need you to make. How from "ED is dying, everybody is jumping ship" we went to this "rebirth". Also: SHIP INTERIORS, SHIP INTERIORS, SHIP INTERIORS. THIS will change the game! (without really changing it)

They have had too many failures outside of Elite and realized they were wrong to neglect the game like they did and so are putting in effort again.

Panther Clipper 🤫

[@annihilator4413]

@@Tembel_Kopek We can only hope, fellow commander ;-; People keep saying a Panther Clipper wouldn't work, because it's too large for any existing ports or docks, but they could easily just add a drydock like the have for the capital ships you see in Federation or Imperial systems for their battleships. It could be smaller and specifically meant for Panthers, and have like 6 - 8 slots for docking and have normal station services.

[@urazz7739]

@@Tembel_Kopek Panther Clipper or maybe an Anaconda Mk 2. If I recall isn't the Anaconda one of the oldest ship designs out there lorewise? I can see them making a new one for that reason.

I want better Vulture. Vulture is the GOAT ship for me. Maybe even medium Vulture with 2x size 4 hardpoints and 2x size 1. Something in those lines.

[@shamanicdude8605]

Something large for the alliance to compete with the Corvette and Cutter maybe?I really love Lakon's designs,I hope they make a large ship,preferably without a rank grind.

[@mamawakikawasaki]

I would love to see NPC squadron team mates in the future. Might be a good reason for me to get back to tthe game after very long break, since after over 700hours I don't really have any future goal or motivation to play. I preffer to play solo and also don't have any friends that play Elite, so I'm missing out on this part of the game and don't have any motivation to play it further. My idea is to hire a newbie NPC and train him up from using small ships up to a big ones. But the catch is, they only gain experience by completing the mission with you and also you have to provide a ship yourself. Maybe a bonus experience from yourself using a ship from the same category. You could fly with medium or large along, but the experience gain would be low as they have to figure it out themselves and won't learn anything from you during the mission. Also having multiple cades on a mission would distribute exp evenly. The pilos would have to be trained in categories seperately - hauling, mining, fighting, taxi. In PvP, they could only fight with other NPC pilots and leave player alone, since they honor a fair fight. Might be fun to see them dogfighting with other players pilots too. This would give players an opportunity to try new ships and maybe go back to smaller ones, if they are stuck with one - or two ships like me - forever. It will also motivate you to actually do other variety of missions, that you may have skipped or avoided as the rewards were mediocre or irrelevant (or you just didn't think about doing them at all). Seeing your teammate piloting one of your other/older favourite ship would be great. And you would get a fleet for your carrier and wont feel so lonely on journey trough the space. Bonus if they could be sent on mining missions to refuel the ship or do some other supporting roles, like identifying core asteroids or protecting you from pirates during mining or hauling. I think this might work really well with upcoming own star system development update and give many players an opportunity to experience the game from the begining.

[@mamawakikawasaki]

Oh yeah, and I love that they are finaly introducing new ships and the game is developing once more :)

As an original '84-er, who owns all the ships, and has done pretty much everything to do in the game, but still uses the Cobra III as a daily commute and explorer, THIS is the ship I'll buy next. I love the design, and the new specs are very welcome. This will totally replace my ageing MkIII, which quite frankly, is really showing its age now, especially with the Mandelay out there.

[@Djmack1992]

It's still bizarre to me that they chose not to make the SCO Supercruise boost an in-game firmware update to the standard FSD's. Now anyone who has the pre-engineered FSD is just gonna let them collect dust because the SCO FSD's are just better than anything else on offer. I don't mind Fdev adding ships that are simply better than their predecessors but I really feel that ships that are just straight-up better than their competitors should be unlocked in some way. In EVE you had to have skills trained in order to fly certain ships, which gave a sense of real progression even later on. In ED there are already permits and unlocks for completing certain milestones so why aren't there more things like that?

[@Tembel_Kopek]

It was probably just easier to throw a new item into the game instead of implementing a fun and engaging mission- or quest line to upgrade your existing FSD. It's lazy game design, some may even say it's bad game design. And they can't tell me they didn't know how much the players hate grinding.

[@mariotomazzoni6523]

Frontier never bothered with upgrading or fixing old things. The Eagle was a day one ship in the game, and it biggest drawback was the size 2 power plant and the lack of size 2 weapons. It was underpowered, under gunned, but good looking and many players loved it and bought the ship kit and paint jobs. Frontier used the same model, added some parts from the Eagle ship kit permanently to it, made the power plant size 3 and one size 1 weapon hardpoint a size 2. So instead upgrading the old Eagle the created a new "Imperial" Eagle with minimum efford, making the old obsolete. Of course the old paint jobs and the old ship kit of the Eagle can't be used on the Imperial Eagle, so players would have to buy a new paint job for the new Eagle. Same with the Type 7 freighter that needs a large landing pad due it's height while being in every aspect (except a little more cargo space) worse than a Python that only needs a medium landing pad. Instead of resizing the Type 7 model so it can use also medium landing pads Frontier just released better an bigger freighters.

10 years and they still don't have proper Anti aliasing.

[@Demmrir]

Yeah, I went, "Oh yeah, new ship, cool!" and then SECONDS in remembered why I stopped playing in VR. That is headache-inducing. Even FFXIV managed to implement a weird non-TAA antialiasing (TSCMAA) which doesn't rely on modern rendering techniques. Surely Frontier could do the same. TSCMAA is a publicly-available algorithm published by Intel and there are other alternatives out there too.

So what are they telling us by flying into the atmosphere of that Earth like? Why does the Mandalay had good (thicker?) atmospheric performance called out? And why did Cocijo just pack up shop and head for Sol? I think the next phase of this might bring us landing and colonization on thick atmosphere and Earth like planets.

Wings are useless in space. Actually the best form for a spaceship is a sphere.

[@RajKuMaR64-y3q]

@@erbalumkan369 I meant it in the context of coolness but yes wings are useless in space unless you want to land on a planet. Spherical spaceships are kinda useless for long term spaceflight (unless it's an unmanned cargo ship, because sphere has the largest volume out of all the 3D shapes) since you can't use them to produce gravity. A torus mounted on an axis would be the best shape. Sorry for the rant I feel strongly about the flying wing shape. 😅😅

@@RajKuMaR64-y3q i guess aesthetically a ship with wings looks better to us and like you said, in an athmosphere it does make more sense.

The ship scales were all faked, and its... very apparent in VR after you've been playing SC but there's a lot of giveaways in ships like the anaconda. There's a hallway on the bottom of the ship that's about half the size it needs to be to fit a player character, for example. CIG found out the hard way about this issue. Trying to make usable ship interiors to scale cause a massive increase in ship sizes across the board.

I remember the last time I played this game. I spent two weeks doing an enormous circle of unexplored space, up to the galactic core and back down to the bubble. I landed on a bunch of barren planets along the way too. I made a ton of new discoveries with my name on them, somewhere. I felt like every jump was a risk, because who knew what I'd find. What really enabled me to go to all that effort was the mining, which they ruined. I haven't been back since. I miss this game.

I just hope they don't release any ships that duplicate the functionality of existing ships at their weight class. Like the Anaconda as a multipurpose large, or the Python as a multipurpose medium, both of which do their thing very well. Due to the long, long work required to unlock engineers and get materials, some people have tuned their ships to do exactly what they want, and it would be annoying to get a "your existing ship but so much better" type thing. As other people have said, Frontier has yet to fix or do certain things, and those should be done before making "here is a new ship better than your old ship instead of what you want" things.

Frontier Developments definitely seem to be wrapping up the Thargoid War arc at the moment and I suspect that they're planning a Triple-X arc as the next phase; post-war expansion of Human space, possibly research of alien artefacts and definitely inter-system trading and migration as a major goal for all three major powers. Maybe the next war will be (another) Federation/Empire war with the poor Alliance stuck in the middle but trying to exploit the chaos to their own benefit. Given the number of ships with atmospheric flight surfaces we've been seeing of late, I suspect that dense atmospheric play and possibly class-M/garden worlds becoming actively playable may become a thing. Maybe even space-line development where you own a hub, interstellar ships and intra-system shuttles to take cargo up and down. Politics (keeping all factions either happy or at arms length) would be a part of that.

What I fear is that theses new ships will basicly just become the new "have to get" ship. We should have different ships that fill the exact same role, without a clear "superior" one.
