Elite ship scale 3.0

[@drak1559]

Lets be honest the banana is clearly the superior ship

[@covertyankee]

Using the Elite Dangerous ship names formula a banana would be a Yellow Snake.

with a mass of 100 grams, its extremely lightweight, maneuverable, and its jump range is about as far as you can throw it.

[@hunternelson3018]

Asp “scout” The size of a 747

[@gilmoreja]

I like that you included reference objects from real life in this one. The Type-9 compared to the ISS really drove home to me how massive these ships are...

[@connorwalters3240]

James Gilmore The scale truly baffled me! I knew they were big, but it really surprised me to learn that my "small and nimble" dogfighting ship was larger than a gosh darn passenger plane!

[@natalie6811]

Connor Walters Which one is your dogfighting ship?

[@connorwalters3240]

Jedinate6 Asp Explorer, but in all seriousness, it's more of a multi purpose.

[@connorwalters3240]

Jedinate6 Probably should put dogfighting in quotations.

[@natalie6811]

Connor Walters And my railgun- happy always overheating chieftain is the same size as well. I didn’t expect it to be the size of a fer-de-lance, and truthfully expected it to be smaller overall.

[@Ahourigan]

Someone should tell the ED wiki, they say the Courier is barely larger than the Sidewinder LOL

[@twosuperdorks]

you should do a science video on elite. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

[@Ahourigan]

Oh cool you know who I am. HI!

[@twosuperdorks]

Austin Hourigan ya man I've been watching you sense shoddycast. I even saw some of your streams. Keep up the great work your videos are AWESOME!

[@nanhat753]

no it says its barely heavier

[@Ahourigan]

You know you could have just looked it up before posting, it literally says, right now, and I quote, "It is one of the smallest ships available, barely larger than the Sidewinder Mk I."

[@razorfett147]

The cockpit/canopy designs of many of these ships are waaay oversized. Its basically like mounting a single chair in the middle of a 10m diameter glass bubble. It doesnt match up very well with how the cockpits are sized from the interior view....almost like Frontier initially intended for these ships to be much smaller than what they ended up being

[@mapleicecream4819]

The cockpit interiors *do* match the exteriors. They're absolutely, unreasonably huge. It took me a while to realize this, because I wasn't expecting such huge cockpits, but your dashboard is a couple of metres in front of you.

[@ellorygrundlebunsthe3rd994]

razorfett147 And if u can, hop into vr. It really puts things into perspective. But ur right, scale-wise they make no sense at all lol

[@Asghaad]

anything above eagledoesnt have cockpit but a BRIDGE, they are designed to be used by several people and they allow those people to walk around the bridge ...

[@PiTdeLyX]

Exactly the same for me, i never felt like flying a huge ship, especially in a Type9/10 or Conda and my ASP E really doesn't feel or behave like a huge Plane It really doesn't feel like beeing in a huge ship when playing on a normal monitor. I guess i need VR soon

[@ch3apjoe]

Aww man thats why i love the type6 and the rest of the lakon designs in VR. No other ships give you a view from below.

[@Kaptainator]

You can never really appreciate the pure scale of this game until you watch one of these videos. Thanks for your hard work!

[@tonyfleming3118]

Thank you Sir for your time and efforts, big smile!

[@alexhall8310]

I really like this format then the other one.

[@g0lanu]

Great effort, one of the best ship-scale videos out there. Kudos to Elite's devs and designers for these amazing ship profiles...

[@thanksfernuthin]

There's something to be said for doing something excellent. You set out to show the different sizes and did an excellent job!

[@j.r.havener4048]

Still waiting on delivery of my Sammarco Industries Space Loach to LHS 3447 Yaping Enterprise. I've already got reinforced seam stitching ready to install - so pumped.

[@Frank_G_Finster]

Very good! And back to the old format. :) - Thank you very much!

[@cmdrpausanias2332]

Absolutely brilliant video, I’ve loved these since you put the first one out, thanks for your effort on this. Brilliantly choreographed to the music too.

[@Archiul]

I love that type 9 is roughly the size of ISS. The similarities don't end there. It handles like how I imagine a fucking space station from 2000's might handle.

[@CrichtonNo5]

I was literally watching the last vid two days ago wishing there was an updated one, and then this! Great time mate

[@lemmonsinmyeyes]

Its fun to see how the ship design matches the corp logos... US, Russian, Saudi, European. Very cool

[@alfagarage116]

What an OUTSTANDING vid ... Great work!

[@luker1078]

Be sure to add the Challenger, Krait, and Panther in your next size comparison when they are released.

[@ronaldli5]

I never realized the ships were these big in-game when you put the little pilot next to each ship.. They always felt tiny. Like.. 1:50 in and I'm like "wow Adder is huge.. yet they're like little cockroach shits when you blow them up in space.." Also the little snek at the start is so cute omg.

[@kaeto]

Next time you do one of these, it'd be great to see a zoom in to a sidewinder with a pilot next to it in the mail slot.

[@midgetcooker5000]

the shear scale of these beasts really hits home with the IRL comparisons, can't wait to be able to stand up and walk around my keelback or even what i assumed was a small cobra mk. III

[@VeggyZ]

Ahh I didn't actually realize that the Beluga was the largest flyable ship, but I think that explains quite a bit, like getting snagged on the freaking station openings everywhere I go, and hitting every ship that comes within a football field of me. I guess that's to be expected of a cruise ship.

[@Catboy_Riku]

Dude this was great! Thanks for making it it. Loved to space loach wiggle away at the end haha

[@astrocat3299]

Meanwhile I thought my glorious Imperial Clipper was about the size of a passenger jet. It's actually the size of a small space station. The amount of times I got stuck in the mail slot now all make sense.

[@bradleymcquade]

Fact: before the Guardians update and with it Ship-Launched Fighters the Anaconda said in its description that it could have a hanger bay large enough to hold a sidewinder.

[@Ueberdoziz]

yep. still waiting on that.

[@throwaway4827]

You should compare the Federal Corvette model to a model of a US Navy Super-carrier. Would be nice to see that.

[@joelmulder]

The windows on those ships look ridiculously huge

[@controlfreaks8392]

You should make a new one with the carriers. Would be cool to see the size comparison of the Capitol ships beside the carrier variations

[@Windrake101]

I wonder how large the Huge Class of ships will look size-wise. Imp Explorer, Boe MK3, Narwal Liner, and Panther Clipper.

[@margotrosendorn6371]

I never realized the space shuttle was so cramped and tiny...

[@hschan5976]

The hauler and the adder are basically space shuttles

Yall are gonna make me wanna buy this game.

[@ChessArmyCommander]

I have the Krait MK 2 and its awesome.

[@sirenia755]

this vid shows how big the ships are with the pilot sitting in his seat.

[@AMaleAlicorn]

I'd be curios to see the station scaled against something like long Island New York or something of similar recognizability. it's hard to get a good picture of scale once something is dozens of aircraft carriers long.

[@eckee]

3.3 please, that’s awesome

[@billradloff1919]

Great video! I kinda wish that you'd added the Basilisk and Medusa variants in as well though, I think they're bigger than the Cyclops (esp. the Medusa..those things are massive).

[@awesome_by_default]

I would have put the carrier next to one of the four largest players ships, the Anaconda, federal corvette, imperial cutter, or beluga liner. Still great video.

[@supike-ml4ul]

Thank you for a wonderful video Congratulations on yourself

[@rubenandeweg2173]

nice to know how big they are.... but the real question remains... where can one adopt a space loach?

[@mortyjr2334]

Eve online has actual capital ships you can fly, their ships also makes elite's look tiny in comparison. Actually every other space sim besides elite has capital ships you can fly.

[@vizionthing]

What other space sims are you talking about, also - you dont fly anything in Eve you get to orbit your selection - lool

[@mortyjr2334]

vizionthing Double click in space and your ship goes in that direction lul.

[@vizionthing]

I have five Eve accounts .... and a few billion isk if I ever want to return, completing level 4 missions in a (or rather few) Rifters was much fun

[@TamrenStarshadow]

Awesome work! If you don't mind the suggestion, for version 4.0 maybe you could add some scale models for weapon hardpoints and landing pads as well.

[@shocks6025]

Imma be an aerospace engineer. One day I’ll make ships as seen here possible

I've just started playing this game. 5 hours currently. Buzzy life. Have not managed to earn a single score from mission. Learning how to scoop fuel has helped tremendously and I'm sure I'll start earning soon. This video is really well made and it's great to see where you start out and where you can get to with loads of money. Is there a millennium falcon cockpit design.. that should be great as a mod

[@dreadlist1711]

There is more ships, two of them look like the falcon. But these are outdated

@@dreadlist1711 I've started earning money now.. how much do new ships cost and where do I buy.. I've not investigated other than asking you now

[@fastdak25]

The Nutcracker music is a bit random, though surprisingly fitting with the video. Waltz of the Starships?

[@preferredimage]

I've used classical music in all the ship scale videos. Some like Blue Danube were used in game (Elite Dangerous or the original games) some tunes like this, just because they are in keeping with the style of music.

[@rogerwilcojr]

Love your vids. What I'd really like to see is a human compared to the a station, particularly those "windows" that are all over the place, if they are windows (not in model though). So instead maybe the Empire State Building or CNN Tower or Big Ben etc. compared to those "building" on the exterior of a Coriolis station. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how big things are in ED.

[@noname_899]

[@sirduck8624]

I really hope that we pilots could walk around in our ships ,,,even in the station? But I know that will never be happen for FD again delayed the update...

[@petezzzz]

Thx. Do a 3.1 with the Krait MKII!

[@relicvault1515]

I'd like to see a corolis station

[@SininNeon]

Watching this video just drives home the fact that the pilot seems to scale (in the game) to the size of the ship... because you can tell from the external camera :/

[@preferredimage]

You might want to check that again. The pilots and seats don't scale with the ship. Go check how big the pilot is in a T9 (notice there are two decks in the cockpit) no compare it to a sidewinder.....

[@ARWINGx1]

3:10 My favorite ship :)

[@hatorlethos8623]

Fantastic video...o7 Cmdr!

[@DmytroBogdan]

Of course Fdevs aren't mind of your videos because they don't have good ingame scale comparison (exception is SRV driving around ships). Maybe when space legs come out we finally can see our ships in full glory! p.s. I wish someone produce 3D printed models, I'd definitely buy a Clipper one :)

[@edwardpattijn7039]

@Mat Recardo how did you get the models for the capital ships and the station? i've figured out how to do the pilotable ships, but not other stuff. i'd like to 3d print a farragut

[@preferredimage]

Same method, it just comes out as LOTS of little bits you have to stitch together. the Orbis station was heavily rebuilt from scratch too.

[@edwardpattijn7039]

i'm assuming it's the ninjaripper method. how do you identify the parts you need? do you maybe have some documentation that explains your method?

[@preferredimage]

Not quite as that stopped working years ago with modern games but you end up with about 8000 chunks and you have to pick through them, make bigger chunks, and in the case of the orbis, I had one 16th of a rotation of the main ball and had to clone and rotate the rest myself. a lot of the back section is just my own geometry. The insides of the Farragut are also just filler bits.

[@edwardpattijn7039]

if not ninjaripper, what software do you use?

[@edwardpattijn7039]

are you for any reason unwilling to share the name of the software you used?

[@oliverworley5162]

So the Beluga, a ship spcifically built for passengers, and which is hugely bigger than a 20th century 747 can o ly carry a fraction of the passengers it could carry. Economy class in elite must be equivelant to flying first or business.

[@beastboy8624]

Speaking of first class, I'm at I sola prospect in the brestla system, but it won't sell me a first class cabin. Anyone know what's going on?(I sola prospect is a planetary base which sells you every ship and module in the game, if you didn't know)

[@MatchBreakers]

They only come in size 4 and up, so you might be trying to put it in too small a slot, thats the only explanation i can think off.

Great video man! Love the real life scales next to it. Gives a really nice sense of scale.

[@touge242]

E:D must've modeled the ships in current human scales, and scaled everything up by 10. The Diamondback cockpit for example should be the size of an Apache helicopter. No wonder there is no sense of scale to the game, what should be tiny single seat planes are actually the size of airliners.

[@UriMegaConnor]

You're forgetting that engines and frame shift drives are absolutely massive. The seats are normal sized, its just that theres so much other important stuff in the ship theres basically no room.

[@AksenowtCc]

@@UriMegaConnor true, but the Diamondback cockpit is really out of scale, it's huge compared to the pilot, and I had never noticed that

BRAVO! *clapclapclap* IMHO with each iteration this video is getting better and better! The textured version of the ships for 2.4 with the landing pads were an interesting experiment, but I favor these clean grey visuals much more to illustrate the sizes. Also...a VERY nice idea to include the RL references as fast fade-ins and also to add some extra Sideys. ....and BTW, how legit is that Thargoid interpretation? ;-)

[@grasshopperzx2]

Agree completely. Another great installment :thumbsup:

[@edstretton2214]

It would be cool to have something as big as the Orbis Station to compare to. Just a thought - Manhattan Island is 21.6km long and 3.7km wide so 3 stations would fit on it with a tiny bit of room to demonstrate the edges of the island. What do people think?
