Elite Dangerous Discovery - Below the Galaxy

[@DudeWheresMyCardz]

I've only recently discovered you and this game in fact and you're like the David Attenborough of Elite!

[@benkerry9947]

I've been trying to think of exactly this over the last week.

[@MythicSuns]

though accent wise he sounds more like a whispering Jonathan Ross

[@dritslem4711]

So true.

[@Bronlund2000]

I've been playing ED on PS4 since the release and I I'm already starting to get tired reading posts from people who just wants to complain about that ED is missing content and the missions are repetitive! .. Do most people now a day only expect or demand to be spoon-fed with "Content" continuously ??? There is a lot more than just missions to complete! .. How about a giant Galaxy to explorer out there! .. Just the fun to visit those places where the community have located Thargoid bases! .. The atmosphere those areas bring to the game experience are incredible!! And not to mention the engineers and what they can bring to the game if you decide to try to open up for each one of them + the challenges they can bring you when you want to modify your spaceship trying to figure out where or how to find the resource or component they need for the modification.. or other stuff like trying to locate the voyager satellite! People should stop focusing on only earning credits by completing missions. How about setting your own goals and start enjoying the game instead? Thank you Obsidian for all the great videos you have provided us.. I really have learned a lot by watching them :)

[@darrenkay2293]

Well said the vids are great!! Keep them coming PS4.

[@HanVZulu]

VertigoDK and consider most games only last for a few weeks, but Elite you play for some thousand hours before you hit the point of "seen it all" . by the time you feel you done all, there's a new version coming out. haven't run out of things to do in the past 9 months.

[@0wlowl906]

VertigoDK yeah also join a community and play ed together it is full of activities to do and you can "create" your own story-line this is rhe power of openword games

[@daelra]

It's everyone's right to get bored of a game but why must they be so vocal about it? I've got got bored of many games over the years but I don't feel the need to tell everyone.

[@HanVZulu]

Yup. I got bored of Halo 1, 2, 3... after a couple of weeks. Got bored of Mass Effect after a while too. Never finished 3rd. Only played Andromeda for a few days. Played NMS for weeks, but stopped. Same for all other games, while ED, I put it down a couple of times, but keep on coming back, and put in more hours into it than any other game.

[@boreasreal5911]

i just found a young star cluster with about 50 stars streching over about 10 lightyears, all of them young blue stars inside a beautifull nebula

[@Kotecek15]

Location name?

[@FlammeNoel]

eagle nebula probably

[@whylekat]

boreas real Whereee?

[@AynOtori]

boreas real Yeah most of them have my name on it

[@KGAnims]

Probably NGC 7822...

[@flynnandgigi]

A couple of weeks ago I went 2,000 ly below Colonia (I believe it's Troa Flyou TU-O e6-3) and there was almost no stars in the sky, making the galaxy look even more stunning. Also, there's a megaship in Colonia (Foster Terminal, Coeus) and it's dockable.

[@TreyAscetic]

It's so funny that last night while on my way to Colonia for a passenger mission, I was wondering what it would look like above or below the galactic plane, and I looked it up and couldn't find anything worth while on it. So I just binged your videos while jumping around and then subbed and went to sleep. I woke up and you released a video about it within five minutes of me waking up. Love your videos man, great minds think alike haha

[@TreyAscetic]

By jumping around I mean in game system jumping hahaha

[@danieljones8706]

I'll only be impressed if Frontier let's me use black holes to enter a tesseract made of time itself. #Interstellar

[@Shadow77999]

Chris S wuh

[@danieljones8706]

I was joking around, but it'd be interesting. If I had to add anything to Elite, it would be more features for bounty hunting and multiplayer interactions.

[@theBlankScroll]

Murph? MUUUURRRPH!?

[@Crimson-Iden]

... - .- -.--

[@lovercraft11]

I'm from Brazil and I like so much of your videos about elite dangerous! I see them with legends. Keep on and fly safe!

[@danijelsimic58]

i can close the game and watch your videos all day... and night... beutifull :)

[@deception225]

I love the fact that most of your videos are in 21:9. Some of the few videos I can watch full screen.

[@frankieb9444]

I thought a combat Conda would be my end game but finding more interest in an exploration build.

[@rclines001]

I just started 4 weeks ago, and made a 80 jump small loop and was the first to discover several systems, and it's July 2020. Late to the game and it's easy to find unexplored systems still. Love how crazy big this game is. Since I started exploring, combat has been put on indefinite hold.

[@frankieb9444]

@@rclines001 Damn, I felt a bit obligated to replay since you commented on something I posted 3 years ago. I'm glad your enjoying it in the way I did. Every six months since then my Conda beacons me to fly her again but I'm way too busy to jump into that rabbit hole again. If you ever find yourself in a pickle hopefully the Rats are still out there flying.

[@polygondon]

To quote Scott Manley, fly safe!

[@Shadow77999]

Lol

[@megismies1015]

Every time I see a vid fron ObsidianAnt about the wonders he discovers out in the darkness of space,I just wanna jump into my Diamondback Explorer,charge my FSD and see where that journey takes me.

[@Faza1908]

Hey Obsidian, I recently found system with 2 black holes and bit further in same system two neutron stars really close to each other . System is called EUMOGY EG-Y G368. I highly suggest you to visit this place if you will be in its neighbourhood . Some rather spectacular sights there :). If you want some screenshots contact me somehow . Fly safe , peace

[@mathiasrryba]

Faza1908 weirdest system I've found was 1 type O star, 6 dwarfs of many varieties and 2 black holes in 1 system. 1 black hole was like 50 ls from type O star

[@javiercuesta2433]

Found a similar system, forgot the name but it had 2 neutron stars, 1 tourist beacon near one of the stars tails and near 1 black hole, the system has 2 black holes. Found it on my way to colonia and then beagle point

[@cmdrverminus7585]

Inspiring discoveries! That orbiting moon system looks very special... Nice shots, and compositions..again.

[@noahjordan3134]

Wow spectacular! I enjoy the mind blow of the black hole.

[@mainedingo6982]

That fact your voice is as calm and cool as the game makes your content very enjoyable!

[@coltonkline5570]

I'm digging the exploration series. Great channel and quality content.

[@Zer0axis]

One thing that I do when I'm jumping into a neutron or BH system is actually throttling down whilst in hyperspace, so that you slow right down to 30km/s as soon as you jump in, reducing the risk of accidentally crashing into the star.

[@gums79]

Mate I love your videos keep up the good work. I'm new player on ps4 and you have helped me alot... 🍻

[@CONTINGENCY_sys]

Think two magnets not able to touch. if their polar core is just right they lock and cant move in any direction but exactly with each other. Eventually they may increase rotation but if comparable mass and size they remain constant. I've found some close with equal mass and those without. Those with remain, those without usually one wins that battle. love all that you do. I always trace event locations from star activity and venture back. Im still in my combat ASP MKII out here, gearing up for more adventure.

[@cmdrlargemarge7698]

There is something so relaxing about exploring elite there isn't really anything to get mad about which is nice cause I came from rocket league and that game is a tiltfest

[@DAGATHire]

i came across a binary star system that had 2 stars so close together their fuel scoop zone intersected. Very nearly lost my ship to overheating. But it was a spectacular sight all the same.

[@alexmini123]

you're like a national geographic narrator but about space and its fucking awesome.

[@Funnygalsproductions]

Reminds me when I was going to the center. Had no shields the whole trip to make large jumps . Made it there with 32 %

[@micmacmoc]

Brilliant! As informative and excellent as ever Ant, fly Safe mate....commander MICMACMOC of the 'nampara brewery' beer freighter signing off....o7

[@Sechmut]

I think some of the dangers that should be mentioned is very close binary star systems. On several occasions on my way to Colonia, I dropped into a system right in the middle of 2 stars and they started to cook my ship. So a full stop, coming into a system is not always the best option.

[@Assimilator1]

Agreed, & this is far more dangerous than running into the jet cone of a Neutron star, which is pretty safe TBH, bar a few % module damage. Also I find running into the jet cone of a white dwarf far more dangerous, destroyed my FDL once with these & severely damaged my Python once too! I'm not going to boost from WDs anymore! :p

[@Sechmut]

I never had issues using neutron stars. If you go further out with the star to your back and slowly dip into the cone while going on full break - the gravitational stream will just carry you outwards till you are supercharged and you can accelerate without any issues. Been doing that for countless of stars on my way to the core. But those drops out of the jump right between stars is scary. One time the animation actually showed me going through the star and stopping right behind the exclusion zone of the first one while facing the second star in front of me.

[@TreyAscetic]

Sechmut yeah I've on multiple occasion actually yelled due to being frightened when dropping into close-proximity binary star systems. Something that screws me over though is when I drop into a brown dwarf (those purple dying stars that are basically glorified gas giants) system, I pass by it to jump to the next system and hit the exclusion zone because the zone is larger than you'd think looking at the star.

[@Ueberdoziz]

I have on multiple occasions jumped through Brown dwarfs. those are pants changing exeriences.

[@darrenkay2293]

Great video great game keep the vids coming!!!thanx alot ant.

[@zealwarriorgaming5315]

I haven't done a lot of exploring, but i discovered my first 2 planets, 2 ice worlds orbiting a M class star and the system isn't far from the political bubble , I was so proud of my self

[@mathiasrryba]

Zeal warrior Gaming sorry for breaking your achievement but there are thousands of undiscovered planets 1-2k ly from the bubble. Even Water Worlds. I want to find my own earth like world

[@mr.awesome7869]

Zeal warrior Gaming Gj on your achievement, you should aim for the distant systems in the galaxy next

[@zealwarriorgaming5315]

mathiasrryba, I do know that but I was my first, plus I discovered it while going on my first expedition to Mammon star system

[@zealwarriorgaming5315]

Mr. Awesome, thanks

[@zealwarriorgaming5315]

The 2 planets are called COL 359 SECTOR SV-X b30-7 A1 and COL 359 SECTOR SV-X b30-7 A2

[@ericr154]

I would say white dwarves are a lot more dangerous than neutrons. The exclusion zone is huge and tricky to navigate. I once got thrown into the exclusion zone by the jet stream because I was too close when I approached. Needless to say you don't want to by stuck in an exclusion zone with an angry particle beam frying your ship to a crisp.

[@NFawc]

Fingers crossed in 2.4 / 3.0 we get a bucket load of new visual elements and things to encounter/witness while exploring. Common envelopes. Accretion disks. Aurora borealis. Comets. Massive geysers (km high). Electrical storms. Not to mention ideally (lifeless) planetary surface improvements with liquids, atmospheres and caves? And ideally some more involved exploration gameplay. At the very least exploration drones to manage and send off to go into orbit around objects and scan them and send video footage back etc. This sort of stuff would actually bring me back to exploration again...

[@mr.awesome7869]

Neil Fawcett I think the atmospheric aspects are far from being implemented, and those other features you mentioned would take quite some time for the devs to create, but we will definitely get some story in 2.4 since it's about the thargoids

[@mr.awesome7869]

Neil Fawcett But i think you maybe right about 3.0 though

[@Keln02]

That parting shot...Really makes you feel tiny...

[@generic_4938]

It would be cool to see some planets ripping each other apart

[@wSeeDw]

Or black hole "eating" a star. Sometimes they are ridiculously close to each other.

[@helios7170]

Careful out there commander!

[@squalltheonly]

They should add wormholes. They have a 1% chance of spawning when you jump into a system that has no other players in it, then if you head thru it you get teleported to a random system in a 1000ly radius.

[@GDI-disc-accepted]

thanks bud,keep them flowing

[@tomekc1113]

Amazing series

[@craiga8952]

Any advice for my upcoming epic journey? Lovin the videos Im workin my way through em all!

[@swolelordnito2233]

11,000 Light years away from Sag A going from Colonia. My first trip to Sag A even though I've been playing Since the Preview on Xbox One.

[@whylekat]

I went to the closest "Dark" sector last night. Wasn't much to see out there unfortunately. Can someone please suggest a better place to visit/explore? Thanks!

[@LunchboxGaming]

I've been to 13,540 systems... 31,282 lvl 3 scans... It's all pretty much the same... Different amounts of dull planets, but about half are standard beige lumps now. I found that the only thing different about going low, or high is that there are fewer stars. So there it is... the most you have to look forward to... is less.

[@mathiasrryba]

whylekat ngc7822 i think it was called. Obsidianant made a video about it. It was my 1st destination and wasn't dissapointed.

[@evnf]

HIP 38064, Veil Nebula, Betelgeuse, Mitterand Hollow in Epsilon Indi, Sagittarius A

[@riotx4202]

40% !!! Wow would I be stressed out. Good luck Obsidianant Great vid as always o7

[@HanVZulu]

Funny, I love potato planets too. I wonder where the smallest is so far in the ED galaxy?

[@cangaroojack]

Great video,as always ! A thing i was wondering during my exploration trips,is how can you tell the distance from a moon to his parent planet,to find view like those twin potato worlds? I always go to check them my self,since in the sys map the distance is in AU,witch is a unit of measurement too big to matter!

[@dans2ndxbox360]

Good stuff!! Keep on explaining

[@hamokamo]

I'm confident that the biggest star in game at the minute is VY Canis Majoris? It would be UY Scuti but they've yet to add the system in.

[@samueldw62]

MetalGamer You are correct, it's the largest, as when game was developed, the diameter of UY Scuti or NML Cygni hadn't been measured. VY Canis Majoris has a radius almost of 1420 solar radius, or 990,000,000km

[@yurtttttt96]

Samuel Durrant-Walker UY Scuti's solar radius has been mapped but astronomers are still debating the actual distance.

[@ancientnpc]

Awesome vids

[@danielreilly7413]

Awesome vid, thanks!

[@DuckDoesGaming]

Truly amazing

[@rauljuarez9452]

isn't that neutron star spin incredibly slow?

[@jaxromusic4836]

Obsidian ant, I have just been doing missions and collecting credits what else can I do?

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

Jaxro Music Jesus Christ, 2 years and nothing

[@Usumgallu]

Too bad the gravitational lensing does not affect nearby planets or stars. Just found a system where a star and black hole orbited very, very close together.

[@wolfjester44]

I have seen systems with 5 stars in very close proximity.

[@williamjenkins7612]

mentions Betelgeuse when i'm literally exploring the system now.

[@riyokar6159]

I saw it in VR and the size made me so scared

[@ryanjohnson5246]

Alpha Centauri is also a trinary system

[@Dylnsgames]

How do eclipses caused by moons and such look in this game? I'm not sure if you've done a video focusing on them but it might be something interesting to keep an eye out for on your journey ;)

[@royalkina]

God damnit how this game is beautiful!!!! I'm so mad i didn't bought it when i could :(

[@FlammeNoel]

you have to keep in mind it takes weeks and weeks before you can reach places like that, after getting a ship for exploration too, that can be quite long and expensive

[@Shadow77999]

Interesting vid..

[@neokoga]

I'm far from an expert but if the masses of the two objects were low enough and outside factors weren't pushing them then it could be possible I'd think

[@mainedingo6982]

Are you able to talk to players rather than using text if they are close to you in the game? I know wings and crews you can but i didn't know if a proximity chat was available also?

[@cmdrflint9115]

What gfx mod are you using Obsidian? Or is it just my phone screen making the game look different??

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

What do your characters eat on these trips?

[@siRrk1337]

we all looking forward to a great many things tho

[@Anthua]

Sun : Hey earth ! Earth : hi there sun Sun : daddy ? ...

[@gomerpile5708]

U sure u can pilot a craft through a dense proton stream ? Wouldn't you have to produce a strong magnetic field to counter the stream ? The onboard electronics would fry . like flying through the strongest solar flares imaginable times 1 trillion ?

[@monks311]

what happens when you discover a uncharted system? an you mine it for resources and profit? so far I get profit by just doing missions and bounty hits. I have it for the PS4

[@AnIllinoisan]

Rudy Flores When you scan a system that has undiscovered bodies in it, the scan data is stored on your ship's computer. You can then go to a station or outpost and sell that data to Universal Cartographics. The data from an exploration run can really add up. Some individual bodies like Earth-Like planets can net you 50,000+ credits for scanning them with a detailed surface scanner. I remember on my first expedition to Maia I made well over a million credits in exploration data and I wasn't even trying to explore the systems I came across.

[@ellishewins1931]

2:52, when you said LHS 3447, I think you meant LHS 142. Beautiful video once again though!

[@YuSoMadBra]

Neutron stars aren't that difficult at all. Exclusion zone is still pretty small. Those white dwarfs on the other hand are a piece. Huge exclusion zones and tiny tails.

[@blendyyyboy4616]

hey obsidian ant, i found a planet a while ago, orbiting so close it was insane, like you look at the horizon and your see the planet right infront of you, i thought that it was not that rare but i see you are saying it is, i wish i could get the system name -_-

[@zombieshuffle2680]

I managed to find a system with 5 stars. surprised the hell out of me

[@dylanf7990]

5 stars isn't alot 😂

Hi. Anyone know why I've lost my pointer on the galaxy map. I can't highlight anything. Thanks for any advice in fixing this issue. Ps4

[@mr.awesome7869]

El_Cazador. Z I think it was some server issues, because my game started glitching with bugs similar to yours and I've even been disconnected from the game several times due to server errors and my internet was fine

[@projmig]

Do you know if you can get to all those places on the Xbox One version?

[@evnf]

All platforms have the same places

[@EricMalette]

What drives me nuts about this game is the way it renders starfields in square chunks when you get closer to the core. It's a real dealbreaker for me.

[@RudalPL]

everyone keeps talking about those Auto Field Repair Unit and I can't bloody find one anywhere :/ Where the hell do you get them from?

[@TrueStrike]

Go into your outfitting screen and it should be in optional internal under AFMS it all depends if the station has any in, the higher the number on it the bigger the unit is and thus more repairs it can do.

[@RudalPL]

heh.... I must have been blind the whole time.... Thanks :D o7

a system with 3 or more stars is called a multiple star system, sorry i couldnt stop myself from commenting.
