Question, Is this Elite a modern version of the game I used to play on my BBC Micro back in the early eighties? I haven't really followed games since back then, but its cool to know the legacy of those days is still a thing.

[@scottmanley]

Yes, it’s by David Braben, one of the original developers, and it has the same ships

[@DavidBASTIENFR]

Yes it is! Done by the same guy: David Braben

[@RGChandler]

@@scottmanley Cool. I haven't played Elite since around 1985 or so, I might have to give it another go.

[@MikaelLevoniemi]

@@RGChandler Welcome. It's easy to start, but the universe is larger and more complex than the original. Go in blind for the wow effect and then check out a tutorial or two from youtube. To get really into it, i'd recommend a good joystick with a throttle.

[@s4ss1n]

it is of course more epic than the original and can at times seem overwhelming. if you dont have time to play what id class as a virtual reality space game then you can also try Oolite, created by fans of the original elite, and you can reminisce the old style for free at www.oolite.org/ (i play both as i have too much time these days) ;)

[@PaulLemars01]

It's not really a game. It's more of a space simulator set a thousand years from now. There is no real goal other than to live a life in this universe. As many people have said it's a vast game but it's only a foot deep and that's true. If you are looking for a traditional game with goals and progression you will be frustrated but if you can make up your own fantasy and your own direction it's an amazing place to hang out. Also it is the number one reason to buy a rift or a vive. In VR this looks stunning and the immersion can be scary. Don't believe me? just drop out on a neutron star too close and at speed or run out of fuel in deep space. There's no dropping back to your last save. Lose your ship and you've got to buy a replacement with the insurance policy. You will lose all your cargo and if you don't have the money too bad, you'll permanently lose your ship. People either love ED or hate it. I'm very firmly in the former camp. Oh yeah if you do get involved with ED get a HOTAS immediately.

[@therealstubot]

Ugh. Charon... Theres a crashed ship on Charon, that is an absolute beast to get to. It's way up in the mountains, the closest I could park my cutter was 6km away, and took an hour to find a spot to land. Then the terrain is so ridiculously shaped it took 45 minutes to drive to the site. Got some goodies then it took another hour to find a place to recall my ship where I could get the SRV back into it. If you go after that crashed ship, take the smallest ship you can fit an SRV in. You may be able to land within a click and not have to struggle through mountain range after mountain range to get to it.

[@rubenleal4821]

This ship you're flying made me think: How do TV ships like the Enterprise, it the Mellinieum Falcon stop, or even slow down, if they never turn backwards. Dropping out of warp would imply that there's some kind of energetic atmosphere out in space that stops them if they don't continually expend energy.

[@p_serdiuk]

Space operas and space westerns have space as a metaphor for the sea, with space fighters being a metaphor for early airplanes, so space in them behaves as a kind of a hybrid of water and air.

[@tarnvedra9952]

Star Trek´s warp drive does not move the ship it moves the space around it, there is no speed, no acceleration or inertia in Newtonian sense. I does not violate any know laws of physics, but is estimated to require power equivalent to Sun´s output. :-(

[@DanSlotea]

Maybe you should learn to differentiate Science from Fiction in a TV Science-Fiction show and don't ask silly questions?

[@Roxfox]

Simple! A warp drive doesn't make a ship go super duper fast, it makes the space in front of the ship shorter so it can cross more of it in the same amount of time! Hence "warp". Dropping out of warp just means returning the ship's relation to space back to normal, resulting in an apparent and sudden loss of speed.

Even out of frameshift, which is basically the game's FTL system, you can pull so many Gs by simply pressing the boost button. A fully decked out Imperial Cutter can pull something like 13 Gs just by boosting forward, it's insane. It's actually 8 times as powerful as the Saturn V.

Hey Scott, you know how it's so damned hard to find the Voyager probes in the current game unless you know exactly where to look? You can find them with the new scanning mechanics that're in the beta build. I think you'll get a kick out of the new exploration stuff. Fly safe! o7

Why is voyager not moving? it is moving like 60K MPH!

[@scottmanley]

And I’ve matched speeds with it.

[@jamesbarnette4350]

Hud says zero for speed. Just saying! anyway love your work! keep it up!

[@dhyde2025]

Do you still play this game?

[@Inimbrium]

5:11 That's Romanian. Also, how cool does the Cruiser look next to Voyager. It looks like an alien spaceship. Very cool. Who knows, maybe one that someone, or something will find it.

[@eviscerations]

i don't think o'neill cylinders can only exist in a video game, as you state around the 8ish minute mark - we just lack the technology to build them right now.

If only KSP was this polished

inb4 conspiracy nuts use this to say "NASA ARE JUST HELPING RUN THE SIMULATION!!" I mean....we could be living a simulation for all we know

[@namewarvergeben]

Here you are, referencing the nuts before even the nuts get around to it. You must be thinking of them a lot.

[@Redsauce101]

The NSA are controlling the minds of everyone; so that no one believes in government conspiracies. I know this for a fact because John Nash told me so.

[@dzejrid]

Funny I recently watched Isaac Arthur's video on simulation hypothesis... I recommend his channel, lots of very interesting stuff about universe and future of space exploration.

[@S.ASmith]

I indeed watch Isaac too. John Godier is alright too, but I prefere longer form videos personally. Namewarvergeben - It's called a joke. You clearly didn't get it.
