Found this video after 500 hours, I figure I'm ready for the beginners guide now

[@ralphh796]

LMAO....i bet you are swimming in cash

[@MarekUtd]

I decided to reinstall the game as I watched this video. I stopped the download midway and uninstalled. Great video. Thanks man!!!

[@xeroterragoth1866]

Yeah... there's a certain irony here to doing videos on a game and convincing people not to play the game you're doing the videos for lol not the best business model, but entertaining for sure 😆

[@andrewboeger1792]

I started watching this video to learn how to play and it did the same... he complains so much about so many systems that it has left me asking why I would play this.

[@xeroterragoth1866]

@@andrewboeger1792 well I can confirm after playing the game for quite some time myself, that it's nowhere near as bad as most of the hate-players complain... most criticism of the game boils down to people who have crappy hardware which limits performance and the rest is people who want endgame stuff INSTANTLY then whine because there's a grind or you have to use exploit after exploit to skip past what should be months of exploration, combat, and effort. If you like space games and/or flight sims, this game is a blast - made even better if you find the right squadron to play with (especially with the Thargoid war going on right now). If you're the type to try a game out and move on to the next release before completing even the first run, then this probably won't interest you... there is no ticket to the endgame content here and engineering (which is required for all the super high end hard stuff like AX combat) is a bit of a grind. The rest of the complaints about the "grind" come from people who I don't think have ever played a game with a true grind in it (most survival sandbox games, most MMOs, etc.). Compared to some I've played, this is one of the tamest and easiest "grinds" I've ever seen. Just type in "Legendary Weapon" and look at ANY result for ANY MMO if you doubt me lol I'll spend an hour killing space pirates and watching drones bring loot to me while I watch Netflix over the alternative any day.

[@andrewboeger1792]

@@xeroterragoth1866 I checked out another "beginner's guide" and decided this is worth a try. I've finished a few training bits and am going through the videos now. Excited to give this a try as an MMO veteran :)

[@xeroterragoth1866]

@@andrewboeger1792 sweet :) glad to hear, if you're looking for a good squadron, check out "The Fatherhood" They're a good group of people who have lives and families outside of the game. Maybe not the most hardcore group, but they're huge and have different factions based on what time zone you're in and what your interests are once you get into the game.

[@romanv269]

Yep, i am a newbe in game and was playing during week and one day i realized that game is all about grind, like you may spent 100 hrs and only 10 will be worth it.

I’m a new player and decided to do an on foot data retrieval mission thingy(?) didn’t know how to pull out my weapons on my buggy so I ended up running everyone over to kill them. Most fun I had gaming in a while lmaoo

[@mrexists5400]

10:22 i recommend starting in trappist-1, all planets are within honk range (11 planets and moons), mostly high metal content worlds with rocky moons and an Earth like world. and it's not that far from the starter area

[@Sir-Complains-a-Lot]

Joystick and throttle stick make the game twice as fun, for me at least. Using a good vr headset gives it a completly new dimension...so external input devices are a big factor with this.

[@CaidicusProductions]

I've actually never played Elite outside of VR with a throttle and joystick. As soon as I heard about the Oculus Rift DK1, and Elite Dangerous VR compatibility, I was all in. I got the DK1, then the DK2, then the HTC Vive, and finally a Valve Index. Elite Dangerous was a huge part of the motivation to jump into VR, to "actually" go to space. One of the coolest experiences I've ever had in VR was sitting in the Sidewinder and realizing, as well as feeling the closeness I had to space as the window of the Sidewinder is so close to the pilot. Magical experience.

[@gustavedelior3683]

My occulus meta looks pretty good but the controller is buggy, luckily blue tooth does allow you to use a wireless controller (if your PC has blue tooth)

[@jesseowens1492]

Dude, I bought a simulator set with a reclining chair and mounts for the throttle joystick. Amazing. My next purchase will be base transducers to make the takeoffs and weapons firing realistic. Love it

[@branjosnow6244]

I comondered my sons Valve Index, and can't play the game without it now. Also have the X56 Hotas, the realism is just astounding.

[@heavilyarmedclown3245]

Best VR experience on the market with a HOTAS

[@Mars0War]

I gotta be honest, as a new player I found this very hard to follow and very overwhelming.

[@dailyshadow]

I think this is really written more for people that know the game already.

[@MrHoodlum420]

Best video yet Yamiks! I love your wit, jokes, no bullshit instructions, and unfortunate game truths. Your videos have helped me enjoy the game while bypassing all the BS. Thanks from Hollywood dude!!!

[@SuperDLOC]

I just bought Elite Dangerous yesterday, this is going to be helpful!

[@sinntaxdagreat]

Yamiks when he decides to do it, is one of the best at giving proper scoop

[@HashknightGaming]

Work towards the fleet carrier it's the most useful tool in the game as having a mobile base with lots of storage is always helpful.

[@averagejoe8358]

Same! I started playing No Man's Sky recently, after leaving it for dead for the last two years. Such a good game, so much detail in everything.

[@taymus13]

Im very glad im not the only one feeling the lack of explanation. Also thank you very much for this, I want to enjoy the game, but from randomly exploding due to heat after droping out of warp, trying to figure out if this random planet is what I need to scan for a mission, or seeing tips mentioning checking gravity pulls and going "wait what?" Its quite discouraging

[@drfrankendoodle]

I just spent 3 HOURS trying to complete a basic delivery mission and a basic combat mission. Took me an hr to reach the planet for the delivery without crashing into it. Delivered the package. Figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and so the combat mission since it was “nearby”. Took another 30min to reach the combat planet. A FURTHER 30min to figure out how to orbit around the planet to the side the base was on after crashing into the surface once not realizing it was on the other side. Landed perfectly. Immediately realized my starter pistol was woefully incapable of killing the enemies. Which means I wasted all that time getting there for nothing. Abanadoned the mission, got a 250,000 credit fine. Spent another hr flying back to the starting hub to cash in the delivery mission. That gave me a little over 100k credits. So basically I went 150,000 into debt. I still have a lot to learn about how to make travel less frustrating. I don’t get why the game offered me combat missions j couldn’t possibly complete with the starting gear. Feels like the game set me up for failure. Overall a frustrating first session but I know I still have a lot to learn and hoping this video will help make the travel portion less frustrating. If I could get where I needed to go smoother and more efficiently I wouldn’t be so incredibly annoyed by my lack of success.

[@supergoth-jess3761]

Dude that landing got me 😂😂😂 Like a glove 🤘😎🤣

I just redownloaded the game yesterday and did my first delivery mission today. I feel like if i stay at it i will love the game. Im on ps4 and it runs perfectly.

[@thatrandomguycommenting1261]

Now is the best time to play open play, there's about 15 active players so you can get that real empty space immersion with no interruptions. Make sure you buy it on console as well so you don't have to fuck with the forbidden "update".

His video doesn't even explain how to play is the sad part. He skips stuff like the star map, markers and everything you'd need to navigate the game, like every other youtuber,.

[@mateuszfelisiak480]

@@pembrookewallysnaps60 Well, he said that you should play tutorial mission, and part of it is making a first jump. I just started and I gotta say that the tutorial mission does a somewhat good job on explaining really basic basics :D Im only 5 hours in, but I can see that the first challenge the game sets for new player is to learn the menus and huds, which involves messing around with them a bit. If you dont want to do that, then maybe the game is not for you

[@CMDR_Elizium51RA]

I'm only 30 seconds into this video. I've been playing Elite for a few years, and obviously there are a lot of preferred creators for content and tutorials. I feel like you've taken a lot of shit over the years for being honest and saying what you think. I have so much respect for that, and the fact that you made this video after every other video you have made shows your passion and your care for the genre. This is why I follow you. It's an honest and complete view of the game, regardless of whether it's good or bad. I appreciate your sense of humor and your blatant disregard for what anyone thinks about it. I'm going to enjoy the rest of this video now, thank you for posting it.

[@sammorrow8420]

Thank you to Yamiks for putting in the hard work and time needed to produce such a high quality video. Some say Elite is dying, I disagree. Odyssey was a shit show at launch but I tried it again 1 year after it came out. It has improved alot and I see alot of work went into designing the on foot grind and can be enjoyable for those who already enjoy the grind and rewards from doing so. fyi i got 1 second of fame by being the CMDR who did the infinite loop of shame for Yamiks. He is really cool and down to earth despite being so popular which is rare. -CMDR Jon Targaryen 46

quality channel, thank you!

[@GrimzReapr]

For missions i found that the passenger ones make the most but can sometimes be a bit time consuming but atleast you can scan each system while doing so and make a couple mill each mission not the best but good for new players as all you need is a passenger cabin which isnt to much money to get

[@Tigerai_]

"Do not fly without a rebuy" Best advice, I was flying with my Imperial Courier today, entered a system and got ambushed by Thargoids, escaped but died due to corrosive damage. 700k repairs, thankfully I had 9 millions but I know that if I was a brand new player without enough money to rebuy, I would have been pissed

[@pleasureincontempt3645]

This game was such a timesink. The heyday was pretty fun but only because of the community.

[@DoctyrEvil]

You seem to have omitted the Elite: Dangerous Market Connector (EDMC). This is really important if you want to make the most of third party tools, as it will ensure that the data from your most recently visited locations is updated to the tools. It makes trading, for instance, a lot more fun and a lot easier.

[@TheYamiks]

I never really used that one .. UNDERSTAND that i mentioned the basic most used tools, NOT every SINGLE one!

[@DoctyrEvil]

@@TheYamiks I understand and agree, but without the community support from the data EDMC gathers the other tools wouldn't work at all, so it seems worth a mention in the comments.

And yet another great video! Glad to see your back in promoting the game again, who cares about the legs anyway :). I retired quite a while ago, but now my steam deck is here and I cant believe, though unsupported, I can use the deck to play this game! Who can say no? Fortunately, I still have plenty of credits and numerous engineered ships on my FC. I just need to not only remember the basics of playing this game, I also have to learn how to do this with the controls on the deck - fun times! I will pop in to the VR now and again I'm sure tho - its still by a wide margin the best VR experience on PC.

Yes all you need is a keyboard and mouse... But nothing will compare to playing with a HOTAS setup. I can switch hands with the stick to mess with my keys, all the extra buttons means so much more control. After 24 hours of play time I already nailed manual landings regularly. The saitek x52 that I have was about $200, and this thing is super durable with plug and play ease. For some it may be a waste of money but for me personally, I'd really miss not having it.

Brand new player. At first I thought it was kinda lame how the planets seemed to be static objects that don't do anything, and then I decided to fly straight at one. And then I noticed I was entering orbit. And then I noticed I was entering its "atmosphere" (technically doesn't have one, but still). And then I noticed there's a flight mode. And then I noticed I could engage landing gear and land. And then I noticed I could FUCKING DRIVE AROUND THE SURFACE IN MY CUTE LITTLE ROVER. All of this in VR + HOSAS. I think I found my jam. I might live in this game. Like, just live in it.

haah nice intro & too true, heres my thing atm im downloading it or trying to more like, for hours now the d/l speed has been stuck around 0.50mb/s says the launcher, task manager says its using up to 5 mb/s (thats okay for this type of connection, mi-fi plugged inthe usb) and the frontier program folder is still 147mb, and thanks for the guide which takes some of the sting out of this =D

What are the names of the ships table (on 13:53)

[@rodrirm]

Old player here, one thing I didn't got quite right: Should you choose ED Horizon version and play that, or use Horizon Legacy, or Oddysey (and just forget about on foot missions)? Also, How on earth do you get a ship in oddysey?. One last queston is ED Horizon / Legacy version still getting updates, or only Oddysey ? (With version this or that Im refering about the launcher version button where you can pick which one) Thanks for any amnswer.

[@TheYamiks]

Horizons legazcy is saddly suposed to be killed at some point, even if devs don't say it. HOWEVER horizons legacy is also performs better and has prettirer planets with actual old community "lore". HOWEVER HOWEVER : the "normal" non-legacy version gets all the new updates and changes, while legacy will stay the same...till the day that gets axed.

[@rodrirm]

@@TheYamiks Ok, so one can play Horizon (normal), without using Oddysey and still get the latest updates ?, Is that right? Thank you in advance!

[@TheYamiks]

yes. well.. no new ships or "content", as that will be exclusive for EDO.. you know so that it has "value". BUT i highly recommend against EDO lest you REALLY want that FPS /ship content or athmospheric planet landings, as it simply is not worth otherwise and base game alone is about 95% of the good gameplay anyhow

[@rodrirm]

@@TheYamiks Ok I think I goit it, thank you very much for your answers and time! And your videos!!! Cheers from Argentina... a place long long away not many know it even exist.

[@MikesBasementx]

I have a question regarding the "Explore the Galaxy" missions. Have they been removed, because I cannot seem to find them anywhere?

[@TheYamiks]

If you mean passanger missions telling you to go to really far places... i think they should still be there.. just different stations

[@MikesBasementx]

@@TheYamiks No I am thinking about the first missions you receive, but I guess you answered it in the Odyssey video. It's probably because we don't start in the Newbie area any longer.

[@TheYamiks]

hmmm.. you can choose to start in it or skip it i think. ether way : not that important if missed!

[@sinntaxdagreat]

Sure do miss the helpful videos. Nobody does it better. ❤️

[@sinntaxdagreat]

A laugh along the way don't hurt

[@sinntaxdagreat]

Fak space legs. Just go back to flying your ships.

[@hanswichmann5047]

Hey Yamiks!, speaking of rules, can you explain the dos & don'ts of instancing in open? I was thrown out of a Thargoid pew-pew group for doing things I wasn't even aware of. Basic shit I guess I should know but, It's different in open? Anyway love all your stuff & miss Space Waste News....

[@TheYamiks]

Ummm not sure what situation you're in.. But in OPEN anything goes

[@DarkWraithKevin]

It should be noted that EDDB as of today is finished. I'm sure going forward something will replace it, the fanbase is pretty dedicated for better or worse. With that said, ignore everything in this guide that mentions EDDB but besides that small little detail out of his control I can say that this is a great guide.

I had a Thrustmaster joystick and it was amazing but I gave it to my brother as I prefer using my Xbox series controller and Keyboard combo. You are correct what you said - Elite has some fantastic support for every peripheral imaginable. I am planning on getting one of those Flightstick/throttle combo's because Thrustmaster windows driver installation and customisation is simply annoying and imo having the throttle and the stick be the same device is going to be way simpler. Thrust master's Windows drivers are like being taken back to 1996 - they work but they are not user friendly in any way. I have a Redragon MMO Gaming mouse and even this Chinese knock off company has amazing easy to use drivers that look modern so clearly it's not hard.
