Maybe without the goal posts? Is there a running track around it? If so he might be able to squeeze it in. The landing gear footprint would certainly be within the boundaries!

Kerbal AirForce You could probably squeeze it in if you removed the goal posts and fences, but the football and track coach would have my *ass* for the divots it would leave in his field.

Leave the posts there, the Anaconda would just squish them on landing. A bigger problem would be ground pressure and the Anaconda's landing gear sinking into the earth.

Probably not. The gear has to be able to land in a variety of terrain on an infinite number of planets. The ground on many of them has to be softer than a football field, and some even have higher gravity. Future space voodoo tech.

Kerbal AirForce High surface area is the equivalent of future space voodoo tech. The Anaconda's gear pads have the surface area of small helipads. It should be more than enough to distribute the weight of the 1,200 tonne ship, leaving nothing more than flattened grass and about an inch of sunken dirt.

9gag standard unit!

WisewolfOfAvalon Oh, you.

Definitely Cavendish. Gros Michelle would have been slightly differently curved and wider.

Banana for scale

cant go wrong with a banana for scale

Look at some of the Bengal carrier walk throughs from leaked Star Citizen content. The bridge in that thing is 3 stories tall, plus a traffic control tower as a fourth story. Hence why some of the 'cockpits' look so huge.

Yeah, but the bridge at the Bengal carrier does look like it's three stories high, as there are three stories inside and numerous posts for people operating it. It is in fact a proper bridge. But some of these ships in E:D look like they have a bubble cockpit for a single pilot, but in this correct scale should be three stories high as well :D

tl;dr Bengal carrier does look big, as it is in fact big. E:D ships look small (mostly like fighters), even though they wouldn't fit in a football stadium

many of those ships have multi crew cockpits. It starts with the Cobra Mark III, for 2 people next to eachother.

Because it is made for several crew-members. An expansion pack in the future will allow your friends to sit in the same spaceship as you.

I wish it had a storyline. More people would play it. At the moment... You're a new player, you're amazed how awesome this game is, specially if you have a HOTAS and within a week you're so fucking bored of this game that you have forgotten it by the next week.

sirius4k If you feel games must have story lines then Elite is not for you. This game is very faithful to the concept of the C64 original. That game in it's time was considered the greatest ever written. Had no storyline

More, if you feel a game needs to *feed you* the story as it plays out, E:D isn't for you. There's stories abound in E:D, some with the players on the fringes, some that the players are driving, some between players that you'll never see or hear tell of, some deliberately being nudged along by Frontier (with mixed opinions from the players involved in those at times), and some that shift and change the balance in entire systems that haven't had a player in them in three RL weeks. E:D isn't a linear game with a story that'll reach some majestic "ending" (until they take the servers down). It's also not a game that coddles the "I always have to have an increasing score on screen and obnoxious 'ding' noises to feel I've accomplished something!" type. It's a sandbox... but unlike many other sandbox games, where the player takes on the role of some greater power, some uncanny force for change... in E:D... you're just a grain of sand. Moving together, the sand can effect change, but alone... well, you kinda start to feel tiny, and insignificant. And it can be amazing.

The C64 version wasn't the original. The original was on the BBC micro.

@@sirius4k I don't think it needs a story. Real life doesn't have a story and neither does this game, you just got yourself and the people that inhabit it. Each player makes its own story. You start as a regular pilot, you learn mining, bounty hunting, trading, you learn what to avoid, how to fly, how to fight, you join a squadron, you create a faction, you expand it, then you get a carrier, you become a leader, you create a following, you get into PvP, you form alliances, you backstab, you unite, there's quite a bit to do and more stuff is on its way, it's all a matter of how much you appreciate the game for what it is and IMO there's quite a bit to appreciate.

My guess is 30m.

mattvjmeasures one B type cucumber

I jumped on a banana to test. I went about three feet.

mattvjmeasures Although, sometimes it can take damage after jumping, and sometimes the shields can split open as well.

:-) :-) :-)

My favorite E:D memory is landing and deploying SRV to scoop materials before realizing there was another CMDR in their ASP nearby getting ready to take off. Caught me off guard because I thought I was in solo-play but after a friendly chat they lifted up, turned to face me, flashed their ground lights, and turned back to the sky and blasted off. I was flying an Anaconda which is like 3x the size of the ASP but as I was sitting in the SRV (in VR, mind you), seeing that ASP blink it's lights at me before thundering away was the coolest VR experience I've had.

Factionary appropriation right there...

Canadian Jesus Because us federals are real pilots. That's why.

TyOrca 5 Bro, Try flying with the alliance where we have 0 dedicated combat ships, no capital ships, and the crappiest fighter in the beta, and then talk to me about real pilots.

As in pilots federation. All CMDRs are independent pilots within the pilots federation, regardless of their political alignment or allegiance.

***** huh, my bad.

Walking on a banana sounds fun

You can walk around your ships in Star Citizen. The big ones really feel like a real ship, it's amazing, especially if you've got someone else piloting.

i don t think we will be able to walk arround them, just look, they are too big

StarkIndustry thats exactly why we need to be able to walk on them!

+StarkIndustry according to frontier, It's in the works as well as walking around on stations.

Orbis stations could technically be as long as you like.

Pretty sure it would be the new "installations" that are in 2.2 beta right now. While modular everything is interconnected so I think it would count as the Orbis stations are also modular. When you fly up to one of the installations you realize how incredibly huge they are, hell you can fly through them!

Zogger568 that's simple THE largest thing man-made in the game are the cities on the planets, the planets with an atmosphere of course

Space dredgers ;)

Peeler-class

vr?

Yeah, VR and you know how big all is. First time to see an Orbis Station in VR: mindblowing. At a normal monitor it looks like an Ant compared with his real size. Even the today VR can't show you it exactly because of the low resolution you can't watch wide enough.

.hack//Balmung I was surprised the sidewinder was so big. Plus with VR it's really easy to track enemies.

Yeah, one main feature of VR (because without it would not be VR) is headtracking and 1:1 not the TrackIR like headtracking. So it is completely natural, you didn't need any training to use it right, and that is one reason why VR is so great, beside the size thing and that you can see all in 3D, not 100% natural 3D right now but it is pretty close to it. And that all together is simply mind blowing.

***** They never promised anything

Damn right, classical music is the best

I actually had the video muted before I pressed play cause I figured I wouldn't like whatever was playing. Instead I was all "Ra Ra Rasputin"

:(

You would have preferred something else? Sticking with Tchaikovsky, maybe 1812 might have been more appropriate (these are mostly military vehicles), or maybe Wagner (Tannhauser or Ride of the Valkyries would seem an apposite choice! :-) )

That was clearly a reference to Blue Danube scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

It's a rare item from the Beejams system. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if you head over to Andromeda you should find a few spots selling them. Interesting ship actually. Not very fast, but full of potassium.

Gabriel Rd wherever there are horses there will be a tesco

I bought mine at the good ol’ Trevithick Dock in LHS 3447

They sell them at Hutton Orbital

returning to the space loach instead of the banana was a brave artistic choice

So someone who likes classical music is automatically pretentious... Guess I found the douchebag.

This was used the music used for previous elite games. Show respect.

It was the music used for the docking sequence in 2001 A Space Odyssey. That's why it plays in the game as you engage auto docking. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5mfe9CHzdzNf2w.html

Mick Dixon I thought I was getting trolled at first when it went from banana to a sock toy lol

The designs are drawn from the old games. LOL

Matt Schmelzer Those cheese wedges are good ships. Well, most of them, anyways.

They were obviously trying to copy the Tesco-Class Banana Ship.

What are you talking about ? Only three ships, actually kept their 8-bit "cheese wedge" shapes.

they make good door stops to keep the mail slot open for other ships

Anima Manager because dubstepp is super mega insane duuuude

Infinite Lives people like toaster noises for some reason

Wayne Ashworth yeah I had to laugh about ten minutes because of the end...

Wayne Ashworth What was the joke?

@@assassinaria 5 years and still looking for the joke.

Eleventeen.

Yesn't

deep core mining is your friend =) get one or two friends and mine away. Took me a few days to swap my python for an anaconda.

LondonSpade get the Asda banana, it’s cheaper :)

Thats what Star Citizen is for XD

Well take into account that many of these larger ships cockpits accommodate more than one pilot lol

Yes, that always seemed strange to me. I mean, no wonder the cockpit gets hit so often.

they need the space. the next update is the co pilot one allowing your friends to travel in your ship if space allows

Really wish they add an option to install Armoured Shutters that can close around the Cockpit windows as need and switching to external camera. It will of course prevent the cockpit windows from being destroyed as easily. The weakness can be a limiting view to that of a holographic screen in front of you or maybe distorted vision when the enemy uses Chaff or ECM.

what is the name of this song ?

Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker Suite ballet (Tchaikovsky)

i think the fact that a newly installed coriolis station interdicted me out of super cruise even though i was allied with it's faction, is enough of a problem...

Police services usually interdict you for safety measures to make sure everything is green.

Cheers Boz!

I like your timeline of your game. I personally started in a sidewinder, went straight to the dbx, for cargo, bought a vulture to dip my toes in combat, went back to my sidewinder because I didn’t have enough money to outfit a vulture, learned my lesson after jumping into a threat lv 4 weapons fire zone, with a sidewinder. My friend talked me into buying a cobra mk lll, because it treated him well, I liked it, bought a keelback to try core extraction, made big money, bought a type 7, failed to do a wing mission by myself, went back to the keelback, made a ton of money to buy a clipper, realized I need rank, ground out rank with the empire, bought my clipper, tuned it into a shield generator with wings, went back to combat, liked it, but I didn’t have enough money to get my ship to its full potential, went back to my dbx, went on the road to riches, made about 3 mil, and in a desperate attempt to make money, I bought a dolphin and tried to transport people places, hated it, with head down, limped back to the void opal hotspot, and made 55 mil over a few hours, bought myself a krait mk ll, outfitted it for death, and here we are now. Bored and without any reason to keep going, as a krait was further than I thought I would ever get. So, yeah

same

unfortunately it's an amazon distribution warehouse that someone glued engines to

me too

Tchaikovsky, man...

Majestic Class Interdictor MKII

***** Never saw a Cobra MK D or a Viper MK B before

***** oh ok ya that makes sense

G4mer 4ddict ASDA class banana is an alternative

It's a Cobra MK V

In VR it actually does.

R4psu I wish it did on a monitor. I feel like I'm flying small ships no matter what I fly.

If I had a friend with one I'd borrow it but I'm not spending more than my computer is worth on one, not until I get a better computer anyway :)

***** It looks like we are flying little ships and we are not. I have never seen VR so I can't comment but the scale on a monitor sucks. I don't feel like my Corvette is that big, yet I know it's the size of an aircraft carrier. Star Citizen on the other coveys the scale perfectly. Shame it sucks so bad I can't bare to play it.

U don't have the perception, but i "landed" my vulture in top of some anacondas with broke power plant i wask killing, they're pretty huge when u get close. But i know what u're saying. i went from vulture to python, and the only thing that changes is the manouverability. It stills seems i'm flying a sidewinder in size.

Interpolated for you. ;)

lol, thanks. Great vid.

Mat Recardo the vid made me sub

TyOrca 5 he probably just took the model files from the game directory

As a growing CAD designer i want to ask how long it took them to make those models because they look good, but i could see a few shortcuts to get some results, but another issue is dimensions. you can't just throw those together you know?

Stag Dragon these models most likely weren't made in CAD but in Maya or Cinema 4D

I figure one station was enough!!

Well, I was just curious about a size comparison between those two stations, but it does not matter. Nice job.

That planetary city thing would be nice too :(

Or a type of Outpost?

Makes sense since this is a station that can travel, unlike the coriolis which gets buit in an orbit and stays there

When we allowed to walk around I'd love to be able to fly one (or another massive ship) then get in a smaller ship to go into the station to resupply, I wonder if we'll get that.

Flying Cow you'd have to, those last two are so huge they don't fit on any platform

Check my other scale videos, I've already done that. This is pure in-game stuff.

No you haven´t. Put in a Car or a Truck in Comparison. With the Model of a human or pilot with seat its hard to compare. If i ask myself: "Will my Cobra fit in my street, it is not easy to answer this question, with just the pilot or human.

One would hope so. Hoping to see that in game soon hopefully.

Cmdr Flint lmao you saw the thargoids first

Space Iguana it's what one of the Devs wear around their shoulders in livestreams frontier do.

Iguana?! Catfish?! :) Its a loach! Space loach to be precise!!

Nope : Viper MkIII : Dimensions 29.8L - 24.0W - 8.6H Eagle MkII : Dimensions 31.2L - 29.7W - 7.1H Hauler : Dimensions 28.6L - 26.2W - 10.4H

That's doesn't seem right. My friends and I pulled the ships alongside each other and the viper was the largest

In width maybe, not in length

Bulkiest most definitely. Eagles dimensions are higher in numbers but Viper is more filled up within his.

Not the two capitals at the end but the rest, yes.

Mat Recardo awesome !

Don't think you can pilot a bannana.

*cries*

Don't think you can pilot a pilot either.
