Yesterday I flew into one of the stations to rescue some civilians, forgetting that I had to have cabins on board. I was flying back out when my cargo hatch malfunctioned, dropping an occupied escape pod that I had rescued from an unrelated Thargoid attack. RIP that guy. Edit: Forgot to mention that I was _fined_ for dropping cargo in the exploding station.

Honestly though, the entire thargoid thing has so much potential. You could have Explorers running around and mapping the soon-to-be battlegrounds, smugglers entering thargoid space trying to stay undetected whilst attempting to also get intel, traders and miners collect material thats used to build megaships, etc.

This makes me think that the thargoids we currently encounter aren’t the aggressive ones Think about it You can fly around them without trouble They’ll give you warning and a chance to leave before attacking When they hyperdict you they tend not to attack right away They didn’t flat out destroy the stations. They simple disabled the stations that created weapons to fight them, and let people evacuate Surely if these were the aggressive ones, they’d flat out destroy everyone and everything they came into contact with

Now this is the kind of content we come for. Space, spaceships, spacestations, aliens, science and, of course, human-spaceship reproduction considerations.

Red hot ball bearing in a washing machine that's being crushed by a hydraulic press.

I have a washing machine, I have a camera and a tripod, now off to find a hot ball bearing. I am going to be rich!

Elite Dangerous: Lets go on a christmas sale! Me: Huh, ED is on sale. *Opens steam to check price* Steam: ED = £5, Horizons = £10 Me: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Pays*

The roleplay that these missions generate, is sensational!

That second station was definitely missing part of the Habitation ring, so maybe the first one was just lucky, and not the Thargoids "avoiding civilian casualties"

Yeah Elite Dangerous powers all of their settlements/stations and ships with fusion power. So that ball in the back of the station was a fusion reactor with super hot hydrogen spinning around.

Yeah, the Cyclops was Threat 5, Basilisk is Threat 6, and now Medusa is Threat 7.

Make more elite: Dangerous videos!!!! I started watching you because of kerbal but you have got me sucked into elite dangerous in the process! keep up the great videos, always love your content.

Loved the shots of the last station. such a gorgeous system.

Scott, I love your gaming videos. I actually bought this game because of watching you play. You really helped me blow up Kerbals good, too. Keep up the good work!

Lower your shields. I have observed that they will hold heat around your ship if they are up. (I use this to get closer to stars to refuel safely).

Scott's anaconda don't want none unless you've been to suns, hun.

Elite: Dangerous - now too hot to handle.

Every time I see one of your videos, you make me super excited that I'm going to be getting a good pc later next year, because there are so many games I need to play because of you lol.

I don't even play this game and I love watching.

and the Thargoids aren't even trying yet......

Go take a look at the attacked station's powerplant on the opposite end of the station from the 'mail slot', now do you understand the comm's interference? 😊👍

Medusa looks armed to the teeth, can't wait to see people taking them on solo.

Commander, shots fired DIRECT HIT!!! Those damn ball bearings are going down :P

Looks like the situation is really escalating! Seems a large alliance will be needed to beat back this threat.

Might have to get back into this. Things appear to be getting interesting. Haven’t played ED in quite a while and my ship will be woefully unprepared for anything Thargoid related.

Scott, It look like the ovoid object for The Oracle is presumably a Tokamak Fusion reactor due to the stream at 9:21. That is what I have seen with Tokamak fusion reactor prototypes, though this would be drastically more powerful and hotter given that the stream is blue and not red, and a hell of a lot denser.

"Red hot steel in a washing machine" is something they actually did on Beyond The Press.

Hello, Obsidian Manley :-D

Thanks for the channel ideas!

Scott, i'm a huge fan of your videos about Elite: Dangerous since a few years and i just discovered Eve online and now i'm sitting here asking myselfe: why isn't he doing more Eve content? I would love to see more eve on your chanal. BTW. greetings from germany :D

I wish you had been in open... I was out there last night. would have been cool to see you

But what of the droid attack on the Wookiees?

I am guessing this event isn't running anymore. First time I saw this, and it looks really fun actually to go check out the destroyed stations.

when it comes to fire in space i am willing to suspend my disbelief for the rule of cool

The flame effect could be caused by venting.

Don't they use hydrogen fusion for their energy generation?

Holy shit. This game became amazing pretty fast. Last time I checked up on it you couldn't land on planets

@Scott Manley just so you are aware, the ships are powered by a cold fusion reactor. Thus why your ship uses hydrogen as fuel.

5:40 That ship is called "Hotel California".

Do you have a link to your conda build? Mine is optimized for jump range (and kinda hybrid for multipurpose), but I want some variation where I don't take 5 minutes to turn.

Silly Scott, the stations are in Boom state because they're all going boom on the inside.

The end is nigh! Buy my anti-thargoid charms!

Scotts idea about washing machines and ball bearings made me have bad ideas.

I'm rather new at ED but I am curious... Do the stations that hang around ringed systems cross through the rings at any point? Technically they would if their inclination was different than the rings themselves.... Just Curious....

Oh, I miss damaged starports I visited Obsidian Orbital the one time it was damaged but now they’re all gone

How id you manage to get three Bobble-heads aside from the David Braben one.

I need to get back into this game and get into the fight. I didn't realise how bad the situation has gotten. I remember the first few days after the first attack. Now this. #Makethegalaxyfreeagain

Station tells you to get out quickly while you still can, *gets a fine for speeding*

I love your videos Scott, but that joke about Princess Leia was literally on the front page of the subreddit a few hours ago. I hope that was coincidence.

The fire would follow the vector of vent...its gushing out so it would have momentum, wouldn't it?

At the beginning when he was saying it looked like Blade Runner, that's exactly what I thought right as those fire puffs happened lol

Hopefully I have time to grind to be able to be part of the Thargoid war. Some players helped me a bit in the beginning and right now I have a Cobra MkIII. I really just don't know how to efficiently make money and when I try to make commercial missions I don't know where to go.

So are the thargoids the ships themselfs or are they just manning them?

What's that hot ball bearing thing? Is it part of the heat dissipation? Seems dangerous to shoot it out in a space station.

I’m a returning player I last played when landing on a planet was the new thing What have I missed

what if the flames were being fed by venting atmosphere? then what's it look like?

4:34 - lol, there is actually a video on red hot ball bearing placed in washing machine on YT :D

getting some alien isolation vibes here...

How do i change the cockpit light colours?

i wonder if there are still damaged stations today. got into my dolphin yesterday to do some missions for a small landing pad. and i can't seem to overheat it even if i try. (does not go above 65 degree's even if i am fuel scooping at max capacity while charging my frameshift drive to go to the next location)

How does the damage of the station affect the quality of the holograms on your well-kept ship?

Which systems are these stations in?

Watching this years later... and I'm convinced to play again. I stop playing good games to play new good games. I didn't stop because I didn't enjoy it just didn't enjoy it as much as new experiences... I'm thinking that I shouldn't have stopped. I experienced so little in the 94 hours that I played. I'm reinstalling.

man that white and gold expo paintjob. i want one =(

Wouldn't the venting oxygen create that turbulence-effect with the fire?

Not played Elite Dangerous for so so so long. Is this a limited time event?

Can you save everyone? Or is there an infinite amount of people in there?

Important question: Will they bother me when i fly around looking at all the new and interesting planets to be releaased in about 2025?

I guess Scott Manly has been watching RHNB (red hot nickel ball) lately

and here I am halfway between Jacques and Sag A :p

...but the ring is the primary habitation area.

They will never leave the Pleiades Sector. Core Systems are safe. Right? Right?

0:11 how is that fire burning in space without oxygen? I know there's oxygen from inside the station, but that section of the station would've lost all the oxygen into space by now.

I think tomorrow I'm gonna go do that, would be a change of pace

Such a static experience... :(

I am currently still new to this game but I dont see why so many are upset about how long things take. It's a (space simulator) I mean what did they think the game was going to be? Only dogfighting other ships and earning billions in a day? There are plenty of space battle games already for that Edit: if you want true immersion and a game you can play for longer than 3 days. This seems to be the game for you

Are thargoids Horizons only or are they in default too?

I'm going to be that guy. Fires in space.

Man while all this cool stuff is going on hundreds of miles away from the bubble, I’m stuck in Gateway deep in Alliance space unable to jump more than 7 light years trying to scrape together enough trade money to get a better ship; I’m just gonna stay in the bubble until the next big thing comes around so I can leave for thst

Splundig vur Thrigg, Earthlets

9:14 High tech fusion "donut" reactor?

How manly is Manley? 11.

14:29 What are you talking about? It's clearly blue and black...

4:34. I hope carsandwater is watching

Red hot ball bearing challenge sounds like beyond the press territory

...oracle station was an inside job.... I'm pleasantly surprised by the content, a nice change to the usual stuff but this kind of thing needs to happen more often, just to keep missions from being stale in the toaster rack

Just say the fire has lots of venting gas around it and call it good. :P

so you go ftl and the ship is like "ok i can handdle the heat"...but you enter a pressurised station dock with a bunch of fires and the ship is like "omg this is hotter than a star!!!" ...kind of stupid .

so wait the stations are player owned?

SO NO AUTO DOCKING

I WANT DAVID ON MY DASH!

Which ships can carry passengers?

Did you mean alien instead of blade runner?

I hear "Scots Livestream" I immediately move to Twitch :)

10000 DEGREE BALL BEARING VS WASHER/DRYER COMBO

maybe by feeding them escape pods with people in it the thargoids have now developed a taste for human flesh and a large amount bitterness from the new weapons used on them.

Welp I'm gonna end up booting up the game and then Thargoids.

"Boom time"

I can't believe i'm missing all this cuz I'm in the middle of nowhere lol

Anyone else find a Scott Manley comment in a weird side of KZfaq?
