James Gilmore The scale truly baffled me! I knew they were big, but it really surprised me to learn that my "small and nimble" dogfighting ship was larger than a gosh darn passenger plane!

Connor Walters Which one is your dogfighting ship?

Jedinate6 Asp Explorer, but in all seriousness, it's more of a multi purpose.

Jedinate6 Probably should put dogfighting in quotations.

Connor Walters And my railgun- happy always overheating chieftain is the same size as well. I didn’t expect it to be the size of a fer-de-lance, and truthfully expected it to be smaller overall.

Using the Elite Dangerous ship names formula a banana would be a Yellow Snake.

The jump range is only 3 feet though

@@sammiches2555 but the attack damage is through the roof with the added stun from hitting the floor

@@aonodensetsu yeh more like through the floor.

with a mass of 100 grams, its extremely lightweight, maneuverable, and its jump range is about as far as you can throw it.

Lakon : Big, Round and Juicy ™

Bwahaha! Big boneded!

ASP X?

Gimme dat type 9 heavy

Just with WAY bigger thrusters!

I've been flying around in a Cutter, I thought it was about the size of a 747...did not expect about the size of the bloody space station. Imagine that ship flying over head past an airport.

Here’s another thing: the ISS is the same size as an American Football field.

BlazeTheGryphon7x7 no one cares about American Football.

*Jesus was a Sausage* || I play Elite Dangerous, I do not care about American Football, either. However, everyone else in my state (Alabama) does.

MatchBreakers I think there’s huge banquet rooms, shopping centers, and entertainment spaces inside.

When we get space legs i except this off a Beluga now. But its going to be copy pasted seating and sleeping modules.

Speaking of first class, I'm at I sola prospect in the brestla system, but it won't sell me a first class cabin. Anyone know what's going on?(I sola prospect is a planetary base which sells you every ship and module in the game, if you didn't know)

They only come in size 4 and up, so you might be trying to put it in too small a slot, thats the only explanation i can think off.

MatchBreakers well they gotta have cargo room for all that salt you're carrying

Or were the Sidey in the mailslot when a Type 9 boosted through

Do people still do that? :/ when you've been flying as long as I have you forget that some folks are still new to the game. :)

Beluga liner does better, get a python and a beluga on the mail slot...

Scan detected *Boosts into slot* *Crash into wall* Fine issued for illicit cargo

Or they noticed the lack of Type-6...

They are actually much closer to the uss Pensacola in size so they are more closer to a light cruiser built in the 1930's than the Nimitz (they are actually smaller than the Nimitz)

The cockpit interiors *do* match the exteriors. They're absolutely, unreasonably huge. It took me a while to realize this, because I wasn't expecting such huge cockpits, but your dashboard is a couple of metres in front of you.

razorfett147 And if u can, hop into vr. It really puts things into perspective. But ur right, scale-wise they make no sense at all lol

anything above eagledoesnt have cockpit but a BRIDGE, they are designed to be used by several people and they allow those people to walk around the bridge ...

Exactly the same for me, i never felt like flying a huge ship, especially in a Type9/10 or Conda and my ASP E really doesn't feel or behave like a huge Plane It really doesn't feel like beeing in a huge ship when playing on a normal monitor. I guess i need VR soon

Aww man thats why i love the type6 and the rest of the lakon designs in VR. No other ships give you a view from below.

you should do a science video on elite. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

Oh cool you know who I am. HI!

Austin Hourigan ya man I've been watching you sense shoddycast. I even saw some of your streams. Keep up the great work your videos are AWESOME!

no it says its barely heavier

You know you could have just looked it up before posting, it literally says, right now, and I quote, "It is one of the smallest ships available, barely larger than the Sidewinder Mk I."

Cos you startled it.

And it will eventually slither into another video.

When that day does happen can't wait to see the inside of a Beluga liner Federal Corvette anaconda and Imperial cutter those ships will be as wondrous as much as they will be a maze

rip

@@dottykarma5823 yeah rip indeed

You're forgetting that engines and frame shift drives are absolutely massive. The seats are normal sized, its just that theres so much other important stuff in the ship theres basically no room.

@@UriMegaConnor true, but the Diamondback cockpit is really out of scale, it's huge compared to the pilot, and I had never noticed that

Aksel Newt Most of the ships have spaces more like bridges than cockpits. Even in the Python which is a medium sized ship has stairs within the “cockpit”

@@AksenowtCc because it's not a cockpit, it's a bridge with walking room.

@@cirejc2235 still too much surface exposed, i know it's not a pure combat ship, but it's like the vulture, stupidly large canopy that always gets destroyed in front fight

I know this comment is 9 months old but I own the 2001 a space odyssey sound track on record and the song actually sounds real cool out of a record player

From the outside for sure. we're so used to seeing windows on an aircraft meaning there's very little room behind the glass for people and cockpit. Inside the ship, less so. You can look around some of the cockpits and see how far away the door is, the upper or lower decks etc. and in VR this is increased vastly. If you only ever look forwards from the pilots seat, you are only getting one perspective. A good test is go outside and look at yourself in the chair, compared to how much glass there is.

I mean I can't please everyone but as the bulk of my viewers come from reddit, I'd at least ask the question to see if any common favorites bubble to the surface.

Agree completely. Another great installment :thumbsup:

I was shocked to find out that the Viper I usually fly is the size of the space shuttle; and then the Federal Corvette is almost the size of an aircraft carrier.

Princess Luna Don’t forget ALL the different kinds of stations! There are more types than just Orbis!

Megaships and most stations are modularly constructed, meaning no two are exactly alike. They don’t have one exact size. Orbis stations are like this, too; a Coriolis station should’ve been used in this video instead.

@@Monody512 Not to mention that Coriolis stations tend to be even larger than Orbis stations

The big flowers have hulls nearly immune to conventional weaponry and are very agile. That and their design really help to give the impression they're an advanced alien species.

i mean some of the comparatively small regular ships can take out a capital ship too if you know how. the thargoids have tech the in-game humans barely even understand and is much more powerful. back in the day computers with barely any computing power used to fill up entire buildings, but today you can get something with thousands of times more computing power in the palm of your hand. same principle, thargoids are just ahead in offensive technology.

*Spoiler alert!*

GROOV3ST3R oh do fuck off. elite dangerous is NOT a thrilling story piece. its about faffing about in space.

You literally missed the pun.... congratulations. I wasn't even replying to you but to xTrem Sheep...

But close enough, I hear they are just ammonia based bug things.

Looking at the inside of a Thargoid vessel, it almost looks like this would be the model. Whoever did it anyway, I love the design.

Insectoid ammonia/carbon based life, ye. Until they show us a real one in ED, I think that model is as close as we’ll get.

It’s very similar to the actual thargoid model but its not the real one

the only good bug is a dead bug
