I need to get back "out there". Been parked for the last 8 months now with all this Thargoid stuff going on. Thanks for keeping exploration alive in Elite!

To be fair, we now don't actually know whether the next two ships will be variants or new ships either, now that the Type 8 has actually been revealed to be a new ship.

good morning cmdr another amaizing video !congrats sir!

Cor stunning episode this week Ex! That sense of scale too 👏

I’ve not played in a number of years but I am thinking of getting back into it again. Where on earth did you get that radar dish on the ship? Very Millennium Falcon’ish.😅

Very nice 👍 😊

I thought the Type 8 was going to be another flying brick.... I was so wrong! If the Python Mk II and now the Type 8 is the direction FD are heading going forward, I can hardly wait to see ships 3 & 4 too!

Great comments and attitude...

Making ASMR videos from terror triffid titans 🤷🏼‍♂️

Was whatever at first but placed myself irl on that planet next to the other. How. That would be quite something to behold on a expedition mission whatever that entails.

I have just started playing elite again after a 2 year break. I started as a explorer in the early days of ED and got my ELITE wings that way. Started combat then got totally bored so left. Having seen your guides I have just started out into the black again. WOW its where Elite really shines. I can see me being drawn in again. Your collection of images can only inspire. Thanks for bringing Elite back to life for me.

cool

o7 cmdr. Have a great weekend Sir 😎👍

There are so many aspects of the design that I love, including the slightly different cockpit canopy compared to existing Lakon ships that sport a similar design; it feels both sleeker in the sense that it's got kind of a roundness to it, while also looking more reinforced and chunky. Definitely looking forward to getting one.

You are whipping the mouse around much too fast when scanning for resources, and missing some HUGE signals for Iron, Silicon, Carbon, and the ICE you need for the farms you refuse to research, along with every subset of the major categories like the science ships and tech lab. You are effectively skipping half of the game. Fully upgraded domotic living quarters are similar in density to coffins in a slot machine (AKA cell housing) screwed to the wall but will boost trust instead of costing it. Have you noticed that "Valhalla" is the consciousness of Vanir Dolos, uploaded into an AI (all the AIs are actually the remains of actual people who apparently chose to be digitised as AIs)? You will need to take a backup of your former boss.

I normally use droning sounds like storms or train passings to block out tinnitus when i sleep. Occasionally, I like to mix it up with sounds from Elite like these. Active geological features are also a good one but can be hard to find in large enough groups to provide the right sounds. Anyway, I just want you to know that people do appreciate these. Loops would be awesome, too, although I know those kinds of videos take a while to process.

You are really feeling the pain from abandoning so many resources in the Solar system, and even leaving half the known survivors of the human race to die there. And the beatings still continue until morale improves (or you learn what "extra hours" means).

Remember that the Tiqqun was badly damaged in that initial test jump that tore up the moon so badly that it melted rock, like a huge asteroid impact. Of course it is in less than perfect condition, but unfortunately, that bucket of bolts is all humanity has left. You badly need to extract every resource and science point from the entire solar system before leaving it forever, so you should have left nothing. Instead, you killed half the known human population in your insane dash to the place where the Protagoras was wrecked and needed to send an SOS. What could possibly go wrong?

First time on your channel, just had to say, your speaking voice is outstanding.

Hephaestus (or more accurately Hephæstus), like Oulixes (you licks ease), is a Greek name. Emphasis is on the second syllable in both cases. "Extra hours" does NOT mean you have extra people, but that you are demanding compulsory overtime (i.e. extra hours) from your workers. The beatings will continue until morale improves. You urgently need to defrost more cryopods, and it is nuts that you even have some on board but have turned the cryonics centre off while still deficient in workers. You had better aim at 10% surplus workers per sector, or every time you build anything you will cause accidents and kill off valuable workers. That delay while you hunted up the electronics and struggled with the resource management to move it to the right sector cost you badly on hull integrity, and OF COURSE efficiency drops off as the big holes are patched - it takes longer to find the smaller holes and patching each of them has less effect than patching a big hole.

The workers in Sector 2 came out of your Sector 1 workforce, which, of course, left Sector 1 overworked. You need to have all the resources, including human, available before opening any new sector. Short version, thaw out cryopods and watch your population carefully (remembering not all are workers, the rest should ideally be trained as colonists) before opening new sectors. That 40 are those needed just to run the basic operation of the sector - mess hall, infirmary, workshop, and stockpiles for food and building materials. Anything else you build there needs to have more workers (specifically workers, not "any crew" which includes non-working future colonists) transferred in. Oh, and always wait until all the science has been gathered before leaving a site. You will be screaming for that science soon.

"Accidents" are self-inflicted, by moving outside optimal working conditions. It is possible to do a complete run to completion with 0 accidents if you never require extra hours of the most valuable resource you have - your workforce. Once you trigger the program routine that causes accidents, by straying outside optimum working conditions, they will always happen, although the more extra work you force from your workers, the more frequently they occur. It is amazing to me how few so-called "reviewers" ever worked out that basic game mechanic.

All the names in this system come from Mad Max - I actually think of it as the Mad Max system. You desperately need to prioritise upgrading the laboratory, as you can very quickly be generating science points faster than you can collect them. It's a bit of a mistake to leave the solar system before doing that, and you should never leave science untapped because you haven't researched the technology to do it. With the lab upgraded, if you arrive at a planet and find you need deep diving, exoskeleton suits, or whatever, you do the research to have that technology immediately, before leaving the planet, and get on with the exploration that requires them. You are constantly creating unsafe working environments and therefore accidents by making your workers do extra hours or even overworking them, which is steadily killing off your workforce (the most valuable resource you have). Why are you so badly understaffed?

16:58 How the heck did those people start starving after two hours in the new sector? I think you should have said yes to the pledge, shuold be simple enough to transfer food to storage?

they should have hundreds of ships by now, shame.

Great overview commander. I must admit I will be getting one!

This ship looks star citizen. Like how the Nomad in Star Citizen looks more like Elite Dangerous. Nice to see both games having ships that are unintentionally(or intentionally) callbacks to each other.

I really liked the new ship when I saw it on stream yesterday. I really like trading and space exploration, so if the new ship jumps well, I'll even fly it to explore. The appearance gives us something completely new, because these shapes of airplanes (Gutamaya) and triangles (Zorgon-Petersson) and various other geometric shapes are already very boring. It will be hard to wait for this beautiful toy.

Looks like an upside down vulture

pretty ugly. hopefully it performs.

Can you imagine two size 4 hard points that can only equip size 4 mining equipment? Monch tf out some rocks all day long.

Sure looks like the engine nacelles could fold together for landing, don't it?

How much cargo does it hold? We need to know! It looks great. So glad to see FDev push their boundaries. This would make some great salvage gameplay as well.

Looks great but I thought they'd be closer to actually releasing it though it seems like its months away still....

they did such a good job here, love the new designs of their ships. Our current ones are cool but feel a bit dated compared to alot of sci-fi references, this one just nails it. Cant wait to use it, imagine if we could walk up that ramp to the cockpit.. (I know I know but id love that)

I like the way this ship looks. It has a industrial look. It just looks like a 1000 ton freighter but it won't carry that much. Maybe it's big brother can. LOL Can't wait fly her.

Make a good miner. 😊😊

It's a great looking ship. I am curious as to how they will make this a better medium trader than the Python Mk1. I think it needs to be able to carry more cargo to really shine, but that seems unlikely given the Pythons internal modules. Excited to see what the end product has to offer, but loving the look that's for sure. Could well become a great mining ship depending on hard points?

can see myself exploring in this, if it jumps...

I can hardly wait to get one.

Thats pretty cool … love the movie … great score and intro!

Shame they didn't fix the fact that you cant do an advanced repair on the Python II that they are selling for cash. Hull integrity continues to fall day by day.

... So... just AX stuff.

Big wait times between inputs….un playable

It's almost as if they regret starting this war.

I would really like more about the gaurdians. I spend weeks collecting all the components for weapons and fighter's. They can wipe the bugs out now!

Bumping bodies are bad for crew morale, but they are still very much trusting you so the problem can't be that bad.

Well done. It's super sweet when a Titan heart pops right at the moment you are pouring on the pain. Great visuals.

Good, now we can move on to Thargoid ground combat, right? Riiiight?

What shield do you use? Bi-wave maybe?
