hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous if you have been following the game
by now you would known that update 17 has dropped on the 16th of November 2023 and an awful lot of
work has been put into the thargoid Barnacle Matrix sites which are now called thargoid
Spire sites and you can see why there's a lot of spires there lots of lights and it does look
pretty cool at nighttime as well you see the quintessential green Mist all the way around
it and you got the massive spires with platforms coming out of the side it really is something to
behold but they've got their own Mysteries which are only now just starting to uncover
and some of this is around new materials now we don't know what the materials are for but hey
like every good Elite dangerous Commander we love picking up stuff we have no idea
about well straight off the bat the bacle Matrix sites have been now called Spire sites and they're
visible from space I mean here they are you can see it from space on approach they're huge these
spires are absolutely massive now here's the thing when you approach these spires you get
the idea hey there are platforms Don't Panic you can land your ship upon them there's no need to
have to go through an entire Panic like what we did on a stream so just be where you can land
your ship on that if you're cing with a good Glide of descent the spires tend to range in size from
minor to normal to Major to large spires as well you can see the platforms that you can land your
ship on just there as well but not every Spire has them depending on size so for this particular
Heist I'm using my Python and I've got it kitted out with an SRV I'm going to use the SRV v as a
base of operations here just in case I run out of any of the on foot components I need like medical
or power for example cuz you could be out here a while should a catastrophe like falling off
the Spire can cause so I'm using the SV as a base of operations and as soon as I get down what I'm
going to be doing is sending the ship away it doesn't attract any due attention from the the
Revenant they shouldn't get this far high up and typically the scouts as well that are whizzing
around so I'm going to dismiss the python and away it goes so on for the plan we're going to
go and get some new materials now like anything in Elite dangerous these spy Refinery compounds
need a bit of a knack to doing them and for the new command who doesn't know what they're doing
it can be quite dating and quite difficult it took us a couple of gos on the stream but we
soon had it sorted out it's a little bit different to what we're used to to actually having something
released but it's a welcome change because these sights are so spectacular here we go okay then
so there's the Scarab we're can use as a base of operations once again I'm using the arimus suit
because because you get three power packs in this level of
AR suit let's go turn the torch on here's the
Spire all the thoes are popping in left right and
Center we're
off so we got these things every now and again they spout out their Mist their Steam
feel like this one's going to
do right there's the altar down there nerve
clusters nerve cluster and that probably means on this instance
there's one there where's the other one probably from
here it's best from this vantage point it's probably better so let's get down
there yeah there's one over there right okay then so what we got here
it's that little sort of like beak orifice we've
got okay so out with our charger give it a
zapping give it a Zapp in they've changed from green to Red get over here there's
low gravity on this one be interested to know if there's low gravity on the other
ones
there you go brilliant F fantastic we got to get over to that one now little thrusts of the
backpack here we go and then that do you hear the
squeak it went like that now this means we get over here
now and it's got this sort of like glowy Guff on it o it's a good set
piece the hybrid compound bin extracts by a Refinery compound oh go on then and we're
done and that's it what exactly we use it for we don't know we don't
know so that's the hybrid compound bin quite the heist and the first time you
do it it's all th thwart with angst and things like this but you'll soon get the
Knack of it and this is just one of the materials that you can find at that site
and look out for more videos on the other stuff I've been Ricardo thanks for watching see you
soon
