Hello its Ricardo and welcome to elite dangerous beyond so you may have noticed
I think in the community and also in game play I've certainly noticed it that
elite dangerous seems to be going a little bit off the boil now this has
happened a couple of times there's been a big grandiose announcement we've got
new ships we've got things happening in the game there'll be fire goods
everywhere and what generally happens is this is all lauded about and spoken
about in the community and people do all their videos and then there's actually
nothing really to do now it's a vast game there's loads to do but is it
worthwhile doing you know what I mean is it worthwhile investing time in doing it
there's been an update this being Tuesday I'm not sure making mow today
I'll come out recently I haven't been online for a bit I've been playing a bit
to see a Thieves which I'm enjoying I'm enjoying see a thieves
I mean so we've explored the Guardian sites seen one seen them all the only
sort of like carrots there is gonna be you get blueprints for Guardian tech so
great get all the Guardian weapons but that's already been sort of like outed
out there because 20 I got the dynamics wrong and it was people finding it too
easy to get blueprints so now they've adjusted that I get crime and punishment
constantly being tweaked and it's a good side and bad side of this right so
they're constantly tweaking it so yes they're making the game challenging it
shouldn't be a pushover it's a simulation that's great but then there's
the other side of the fence where people are saying just you really
leave it be I'm playing the game I haven't got time to devote my entire
life to something like this just can I get on with it please so to that that's
a a good point of view also with crime and punishment you've got the aspects of
hot chips and hot mobs and I did a video on this last week entitled hot chips and
hot mods but that's been tweaked as well I think personally for the better
because you know you couldn't refuel you couldn't do this you couldn't do that
you couldn't change the mods you're cleaning them are just really expensive
and I get it the idea of this crime and punishment and hot ships hot mods and
and detention centers it's a really good idea to stop people being ganged up upon
in the game and vaporized my answer to that is if you don't want to play an
open alright then play in solo imagine playing World of
Warcraft solo are not sure how long you last
I'm sure some people have lasted ages right I don't know but some games are
enjoyed better with friends in some respects and if you're playing it open
then you take your chance unless you've got a crew with you and you've got a
wing and you know you've got a way of getting back at them I mean look at EVE
Online Evon like unlike Eve like yeah on like huge battles we have
problems there with clans and stuff taking people out and what-have-you but
just couldn't accept it for what it is if you're gonna play an online
multiplayer game then put up with it else playing solo those are my thoughts
on the subject and that might be quite contentious I don't know put your clean
comments in the comment section if you didn't so here's another thing to
consider as well so the chieftain yes lovely I like that shit is very nice and
I've had one in on whether the commander which is great and I've already used it
because I'm still bombing around in the ASP because the ASP has got the huge
jump range on it and I can land it virtually anywhere now I haven't had the
time to go in start engineering things for the chieftain and I have no idea
what the maximum jump range is going to be but we'll find out soon enough
so there's being lots of words alluded to the thyroids and what they're up to
and if you use the Eagle Network of installations you can deduct and deduce
where the next attacks are going to be and then players able to fly in to those
systems and so like stave off the attack the problem with this is is that there
are many other attacks going on at the same time and I think it's probably
encouraging people to be perhaps more coordinated but then it's not giving the
players the facility to be more coordinated
makes any sense the community goals perhaps should play to this a bit better
be a bit more you know acute to what they're trying to say what they're
trying to do these Guardian sites them so you collect all the bits that you
need you go off you find the pylons you scan em you get some information that's
good for round toe The Guardian sites drive around you scan you know you don't
you shoot the pylons they charge up you shoot the other five the big ball comes
out you get attacked by skimmers shoot the skimmers scan the ball log off do it
again brilliant
nothing tiny short if that's got like playability that's really briny you know
and to get like a hundred and fifty blueprints or whatever it is to get a
weapon well I mean sheesh that's a lot of blueprints in it it's a lot of
grinding you know and I'm currently at one of the Guardian sites and I think
I've about five blueprints cement that because I really haven't been bothered
and they are I mean you know I'm getting a bit fatty now I suppose really see if
thieves is out and I'm generally enjoy an axe I can play that with my son
multiplayer sort of thing and we can crew up and go and get up to all sorts
of priority mischief you know with Xbox that's one thing in it you know it works
on everything and of course you can get elite on the Xbox I know I understand
this but it's not true cross plates not true cross-platform is it and I'm
surprised it hasn't been that this is this game is ripe for cross play
Microsoft has shown that it can be done with the Xbox and Windows 10 machine
why or why cannot be done with elite dangerous this is the question do any of
you know if any of you are still listening to my ranting about this and
you know put it in the comments be clean family comments now family no one wants
to hear any hate I do want to hear any ate any hate I'm gonna block you simple
as that right end a story I don't need it in my life
no one needs it in their life we're all friends yeah at least we should be so
that's that's another thing so I think it's gone off the boil a little bit and
I think you know we're seeing that in the community like I say and we and we
see in at within the game now as some of you know I've got a restart and reboot
series going on that I air every every Saturday 6 o'clock British Standard Time
as I was corrected the other day I just call it 6 o'clock at night you know and
I'm in the UK so that's what time it is so and that's a little bit easier
because I'm able to go out and we visit all the old homes I want to do and I'm
bombing around in a cobra Mach 3 and they haven't got much money and it's
good and exciting and it's nice and I like it and it's given me the option to
go and do things slightly different with a bit of experience and that's been good
and I think you generally get to a point in the game where you've got millions in
the bank from whatever it is you have been doing you've got a fleet of ships
and you think well let's just go somewhere and buy a planet sit down
build a base pack my ships there thank you very much is that something that's
that's lacking from the game the ability to go off and sort of like claim a
planet if you own or claim a sector of planet by your own spend the credits you
know build a base perk your ships there and use that as your Forward Operating
Base or your home system I think that's great
and then I would open up and in different aspect of trading not only
trading as you as a trader but trading us as a base administrator and depending
on what level of micromanagement you get into that that might be a good idea
that's just my point of view my idea I dunno I don't any frontier development
people to think and listening to this who knows but I reckon that would be a
good thing to have on the roadmap that's anywhere else would be good to have on a
roadmap different types of SRV now yes yes I know
the SRV slot is a standard size and it fits on ships lovely fantastic brilliant
so if you wanted a bigger SRV some of the bigger cargo bays or SRV bays I
should say accommodate 2s RVs so if you wanted a bigger air serving then why not
insist that you have a bigger ship and as they're carrying - you carry one big
honking one which can carry more stuff pick up more materials
perhaps F more firepower or perhaps you could have exploring s RVs
I don't know I'm full of ideas today I don't know what I know well I just come
from you know or additionally just built a roof rack I've said it before I'm
gonna say it again boots a roof rack to that SRV or have the option to unload
from your cargo bay a trailer and then you load the trailer into your cargo bay
so the u.s. RV pulls this trailer around right I filled it up with all my
whatever
drumwright thank you very much back to the ship Parker in goes the
trailer and then you've got I don't know any tens of whatever you've picked up
lining materials that would open up the whole planetary minding dynamic I think
as opposed to oh I found something burst burst burst burst yeah I've mind it
bring it oh look I found a canister from a downed ship Oh back to the ship back
to the ship we go that might help what else ships so we know we're gonna
see the crate lovely
what about like the other stuff like the Panther Clipper that was a great big
honking old ship wasn't it back from any dangerous law or is the plan just to ply
us with ships you know that if you want em you want yeah great let's let's do a
review on the ship brilliant everyone rushes after founders
to go and buy one or the Alliance sectors to go and spend a little bit
less money strange in it there needs to be a sort of grandiose statement event
now it's a habit I think I dunno what you all think
so that's been a little bit of a my thoughts on elite at the moment
might come across is a bit negative it shouldn't because you know I'm not
negative about the game I just think you know I'm at the point now where I can
see so many improvements that could be done I know frontier are working on
several different other games that you know it's it's a hope that the
development of this game continues in in the theme that it started I'm not sure
what sales are on a leap on the platforms at the moment but there are
more and more players on the forums all the time so I think it's certainly still
maintaining its traction anyway if you have already done so can you click the
like and subscribe button and they can bring that notification bell because
I'll let you know when I'm putting more videos on YouTube and look out for the
restart and reboot series on a Saturday and more videos in this series
I've been Ricardo and I'm signing out thanks for watching
you
