Hello it's Ricardo and welcome to episode 3 of my reboot and restart
series of elite dangerous we're gonna look at hallo me and Commander
customization today and that's something that I haven't looked at with this
commander profile just yet as you know from some of the other videos I've been
going in there it with this Steam account that I got recently and starting
from scratch dragging my way up with my trusty Sidewinder doing some
informational run missions try and make some money and appreciating how much
really the game has evolved since I first started about three four years ago
we forget I think when we've got our cutters and our Corvettes and our
chieftains and the like what it means to start this game from scratch in the
basic of ships with only a thousand credits it's all about money so here we
are I've docked at a gateway station no
dramas there and I've gone to Hollow me as well so I'm going to go on get in
there and get this commander sorted out and get it looking a bit more customized
now you can choose your gender male or female okay what you can't do is change
physical attributes like hey let's call it out what it is the size of you how
fat are you how tall are you I'll smaller you that you can't do right you
can change the color of your spacesuit you can say hey I'll have a helmet or
I'll have the complete camera where I don't see my face and this is an
interesting point here where the helmet in emergencies only
well what qualifies as an emergency I don't know I haven't tried out the
fact that if you're in multi-crew and for you in combat and your cockpit
canopy get shot out does your helmet go on your avatar that's something I'm
gonna try out perhaps not in this game but perhaps in in another measure we do
know if the helmets come on in emergencies or when your cockpit can if
you get shot up let me know in the comments and be interesting to see when
I'm in combat that's something I'll try and check out to be honest with you I
don't really get into the script with an awful lot of time where the canopy does
get blown out but hey and something that'd be interesting to see if it
actually does work so let me know ok then so back to it now you can see that
you can customize a hell of a lot of the flight suit parameters but that costs
you $10 yes all that individualism does cost real world many at the frontier
store I mean yes ok you can change your facial parameters and yeah air color and
that's free and you get a few different colors of flight suit as well red blue
white black you know grey our standard for your commander but if you want that
little bit of individualism then you got to pay for it now if you have already
done so can you click the like and subscribe button if you like what you
see and also the notification icon and that'll let you know when I'm putting
more videos not only of this series but other series my other commanders and
other games on YouTube and as you know YouTube's change the parameters so
people liking a channel or liking a video it's all important to content
creators these days not because of monetization but also as well well it is
about monetization as well you've got to be able to keep that going Avenue but
let's be fair knowing what people like within videos does guide a content
creator gives me a good indication of what people like of the videos so here
we go we're doing some hair modification as well now and it's a wide variety of
hair styles available within the for elite dangerous and your commander
whether that command to be a boy or will that command to be a girl and
there's no restriction you can have some quite sure we say feminine hairstyles on
a male commander is perfectly up to you there's no restrictions it's not just
down to style it's also color how much grey do you want in it now for us aging
commanders especially those commanders who are who know and remember the
original elite game back in the 80s well you know there's gonna be a bit of gray
hair going on there isn't it and on all the young people who are just
getting into the game now well they're gonna be looking very more dashing with
sweeping hairstyles and the like now even those customizations do cost many
as you can see in the picture and pitch they do look quite cool with a pair of
shades on it that's quite good as well here we've got an example of different
kind of flight suits with a multi crew that's quite good as well and then going
into multi crew a bit further you can see have you got two pilots they're male
and female and they've been customized as well but this I think is both for one
of the favorite ones I found that's a really nice customized flight suit then
where the hell they got that from anyway so you can customize the color of your
eyes that your eyebrows do you want mixed colored I want bionic eye my god
you know it you can really customize this it is endless
now some commanders have been on the livestream and they've been complaining
or commenting on how there's not really a variation of some of the
representations of some of the more ethnic groups and people who play elite
dangerous I hadn't honestly noticed to be honest but then again was if it
affects you it affects you and I think you know this sort of diversity should
really be in the game so I think would be a good thing to have more variations
for some of the other skin tones and colors as well
it's not all about your saying hey I want big ears or hey I want a big nose
or hey I want red eyes you know people want to fight feel themselves
represented and not only by frontier I think but also by you know they're only
individualism so as you can see I'm puttin decal on my shoulders of my yeah
mostly penniless sort of details on both my shoulders and then picking the color
now do I want to go for spectacles or shades well to be fair I aren't spending
any money on this and so you're able to walk around your ship and then I'm gonna
take a long good hard look at it and if I think there's pose another question in
the community do you think hollow me is it good or bad is it worthwhile or is it
just something else to mess around with that you think the developers have put
in I think until you can walk around your ship it's only gonna be really used
in multi-crew do a lot of multi-crew and I think it's worth while if you don't
well then hmm you know do it once and then just forget about it I have none an
awful lot of multi-crew myself to be perfectly honest but like we said
earlier on in the video if your cockpit canopy gets blown out and you do a a
view of yourself in the cockpit have you got your helmet on does it affect people
in multi-crew if the cockpit gets blown out and you've got your helmet on that I
think is probably worthwhile if you look around the cockpit then you can see
what's going on but I just think it's one of those things Here I am I'm saving
my commander now got a nice white jumpsuit on there and that concludes our
look at Halloween thanks for watching check out next Saturday for next week's
episode
