Hello which Ricardo and I'm playing elite dangerous today as part of
rebooting restart I thought I'd take a look at the old galaxy map now long
overdue this is and there's an awful lot to the galaxy map it has to be said and
if used correctly it can save you a hell of a lot of time so let's break it down
and check it out
so yes the galaxy map the mainstay of all travel throughout the known elite
dangerous galaxy now from mine you can see immediately on this screen you can
see where I've got all my ships Matt with a little red ship marker and
also you can see I've got engineers that I've currently visited on there as well
now a few people know this not a lot of people do as I can seen by some of the
forums but did you know that in the search box you can paste by doing a ctrl
V right on a PC into that box so if you're typing in I know one of the
Pleiades sectors a Pleiades sector D minus 1 2 3 & 4 - a don't go typing that
in it's written somewhere on the internet or you've got it in a document
just paste it in hit enter off it will go also when navigating to a
particular system did you also know and I bet you did that you can select the
stations within the system map and that'll plot your route direct they're
your travel as per normal like the way to that system but when you drop into
system and you're greeted by that lovely glowing ball of a Sun your navigation
marker will automatically update you to the station that you've selected in that
system map you can also set there as well should you want to and
also for the system app as well you can get some useful information from within
the system all good stuff now if you like what you're seeing so far hit the
subscribe button and the like button and look for that notification icon in the
notification Bell not let you know and I'm putting more videos like this on
YouTube now the route plotting screen has got other features as well you can
use jet cone booths and select that and now ivory plot your map you can select
fsd boost knife you want to use some of those materials that you've been
collecting and scooping up those valuable materials that you've been
saving for an engineer to go and travel further and boost your frameshift drive
then you can so and you can check your calculations and you can check your
route by selecting which level of frame booster you want to do as well also you
can select how many tens of cargo you have to carry to make that route
perhaps sometimes if you're carrying too much you won't be able to make it also
on the bookmark tab let's look at that now now I've got quite a few bookmarks
in there I don't know why I've done this I'd went bookmark crazy there were
things that I wanted to do wanted to see an offer
I'll book that bookmark that and I haven't been very tidy and going in
there and clearing them out or editing them so not only can you bookmark a
particular item station system you can select the bookmarking or jump you
directly there in the map you can also edit the bookmark and put in a more
meaningful name so it's a black hide you could say hey black height engineer this
or you can indeed just delete them and tidy Allah I don't know why bookmark the
engineer there's an engineer logo but there was a time I think when there
wasn't and that's when these bookmarks all the way that's where they came from
so that was bookmarks in all its glory but Matson be very untidy so I suggest
you tidy them up some of my top tips okay
so moving on from bookmarks perhaps the most important tab the filter tab oh my
god this is so powerful now I'm currently in state right state so boom
burst War lockdown that's a state you can see him depicted there in the menu
screen you can also select on commodities as well by do selecting
certain states you can rid take them away from the galaxy map maybe making
things a little bit easier to see we'd be very careful with your criteria if
you lock down your criteria too much then you're not going to see anything so
for example if you wanna look for a system that is in I don't know boom
state everyone likes a good boom state or a war state or a retreat especially
if you do in power play select it here now it's stackable as well so for
example like I mentioned boom now passenger missions have been a great
thing to do recently so you're looking for something in boom State and you'd be
looking for then a economy that selects I have no tourism for example they're in
a boom state with tourism now that should be pretty good for your passenger
missions that's what I'm saying and should be
right to make a good bit of money there
as you can see I've gone in I think select all of those click on tourism and
then when we'll come up all the way over there and you can see you can check on
it it's a Naboo mistake it's got tourism and it hasn't got very high population
so it is what it is check your filters that's what I'm gonna say it's very
important to check your filters another examples you might check high-tech in a
boom State as well these are stackable and I'll select and show you another
system on the galaxy map so you can select that for your trade routes a very
powerful tool really powerful tool I don't think Iceland you don't use it
enough especially in the game I think it just sort of one ball around fly around
here fly around there you know but by applying yourself and getting to know
the intricacies of the galaxy map you make things it'll be easier on yourself
not too much easier but a bit easier ok ok let's move on to extend ourselves on
that let's go onto the map section and look at all the different states we've
got we've got anarchy we've got democracy Imperial federal dictatorship
and the like and you can basically you can gauge what's gonna happen I think
especially if you do in power play power play again I haven't spent nearly enough
time as why should down recently in the game since all the updates on power play
but using the galaxy map can certainly help you out there with the expansions
and all of that as well but it does make you realise if you get your filters
running and I find up looking at a map of virtually nothing you think well
where's all the systems gone but what am I looking at so again I'm gonna stress
check that out civilization is quite good so far we've
got human we've got fire going to we've got Guardian and this will show you the
systems that you visited so ego you got the Guardian systems up there that I
visited we go out to the thyroids that's a couple down there that I visited as
well so civilizations can let you gauge what's going on there's any Guardian
bases nearby when I go into a guardian mission pick up some pick up some
Guardian items go and make some money and that's up to you
clicking on allegiance no allegiance is the default filter in the map if you
have a messed about with this that's your default as your default setting you
can filter on Federation Imperial the Alliance independent systems and the
like very useful I suppose when using power play to gauge where you are what
you're doing and you're gonna go into enemy territory are you gonna get more
hassle all that sort of stuff so again filters now clicking on a power
play tab I've got as a ling de vowel or Aisling the vowel I can show a
headquarters it zooms straight in I can see exactly how far away from her
headquarters it is I can then open up the power play overview if I want to
okay quite a few functions here you can what's emerging you know who's in
control where you gonna expand are you gonna go pledging your
allegiance for those probiotic shields I don't know it could be worthwhile I had
them once then sold the shit with the Mons a mistake a rookie mistake
but there you go so the power play section is going to be the topic of
another video it really is it's a huge huge huge topic but the galaxy map is
well worth getting to grips with and having a good play around
they were member to turn all the settings back to the fault
after you finish again we condensed to a filter on all
the damaged space stations for all the fag E's have been you can see the route
going into the core systems that's quite interesting is it following some sort of
pattern where exactly is it now what's going on in that system and the galaxy
map can help you try to ascertain these sort of items anyway I've been Ricardo
this has been a leak dangerous we start in reboot and a very quick look at the
galaxy map which I thought was long overdue take some time have a look
through it put things in the comments there's something in there that I've
missed you think I'd be worthwhile calling out hey let me know and perhaps
we'll do an update to the video thanks very much for watching your support is
well appreciated fly safe and see you soon
you
