Hello it's record oh and welcome back to elite dangerous beyond now the chapter 4
beta is upon us and with it has become the codex the codex has been a
much-anticipated feature from the community for quite some time you visit
all these places where's that information go how can you go back and
look at things retrospectively without using third-party tools or third-party
websites getting yourself outside the game well the codec is going to answer a
lot of these questions so let's dive in and take a look at it so straight off
the bat on the right hand panel it's been a bit of a redesign going on I mean
oh we got a new interface as part of chapter 4 beta code X is very clearly
marked along with other X sections as well that we've seen in the past but
they got squadrons now I'm playing in solo mode at the moment which so I can't
look at squadrons but the codex comes up and brings a lovely interface I've got
my commander's avatar there on the left hand side here we go so straight away
we've got the session log which gives me all the stats my highest single reward
number of ships owned my highest trading profit how many systems I visited the
list goes on so all these stats all this telemetry that the game has been
collected over the months years even and you can see I've paid for about 17 weeks
has been collected and now presented you in a palatable and consumable format in
the form of the Codex so again you can go down the left-hand side and there's
more stats and more information that you can glean you can see that you know I'm
not a very naughty boy I've got no notoriety you can see what
black markets you've been attached to trading your highest trading profit
all interesting stuff right kind of say interesting stuff if it's gonna lend
that much to the game this particular section I don't know I think when you go
back to the get to the section about encounters and the third words and the
Guardians and other ships like that that's gonna have a bit of weight that's
gonna be able to give you some information if you want to go back and
look at things retrospectively and review some of the logs that might be
giving you a hint to a different location to go and visit or even any
more encounters so yeah here's the encounters that Boyd wakes can forego
age structures last seen you know last time I saw a thyroid and what ship you
last saw it when did you last see one crafting you know again crafting
materials and upgrades so all in all this first section quite interesting I
was pleasantly surprised by all this and it did make me realize that I haven't
done any mining I must get round to that but now you know with the new chapter
for improvements coming out mining is gonna radically change so it's
worthwhile you know not spending too much time in game mining now wait for
chapter 4 to release and then get on with some elite dangerous mining then
but it is quite sobering to see how much money you've spent on ships over your
time within the game moving down now to the session log we've got okay this is
my current session nothing in it at the moment you can see I'm I'm at currently
docked at raviga
let's go back let's look at the archive now here you can see all the voice-acted
the activated logs that I've gone and visited more different settlements
and you can play them back retrospectively which i think is
fantastic so you know I can play that one I'll go
through what one was that in the cooler so where the fair guides attacked a
prison penal colony took all the inmates you know you can go back and look at
those logs historically and see if it's a little tip bits of information that
you may have missed again you know fog weed tech officers logs
logs about fur goods Guardians well it's not much in there and then of course
tourist beacons this looked at the scan messengers you know nothing there okay
so that might need a little bit of work and no doubt that I probably come before
the final release that's all in the archive so moving on as well so you can
see I've got my ranking at the top I can also go straight into hallo me and
change my avatar should I wish to change my avatar quite handy to get it all from
one section there's been a little bit of improvement here on the holo me
interface as well
but nothing too mind-blowing I have to say so let's get out of that lash to say
that and get back in something the sections of the Codex so let's get back
into the main codex interface we've looked at the first one on the left time
to take a look at discoveries now and the news of galaxy map representation
that the discovery section is going to give us you can see everything is broken
off into sections and now has been named the temple Orion in a spur Perseus arm
and the rest of it now as we go through and we look at all the names that have
been given to these sections of the galaxy you'll notice on the left-hand
side as well is that you've got a list of stellar bodies things that have been
discovered in the area now clicking on one of these you're going to be able to
go in and see how many types of a certain object have been discovered and
named and by whom by what commander has been out there has got the credit for
naming finding collecting the information on that particular in this
case stellar body which you know and it maps all the different types of stars
different types of planets as you can see here we've got some some commander
is found a class two giant fantastic we look for terrestrials you know
Waterworld habitable worlds that sort of thing a commander has found those
interesting stuff and good graphical representations that have been lacking
within the game you know the game has been more than capable more than capable
of displaying this and it's great at this new interfaces command as you can
see larva spouts now so these are organic structures
where they found it so you can be able to go and find certain things and visit
things in your ear without going and doing all the searching is fun that is
interesting especially for Halloween now we've been calling these space
pumpkins and we got placeholder title very good you know so a little bit of
work left to do before release and I'm sure they're going to once they get the
names for it clicking on civilization as well they're going sensors the probes
where they've been found by whom that sort of thing so you might go looking
for something like a thyroid device select an area click on you know
structures for example and then it'll it'll point you to where that location
is and it saves you like I've mentioned before going outside the hub of elite
dangerous and we're seeing an awful lot of this within social collaboration
tools within enterprises now instead of going in and out of intranet and
Internet all the time keep yourself located within the game players are less
likely to stray out of the game and will get more enjoyment as all the
information is there moving on to the knowledge base now just the the last
section on the right hand side you're given all the information all the law
that has been out there to now on other sites supplied by frontier and you can
also get that to be played back to you if you're lazy and don't want to read or
you are look at the Codex as you're flying perhaps to hurt an orbital or
another long-haul journey and you fancy a little bit of in-game entertainment
and one of Hance your knowledge of elite dangerous well that's what you're going
to be doing some good tip bits of information there you'll notice there's
a rack slur section I know some people who watch watch the channel will be very
interested in that and also the dark wheel as well look which was the novel
or novella that came to the original 1984 game way back when so it's a bit of
information there as well one thing I think needs to happen on this you need
to have sound controls so yes you can click play but to stop it right you have
to go out back on to the the main menu of the codex back
out of that again onto your right-hand panel and then you can control the sound
and the text-to-speech but it's all been sort of voice acted really well and this
information you know is like I said palatable now to all US commanders
within the game I think that's great so like I said you can get so all this law
look through all this information I think it's right for frontier to be
releasing little tidbits here and there just so you know to enhance certain
areas as discoveries come online as commanders discover them anyway I've
been Ricardo this has been a look at the elite dangerous chapter for Beyond codex
that has come with us now in the beta much more stuff to look at in the beta
the patch notes run to about 16 pages individual pages when I looked at them
onward earlier on an awful lot to cover over the kemon weeks before this
actually goes live but also an awful lot of work the frontier to do as well
before they go live as well placeholders perhaps it a bit more work on the
interface like I mentioned in regards to controlling the text a voice from within
that menu anyway I've been Ricardo thank you much for watching see you soon if
