hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous well we finally made it
into the Maelstrom yes these clouds of caustic Guff that have been plaguanous
and forcing us back with a thyroid pulse wave well now we've able to
unlock the thyroid pulse wave neutralizer it allows us to take a bit of a glimpse inside
spoilers alert
yes folks with update 15 being to be able to get into that Maelstrom with the pulse
wave neutralizer has been at a game changer and what a beautiful place it is once you're
in there once you get through and you keep on boosting and you manage to get through
the pulse waves which is a knack unto itself
you'll see the Titan the thyroid Titan inside now this has got more than a passing resemblance
to the thyroid bases that we all should be familiar with if we've played the game quite
some time those bases or ships that have crashed landed and being picked apart by the scavengers
on certain planets well they've been here for absolute ages now were they basis were they
ships well if this is a ship or a base whatever it is it's in the middle of this Maelstrom now
I'm in my caustic Condor big old tank of a ship got all the limpets got all the multi-limpic
controllers I've got caustic sinks I've also got heat sinks as well and you can see I've also got
the thyroid pulse weed neutralizer we thought we'd go in and do a little bit of exploration
a little bit to examine what's going on with this thyroid Titan I hope you know it's a thyroid Titan
because there are turrets that pop up every now and again on this ship and as a result of which
you scan them and it says Titan turret so it's a third going tighten them and also you can see
these small orifices or docking ports just like that now I thought well hey perhaps we could land
perhaps you could gain access inside of that no dice you can't but staying here long enough
and it'll spew forth the new thyroid variant the thyroid Hunter which has been called the
glaive now it's quite interesting with the glaive because the glaive and that shape but
Krill isn't it that good old 70s cross between Conan the Barbarian
and Star Wars and they spew forth these Hunters as well so that is their egress point
unfortunately you can get in there I tried to land try to force my way in
try to drive the ship in wasn't gonna happen absolutely no dice [Music]
now it's all about running cold in this area as well you can see my ship has got 16 Heat
and I seem to be doing okay so perhaps a beam laser with thermal vent will do you
okay too I've also got a relic an unidentified Relic on board and also a thyroid sensor I also
had another commander in the males jump running interference from me drawing the
thyroids away from the central structure so I was able to get some of these shots
either way there's lots of things to explore loads of things to explore
now this anaconda's got the additional headlamps from the construction ship kit
and that's been fixed in update 15 so you don't incur double caustic damage
the sofa those docking ports those egress ports that spew forth that thyroid Hunter
it really is something so we're gonna back off away from this and go up to what we think is
the top of the structure and you can see the turrets the tyrannis Titan turrets firing off
now there you go Titan dual fire turret oh it has got a bit of a passing resemblance as far
as I'm concerned too the end base of Battlestar Galactica which was fantastic the Cylon base they
all went up against and also you've got to say it right the ships from Independence Day
there you go there you've got a bioengineered turret a thyroid Titan dual fire turret now
you can destroy them and shoot them as well so you know you can take these things out or
at least take the turrets out is this going to be something like what you do with the capital
ships take out all the turrets then take out something else and then Cloud disperses and the
Titan disperses I don't know perhaps that gameplay hasn't been unlocked yet Perhaps we'll do that on
a up-and-coming stream and see what we can do but it's all about keeping the temperature of
your ship nice and cool so there you go there's a nice old turret there you can see this Fame
ship anomalies being detected more thyroids are jumping in to see what the hell this guy
is the human what's this human doing so here we go we're moving up now lots of spiky Towers
I'm assuming this is the top because at the bottom of this it does look like we're there's
there's the orifices where it can beam things up like what we've seen at the Barnacle site it's
all very spiky it's all looking very you know bioengineered it's all looking very mountainous
so having a good look around as well again we've got more turrets there on the left
hand side and I'm using my night vision to accentuate all the detail on this [Music]
so for science let's get cracking um not much you can do can't really land on it
you can't get out of your ship you can see my build and what I've got going on there
I've got Recon limpets and all the rest of it on the go so we're gonna see if we can
get any additional information but I weren't at this stage of the game you probably can't
that turret is a very good graphic though has to be said a very good graphic and once you're
in around the Titan you don't seem to be sucking in any additional caustic damage
now there's also materials floating around corrosive mechanisms but as we get on we do
find additional materials as well which you can shave off this this new thyroid variant
so again we got more turrets we're moving on nice and slowly [Music] I think we're
gonna get around the other side of the Titan down through that Gap there and see what we can find
now it's quite interesting as well that in the center of this Maelstrom is an asteroid field
but what a spectacular View an amazing spectacular view Frontier done a fantastic job on this
let me know in the chat what you're thinking about it
is it something that you've gone in and done is it something that you're going
to do you're just waiting for a ship to be engineered to a point where you can manage it
so we're going to move on down this one particular area and you can
he's doing some funky stuff in here keeping all those thyroids away so
we can get some good shots and some good research
now down here we've got another one of those orifices that will spew forth the thyroid
Hunters so they're everywhere they're dotted all around I would say the midsection um of the ship
I tell you what I'm still getting that that Cylon vibe that bioengineered rondi Moore
Battlestar Galactica Cylon vibe now as we get to the bottom right there's even more orifices
so here's the ship they have a good nose about there's one just off to the right hand side
as we're taking in all the lovely sort of like
and this here right this seems to be like some sort of thermal exhaust port there it is look
see it's opening up it's glowing yellow there's some sort of like thermal gift coming out from it
[Music] golish is quite good
so whether all that firing of lasers is generating more heat
um producing all these thyroid interceptors and hunters and glaves and all that sort of
thing is causing heat I don't know perhaps that's where you fire loads of missiles
we don't know still early days but graphically absolutely astounding
there also seems to be material as well that you can shave off these ships as I've mentioned
now looking around it's not the only orifice that we've seen
there's all little barnacles uh carbuncles and stuff like that that you can shave off as well
whether you can do that with a laser and here right this is what happens when the thyroid
pulse fires when you're inside so we're actually inside the pulse being generated
absolutely amazing now that seems to be the main
Port orifice right in the center of the underneath
of the ship well we're assuming it's the underneath of the ship
and you know I was kind of hoping that we might be able to have done a little bit of
Odyssey gameplay in part the ship up on the ledge and sort of like
got ourselves in whether that will come later or not I really don't know
so I'm getting a little bit of beef on the ship
again we're going to give it a closer look at that thermal port
it's getting a little bit closer
it's quite regular as it sort of like shoots off the heat
I'm taking a little bit of damage here as well look you know I need
to get some some repairs then I think too desperate just yet
all right let's get to the external camera it's going to open up any
second you can see it glowing there you go it opens all the heat comes out
so it's definitely some sort of exhaust Port now whether or not you've got to fire things in
there or what I just don't know I really don't know that's something we're gonna have to try
and discover as as the game goes on I think there's going to be lots to discover as well
closes up again all good stuff
through that using their repair Olympics to repair the ship as we just sit around
and that could be its main weapon you can see where I'm talking about you know why
why have I got a similarity in my head from Independence Day it kind of is a bit isn't it
their main weapon there you can see all other interceptors sort of like floating around
but it just looks nasty it looks evil it looks
like it's just going to reach down and pluck you out of space
you know it really is something
so there you have it this is my first look at the thyroid Titan in the maelstroms it's well
worth getting a ship engineered and getting in here and having a good look yourself there are
certain things as well you can notice like small markings tattoos Insignia on the Titan itself
being lucky enough to be inside as well where when the main weapon fires it's certainly a
spectacular light show and of course you can shave a different different materials
off it which I dare say are going to be used to engineer some sort of other module that we're
going to require so don't forget to bring the Olympics thanks very much for watching
check back for more Elite dangerous update 15 and Maelstrom videos in the future I'll see you soon
