hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous odyssey
well here i am at a wells class carrier just so happens there's a community goal
happening at the moment which had you bringing stuff to a wells-class carrier in regards to you
know certain items anyway just so happened i was knocking about there and doing some cargo runs
and then as we all know update 8 dropped which now brought interiors allowing you to come in
and walk around the concourse of said mega ship let's take a look
so for those of us who have a pc and have elite dangerous odyssey we are now no strangers to the
interior of stations but when they announced with the patch notes for update 8 a couple of weeks
back that we were going to be seeing the inside of certain mega ships and wells class mega ships at
that and being able to walk around the concourse i was thinking well how's that gonna go really
what's it gonna look like is it gonna be as swish as how they've made the stations
well to be perfectly honest with you i was pleasantly surprised as i mentioned at the
beginning of this video i happened to find myself close to a wells class carrier doing the current
community goal and with that i thought i'd go and take a good look inside the said ship
now the wells class carriers are those that allow you to get in there and dock because
you can't really walk around unless you can dock this does pose a question however
of all the other mega ships that are out there and when are we gonna get to walk around those but hey
let's not cramp f dev style here i am at the pride of bitter wood the particular wells class carrier
or mega ship if you want to call it and i'm disembarking out of my crate mark ii and here i am
stood on the landing pad now in this particular ship i've got to go towards the rear of the ship
to get to the elevators that are going to take me up to the concourse level
this is no strangers to us we've been doing this for months
in regards to odyssey when on a station so it's a comparable experience you approach the lift you
press the button and away you go now these mega ships and the social spaces have been added at the
moment to world's class mega ships these social spaces will include um the following services
into astra then you've got apex interstellar vista genomics and as soon as you walk through
i get that feeling of being inside a service station i don't know what it is
i think it is this lower level okay once you get through the stargate sort of arc as you walk in
you've got a couple of panels that's where you normally find the arcades in a service station
in the uk and then straight through and you can see all the cd bars and restaurants and that sort
of stuff that you normally get to see on your way to the toilet anyway here we are in the bar area
hardly 10 forward from star trek but you know i think it's functional
out the windows you get a great view of the spinning wheels and the habitat rings and
you know the agricultural domes that are there as well there are tables dotted around
there are vacant tables and trays that haven't been cleaned up in regards to this mega ship
and again lovely views out those windows hey so far so good and it's a good hubbub of noise
this was a bit strange why have a hob in the middle of a communal area like this
you know a social area you expected to cook your own pot noodle on there or something
i don't know uh seemed a little bit out of place i mean the drinks dispensers i get it
you know who doesn't need a soda stream every now and again but i i get that that's fine a
microwave perhaps but you know an electric hob we got these in our houses again more booths
everywhere and of course you've got the bar section moving up these stairs right we get
to this much famous escape pod area and i'll get to those at the end of the video these escape pods
are available at the mega ships to cover any rare situations whereby players might find themselves
trapped on a mega ship and unable to get back to their own ship i suppose if there's not um
a taxi service you could get stuck for some reason or if you just jump into a taxi we've
got pioneer supplies in regards to this we've also got vistagenomics pioneer supplies like i
mentioned a bartender frontline solutions so yeah quite good you know and it was an easy addition i
think it was a quick win to put in um a lot of the artifacts have been reused in regards to this as
you would imagine but that all lends itself to a continuous universe you know something that
we're familiar with there's there's no reason to suggest that a module like apex interstellar for
example would be any different here on a mega ship as it would be on a station or an outpost
a few graphical updates as well when you look through that door you know
what's behind the desk what's going on there what's in his little room
and of course you've got the familiar lifts for apex interstellar as well now this ship
it's parked in a war zone at the moment so i was quite surprised that there wasn't any frontline
solutions here but hey you can't have everything and it stands to have a good look around
this concourse level of the wells class mega ship so as i promised time to go and have a look now
at these escape pods and what happens so managed to get myself all sorted out
i've had a good look around time to get myself up to the escape pod so with that up the stairs
we go without crashing in too many things in third person i am terrible at this i really am
and here is the escape pod well isn't that wonderful look at that so what do you do
with it so it does give you a nice little warning when you approach the escape pod
now we haven't seen escape pods in elite dangerous since the original games which is great
you know start escape you will leave the station i pressed it the screen went blank and it popped
me out as a server crash hey that probably could be just down to the fact it's new so i've been
ricardo thanks very much for watching it's been a brief look around the concourse and social space
on the wells cast carrier mega ships hope you found it interesting i certainly have thanks
very much for watching like and subscribe if you haven't already done so and i'll see you soon
you
