hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous well with the changes in update 14
we've now seen the Galaxy put on a war footing so I thought I'd take a little bit of time to
discuss what's going on with the Galaxy map well there is some new icons which mean a few different
things you can see the X's dotted around these are systems that a thyroid controlled because
they're green right but are also got an X next one that means they've been abandoned
by civilization or human civilization clicking on the thyroid War information icon on the left
hand side you can see it tells you that maelstrom1 tyrannis is Maelstrom is now
affecting 29 systems in the elite dangerous Galaxy and there's a little 29 next to it
now you can only assume that there's going to be more of these maelstroms coming with
the rest of the so-called thyroids or entities hitting the bubble whenever they start to hit
the bubble so we're going to see a lot more of this we can also see that as we zoom out the
moment they're quite clustered around the main Maelstrom that's in the Hades sector fb-n-b7-6
now we can see that there are 20 third grade controlled systems nine in the current Invasion
State as well so all dotted around so green means thyroid controlled orange means thyroid Invasion
and the thyroid Maelstrom is depicted by the red cool so good stuff what's this all mean for us
well it means that if you don't do something about it these thyroids are going to start spreading and
perhaps your favorite engineers and things like that will start to become inaccessible jumping
into some of the systems straight off the bat will mean that you'll get interdicted and it'll
be a hostile interdiction as well other icons of note are those where there are rescue ships
um with the little blue and green cross like in kawas and Samus you can see them on the map
and these are going to be a source of missions for rescuing survivors and bases and other stricken
ships and places like that so when you first go into this this map when you first boot update
14 first download it it also means yeah great you read through it all you don't really take it all
in because you're excited you want to get into the game and see what the thyroid's been doing
so if you want to know how to get to it you click on the thyroid icon on the left hand
side and click on help and it will take you all the way through it which is great
this thyroid Maelstrom well yeah look how many systems around it is actually affecting
it's quite an impact and with more on the way you know it's just gonna get worse
it's all well and good but you get yourself into a system map like 63 eridani that was
featured in the opening FMV sequence and you can see those nice crosses where settlements
have been abandoned there but you've got one there with a red alien symbol over it the port
is under attack gallios inheritance and that was quite heavily featured and you can see in the
picture in picture it's on fire there are thyroid Scouts bouncing around not only have you got them
to contend with you've also got to contend with gravitational forces of the planet you've also
got to contend with the fact that it might be a terrible pilot and would crash into the ground
because you get a little bit too close to that hard deck the good thing about this is though is
that you can actually request the dock at the settlement and the settlement Will Repair you
which I thought was quite good and handy because there's a hell of a lot of thyroid Scouts there
now as the other in-game areas we've got the good old stations the outposts right and the combat
zones that are going on around them you've got the quintessential thyroid green gift around it
um however it is being swarmed by Scouts as well so that is quite good and just like the surface
planet you can get in there give them a good pasting um with your anti-sino weapons of choice
but this time you haven't got to worry about the ground because in space in it um I enjoyed this
more than the ground one I mean the ground one was sort of visually spectacular I don't know
about anybody else I was kind of hoping for some ground thyroids was I expecting too much you know
I mean what's what what's this given Odyssey players so far is what I'm saying I've been too
salty but like you know there's kind of nothing here that anybody else so far could have had
that's all I'm saying but anyway that was a quick look at the map quick look at the ground combat
zone and also the Outpost combat zone I've been Ricardo thanks for watching hope you enjoyed the
video like And subscribe if you haven't already done so and go kill some thyroids catch you later
