Elite: Dangerous

[Maxxx]

Neuer Sneak Peek:

 

@STARMEDIC, ich will dir ja wirklich nicht zu nahe treten, aber hast du in letzter Zeit deine Augen mal untersuchen lassen? ....  Was nicht??  ....  Ok, dann ist genau jetzt ein guter Zeitpunkt dafür

[chueche]

Hey, nichts gegen Stuntcarracer, das Spiel war seiner Zeit weit voraus und das Handling und die Grafik waren genial. Wenn ich nur an das Schadensmodell denke...

[Hell-G]

Hmm, ich hab ja damals auch Elite "gebacken" aber.... ich fand das damals sooo langweilig.

 

Ich versuch das jetzt übrigens neutral zu sagen (ohne SC rosarote Brille)

 

Alles in dem Spiel dauert sooo lange. Sogar beim Kurve fliegen wenn man käpft und dann immer den kleinen grünen Punkt in der Mitte behalten... boah nee!

 

Auch wenn das Cockpit, die Sonnen und einige andere Sachen echt super hübsch aussehen... ich mag auch die Musik und den Sound im allgemeinen aber das Spiel hat ein massives Content Problem.

 

Und alles was ich bis jetzt von Horizons gesehen habe, haut mich jetzt auch nicht wirklich vom Hocker.

 

Trotz all der Neuerungen - Ich glaube das ED Universum bekommen die Devs einfach nicht mehr zu richtigem Leben erweckt.

Dafür fehlt einfach das ... keine Ahnung... das richtige Feeling. Diese Fraktionskriege, die irgendwie nur in Texten erwähnt werden.

Man hat einfach nicht das Gefühl teil von etwas zu sein... aber vielleicht geht es auch nur mir so...

 

Und die neuen Planeten in ED Horizons sind auch echt mal NICHT hübsch. Ja schoon cool, dass sie prozedurale Generierung haben.

Aber das sind auch nur einfach leblose Voxel Brocken mit random 08/15 Gegnern darauf und hier und da mal ner zufällig gespawnten Basis^^

 

"Der Weltraum... Unendliche Weiten... das sind die Abenteuer von Elite Dangerous. "

 

Für Einzelspieler mit Explorerdrang super aber für alles andere halt so garnicht,

 

Jetzt dürfen die ED Fans mich gerne verbrennen.

@ Hell-G

Seh ich genau so. Ich werd dem Ding mit Horizons noch eine Chance geben, aber die Hoffnung hält sich in Grenzen.

 

Ich hab ja nichts dagegen, dass man im Weltraum lange Wege hat – aber am Endes des Weges sollte dann halt mehr sein als ein paar bunte Kugeln, die denen in den letzten 100 Systemen verdächtig ähnlich sehen. Die Konzeptbilder und Trailer waren bis jetzt leider immer das Spannendste an Elite.

[Maxxx]

Keiner verbrennt hier irgend jemanden

Und eigentlich müssten alle froh sein, dass nicht nur an einer Space Sim gearbeitet wird.

 

Das alles "lange" dauert in ED stimmt sicher, wobei ich nicht denke dass bei SC alles "schnell" gehen wird.

 

Die "kleinen" Jäger in ED sind zb. wenn im richtigen Bereich geflogen nicht viel träger als eine ähnlich große Super Hornet. Die großen Schiffe sind sehr träge, ja. Das wird bei SC aber nicht viel anders sein.

 

Ich hoffe einige von euch werden von Star Citizen nicht allzu sehr enttäuscht werden, ich bin absolut überzeugt davon das es um einiges besser wird als Elite, aber es wird genauso wie dieses ein Spiel bleiben. Ob das SC Universum am ende ein wirklich lebendigeres sein wird als das von Elite wird sich in 1-2 Jahren auch erst mal zeigen müssen

 

Wenn das Clan-System, an dem sie bereits arbeiten, in Elite endlich kommt wird das in Sachen Lebendigkeit sicher einen ordentlichen Schub bringen.

Eigene System-Fraktionen haben ja ca. 40 Clans bereits bekommen.

Wer ein belebtes ED sehen will, einfach mal im Open nach Amarak, Alrai, Orrere oder 78 Ursae Majoris fliegen. Wer es am Abend zwischen 18 und 0 Uhr in Amarak und Orrere leben zwei mal hintereinander zur Station und wieder weg schafft, dem gratuliere ich schon mal von Herzen

 

Die beta 1.5 kommt übrigens am 9.11.15. Die beta Horizons am 24.11.15.

 

Das first Person in Elite soll in Session 3 kommen, also Mitte bis Ende 2016.

Zusammenfassung Q&A mit David Braben von vorgestern, aus dem ED Forum. Quelle

When is the Beta for Horizons?

The beta will be done in 2 stages. The beta for 1.5 will start week commencing 9th of November and then 2.0 beta will be on the 24th.

Will you be able to hire NPC wingmen?

Yes, with the ship launched fighters and multi-crew you will be able to have them as NPC. At some point in Season 2.

Will there be a planetary map?

Yes, soon, it will be a schematic map.

Will rings cast shadows on the planet's surface?

Yes it is coming but they don't know when, but they very much want to do it.

Will we see the orrery map in Season 2?

I hope so, my guess is it will happen in Season 2 but probably towards the back end.

Are we going to see a system in place for larger groups to organise?

They are already making moves in the direction with the player groups, such as Fuel Rats and The Code, and player minor factions. They will continue to move more into that direction, but it will not be done in the same way as most games.

What kind of equipment can we craft?

Some very simple things in 2.0, but the main details will come later

Tier 2/persistent NPCs?

They absolutely want to add them in, they will be gradually introduced. (probably more later on in the season *my addition*)

Will Occulus DK2 work with the SRV?

Yes it will.

Do you think motion sickness will be a problem?

You have to be careful because if you flip the SRV or crash it and it spins out of control, then you will probably feel quite sick. Otherwise probably not.

How about a shark teeth paintjob for the Anaconda?

David Braben really wants it, he will ask why there isn't one already

What about the Asp Scout?

It's like a cut down version of the Asp, more like the one from Frontier or the Original Elite. The shape is different to the current one, without the fins.

Bounty hunting, Trade and Piracy are still the same as at release when will they be updated?

That's not true. They are constantly being improved upon and although the fact that you can pirate hasn't changed, the way you do it, they way you come across other ships, same with bounty hunting, it's got richer and richer and the variation you encounter has got richer. We've brought in new professions and those have each been improved, we saw in the last updates some big changes to mining, which I think improve it and a lot of people have been very positive about that. So I think with all of these things, it's getting better and it's getting better by degrees. The thing that is going to change more throughout Season 2 is the stories behind and why you are doing things like the Bounty Hunting.

How is the turret controlled by the HOTAS?

The controls are a separate configuration. Do it however you like, you can map the SRV to a stick, but as with all the things we have a beta coming and you can use that to feedback.

Will the list of astronomical objects increase i.e Comets, accretion disks around black holes?

Not all black holes have accretion discs, they would need another star feeding the accretion disc, but it is something I would love to do. They will be added over time and they are on a list. Comets are in the simulations, but getting them to look good and interact with gameplay is the most important thing and so they will come. Medium size asteroids "potatoes" are in Season 2, you can see them with 1.5 just not be able to go down to them without Horizons

*warning troll question* Elite Dangerous it is MMORPG?

The problem is different people mean different things by saying MMOs. I think we're massive by most measures, all have instancing the question is where do you set the number. We have 32 plus NPCs, we could go higher with less NPCs and if everyone had great reliable connections, even higher if we were on LAN. If that's what you want it to be then it is.

Do you consider support for Force Feedback joysticks?

Actually that would be a really good thing to do, yes we should do it.

Did you ever imagine/hope Elite would look like it does now in 1984?

Yes. As with any game before it's made is perfect in your head, it's the practical things that restrain you. We're getting ever closer, is it perfect? Of course not, but it will always get better.

Are the planetary outposts/starports procedurally generated?

There's quite a range of outposts and starports. They're quite big and there's quite a lot of variation between them. The land around the starports changes the feel of them and so it feels like even more variation than in space stations. With all of this there isn't intimate variations, but they are laid out in lots of different variations. It's not just starports there are also things like secret bases you can discover.

*Question David asked himself* Can I attack them in single player?

Of course you can, if you have a deep ravine you can come in in your SRV under the gun turrets and then you only have the smaller defenses to worry about. You can take out a generator, see all the lights go down and it takes out the guns (not all bases will only have one generator), then you can call your ship in go in the ship and then do the next stage...

Is there a plan to improve the seamless experience by improving the transition phases?

Yes, the transition phases have actually been reducing. Some people we know experience long transitions, it's to do partly with where they are in the world and partly to do with their connections and how many people are in the session. The transitions as you come in from space is seamless. In theory the Hyperspace transitions are relatively seamless but as it's pulling in data as well as network that can be slower for some people.

Will missions on Bulletin Boards be given by NPCs made using the character creator?

No to start with, but using the CC for NPCs is definitely going to happen.

The Keelback what kind of ship is it?

It's a Lakon ship and more to come on that The idea is based on a Type 6 but it has more weaponry.

How are the DDF's near god like powers coming along?

I know, it's something I do feel bad about, the idea is that the underlying control over the background sim the DDF people would have some kind of control over that. I don't have a good answer for that so it's a straight apology at some point there will be something to do with that but I can't say when, so I'm sorry.

Will you consider introducing a setting to tone down the head bobbing in the SRV?

If you are the one doing the movement then it feels more natural than watching a stream of someone doing it. I wouldn't get too worried about it (*my addition* if it really is bad for some people then I'm sure someone will take it on board)

We have rumours of a high end Fer De Lance can you confirm or deny?

*David was completely non plussed as I believe the person who asked this question was just confused by the ship description*

One word comment on Thargoids?

Well...

Will capital ships be adjusted to make them more fun to play with?

I agree we're not making enough of them. There is more to come.

When will we see asteroid stations?

They will come, we don't have a time for them, hopefully at the back end of Season 2, but no guarantee.

Will we have more CG to expand the human bubble?

I really think that these are exciting, so yes.

Are you going to play Star Citizen?

Yes, I'm looking forward to playing Star Citizen

Is it possible to conquer planetary bases?

There's lots of missions and things you can do to get things from then, but we won't have you having your own planetary bases, not yet anyway.

Will we see NPC SRVs and NPC ships around the planet's surface?

NPC SRVs are planned but unlikely for Season 2, ships yes.

Will we see game API in Season 2?

I know they're looking at it. Obviously we're worried about cheating and apps that will dial our servers and make them go slowly, but it's certainly something that they are looking at.

Could it be possible to add a credit transfer feature, maybe when a commander reaches a certain rank?

There is already a transfer feature in buying gold or platinum for example and then dropping it for another commander to pick up. It's quite easy to transfer hundreds of thousands of credits in a short time, so that's why we haven't thought about it as a priority. It just has that air of exploit around it if you can do it in large amounts.

Any plans on increasing the 32 player cap?

We could increase it very easily, but it's the experience. There's a lot of data being exchanged and we're constantly reviewing it.

*Troll question* Jettison all cargo why?

Well, you don't have to do it.

Will passenger gameplay be added in Season 2 or after?

Passenger gameplay is planned, but I can't remember when it's scheduled for *me: aaarrrrgggghhhh, biggest tease of the night*

Can you tell us anything about the Cutter and Corvette?

They are both a bit bigger than the Anaconda, a bit longer and they are more capable, have bigger hardpoints, and they're more expensive and yes they both do fit through the docking slot but it's a bit tight.

What will explorer's encounter on planet's surfaces 20,000Ly from Sol?

There will be things to collect and other things to find, but I don't want to spoil anything. You will find more exotic things further away than you will closer.

Will see missions transition between space and the planet's surface?

We have talked about it, there are complexities, it is certainly something that we are looking at.

Will another specialised internal slot be added to the Planetary Approach Suite and will the Srv take up an internal slot?

The PAS will be able to be put into every ship. The SRV takes up 4t of Cargo Space.

what rank is needed for the Federal Corvette?

I don't know

Will there be a multi source lighting?

It's on the list, yes it is something that we should sort. It might only come in, in High and Ultra.

How will commander faces be visible to others?

You will be able to see them as long as the canopy is intact.

Will there be more differentiation between systems and stations i.e a poor system with a run down station?

More of this is coming, I'm not sure when, I don't think it's in 2.0

What types of SRV will be released over the course of season 2?

I don't know off hand, but the first ones will be similar variants of the current ones, but other will follow. They will do different things.

Ship Naming was a kick starter promise, when will we be able to do this?

Was it, oh dear. It's something that everyone wants, we will do it.

Are there things related to the Thargoids coming in Season 2?

There are things related to the Thargoids coming in Season 2.

Is there a bookmarking or visited systems history coming?

Ummmmm, I don't know, sorry.

Model kits from the ED ship range?

We do have models coming, but there's not kits.

Are there any plans to include some kind of glactipedia?

That would be lovely, but it's a lot of work to collate and keep it up to date. We have some things in house, but it's something we're looking at doing and bringing the story more to the forefront of the game.

Nvidia VR SLI?

Not 100% sure, but I think that it runs fine, I was using the Vive on a 980

Will we see an equivalent to the large cities under domes we saw in Frontier?

There are ever bigger settlements coming, there are things in 2.0. Big cities will not be in 2.0 but they are coming.

Will we be able to deploy our SRV inside stations?

Currently you can't because of the way you press down to select to deploy the SrV, so you can't do that because of Station Services menu, but aside from driving around you pad and driving off the side there's nothing useful to do.

How will the instancing of Orbital Cruise down to the planet's surface work?

I better not answer that question as I will get it wrong as I'm not sure where it's making the transition, but there is also the issue of not everyone being able to get down to the planet's surface. There is instancing on the surface.

Can you tell us about walking around our ships and sleeping quarters?

No I'm afraid I can't, not happening in Season 2. We do have rough layouts of the ships.

Other non Thargoid species?

Yes

When will we see the Krait?

I want to see the Krait as well.

*couldn't hear this question properly but I think it was* Why can you not share exploration data in a wing?

I though we were already doing this, so I'll talk to the designers.

When will there be more CQC maps?

There are more coming, I think, and then there's more coming later.

Any update on the SC frame rate drop?

I will ask after the stream.

 

Hmm, ich hab ja damals auch Elite "gebacken" aber.... ich fand das damals sooo langweilig.

 

Ich versuch das jetzt übrigens neutral zu sagen (ohne SC rosarote Brille)

 

Alles in dem Spiel dauert sooo lange. Sogar beim Kurve fliegen wenn man käpft und dann immer den kleinen grünen Punkt in der Mitte behalten... boah nee!

 

Auch wenn das Cockpit, die Sonnen und einige andere Sachen echt super hübsch aussehen... ich mag auch die Musik und den Sound im allgemeinen aber das Spiel hat ein massives Content Problem.

Für die Beta brauchst du Alpha oder Beta Zugang.

[Maxxx]

Die Horizons Beta wird am 30.11 zum Download bereit stehen.

Für Horizons haben sich die System Voraussetzungen geändert. Nun wird ein 64Bit OS, ein quad Core, 6Gb Ram und eine DX 11 fähige GPU vorausgesetzt!

Session 1 (ED 1.5) wird weiterhin mit 32Bit OS, dual Core, 2Gb Ram und DX 9 GPU spielbar bleiben.

[T-Rocc]

Bin gespannt wie ein Pflitzebogen, gerade am runterladen der 2.0 Beta.

[Maxxx]

Bin gestern bereits einige Runden mit dem Buggy durch die Gegend gedüst. Macht schon Spass!

Der Handel zwischen Stationen und Planeten/Mond Basen ist recht langwierig, da muss dann der Profit wirklich passen.

Werde mir das heute Abend mal genauer ansehen

[Carpentarius]

Ich aktivier den Thread mal wieder zum Leben!

 

Bin jetzt auch mal auf Elite Dangerous gestoßen, hatte bislang aber sowas von garnichts damit am Hut.

 

Ich überlege ob ich mir das für zwischendurch zulegen soll?

Ist das überhaupt was für zwischendurch?

 

Hab ja nur 1-2mal pro Woche zeit, wenn überhaupt, das ich was anstarte.

 

Bin aber mal von den ganzen Trailern begeistert, nur etwas verschreckt von einigen Kommentaren hier, mit langeweile und Einsteigerfeindlichkeit...

 

Haben wir hier im Forum noch ein paar "Aktive" ED zocker, bzw könnt ihr mir bei der Entscheidung etwas helfen?

 

LG

Stefan

Wenn man alles machen will, ist Elite schon sehr zeitaufwändig. Böse Zungem sagen "grinden" dazu. Aber in welchem Spiel ist das anders? Wenn man Material braucht muss man "arbeiten" und etwas tun. Wie bei jedem MMO. Elite ist aber geil 

[RockOut]

Ich finde es sehr langatmig. Es dauert ewig bis man mal auf einem Mond gelandet ist. Man braucht auch viele Stunden um einigermaßen Credits zu erwirtschaften um sich andere Schiffe oder Asrüstung leisten zu können.

Aber es ist relativ realistisch. Man kann nur auf Monden landen , nicht auf Planeten mit Atmosphäre.

Ich habe mich oft über übermächtige NPCs geärgert die dich grundlos abschießen. Im online Modus kann dir dass dann auch mit Mitspielern passieren. Bum und weg....2 Std Gameplay umsonst.

Elite ist ein cooles Spiel, man muss es aber suchten und sich wirklich darauf einlassen. Dann macht es auch Spaß. Ich finde es ist nichts für nebenbei.

[Carpentarius]

Danke für die Antworten!

Ich werd mir das noch gut überlegen und ein wenig reinlesen.

Ich bekomm auch schon das gefühl das es für 1-2 Abende zu je 3 Std zu wenig ist.

Vielleicht teste ichs mal aus wenn es sehr günstig ist.

 

Auf jeden Fall Danke und schönen Abend noch

Lass Dich nicht verschrecken, denn für Elite braucht man auch nicht mehr Zeit als für jedes andere MMO. Star Citizen wird da nicht anders werden und wer glaubt, dass Geld verdienen und Kämpfe im fertigen SC so schnell bleibt ist sicherlich schief gewickelt.

Aber zurück zu Elite. Du startest dort mit einem kleinen Schiff und arbeitest Dich langsam hoch. Die großen Schiffe zu verdienen dauert entsprechend, das ist richtig, aber was wäre Elite für ein Spiel wenn es schneller ginge. Lukrative Handelsrouten wollen erst einmal gefunden, Rohstoffe entdeckt werden. Legt man sich mit einem 20.000 Credits Schiff mit einem 2 Mio. Credits Schiff an, darf man sich nicht wundern, wenn man in der Suppe landet ... aber auch da dürfte SC nicht anders werden.

In jedem Fall verfügt Elite über ein Flugmodell, was (besonders mit dem Joystick oder einem HOTAS-System) einen heiden Spaß macht. Außerdem finde ich es interessant, dass es keinen "Sicherheitsgurt" gibt und man bei Fehlern auch schon mal ordentlich bezahlen muss. Ein Konzept, mit dem die jüngeren Spieler nicht mehr wirklich vertraut sind ... man kann in Elite wirklich verlieren und zwar ordentlich.

Jeder, der beim Landeanflug in einer Raumstation schon mal den Hotkey für die Schub-Umkehr mit dem für den Nachbrenner verwechselt hat oder schlicht mit zu viel Schub hinein geflogen ist und zusehen musste wie die Rückwand trotz vollem Gegenschub immer näher kommt, weiß wovon ich rede. ;-)

Kurz; Elite hat einen gehobener Schwierigkeitsgrad und fordert eine gewisse Frust-Toleranz, macht aber viel Spaß wenn man sich darauf einlässt. Vor allem ist es im Moment aber die einzig existierende Spacesim die nicht mehr im Alpha- oder Early-Access-Status ist.

[Carpentarius]

Danke B.J.

 

Du hast mich jetzt echt motiviert es mir doch mal anzuschauen!

Und für 24,99 bekommt man ja doch echt was geboten

[RockOut]

Welche Nicknames habt ihr in Elite ?

Ich bin dort auch Rockout.

[White Wolf]

Jetzt hat mich B.J. doch mal genötigt, hier was zu schreiben... :-)

Ja, Elite ist definitiv was für einen Fan. Mich findest du dort unter Ben Wolf Romach [UGC] - darfst mich gerne in die friendlist aufnehmen.

Ich möchte dir gleich die deutsche Community www.elitedangerous.de ans Herz legen - sehr nette Leute, sehr hilfsbereit und informative Seite.

Wenn du mehr der PvE Spieler bist, bietet sich die Elitedangerous Gruppe an. Wir sehen uns ingame - fly save

 

[Carpentarius]

Gut, dann ist es klar.

Ich werds mir morgen mal runterladen. Vielleicht komm ich dann noch dazu das ich es starte und meine sticks kalibriere. Eventuell noch ein bisschen umschauen.

die Comunity Page werd ich auf jeden Fall aufsuchen!

 

Danke Leute!

[Frankyb]

Und bitte vergesst nicht die Wichtigste Regel in Elite.

 

Fliege nur die Schiffe.....die Du dir auch leisten kannst zu verlieren.

 

Ich habe es nur zu oft erlebt....das Spieler sich  Hochgespielt hatten auf eine z.b. Annaconda....aber als der Schadensfall eintrat.....nicht genügend Geld mehr hatten um die Versicherung zu zahlen.

Das ende vom Lied war....sie mussten wieder mit dem Anfängerschiff fliegen.

[Lanthan]

Gibt es eigentlich eine Story in ED oder ist das einfach eine offene Welt in der man für sein Auskommen sorgen muss?

Eine eigentliche Story gibt es dort nicht.

 

Zwar tut sich was in Sachen " Außerirdische " aber in weit das gehen wird........Keine Ahnung bislang

 

Daher heißt es.....sich selber ein ziel suchen und darauf hinarbeiten.

[KaffeRausch]

Bei dem Spiel ist wohl Joystick Pflicht?

Mit der Maus kann ich nur Hoch/Runter und Links/rechts Rollen. diese Steuerung ist ja Scheiße.

Kein Links und rechts...

Hört sich schon mal spannend an.

Was ist eigentlich mit dieser riesigen Space Qualle? Ist das nur was fürs Auge, oder hat die auch ne kleine Story?
