- Finally here! A 3.0 ship scale video. It contains all the flyable ships from 3.0, the fighters, the three main Thargoid variants, the SRV and a few real world examples to help show the scale. Enjoy!
The cool Thargoid logo was from ArithonUK. Thanks hugely for that! www.elite-dange...
Music is Tchaikovsky - Waltz of the Flowers
Lets be honest the banana is clearly the superior ship
Using the Elite Dangerous ship names formula a banana would be a Yellow Snake.
The jump range is only 3 feet though
@@sammiches2555 but the attack damage is through the roof with the added stun from hitting the floor
@@aonodensetsu yeh more like through the floor.
with a mass of 100 grams, its extremely lightweight, maneuverable, and its jump range is about as far as you can throw it.
I like that you included reference objects from real life in this one. The Type-9 compared to the ISS really drove home to me how massive these ships are...
James Gilmore The scale truly baffled me! I knew they were big, but it really surprised me to learn that my "small and nimble" dogfighting ship was larger than a gosh darn passenger plane!
Connor Walters Which one is your dogfighting ship?
Jedinate6 Asp Explorer, but in all seriousness, it's more of a multi purpose.
Jedinate6 Probably should put dogfighting in quotations.
Connor Walters And my railgun- happy always overheating chieftain is the same size as well. I didn’t expect it to be the size of a fer-de-lance, and truthfully expected it to be smaller overall.
Asp “scout”
The size of a 747
That space loach really helps give a good sense of scale. I'd be lost without it.
TIL when I'm mining in my T10 I'm basically driving the ISS around. Cool!
Just with WAY bigger thrusters!
I've been flying around in a Cutter, I thought it was about the size of a 747...did not expect about the size of the bloody space station. Imagine that ship flying over head past an airport.
Here’s another thing: the ISS is the same size as an American Football field.
BlazeTheGryphon7x7 no one cares about American Football.
*Jesus was a Sausage* || I play Elite Dangerous, I do not care about American Football, either. However, everyone else in my state (Alabama) does.
The 8 people who disliked got stuck in the mailslot...
Or were the Sidey in the mailslot when a Type 9 boosted through
Do people still do that? :/ when you've been flying as long as I have you forget that some folks are still new to the game. :)
Beluga liner does better, get a python and a beluga on the mail slot...
Scan detected
*Boosts into slot*
*Crash into wall*
Fine issued for illicit cargo
Or they noticed the lack of Type-6...
Lakon ships are super thicc
Thé Rex EXTRA THICC
Lakon : Big, Round and Juicy ™
Bwahaha! Big boneded!
ASP X?
Gimme dat type 9 heavy
So the Beluga, a ship spcifically built for passengers, and which is hugely bigger than a 20th century 747 can o ly carry a fraction of the passengers it could carry. Economy class in elite must be equivelant to flying first or business.
MatchBreakers I think there’s huge banquet rooms, shopping centers, and entertainment spaces inside.
When we get space legs i except this off a Beluga now. But its going to be copy pasted seating and sleeping modules.
Speaking of first class, I'm at I sola prospect in the brestla system, but it won't sell me a first class cabin. Anyone know what's going on?(I sola prospect is a planetary base which sells you every ship and module in the game, if you didn't know)
They only come in size 4 and up, so you might be trying to put it in too small a slot, thats the only explanation i can think off.
MatchBreakers well they gotta have cargo room for all that salt you're carrying
One of these days that damn thing is gonn-HOLYSHIT IT MOVED. SPACELOACH WANTS BLOOD!
The Corvette and cutter are almost bigger than a Nimitz class aircraft carrier?! Jesus.
They are actually much closer to the uss Pensacola in size so they are more closer to a light cruiser built in the 1930's than the Nimitz (they are actually smaller than the Nimitz)
It would be cool to have something as big as the Orbis Station to compare to.
Just a thought - Manhattan Island is 21.6km long and 3.7km wide so 3 stations would fit on it with a tiny bit of room to demonstrate the edges of the island. What do people think?
Someone should tell the ED wiki, they say the Courier is barely larger than the Sidewinder LOL
you should do a science video on elite. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
Oh cool you know who I am. HI!
Austin Hourigan ya man I've been watching you sense shoddycast. I even saw some of your streams. Keep up the great work your videos are AWESOME!
no it says its barely heavier
You know you could have just looked it up before posting, it literally says, right now, and I quote, "It is one of the smallest ships available, barely larger than the Sidewinder Mk I."
The cockpit/canopy designs of many of these ships are waaay oversized. Its basically like mounting a single chair in the middle of a 10m diameter glass bubble. It doesnt match up very well with how the cockpits are sized from the interior view....almost like Frontier initially intended for these ships to be much smaller than what they ended up being
The cockpit interiors *do* match the exteriors. They're absolutely, unreasonably huge. It took me a while to realize this, because I wasn't expecting such huge cockpits, but your dashboard is a couple of metres in front of you.
razorfett147
And if u can, hop into vr. It really puts things into perspective.
But ur right, scale-wise they make no sense at all lol
anything above eagledoesnt have cockpit but a BRIDGE, they are designed to be used by several people and they allow those people to walk around the bridge ...
Exactly the same for me, i never felt like flying a huge ship, especially in a Type9/10 or Conda and my ASP E really doesn't feel or behave like a huge Plane
It really doesn't feel like beeing in a huge ship when playing on a normal monitor. I guess i need VR soon
Aww man thats why i love the type6 and the rest of the lakon designs in VR. No other ships give you a view from below.
Great video man! Love the real life scales next to it. Gives a really nice sense of scale.
One day we will be able to walk around this big space boats.
When that day does happen can't wait to see the inside of a Beluga liner Federal Corvette anaconda and Imperial cutter those ships will be as wondrous as much as they will be a maze
rip
@@dottykarma5823 yeah rip indeed
Excellent work, keep it simple, no need for colour.
I really appreciate you taking our constructive criticisms into consideration :)
I mean I can't please everyone but as the bulk of my viewers come from reddit, I'd at least ask the question to see if any common favorites bubble to the surface.
doesn’t matter how thicc the type 9 is, it’ll always be my favourite space cow
You can never really appreciate the pure scale of this game until you watch one of these videos. Thanks for your hard work!
Nice to see they have the right texture on the chair
The Space Loach slithered away!
Cos you startled it.
And it will eventually slither into another video.
E:D must've modeled the ships in current human scales, and scaled everything up by 10. The Diamondback cockpit for example should be the size of an Apache helicopter. No wonder there is no sense of scale to the game, what should be tiny single seat planes are actually the size of airliners.
You're forgetting that engines and frame shift drives are absolutely massive. The seats are normal sized, its just that theres so much other important stuff in the ship theres basically no room.
@@UriMegaConnor true, but the Diamondback cockpit is really out of scale, it's huge compared to the pilot, and I had never noticed that
Aksel Newt Most of the ships have spaces more like bridges than cockpits. Even in the Python which is a medium sized ship has stairs within the “cockpit”
@@AksenowtCc because it's not a cockpit, it's a bridge with walking room.
@@cirejc2235 still too much surface exposed, i know it's not a pure combat ship, but it's like the vulture, stupidly large canopy that always gets destroyed in front fight
the shear scale of these beasts really hits home with the IRL comparisons, can't wait to be able to stand up and walk around my keelback or even what i assumed was a small cobra mk. III
Thank you Sir for your time and efforts, big smile!
The size of some of these vessels is truly staggering. The Large class starships are basically terrestrial-sized battleships in space. 🤯
This really hammers home Elite's scale problem. The cockpits of the biggest ships are proportionally identical to the cockpits of the smallest ships. If there was no direct comparison and I didn't know any better, I would assume that most of these ships were of comparable size.
From the outside for sure. we're so used to seeing windows on an aircraft meaning there's very little room behind the glass for people and cockpit. Inside the ship, less so. You can look around some of the cockpits and see how far away the door is, the upper or lower decks etc. and in VR this is increased vastly. If you only ever look forwards from the pilots seat, you are only getting one perspective. A good test is go outside and look at yourself in the chair, compared to how much glass there is.
I really like this format then the other one.
I dont care how often you upload these ship scale videos. I always enjoy them especially for the music. 😊😌
I know this comment is 9 months old but I own the 2001 a space odyssey sound track on record and the song actually sounds real cool out of a record player
I wish the scale of the vessels was more apparent in the game. The asps, FDL, et al., feel like small lorry trucks at best, even on external camera - it stunned me to see an asp juxtaposed with a passenger jet in this clip.
To be fair, the scale of the ships is marginally more apparent when you're planetside in an SRV next to one, so it seems likely space legs would increase the sense of perspective.
I was shocked to find out that the Viper I usually fly is the size of the space shuttle; and then the Federal Corvette is almost the size of an aircraft carrier.
Awesome video! Maybe for the next one add the other 2 types of stations and maybe even asteroid stations and a couple mega ships/generation ships
By no means am I belittling your video at all. I think its phenomenal and my hats off to you. I like how you used the cockpit seat and the sidewinder for scale but if you could use things we see in our every day life like a full size pickup like an F350 or a tractor trailer it would make for better scale. Again very well done and I've waited a long time for someone far more creative than I to make a video like this.
awww that cute animation though
Absolutely incredible work sir, these just get better and better!!! o7 Commander!!!
That was beautifully done 🤘
For some more fun scale comparison, an Anaconda is the same length as a Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, and a Federal Corvette is 5 meters shorter than a Ticonderoga-class cruiser.
Beautiful video and beautiful Music! Loved it!! Really wanna get my hands on the Federal Corvette :-)
I think you are missing one thing. Those Megaships you end up docked at when you are arrested.
Princess Luna Don’t forget ALL the different kinds of stations! There are more types than just Orbis!
Megaships and most stations are modularly constructed, meaning no two are exactly alike. They don’t have one exact size.
Orbis stations are like this, too; a Coriolis station should’ve been used in this video instead.
@@Monody512 Not to mention that Coriolis stations tend to be even larger than Orbis stations
So many ships and each one beautifully designed. Well done, Frontier.
BRAVO! *clapclapclap* IMHO with each iteration this video is getting better and better! The textured version of the ships for 2.4 with the landing pads were an interesting experiment, but I favor these clean grey visuals much more to illustrate the sizes. Also...a VERY nice idea to include the RL references as fast fade-ins and also to add some extra Sideys. ....and BTW, how legit is that Thargoid interpretation? ;-)
Agree completely. Another great installment :thumbsup:
Quality UA-cam content, one of the most well made videos I’ve seen in a long time (bonus points for waltz of the flowers)
I love this because it helps me understand the variation in size of the ships (and compared to the stations)
So that's what a thargoid looks like....thank you.
Beautifully crafted presentation!
There's something to be said for doing something excellent. You set out to show the different sizes and did an excellent job!
Nice work, throwing in the real world objects for comparison is a nice touch. I remember being surprised in a static version of the comparisons that the Vulture is the size of a B-52.
To get a sense of the size of these ships, note that the propellant outputs are larger than the commander.
Way neat collection! The 'Nutcracker Suite' interesting choice for the soundtrack!
Well done, well made, way better than the previous one.
I appreciate that you made a more definitive version. I think it was necessary. No shade, keep up the great work, man.
I really expected to see my Courier sooner in that list. Hecking big
Thanks for the video.....I had no idea how large these ships go.....great work
Great effort, one of the best ship-scale videos out there. Kudos to Elite's devs and designers for these amazing ship profiles...
Very good! And back to the old format. :) - Thank you very much!
I'd like to see where the Krait and Challenger fit in....great work though !
Splendid video! Very informative. Big thanks!
The Tesco banana returns!
Still waiting on delivery of my Sammarco Industries Space Loach to LHS 3447 Yaping Enterprise. I've already got reinforced seam stitching ready to install - so pumped.
What an OUTSTANDING vid ... Great work!
I love that type 9 is roughly the size of ISS. The similarities don't end there. It handles like how I imagine a fucking space station from 2000's might handle.
it would be awesome to have the ability to go inside your ships and explore them
Really good 3D modelling, they look great! I used to play the original Elite in my younger days. Never played the new version but some of the ship names are familiar.
it always fascinates me how big the cockpits are. when your in first person, it looks like the window is an arms length away, but then you go into camera suit and realize its as big as a house
This reminds me how big a sidewinder truly is compared to a human being. I've always thought of a sidewinder as being way smaller than it really is
Great video! Very nice to see them lined up like that, the real life comparisons help too!
The best bit of this for me is that the Sidewinder has the same footprint as the house I live in. That's ridiculous!
Its fun to see how the ship design matches the corp logos... US, Russian, Saudi, European. Very cool
Out of this world! Good job man.
Nice job, I love these videos.
Gets better and better every update
Brilliant models and excellent video - thanks for creating.
Great video as always !
When I see the scale of a cap ship and a thargoid interceptor, I can't help but wonder how a small bug can destroy a big ship.
And also, you should have added a spoiler on the spoiler of the T10 (If you know what I mean ;) )
The big flowers have hulls nearly immune to conventional weaponry and are very agile. That and their design really help to give the impression they're an advanced alien species.
i mean some of the comparatively small regular ships can take out a capital ship too if you know how. the thargoids have tech the in-game humans barely even understand and is much more powerful. back in the day computers with barely any computing power used to fill up entire buildings, but today you can get something with thousands of times more computing power in the palm of your hand. same principle, thargoids are just ahead in offensive technology.
*Spoiler alert!*
GROOV3ST3R oh do fuck off. elite dangerous is NOT a thrilling story piece. its about faffing about in space.
You literally missed the pun.... congratulations. I wasn't even replying to you but to xTrem Sheep...
This video deserves more recognition. Very well done.
Great job, CMDR!
1:36 The Imperial Eagle reminded me of the Maraj vehicle from the Silverhawks... Nice!
This was very enjoyable and me being new to the universe of Elite Dangerous, this actually helped with the shear scale of the game for me lol
Be sure to add the Challenger, Krait, and Panther in your next size comparison when they are released.
These scale videos are yummy in my tummy.
I found this completly amazing. Very good work man!
Thanks for taking the time to do the video!
It's the cockpit/bridge Glass that throws you off.
Example; The Courier and the Diamondbacks, just looking at them blind with no reference and you'd think "oh, single man crew, maybe some room for a bed and bathroom, miniature-size." No, it can fit elephant in there and have so breathing room. The only ship I'd say is "small" is the Imperial GU fighter. Amazing how much is in that tiny frame
Excellent work. good representation of the size difference.
Damn. This really put into perspective how big of a jump I went going from a Sidewinder (which is way bigger than I thought it was) to the T6.
I was literally watching the last vid two days ago wishing there was an updated one, and then this! Great time mate
YES!!! Brilliant, I love human for scale for every ship, it shows how stupidly oversized are cockpits of this ships and that they cant really be used to judge the ship sizes, adding a sidewinder to the last ships was good idea to. Only suggestion I have - for the next movie try to find a cruise ship model and place it next to Beluga :) Thumb up for you commander.
Love love love this.
And the new ships and redesigns are amazing
Not sure if that Tesco banana meets EU regulations. If it's too bendy the whole video may be considered inappropriate. ;)
I think this video shows one of the key strengths of Star Citizen over Elite Dangerous (i own and enjoy both) and that is the sense of scale in the game. Because you cannot walk around the ship etc it is almost impossible to get a sense of the true size of your ship
Ahh I didn't actually realize that the Beluga was the largest flyable ship, but I think that explains quite a bit, like getting snagged on the freaking station openings everywhere I go, and hitting every ship that comes within a football field of me.
I guess that's to be expected of a cruise ship.
What a treat! Thanks for the updated video. Superb.
in an age of home 3d printers, it would be awesome if the models were offered to the public. It would be awesome to stick one on a books shelf, etc
You should compare the Federal Corvette model to a model of a US Navy Super-carrier. Would be nice to see that.
Next time you do one of these, it'd be great to see a zoom in to a sidewinder with a pilot next to it in the mail slot.
Absolutely brilliant video, I’ve loved these since you put the first one out, thanks for your effort on this. Brilliantly choreographed to the music too.
Very nice job ! Loved it from the beginning to the end :)
I never realized the ships were these big in-game when you put the little pilot next to each ship.. They always felt tiny. Like.. 1:50 in and I'm like "wow Adder is huge.. yet they're like little cockroach shits when you blow them up in space.."
Also the little snek at the start is so cute omg.
Meanwhile I thought my glorious Imperial Clipper was about the size of a passenger jet. It's actually the size of a small space station. The amount of times I got stuck in the mail slot now all make sense.
You are a genius. Such a cool video.
Banana for scale. I already love it.
I feel that the main problem with the design of Elite: Dangerous ships is the cockpit size. A lot of them have massive screens which work with the rest of the ship's scale but makes the ship look much smaller than it is. Other than that, Elite has the best ship designs ever!
You had me at "TESCO Banana".
Brilliant!
That slithering motion at the end...
