Elite has had a fantastic year in my opinion. This time last year we weren't sure if it was gonna make it, FDev has really turned it around this year. To top it all off the battle for Earth is such a great climax for the Thargoid War and the 10th anniversary. Thank you Buur for sticking with Elite even through the hard times, and consistently making quality news content. I'm hoping to get a Cobra Mk5, but I'm not retiring my MK3, it's a gem and I love it. The Mk5 looks to be a worthy successor though, I'm very glad to see a new variant of the iconic Cobra, and the original slogan "Become Elite" in its launch trailer, in time for the anniversary. It really seems like Elite's had a real resurgence this year, and in a way the new Cobra is symbolic of all of that.

I got to submit a hilarious bug today. I was bombing cocky-joe and I picked up the sound of an interceptor flying around. That sound followed me into multiple systems and even after I switched ships and even when disembarked. As I type this, I'm in Jameson Memorial in Shin-Dez and I can hear an interceptor haunting my landing pad.
Long time watcher, first time commenter. It was really humbling hearing Burr giggle when talking about alternative titan names, and in turn made me giggle. A+++++ would buy from again
This task is doable for newbies. I took a non engineered AX krait mk2 and wacked the exposed core a few times before I died. Took 6 attempts due to combination of gankers interdiction and Thargoid interdiction and the pulse wave approach.
I'm glad to hear that progress on defeating Cocijo has been slowed. I've been out of pocket, unable to play for about 3 weeks, and as Frontier has taken the struggle against the Thargoids to Sol, I've been bummed and thinking I'm going to totally miss out. But I head back home tomorrow, and I do plan to try to get to Sol and get in my hits on that flower of death. o7 ~Commander Ojo
Great videos, always excited to see the upload! New to AX from last week and I'm already doing titan bombing runs, it's amazing Wish I had joined back in earlier lol
I've been getting attacked a lot more on my approach into the maelstrom, I almost never was attacked by anything on previous titans. But now I find myself fighting the thargoid pulses while hoping the nearby flower doesn't destroy my hull
@wstavis3135 they could've definitely cut the interdictions down by like 50%. They are way too frequent and just annoying. Also how the hell are scouts able to rip a Corvette out of supercruise It's so annoying that i jump out of system entirely each run. I notice you get it less if you just jumped in then haul butt to Cojico. Just pop a heatsink right before your FSD charges while jumping into Sol. You'll avoid hyperdiction.
Quite the opposite for me, at least so far. I didn't even get pulled out of witchspace on the first run in transit from Ross 154, and in-system interdictions have been sub-avarage. Hope it lasts.
@vonSchmettern You literally didn't read what i said. Jumping out of system and jumping into Sol = less interdictions. You've been doing exactly what i said reduces it. Now go to Mars High, stay there, then try to go to Cojico each time. You will get interdicted like 4-6 times before you reach Cojico within 900ls
@@tdot8280 the problem is, do i take unshielded guardian weapons or no? that's my concern cause i can pick only one though i could redo the AX krait prebuilt.
The most important thing about the CG is this little clause added to this CG: "If Titan Cocijo is not destroyed within the week, the pledged rewards will not be available." In other words, getting the FSD rewards is dependent on the Titan being destroyed, i.e. it must reach tier 8 especially as each tier corresponds to a single heart going. Getting it to tier 1 is not enough.
The MKv also makes a good bomber cause its so rapid. I got it immeditely, it doesn't have the same combat specs of the pyhton m2 my current favourite ship, but as an all rounder it's fantastic, so fast and manouvrable.
Didn't get to watch the premiere, but amazing work as always you two! Thank you for all you do for this amazing community, and have a fantastic weekend!
PSA from a Pilot who went to Mars High the night before the update and has been there since, you can sign up for the cg there and check ypur stats there if it puts you at ease! I will warn Mars High has a tendency to have multiple Hydras around it but have been able to avoid and make my way to do my titan bombing runs to do what i needed for the sco fsds, will be defending mars high valiantly for the rest of this however
Yeah and you get interdicted like hell when you respawn there then go back to Cojico. I just jump out to Luyten's and have my respawn as the rescue ship. Don't get interdicted as much when you freshly jump into Sol. Pop heatsink before FSD charges.
@The Buur Pit: In case you want some cool footage of a Titan Killl-Shot and don't know how to, do this: 1. Wait in the instance until the Titan is killed 2. THEN start your attack-run. 3. upon shooting the core, secondary explosion will start to happen along with the message of all titan hearts being destroyed. I believe this is because the instance will not switch from "Titan alive" to "Titan melting" until after you attacked in your very personal instance; only after that the server will return the "Titan in meltdown"-flag and your instance will switch This probably happens right when you start shooting the core, and not once the core is retracted. You can of course just constantly attack and screen cap the entire time, hoping to "hit the spot"; but I found the way I described to be the most reliable way to do it. ^^ I only have in-cockpit footage of this happening; I guess your footage will be much more interesting, thanks to CMDR Rheeney. ;) o7
I love my Cobra Mk.5 Stellar build is the way to go this round! As for the murder cabbages not even bothering with them until I get this bird fully engineered. That maybe a while cause I started with a fresh save.
I wouldn't necessarily want this usually, but i think theres a very strong argument for just this Titan, that they do actually fix it's explosion time (or otherwise, an explosion is only expected, not actually inevitable). Tell everyone it's going to be at a certain time, let everyone know they can contribute within the specified time, and have a specific time that a major cinematic will be taking place at the home of humanity, on the 10th anniversary of the game, and let the people come. The netcode is famously a bit crap, but that even a failure of technology is a fun way to remember this momentous occasion in the franchise.
Ever since Update 13, there's been a significant lag in the FC jump queue on weekends. Not during the week.. only on the weekends. Now it's gone. Update 13 is when the Titans 1st showed up in the game. Now that the last titan is on its last legs, it appears that the thing in the game that's been causing WEEKEND lags in the FC jump queue has vanished.. I've seen 15 minute jump queue times this weekend so far. When I jumped my FC out on 1 of my Exploration Expeditions, I had to jump it 35-88 times.. and there was always a lag in the jump queue on weekends, in fact, some instances, the Jump queue would say there were no open slots and to try again later! Other FC owners have also reported this lag on WEEKENDS only. Around 1800 UTC on Sunday the jump queue would go back down to 15 minutes... Anyway, anyone saying they haven't seen any FC jump queue lag over the last 2 years either hasn't been jumping on weekends or isn't playing on the PC because the lag has been there.. every weekend.. for the last 2 years...
Good to hear about the multicrew bonds - My brother had the genius idea to leave the bubble during this highly lucrative one-time experience 🤣 So I've been fitting turrets onto my ships and letting him help tickle the pineapple.
Dave? What are you doing Dave? Titan Dave would also involve endless reruns. Cobra Mk5 acquired. It’s giving my Mk4 the evil side eye at Wilson Port currently. Such a large detonation so close to Earth should push the planet out of it’s current orbit, then we can get a Space 1999 / Elite mashup going on. o7
I've been bombing with an unengineered Cobra Mk5, I do about 3-5 bombing runs before being swatted out but in that time I make many times my rebuy so I don't mind it at all, saves me the trip back
Love the Titan pronunciation - proper giggle at that. "Cocky Toffee" was my personal favourite. Less happy to see E:D continuing to prop up Musk in order to communicate in-game events.
Every time I listen to you I Parrot aloud ‘I’m CMDD Burr ‘ 😂 Great videos. Relatively new listener and CMDR . Looking forward to bombing the Titan later today . Be cool to see what the new year brings.
I'm quite far out from the bubble. With limited flight time my biggest concern for getting back to watch Earth explode and help slap the goids would be that it takes me a while to get there, and once I get there it will take me ages to get back out to where I was and I don't know if I'll find the motivation to fly back out. Though there is a carrier nearby that is selling ships within ~10,000 Ly of me so I could go buy one and smash it so I don't lose my exploration vessel. Then just have to race back out to pick up my explorer. Perhaps I'll take a Cobra Mk 5 back out.
Finally managed to visit a Titan. Unfortunately the game didn’t recognize the damage done to the pineapple. Instant was bugged :/ I mentioned this earlier - the debris will contaminate earth and render it inhabitable. Maybe this time instead of exploding, the Titan will burry itself into earth. Scorched earth approach 😅
OMG, the Cobra MK 5 - is this not the best ship ever, I love flying her. For the first time in a very long time I have been out in space finding excuses to fly hither and thither just for the joy of flying her. What a ship!
The new cobra is awesome. Even with clean drives, outperforms in movement almost every other ship in the game. It's good that her weapons are on the small scale to not make it overpowered. Also the canopy seems to be made of gorilla glass 3303, not like the poor vulture, F.
Got the Mk. 5, had 2 successful runs on "Cocky joe" and had a friend tele-sync with me. Can verify that he did not recieve credit as I maintained control of weapons. We'll try again tonight with him pulling the trigger. Great times, but im out of mats again...
I have a little question. I havw a krait mk2 with a sub-optimal build because engineering will do that to you. But in terms of "contribution" i did do damage, and got some combat bonds for it, but then I got destroyed by surrounding goids that of course targeted the (probably) only non-engineered ship. Does the fact that i blew up affect my "awarded bonds" cus in the CG it said i had earned 0 bonds after i redeployed. Dont know if you, or anyone else knows but im going to ask nonetheless😅
I hope that they add more ship storage slots. My FC has only 40 and now there's 41 ships. It should be something like the other slots that they increased. I cannot deploy the Cobra MK V at all because of this.
I just want to be sure I understood FDev correctly. Is it _any_ damage done to the titan core, or is there a minimal amount needed to qualify for the FSD SCO drive rewards?
@alexklammel9240 received. Thank you commander. Hit for a few mil last night but the CG contribution in my ship was showing 0 amount. Hope that's lag or a bug. O7
i helped evacuate every system attacked and have now moved on to the grind for suit upgrades 😞 but i do like these restore missions and fighting in th CZ zones.
Interesting theory about what will happen to Earth when the Titan explodes but, the lore tells us the environment was ruined (in the not too distant future for us) long ago. That is why Mars was terraformed and everybody lives in starports or on Mars. Elite is a bit of a dystopian future.
@@TheBuurPit I don't think it's been outright uninhabitable, but the lore says it was environmentally damaged (particularly by nukes in World War 3), but it has since been restored. The "Cradle of Humanity" tourist beacon in Sol mentions the damage. Earth is currently a lush tourist world (at least it was before Cocky Joe).
@ Drew Wagar’s lore tour series. Not sure he said uninhabitable but, the environment was messed up somehow. I believe it was the beginning of the first video in the series mate. If I can find the video I’ll post a link if you like. Great video as always 👍🏻👍🏻
I hope fdev doesn't get rid of thargoids in elite. The game is already miles wide but a bit shallow. For me, new ships won't keep me coming back if they start REMOVING content, especially when it's one of the few things to do that doesnt boil down to jumping from system to system like trading, passenger missions, and exploration.
Totally doable for first timers. I took my Cobra mk5, slapped on 2x caustic sinks, 1x heat sink, tharg pulse neutraliser, 3x tharg missle racks and ran it as is. Took loads of pip management, but got 4 hit and runs in to grab me 16mil before I went pop.
Despite the statement in this video implying that multi-crew gunner would count for CG contribution, it does not seem to count. I've went with a friend in an odyssey multicrew (so was "physically" in the ship. was the one to pull the trigger on AX multicannons firing at the core, got 2mill direct claim for damaging the core (in previous test where I only fired torpedo, I only got shared bonds, not direct bonds) and day after that run CG still shows 0 credits contribution.
@@MehrumesDagon there seems to be some inconsistency going on.... We've run some tests on two alts here and BOTH have been signed up to the CG automatically having participated in multicrew sessions as we state in the video. We grabbed accompanying before and after screenshots as well to confirm. O7
I kept wondering why more people do not want to play in open but then as i was docking in Mars High i got attacked and rammed inside the Station and i remembered that there are turds out there that use the invasion and lack of consquences to make themselves look good. Because when i look for them in a PVP ship they aint doing too well
I left E:D a year and a half ago when people were falling out of love with it. What's changed that might tempt me back? I didn't particularly get involved in or like the thargoid thing as I think it distracted from core elite gameplay but that's just personal preference. Is VR any better and are planets looking better than 1.5 years ago? Bring me up to speed please as I'm tempted to give some SSD to it once more. Oh and I had a fairly good fleet but I guess most tech is outdated now?
@@TheBuurPit Ah ok.. I was just getting the hang of taking on the bigger 'goids, now they're all isolated to Sol so no more shard cannons 😭. Don't think I have time to grind away at getting them all engineered.
@headshot6959 you will still find then if you lurk around the Titan Corpses. It's patience waiting game, but you will get Hunters and Interceptors or various kinds dropping in. Only one I not seen yet are Hydra.
@@mannyonaleash2222 Good to know, thanks! I bet Frontier underestimated the response from the Commanders, recapturing every system in under a week. Will they leave the Cocijo husk in orbit around Sol or have it flee before it gets destroyed?
Progress indeed seems slow, I mean 2 days with only 2.67 hearts down? Other Titans popped in 2 days (IIRC) but this one is holding up too nicely. I thought we would be watching the explosion on this Sunday, but that's already out of the window it seems. Nvm, just bomb it folks, really do not want this drag into the X-mas week.
Is Titan Dave exploding the real reason Earth was uninhabitable in Starfield? Are FDev and Bethesda going to do ED / Starfield cross-over content?? (FTR: god I hope not!)
I am concerned about the developers' delayed prioritization of ship interior development. While the recent implementation of real-world monetary transactions is a positive step, I question the continued exclusion of players previously banned for engaging in such transactions. This policy seems inconsistent with the company's current approach.😂😂😂😂
it wuold be nice that Ciocijo surrender and permanently stay in Eart orbit as an Ambassy. maybe Thargs became just new superpower. I do not that war wil enf just like that. except some catch 22 from fdevs and wouldnt be surprised at all. we will see

OMG, the Cobra MK 5 - is this not the best ship ever, I love flying her. For the first time in a very long time I have been out in space finding excuses to fly hither and thither just for the joy of flying her. What a ship!
Great huh? :)
The new cobra is awesome. Even with clean drives, outperforms in movement almost every other ship in the game. It's good that her weapons are on the small scale to not make it overpowered.
Also the canopy seems to be made of gorilla glass 3303, not like the poor vulture, F.
Surely a npc getting stuck in mailslot is the best achievement fdev ever had.
I just watch the trailer! Did any catch the cmdr standing on top the ship as it was flying in space? It was very brief and during the astroid scene.
@@deevy7746 I had to do a double take at it, but I don't think it was a commander, must've been a utility mount
Yeah it caught us as well but it's not a commander sadly. We paused the frame and blew it up. It's the rear view of a mining hard point :)
"Caustic Murderous Worry Weeds" I need that on a shirt
I wish I could help but I don't have the update on Xbox Good luck everyone
Got the Mk. 5, had 2 successful runs on "Cocky joe" and had a friend tele-sync with me. Can verify that he did not recieve credit as I maintained control of weapons. We'll try again tonight with him pulling the trigger. Great times, but im out of mats again...
I finally managed to land some hits on the Titan Cup o' Joe after several attempts. Not a big impact but something.
I have a little question. I havw a krait mk2 with a sub-optimal build because engineering will do that to you. But in terms of "contribution" i did do damage, and got some combat bonds for it, but then I got destroyed by surrounding goids that of course targeted the (probably) only non-engineered ship. Does the fact that i blew up affect my "awarded bonds" cus in the CG it said i had earned 0 bonds after i redeployed.
Dont know if you, or anyone else knows but im going to ask nonetheless😅
Am I the only one who feels reminded of the Ending of X2?
I hope that they add more ship storage slots. My FC has only 40 and now there's 41 ships. It should be something like the other slots that they increased. I cannot deploy the Cobra MK V at all because of this.
2nd and ready for the next volume in the series.
now that im back in elite, im just happy to see the end of the thargoid war. now im curious what else could pop off
How many different Titan's names did you hear in this vid? =)
I managed to do damage to the titan with a canyon racer Viper mk3
Lost a good chuck of hull before getting to the core but i did it!
Had to cut back a real world vacation to get my final star.
I just want to be sure I understood FDev correctly. Is it _any_ damage done to the titan core, or is there a minimal amount needed to qualify for the FSD SCO drive rewards?
@@highlightning6693 any damage. Just hit his main thing with ax weapon.
@alexklammel9240 received. Thank you commander. Hit for a few mil last night but the CG contribution in my ship was showing 0 amount. Hope that's lag or a bug. O7
i helped evacuate every system attacked and have now moved on to the grind for suit upgrades 😞 but i do like these restore missions and fighting in th CZ zones.
we pronounce it "coh-see-joe", soon to be pronounced "kaboom!"
Interesting theory about what will happen to Earth when the Titan explodes but, the lore tells us the environment was ruined (in the not too distant future for us) long ago. That is why Mars was terraformed and everybody lives in starports or on Mars. Elite is a bit of a dystopian future.
I know the sea levels are raised on earth but I've not heard of it being uninhabitable before. What's your source for that?
@@TheBuurPit I don't think it's been outright uninhabitable, but the lore says it was environmentally damaged (particularly by nukes in World War 3), but it has since been restored. The "Cradle of Humanity" tourist beacon in Sol mentions the damage. Earth is currently a lush tourist world (at least it was before Cocky Joe).
@ Drew Wagar’s lore tour series. Not sure he said uninhabitable but, the environment was messed up somehow. I believe it was the beginning of the first video in the series mate. If I can find the video I’ll post a link if you like. Great video as always 👍🏻👍🏻
Expecting Cocijo to crash on Earth instead of "simply" explode
Cocijo is a Latin American name its pronunciation is co-ci-jo with the J being silent
Aw, no cucaracha jokes this time.
I hope fdev doesn't get rid of thargoids in elite. The game is already miles wide but a bit shallow. For me, new ships won't keep me coming back if they start REMOVING content, especially when it's one of the few things to do that doesnt boil down to jumping from system to system like trading, passenger missions, and exploration.
Totally doable for first timers. I took my Cobra mk5, slapped on 2x caustic sinks, 1x heat sink, tharg pulse neutraliser, 3x tharg missle racks and ran it as is. Took loads of pip management, but got 4 hit and runs in to grab me 16mil before I went pop.
Despite the statement in this video implying that multi-crew gunner would count for CG contribution, it does not seem to count. I've went with a friend in an odyssey multicrew (so was "physically" in the ship. was the one to pull the trigger on AX multicannons firing at the core, got 2mill direct claim for damaging the core (in previous test where I only fired torpedo, I only got shared bonds, not direct bonds) and day after that run CG still shows 0 credits contribution.
@@MehrumesDagon there seems to be some inconsistency going on.... We've run some tests on two alts here and BOTH have been signed up to the CG automatically having participated in multicrew sessions as we state in the video. We grabbed accompanying before and after screenshots as well to confirm. O7
It sucks that i missed two titans, terranis and oya.. i wouldve really loved to complete my titan decals..
Why does the 8th Decal have that worrying little gap at the top? The circle must be complete!
There are lots of intercepters with titan, more than usual
I kept wondering why more people do not want to play in open but then as i was docking in Mars High i got attacked and rammed inside the Station and i remembered that there are turds out there that use the invasion and lack of consquences to make themselves look good.
Because when i look for them in a PVP ship they aint doing too well
I left E:D a year and a half ago when people were falling out of love with it. What's changed that might tempt me back? I didn't particularly get involved in or like the thargoid thing as I think it distracted from core elite gameplay but that's just personal preference. Is VR any better and are planets looking better than 1.5 years ago? Bring me up to speed please as I'm tempted to give some SSD to it once more. Oh and I had a fairly good fleet but I guess most tech is outdated now?
When a titan explodes, it flings ships outwards... Could a ship using SCO counter that rearward thrust?🤔
Pity the bug "fixes" have not./ Carrier bartender transferring from backpack is still utterly borked
Cockatoo doesn't know what it's got coming. Cocacola? Coocookachoo? Eh.
Does the Guardian suppression field drop off as the Titan gets weaker?
Sadly not
@@TheBuurPit Ah ok.. I was just getting the hang of taking on the bigger 'goids, now they're all isolated to Sol so no more shard cannons 😭. Don't think I have time to grind away at getting them all engineered.
@headshot6959 you will still find then if you lurk around the Titan Corpses. It's patience waiting game, but you will get Hunters and Interceptors or various kinds dropping in. Only one I not seen yet are Hydra.
@@mannyonaleash2222 Good to know, thanks! I bet Frontier underestimated the response from the Commanders, recapturing every system in under a week.
Will they leave the Cocijo husk in orbit around Sol or have it flee before it gets destroyed?
Progress indeed seems slow, I mean 2 days with only 2.67 hearts down?
Other Titans popped in 2 days (IIRC) but this one is holding up too nicely.
I thought we would be watching the explosion on this Sunday, but that's already out of the window it seems.
Nvm, just bomb it folks, really do not want this drag into the X-mas week.
Man I wish Elite Dangerous had Third person like Star Citizen, it'll make so much of a major difference in gameplay.
o7
I wonder, it this is meant to pass thu tick, this will be the first titan to do so if it does
Is Titan Dave exploding the real reason Earth was uninhabitable in Starfield? Are FDev and Bethesda going to do ED / Starfield cross-over content?? (FTR: god I hope not!)
Stilll trying to find a Type 8
I am concerned about the developers' delayed prioritization of ship interior development. While the recent implementation of real-world monetary transactions is a positive step, I question the continued exclusion of players previously banned for engaging in such transactions. This policy seems inconsistent with the company's current approach.😂😂😂😂
5:48 you laughed
What’s the status of the Titan? Hopefully I can get some hits in tonight.
Love the Cobra MKV but, no chrome?!😢
Elite Dangerous 2
it wuold be nice that Ciocijo surrender and permanently stay in Eart orbit as an Ambassy. maybe Thargs became just new superpower. I do not that war wil enf just like that. except some catch 22 from fdevs and wouldnt be surprised at all. we will see
It's the end of the war as we know it, but I feel fine...
