Flying The Anaconda - The Biggest, Baddest, Most Expensive Ship in Elite: Dangerous
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Before the launch of Premium Beta I had the chance to fly the Anaconda in Elite: Dangerous. While this has a smaller cargo capacity than the Lakon Type 9 it can fit the biggest weapons in the game, and its shields make it as tough as an asteroid - which also describes how well it steers.
And now, after a hectic weekend, I find myself still in a Sidewinder :)
Looks like the Anaconda has the turning circle of a moon.
Yup, but the firepower of a Death Star.... That's no moon! ;-)
I know, the anaconda don't
the moon is a circle so its turning radius is very small
CokeForIQ that’s literally the dumbest thing I’ve read today. Not all circles are the same size. The concept of a radius is not a constant value.
Given a pitch speed of 56°/s and a min supercruise speed of 30km/s, its minimum turning radius in supercruise is about 30.7km
Man, star citizen has more money, and a bigger team and they haven't even got the dogfighting module out... they haven't even shown they're past the concept stage since late 2012
Star Citizen is like CoD and Elite Dangerous is like Battlefield, now we just need a CS:GO of space flight simulators
***** You couldn't be more wrong with that comparison but ok....
Vennytube Thanks for your respect :)
Vennytube Actually no. The ships in SC feel like paper, just like CoD does to play. Everything is so easy to do and it feels like the game is basically helping you to play it. Where as with ED the ships feels heavy and real, they feel like when you press the forward thrusters into maximum you actually move just like when you shoot in BF you are actually shooting. SC is a garbage game just like CoD no matter what they update it with it will always be behind ED
Ben W I know right?! LOLOLOLOL
"it's like an icecream cone if it had guns all over it" So you mean, America's ice cream cones?
XD I'm dying!
I Like What You Got y
Next thing you know, they'll be parking some ice cream vans outside of schools for them hungry kids
can confirm as an american: our ice cream cones are covered in guns
Also in America, the bananas actually function as guns!
MY ANACONDA DONT WANT NONE UNLESS YOU GOT BUNS HUN.

Because I am the fucking time lord
+TimeLordTardis13 YT Becuase you will only see square asses from minecraft :)
I understand the tactical advantage argument of 3rd person while operating your ship in space, but for the love of God why can't they at least allow you to admire your ship in 3rd person in the hanger?
The debug camera now lets you view your ship from the outside, anywhere you want.
+Scott Manley Why can't I use my debug camera anywhere? I can only use it while in space at normal speed. It doesn't let me use it during super cruise, or at a hanger.
WolfsVideoTM It doesn't let me.
+Elliot McGrath supercruise isn't normal flight, so it won't let you do it there. Have to drop out to use it.
Elliot McGrath it let's you do it anytime. Check your control settings
Anyone else have visions of Galaxy Quest when Scott was docking that thing? You guys remember when the Protector was leaving space dock and scraped the sides lol. I had the exact look that Dr. Lazarus had XD
In Star Trek Enterprise they scraped the ship hull there too.
Am I the only one here who doesn't care which game is better between Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen? I only care about traveling across the universe and enjoy both games. :/
about80ninjas I love both and the only thing about SC I find annoying and pathetic is their community shitting all over any space game that isn't SC -.- other than that they're both really good games
+aerrowskyblade i agree i dont want war. I want the best game their developers can churn out. I'm sad though the direction ED developers have been going as of late. (Like dude make more content not planetary landings wtf)
lmafo4utube What do you mean by content? They're adding multicrew and a load of new ships too :P As well as a whole new exploration system with the planetary landings. Because of SC they have to do this to make money. That is another issue I have with the whole SC hype. It threw the market off.
+lmafo4utube But wouldn't planetary landings be considered more content? A lot more content, in fact. There's a lot of stuff to do on those planets.
+QwertyuiopThePie exactly they're 1 to 1 scale too.
the biggest flyable ship is a small cruiser, there goes all my expectations...
***** Excuse me, i meant its the size of a small cruiser (compared to spaceships from other franchises), i was mainly referring to its size not its utility.
*****
Yes, if a Star Destroyer at ~2km is a heavy cruiser, then this ship is merely a small one.
Smokey Nope It's more of a corvette than a cruiser. You might be able to push it and call it a frigate, depending on the eventual size of the other ships in the game (including non-player ones, of course). Think Rebel blockade runner rather than Acclamator assault ship.
Kyle Smith Now that type of scaling would be MUCH better.
It's twice as long as real-life maritime cruisers.
my anaconda don't,
my anaconda don't,
my anaconda don't want none unless you got a big ship hun.
I hope they add the ability to walk around ship your when this game comes out.
PurgatorialFlame price yes rough outline of "dlc" is already decided and published. Was about 2 weeks into the kickstarter campaign. Update #12 ( www.kickstarter.com/projects/1461411552/elite-dangerous/posts/369170 )
Has the first definite outline and pricing of the walk arround expansion and pricing. While here the price was a reward level. Just like the early access, it will be less expensive as the reward was. The expansion finished will have a lower price than reward level was.
Here it was 90£+ = full access with expansion. Which leaves a ~40-50 £ for one expansion difference to retail price.
I think 25£ would be a reasonable price for the walk and land dlc.
Also in the video in the update David lays out their development pkan. And t date all looks as planned. Which is quite impressive.
But yea the offline to up I also don't get.
Why not realese the server software but yea.

Edit
Man that video was 14.dec 2012. And still miss information is getting spread.
Yes.
Well it’s coming trailer is here
Oh how this comment didn't age well but we got to walk around the stations and fleet carriers
Comment confirmed did not age well
That ginormous long nose is the most of your outside ship you will see in elite dangerous :(
Except if you use the debug camera.
not anymore :)
07:15 A naval battleship commander has to say that at some point, it would be awesome!
love the dull double thud as the exiting Lakon ship explodes on the way out. I wonder if someone was trying to come in at the same time, like on the Original Elite. Oh those were the scary days
Steers like an asteroid, but is as tough as an asteroid. That's some good argumentation there.
damn the UI changed a hell of a lot in these 2 years
Now it has changed even more!
@@go-xn8ow man, its unrecognizable now, also "largest and biggest ship you can buy" that's so obsolete now XD
Fully loaded kreig, makes salvage out of all other ships. It is known
0:10 where is my space babe in the cockpit!!?
Little did we know, the docking process is so easy safe and none dangerous, we start to use the buildings inside the hanger to stop. Ram into them to stop no consequence no damage to stop or thrusters
Really enjoying your video's Scott, they are the best Elite videos in the verse!
"My anaconda don't , my anaconda don't , my anaconda don't want unless you got ships Hun
mah anaconda don't, my anaconda don't, my anaconda don't want none unless you got guns hon
Haven't seen a game that get the concept of laser right in a while
true happiness is seeing that the flight controls in the anaconda look just like the Saitek X52, which I own.
I am so happy the UI and HUD has been changed from this to what we now have in 2.3.10
Thank you Scott for sharing your experiences with this game .
1:06 This reminds me of when playing 'Sector X' of Starfox64/Lylat Wars: every time I flew under debris or something I ducked down myself. My mother thought it was cute.
wow !! how lame it was and how awesome it is today .... goooood!!!
Don't forget Commodore Monty, the most famous Python in history.
(Yes that joke was lame... it's from the manual that shipped with the original Elite for the C64)
"it does steer like an asteroid" this made me giggle ill give you that Scott Manley
In the beginning with you trying to park and scrapping against everything, all I could think of was spongebob saying "you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good!" 😂😂
And I'm here zipping around in an Adder. It's a nice little ship.
I'm waiting for someone to do an Anaconda reference with buns replaced with guns.
Of course it would probably go like "My Anaconda didn't do nothing less I got guns bud."
If Scott the astronaut has problems to park his vehicle, you know it's a damn hard thing to do. :D
getting a docking autopilot was the first thing I did...lining up with docking platforms was the worst part of the game before that, now just reduce speed to zero and it high-tails it in and lands in seconds. If I tried the same i'd have to spend half an hour at least just lining shit up.
I'm a starship not a helicopter, Jim!
But the question is does E:D have buns. Cuz' my Anaconda don't want none, if it ain't got none.
Hun.
Was about to write a comment like this aswell xD
Dial _1-800-MIX-A-LOT_ and kick those nasty thoughts. . .
its funny watching this and seeing how far the game has come in a year and a half
Scott Manley i just stumbled upon a wanted anaconda in an USS, and since i had a high reward bounty I stupidly fired a full volley of dumbfire missiles, didnt even destroy his shields XD (2 x 8 missiles from my viper) those things are beastly
My anaconda don't....
"Don't want non unless you got buns Hun "
"OMG"
...fit through the docking port.
Hey Scott, you should try flying "upside down (no such thing in space)" when you wanna land into the landing pad. It's easier not to overshoot your landing pad. Once you are in a good position, flip right side up and land. It takes time getting used to but it's pretty good.
Angry Pancake so landing on the roof lol
Sleek as a fish, speed of a fish, handling of a cow.
I had the same reaction to the engines as they powered up. The sound effects in this game are superb.. and a bit creepy. I love it.
I just got an ad for Elite Dangerous... on this fucking video...
Hey Scott, kind of unrelated, but what do you think of Skylon?
So every ship in this game looks like a flying pizza slice, creative.
Love it. Thanks for the review Scott. Fly safe!
Wow a youtube video that wasn't narrated by a moron who likes the sound of their own voice, nor was it full of swearing. What a refreshing change - thanks Scott.
You just crashed a ship nearly the size of an American aircraft carrier. Good job.
I don't think SC has the feature of landing. I believe it's just a cut scene. I hope I'm wrong cause that would suck ballz. Landing and taking off gets me more immersed in a game.
Imagine you are a mayor of the future. It's 2998 and every man worth his name has a fusion-powered, weapon-loaded spaceship. Would you allow manual control as it weaves between skyscrapers? It's not a cutscene per se. Although you don't have control of your ship, you can still get up and walk around.
Also I've heard you might be able to manually land in more remote areas but I don't think that's confirmed.
Whos to say you'd need to weave between buildings? If you look at other futuristic lores a lot of planetary landings were at elevated landing pads so that you were above the buildings or you would dock at a station and be shuttled down planetside.
newman8r45 Star Citizen doesn't have that. Besides, what if you miss the landing pad and tumble into a skyscraper?
Star citizen doesnt have any sort of planetary landings yet, whats your point? what if a car slides off a road and into someones house?
newman8r45 The house is destroyed and people die. Hence self-driving cars.
Looks, like a fish, as fast as a fish, turns like a cow. I dare you take take into the mineral extraction zone. ;-)
I really miss the yellow shields, I feel like they easily could've repurposed the old code for the thargoid vessels at least to make it seem completely alien in every conceivable way.
You have ps4?
@@CarCrashTV12 Not anymore, transferred accounts to PC when I sold it for a PC
Anyone else think Galaxy Quest when he was docking? :)
I like seeing these ships and make me look forward to the game.
Great video, your a funny guy as i had to laugh for a few of the moments in it.
Can't wait until they add walkabout. Nice video.
Dude! Say it with me! Landing module! I know there was none at this time but dang!
i absolutely love piloting the Anaconda, as well as fighting with it.
2:32 it is kind of funny that these kind of events do not lead to hefty fines. :P I mean loitering is punishable by death!
gotta love that landing minigame man...
just dont forget to ask for docking clearance before entering the station with such a big ship...^^ you wouldnt get out that easilly
Seems the flight stick in the cockpit was modeled after the x52. Heh. Nice.
I'm surprised they didn't obliterate your 'conda for flying through the mail slot at 19 m/s
They warn me they'll kill me if I don't speed up if I'm going less than 70
I know it isn't exactly the same, but isn't what you did with your spaceplane during reentry in interstellar quest the same concept? Moving around the fuel to get the orientation you want?
Ah it's my fellow Scot Scott from the Kerbally world. Never knew you were an E:D'er as well.
i like how the condor is the biggest bird irl but like the smallest ship in this game lmao
Condor isn't biggest :-)
Albatross has longer wing span and Bustard is heaviest flying bird.
You would think there would be additional displays each showing camera footage of different parts of the ship front, back, port and starboard sides. This would make life a lot easier.
I got into the Premium Beta as well, biggest hurdle so far was figuring out the UI menu without causing my ship to go all over the place :D
Docking has gone very smooth, although I've noticed a lot of bugs with it. Space station disappearing when docking, refusal to give me docking clearance, or my favorite: being told to land at an obviously occupied landing pad, and then actually land my sidewinder.. IN the other guy's sidewinder (takes some downtrusting to do it) without damage (to me) :D Sparks flying everywhere, and the pad takes both of us to the hangar, sparking all the way :D
I've also noticed cargo containers flying around inside the stations, but it seems they are not affected by the rotational correction so they 'orbit' and clip through all the things that will happily crush your ship if you fly into them...
It is the biggest ship until the "Panther Clipper" comes. - the biggest ship in Elite 2 Frontier. But it is more of a cargo ship than the Anaconda.
Moving the center of mass? Like the Swedish S-tank did in the 60s? So, it did catch on after around one thousand years!
right on commander Manley, I was wondering if you managed to put a video together before the credit wipe. I think there will be new ships introduced during premium Beta as there should be 25 for the final release and we only have 5 now. New space station/s coming soon too ;-)
My anaconda don't want none unless you got suns hun
Next on the Agenda, Capital ships, hardpoints: 20 Super heavy, 10 small. seperate controls, basically, this thing will move slow, but deal damage to anything inside its arks of fire quickly.
They now have autodocking computers. Wonder how quickly it'd be able to get this thing stationed.
as soon as they put landing on planets and star ports into the game, you will not need to dock at a space station or they could put a large landing pad on the outside of the station for Anacondas,
A lot less jokes than I though about... you know. Anaconda.
Sharpclawasaurus The Anaconda was a snake first, a ship in Elite second, and a terrible song third. Besides, his Anaconda clearly does want some.
QwertyuiopThePie I guess you're right, hun.
Sharpclawasaurus Laser toy named Troy, likes to nuke Smaller shuttles.
If you could get out of the ship and walk around also, that would be mind blowing.
Good gameplay demo. Thanks for posting.
good to know that 1000 years into the future, they have installed parking sensors...
With all this technology you would think that there would be an autopilot, or at least multiple cameras to see various angles >.
The right speed for combat.
Great vids Scott. Hope to meet you in the ED universe.
Commander Woolfy from Dalgety Bay
You gotta go back and do this again with the Imperial Cutter or Federal Corvette now!
That game looks awesome. Anything space is awesome to me tho, but this looks sweet.
I'm more concerned about the community of Star Citizen than the game itself. This is the one problem when you tackle something tricky and ambitious like a Space Sim, you get a bunch of extremists trying to oppress each other with their ideologies. While you're bickering the rest of us will be enjoying the game, I'm glad Star Citizen isn't going in the direction you lot want it to - it will make it a better game.
Awesomeguy186 well not really there are far worse comunity xD (TF2 with it's 6 years old kids screaming,COD,LoL, and a lot of others)
frontlineITA As someone with 400+ hours in TF2, I've not once heard a 6 year old scream. Maybe some 12 year olds trying to be stupid or funny, but that's the same with *any* game with mic chat so I'm not sure it really counts towards the "bad community" ranking. + the real community is always in the private-pub servers; the public servers that are secluded enough to where the playerbase is a decent mix of both good and novice players.
I'm afraid it's going to get itself beaten up from all the expectations. Games with such long and public development cycles like this build this fanatical base that expects it to be this ultimate thing that's perfectly suited to their tastes. When it isn't (and it never, ever is), they go absolutely batshit. I'm looking forward to SC, though not following it.
I'm dreading the inevitable fanboy revolts after launch. I mean can you imagine how hard some of these people who dropped hundreds of dollars on ships are going to rage when the game doesn't quite perfectly match their expectations?
Ahh when Elite is mostly a full game and star citizen is still not out yet oh how the years have not been nice
Nice vid Scott, thanks for your patronage of ED, hope to meet you in game sometime fella! BTW I do mean Sean Connery ;-)
Cheers mate, Always love your vids. :D
Watching you trying to land that Anaconda has just made my week!
Comment about the anaconda moving its cargo around to change center of gravity is exactly what Concorde used to do with its fuel within its hull.
All modern planes can move fuel between tanks to adjust trim.
I just bought this ship ingame last night, and it is righteous. Everything about it is worth the 120 million credits I paid for it.
I hope they add in large armadas and flagships. I would love to fly a Star Destroyer sized craft through the galaxy taking over planets and mining sectors.
Oh man, that long nose of this ship. it actually makes me sea sick haha :P when going forward or backward and that nose is going up and down. i guess my body feels like its on out the sea and waves.
Nice landing at 3:28 launchpad.
Love the ELiTE RADAR system... takes me back....
Playing SC preALPHA now but I'll be buying ED too.
SC has better graphics & physics but ED's simplified flight system appears easier to grasp and more fun.
I'll join you guys when the ridiculous costs come down from from $150 to a more reasonable $49.95 openBETA.
My god, if you put shield cell banks on this thing... what a monstrosity
Thanks for the demo!
The Peterbilt of space!
Looks amazing, can't wait to play.
it is mainly slowly cause its a "frigate" frigates are slow high damage rate high sheilds and slow speed in hyper space
That's allot of guns
you cant have to many guns, just too few hands
Man, docks looked so much better back then. I think they should at least make the insides of each docking station different. Randomized. Now they look a bit... much.
Proud to be an Elite Dangerous B A C K E R !
I now know what people mean by fear of the suns
Great video, im new to the game, PS4, love your channel
Looks way better then anything X:Rebirth can/will do. So you will get co-pilots and things?
Not yet, but that is to come as part of the future DLC along with wingmen and a whole plethora of good, good stuff. We are really, really early in the beta ATM so we're just testing the core mechanics, nothing more. :-)
Spiggs
Wingmen and NPC crew are part of the initial release, they are not DLC.
Indeed you are right, I stand corrected. So that's even better then ! :D
Sweet. Hope the playable ships get a little bigger too.
