In this video I use a graphics mod called SweetFX which enhances / changes the graphics when compared to the basic version. I have a guide on how to mod the graphics here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIosi...

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your Elite: Dangerous videos, and how excited I am about playing it. I've been playing computer games since 1980 - in fact, I changed my career after graduating from college because of them. I've never heard of Elite: Dangerous (admittedly, I've slowed down in my gaming in the last decade). I only stumbled across this game because I watched a few videos about No Man's Sky, which did not appeal to me, not only because of the controversies, but because of the procedurally generated planets and universe. I started playing Space Engine recently, and although more to my tastes, it still lacked a "reason" to explore. Then I found Elite: Dangerous, and after having watched a couple of your videos, I'm hooked!
Thanks again.
It's great to hear you like the videos! And yes Elite is a rather special game, it really is a shame that it isn't more widely known. I hope you enjoy the game! :)
_No Mans Sky_ is okay but gets boring after a few days. I'm also looking at _Elite Dangerous_ now as a full time Space game to get seriously involved in. I've also been playing computer games since 1979 on an Atari console...Asteroids, Missile Command, Space Invaders, Cowboys, and Superman...lol then went onto a Sinclair Spectrum 48k in 1982...and onwards....what a climb its been too...lol. Anyway _Elite Dangerous_ looks like one of the best Space games/sims I've seen....getting hooked too!

HeyGuy4321 Choc chip, yeah sure yum yum!

I played the original 8 bit Elite on my C64 back in the mid 80s when I should have been studying hard at high school. It was a totally immersive experience which I was hooked on for a long long time. I made it to Elite after a very long time. I had millions of credits in the bank a maxxed out Cobra with military engines and shields and beam weapons everywhere. Pirates ran away from me. Even in anarchy systems and in squads of 6 ships or more. They didn't last long and I cleaned up on bounties. I was eager to play ED when I first heard of it it looked stunning and promised a 21st Century trip into my teenage memories and imagination, but found the actual game difficult to get started in. Your videos will help immensely. Right On Commander...
im in that same boat now! loved Elite too, I remember too I had a nuclear button too that just blew up all around as a last resort.
I had it on amiga. Fun times :)
Frontier should hire you or something. A lot of people will find lots of useful content here.
+Quester91 yes.....Frontier should see all ObsidianAnt vidoes......i just love this channel.....
+Quester91 Doubt it, since he can't even tell us simple controls for these actions he talks about. kinda useless tbh.
+Anton Zuykov yeah why to take money from something you are going to do anyway right?
+AFTER DARK Frontier doesn't do that, either tbh
+AFTER DARK Or you could play the tutorials or check the help section by pressing the escape key while in game and looking at the controls but that would be to hard for most people LOL i mapped all my keys to a thrustmaster hotas flight stick in under 10 minutes it's really not that hard...once you play for more then 10 minutes.
600 hours in and this video is teaching me things I didn't even know about! Good vid ObsidianAnt!
This is fantastic! I've not seen another "Getting Started" video for Elite that goes into such detail! it's like a video version of the game manual! Quite useful! I'm a stellar cartographer in Elite (at least in the solo game so far).
I know this video is two years old but I just wanted to say thanks. I just got this on the Ps4 and for the past two days I've given myself a fat lip and bloodied nose beating my head against this game. . . It's glorious! I almost suffocated myself when I activated my weapons in a dogfight, puny power supply, haha. But as much as I love space sims, I don't hold a candle to my Dad. So I've been essentially playtesting, grinding and digging throughout online tips and tutorials to try to ease his inevitable frustrations. Your videos and others like it have been a massive help. Good Luck on the path, and once again Thank You for your efforts.
Obsidian, thank you very much for this! I already know (more or less) how to play E:D but I appreciate time and effort you put into this. Plus, it's nice to see what the process is like for you...
+microphytobenthos You are welcome! I hope it helps.
Seconded. This was super helpful, thanks!
To avoid overshooting, map a button for 75% throttle. Press it when you get to about 6 or 7 seconds away from your target. I use 7 to be safe but 6 works as long as your quick. Trust your ship to keep the throttle at the right setting. Might look like you're going too fast but it will slow down in time.
Wow, your voice is awesome, you could tell me anything and I would listen to every word.
thought the same after listening for 2 seconds straight :)
Merlin Müller ikr
It's sleek and silky yet still has an edge. It's interestingly accented but perfectly clear. It's like a movie villain's, but benevolent and trustworthy.
Its the voice of a train driver
the perfect villain!
A tutorial on UA-cam, without ego babble. It doesn't get better than this.
Wow - this is an awesome guide! I've recently purchased the game, and despite it being around a year old, I see that they're adding new content all the time, so it should definitely be a worthwhile play - thank you :3
I'm a total noob to space sims, but picked up ED after getting my Rift because it sounded really cool in vid reviews. Your tutorials are some of the most helpful I've found. Well, after a rudimentary basics vid or two... I recommend people check out a HUD tutorial first. Great work!
What a fantastic video. I love the quality and I love your voice! You explain everything so its not mind numbingly boring but it still makes sense! Thanks and I cannot wait to pick up this game!
Thank you so much. Finally a tutorial video what actually starts with a simple starter ship and shows a beginner how to do, and how to do it.
Hi a massive thank you for your time in creating your tutorial videos! They are a massive help to all the PS4 guys and gals that have purchased Elite Dangerous. I have not got my pre-ordered copy yet but have watched your tutorials twice over.
Thank you for your extremely thorough and well-spoken tutorial. I was looking for a good one to send to a friend who just picked up the game and most of the others are very poor quality and don't properly and thoroughly cover the breadth of the systems. Your dedication and attention to detail is hugely appreciated.
ObsidianAnt thank you for making this video. I loved playing Freelancer and have been looking for a modern game to quench that thirst. Your tutorials have played a major part in my decision to purchase the game and the amount of information you have given has been a huge help. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial mate, lots of useful info. Very well presented too, no umming and ahhing! You’ve helped a lot, will watch your other videos for advice.
The tone, voice over and pace of your videos are perfect for UA-cam. Thank you for the hard work.
This guide saved the game for me. I spend 3 hours trying to learn ED on my own and just ended up frustrated and confused. It's moronic that the game doesn't show me the ropes on it's own or provide better guidance to noobs.
This is exactly why the game is called 'ELITE'. Not 'newbie friendly space simulator'. I played Elite back in the day on C64, and E:D is wayyyyyy (read: WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY) easier than it's predecessor.
Same it basically took all my money in fines just for loitering, and firing. Oops sorry but why the fuck take all the little money I had. I left in 5 seconds of the warning, and the guns were out for no reason. The fuck
Did you not do the tutorials?
@sander 721 Me, too. This video tutorial was great!
@@Shpongful You’re the reason people hate this game and its community. You can’t be an elite soldier until you understand how to fire a gun. Make sense, moron?
This video is still helping new players, of which I am probably close to the newest. Thanks for this great tutorial. I learned a ton!
Only just starting out in Elite, very in depth video which waslacking in all the other videos I watched. Thanks!
Great work. Will wait in anticipation for the following videos!
Holy cow, that's a complex game. I just bought it having no idea I'd be in for so much. It looks very interesting, but I feel like I'll need to commit more than I have time to right now.
Your tutorial is amazing dude, clarified a lot of the game ins and outs. Many thanks for the help
Just this second using your fantastic guide to get started. Was all a bit overwhelming to begin with but this is helping me untold amounts. Thanks a lot mate!!!
I really appreciate your videos sir. This was the first one that I watched before I started, and was a huge help. I like the tone, delivery, and editing of your work. I am now 180 hours played, and about to get my Asp Explorer. Maybe I will take a trip out to Obsidian Station, and pay further respect. Keep up the great work sir! You are the real Galnet.
I really enjoyed the video! I can understand you, no blasting music, you don't make me watch the entire Point A to Point B trip to name a few of my pet peeves. Loved it!!! That is a subscribe and favorite from me. I am looking forward to go through your entire video list. Keep up the good work!!!
+Mike Nelson Thank you! :)
Your series is making this game so much more accessible, even over 2 years later :) Thank you
So much great info here. Finally after about a year of messing around off and on with this game I have an idea of how to properly play.
This vid was fucking awesome. Has lots of information, no messing around, and also the voice is pretty damn relaxing.
Excellent starter guide -- much appreciated, ObsidianAnt!
Yet again another awesome video sir , thanks so much for the help !
Super helpful video. Just started the PS4 version, Legendary Edition and this answered a lot of questions I had. Now, when I get home from work, I can get started on some cartography and courier missions.
I just watched 10 seconds, and instantly subscribed. Your voice man....it's like watching a BBC documentary.
The soundtracks you use for the background of this tutorial are so calm, love it. I wish there was a larger variety of these in game as well.
I have subscribed to your channel.
crystal clear commentary no junk I love it, big help and il be watching.
I just got the game, and after several videos, you were the only one to effectively explain how to properly jump between systems. Thank you, sir.
I can imagine this would get really awesome in VR and with the proper peripherals.
Cheers bud:) I just started playing the game, I watched your video while it was downloading and it helped alot it probably saved me many hours :)
Thank you for making all of these videos for Elite: Dangerous. I just downloaded the game today and can't wait to get started, but it seems like there's a lot to learn so, I really appreciate your videos. :)
+aroundtheclock You're welcome. Once you get into the game, it is pretty awesome!
Very Helpful man! Thanks and keep up the good work. haven't played this yet because it is downloading. Looks complex but very fun. So excited!
Really enjoy your videos. Extremely detailed and for someone like me who wants to play Elite Dangerous but feel it's overwhelming your tutorials are priceless.
Thank you so much for your efforts.
+TheOmmadawn Thank you, and you are very welcome! :)
I can watch this for hours, so much useful information
Very nice tutorial. A pleasure to watch.
Thank you 🙏 Thanks to you I got the game and Thanks to you I didn't get lost or frustrated with the it. There's so much to learn as you start up he game which got overwhelming but this video the others I've seen from you got me hooked and made my journey so much easier. Your videos got me into the game and I was able to convince a few friends to hop on with me and taught them what i learned from you. I love your content Sir! Keep it up
Been watching you for some time now and finally picked up Elite during the sale. And this video has helped me a lot on getting started. So hopefully you make the other parts soon so I can keep playing ;)
Great work, man! I'm waiting for my payment to come thru on Steam so I can download the game and this was the perfect video to watch while I wait!
I've owned this game a few months now and it is daunting every time I boot it up, but your videos always give me confidence just to go out and have fun.
Aye fantastic videos! New to the game and iv been useing your videos for tips! Keep it up!
Best Tutorial for absolute beginners I found till now. Thanks ObsidianAnt
Thank you very much for this detailed walkthrough! As a new player, its hard to get my bearings - this really helped. :-)
Amazing content, succinct and to the point while also explaining things in a very easy to understand way. Also really good voice! haha
Thank you so much Obsidian!!! I was really lost trying those training missions.
This was fantastic for a newb like me. Even as out dated as this it. Thanks for the time and upload. Looking forward to viewing more of your content
You got an instant subscribe from me the second I hit the full screen button and my 21:9 monitor actually went full screen!
Great video. You did a good job with the editing and production. Probably the best beginner video I have watched on Elite. Thank you!
+Jeff Crites Thank you! Glad you liked it. :)
Not only is this very helpful, but OH MY GOD your voice is beautiful! It's So calming, it's amazing! :D
That was bloody good. It really let me know what i needed. The freedom of elite dangerous is both a blessing and a curse, but with your help i can find the way I want to play. Really helps with any confusion I had before
This is a very good start-up tutorial! Thank you!
this playlist of tutorial is the best that i found on yt. it would help immensely to have an updated version of it
40 year Elite Veteran. Just returned after a near 2 year break. Enjoyed infiltrating an installation, and fighting my way out.
Also hiding in the cold cloud of an exploded asteroid i'd split, while I was core mining. Awesome stuff back in this game.
From a new player, I find this very helpful, appreciate the guide!
Great video for a beginner and even for someone who has been playing a while. I recently bought the horizon dlc as I built a new pc and wanted to get back into the game. I found a picked up a few tips I was unaware of. Earned a sub from me, great stuff.
Great tutorial. Just got the game this week and have enjoyed it immensely. :)
This was really helpful, thanks for making this :)
Thank you kind sir for a very informative and engaging video! Keep em coming!
Thank you so much for these videos they've helped so much, i love this game but not sure what i'm doing at the moment.
Will definitely be subbing
Awesome series of videos. I've started following you since you've been busy with the Horizons, which I bought and eagerly awaiting its arrival. This video is great for me because I'm an explorer, and never done any combat at all. I'm heading now back to cash in and get myself into an outfitted sidey, just to get into combat a bit. Looking forward to your new vids!
great video great info and your voice commentary is spot on.
liked and subbed 😀
Awesome guide sir, I will definitely be watching your other video's.
I LOVE YOUR VOICE. THE MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND MAKES IT EVEN BETTER!!! GREAT VIDEO TOO!!!
Very nice tutorial. Thanks for taking the time out to do these.
Great video looking forward to getting this game next week
Your videos are awesome man, keep it up
You've got one hell of an amazing accent and tone to your voice, this tutorial was magnificent, thank you and also..Subscribed !
My only problem is when you point out things on the hud or screen. It's not clear what you're talking about, like "the white dot on your lower right" etc.. It would be nice when editing the video to make arrows or circle/highlight what you're talking about to make things clearer when pointing out points of interest.
I just backtrack and pause the video, then look around until I can see what he's referring to. It's worked for me.
@@trombonemunroe wastes your time. Happy to waste his time. Better narration etc makes for more thumbs-up.
Good idea
Thank you for your videos, discovered Elite only recently, very excited to try it
the blue interface is so relaxing, Love to have that too compared to the orange.
Yeah that actually looks a lot better
I just bought the game and so hyped! Ty for this nice video. Now it's a little easier to start ^^
Extremely helpful video. Thanks.
this is very useful ! i'll spread it to some mates who bought it recently :)
This was a truly great tutorial. I learned a lot from it that I would not have learned form the game. I am still surprised that with how long E:D has been out, there is no in depth tutorial as of yet covering this stuff.
Really great video! Thanks you for this.
Thank you, this was incredibly helpful in getting me going.
Great intro really helped. More comprehensive than the others thanks :)
Top video man, I learned a whole lot
Thanks a lot for your great video,was really helpful for my first steps into the game.
I needed this, just in time as well!
Can't wait for more! *two thumbs up*
This was awesome. Thanks so much dude
Excellent tutorial!! Well done...
Thank you. I needed this video.
damn you ObsidianAnt....your videos made me buy this game :D
....downloading now while watching your tutorial ....I think is going to be a very long night :P
Thanks for the great video. I'm a complete nube, and its a great intro to the game, Definitely going to see more.
excellent video, helped clearly lay out a lot of points. thanks
I feel like I'm being tutorialised by Jason Statham.
🤣🤣🤣 IKR!
I hear Michael Caine
I know my comment is 4 years later but it also almost sounds like Jango Fett and the clones.
TUTORIALIZED btw lol
Omg thnk u so much just bought this game and was having so much trouble with it this vid helped so much u just earnt a sub
Your tutorials and info videos are better than anything Frontier does. Well done
I’m downloading this as I type this message. I’m so excited! I need all the tutorials I can find! Haha!
Ohh man thank you so much for this video!
Your awesome ObsidianAnt!
