Canyons will be re-introduced with the introduction of space-legs, where you can earn CRs by walking up a canyon, then back down, then back up, then back down...
Some other cool ones are The World of Death (orbits tightly around a neutron star or white dwarf (forgetting which at the moment), passing through the ejection cones and exclusion zone), and also the colliding worlds that pass through each other a few times each year.
Stopped playing Elite like 2 years ago. But always find myself coming back to Obsidian Ants videos for his great production quality, interesting videos and his smooth AF narration abilities. Keep it up
My real hope for this year is the exploration improvement + the payable DLC will give exploration some much need graphical and mechanic improvement. I really hope the payable DLC is atmospheric landings jsut to give vistas/graphics a real boost. eg: Rivers/lakes/cloud/weather and maybe even procedural vegetation?
'Mount Neverest' on a moon in Nervi 3 is also great to visit. It is extremely high, some kilometres in fact and it is great for base jumping in an SRV! Our second meetup was hosted on this planet this very weekend
New to elite, been playing on and off for a few months, and I just made my first foray outside the Bubble and into the choalsack nebula. It was a fun an interesting trip, almost died lol. Got a little too close for comfort when trying to fuel scoop. Ended up damaging my super cruise assist and assisted landing computer. So as to land at a Stanton the manual way. Actually my first time landing on a station without using a computer to do it for me lol.
1:11 Challenge accepted! I've climbed mountains with near 90° angles in my SRV and have made it to the very top of them. I've done it before and I'll do it again!
I just found out about this game yesterday and started playing right away.. Im all in but im stil trying to figure out what to do n stuff. i love the exploring. excited for round 2 tonight lol
I want to thank you so much... finally there's an inspiring combination for the asp ship kit. Lately ive wanted to settle on the asp for regular use.. but there's just something about its hull shape which never satisfies. The raider kit isn't as good as the one on the corvette (which was the first good enough to buy imo) and until now the regular ship kit has looked woeful. Thank you!
@@RandomNameLastName811 now that nuggets just for going to cost five billion dollars with a 10 million-dollar upkeep every week. And that's just the base upkeep. with the upgrades and everything is possible to probably get up to 25 million maybe 30 million a week just to keep your Fleet carrier
Oh, it's just awesome you continue this series dear @ObsidianAnt! Many players (especially the new ones) often aren't aware how many awesome and breathtaking places and moments Elite can provide, so IMHO this video is one of the MUST SHARE IMMEDIATELY ones ;-) Just a little bit of nitpicking: can it be that Mitterand Hollow actually doesn't have a day-night-cycle? From my observations on my last visit, it looked like the moon is locked towards the main light source, and the "night" is actually an eclipse caused by New Africa. ;-) Keep up your wonderful work Mr. Ant!
Fdev "we have discovered too many CMDR's having fun on unique planets and such. And as such have decided to remove them temporarily as we address the fun issue."
Another good video Obsidian, it inspired me to visit Synuefe VM-D c15-10 planet A2. I flew down to the bottom of one of the gorges, 20km deep 300m wide. Unfortunately I couldn't find any stable terrain at the bottom to land on. A real dark and creepy experience. Highly recommended.
Cmdr. Obsidian Ant : Another Fine Video ! Thank you for sharing another delightful show of never before seen planets. I appreciate your video's and the time you take to make them and share them :-)
Whenever you play elite dangerous do you get a scenes of peace and a hint of intimidation from the universe? How small you are embraced by the infinite
I am out in the black scanning planets that have never been discovered and then mapping some of the interesting ones. If I land on one of these planets does the generation system have a chance of placing alien artifacts or guardian ruins or anything of a constructed nature?
Are we able to make suggestions? It would be really cool to see our planets in your videos. There's a beautiful system I have discovered on my way to colonia, and I'll put it in comments if you'd like.
When I scan a system and see the cracks in a planet I get excited and rush over, but the geology is never as extreme as I’d like... that first planet looks awesome! I cannot wait to get out there and discover more!
I recently discovered two great ones past the galactic center. One system is a neutron star and I think it's a red dwarf, tightly orbiting each other. There are two planets very near that have spectacular views of both. I also found two ice planets with rings orbiting each other, and you can land on one. It's a pretty view. There is some amazing stuff in this game if you take the time to look. I keep hoping I'll find a massive Earth-like planet, but I'm beginning to think they didn't put that in this game.
I like this game and I consider my self kinda of lucky to have join just before the odyssey’s uodate. Even though I have lost a lot of founding moment on elite I kinda see things differently of old players wich they tent to see the game with different eye then new players. I love this game and I don’t want to Grow tired of it. There is so much out there for me yet!!!
Im planning expeditions in my DBX to planets featured in various youtube channels to document the changes that have taken place from 2.4 to 3.0. I'm hoping for some very interesting results, what with the changes made to rocky, metal rich and high metal content planets.
i remember approaching that planet for the first time and seeing the moon whizz by....scared the life out of me. this game in VR already scares me lol with the scale! call me a whimp sure but its such a humbling experience!
The reason why you’re no longer in scooping range is because the planets orbit. If you look, it is pretty elliptical. So it has moved outside of the scoop range
how come you're not using Anaconda for exploration? I have 76ly range on my conda, paired with 6A fuel scoop, exploration is so much faster. I can get across 1000ly in just few minutes.
Hi @ObsidianAnt apart from what you explained in this truly amazing video is there any other things i could do to find unusual things in this great game as being really new to this game I'm unsure of how i would go about finding unusual beautiful planets etc etc i would be very grateful for any advice yourself or even other experienced players could give me thank you
I tried this game recently, and I have to say, the controls are atrocious. I'm going to have to re-map EVERYthing, after figuring out how it works in the first place.
One thing I hated about EVE Online, was the sameness of the background (with a brownish tinge) and basically a handful of planets, rearranged slightly from system to system, varying numbers, but always the same appearance, and never could even get a closer look.
The planets at the end of the video are from old footage - some of it two years old. Unfortunately the locations are lost in the dusty recesses of my memory. :) A good point for future videos though...
Is there a place where strange or pretty planets are common ? Where should I look ? The planets I find are always jut bland.They're usually just brown and rocky,or icy
Unfortunately, even after the planetary surface improvements, most planets are quite generic after a while. Unless you get extremely lucky and find an amazing one yourself, you’ll have to follow somebody else’s directions to get to such star systems.
There is a water ice planet you can land on in Lambda 1 next to Cubeo, and it’s the only landable and geologically active planet in the system it’s amazing
That moon is a great mistake they must keep. I love it because it gives players a cool location that is definitely unique to say the least 😂 can't wait to try land on it
Now to lose my SRV in those hellishly deep canyons. I was stuck at the base of Pomeche 2C for almost 3 days before I was able to finally get my ass out.
It's a real shame that explorable planets in elite don't have more greatly exaggerate features like in this video, landing on a baron featureless moon can only provide so much entertainment, one thing I've always wanted to do in elite would be to explore the debris field of 2 recently collided planets, or actually whiteness a black hole consuming the gasses of a nearby star, unfortunately the game doesn't simulate either of those things
This video shows the real reason why people still play Elite Dangerous. Not the engineering or power play, but pure and simple discovery. Shame that Frontier doesn't seem to grasp the hint and instead choose to get rid of such amazing places in favor of adding drones and thargoid killing weapons. Like that one station that would pass through the planet's ring every so often. Or that moon that you could warp through while you were among the planet's rings.
I've stopped going out and looking my self. It never looks as good as your videos do and it leaves me disappointed. So thanks for sharing and damn you for making my version of the game feel inadequate even though it's the same minus the ultra wide and the reshade. When will E:D enable the nvidia Game filter/reshade thing?
Oh, you go ahead and try it on the PS4... I can't stand playing on the PC even with/without Vive any longer, but the game really looks like shiiite on the console (not even mentioning the broken skybox). Oh, well, at least they fixed the tilt bug...
Myeah, seems they don't give a god damn f'in shiiite about the regular PS4 anymore... Planets look like Minecraft now.... But again, at least they fixed the tilt bug.
Blue light accelerates retinal aging, just saying, that's why elite is in orange, warm colors. And yes i also love blue color, but i change it for the better of my eyes.
Uuuuh... Is it normal that i can't go in the Synuefe one? I've tried just now, the ship doesn't engage glide, just drops from supercruise, and if i try to go down at normal speed the computer tells me i need a permit... And since i don't want trouble i leaved.
I suspect the planet that was close to the star was perhaps at perihelion when you were able to scoop fuel, unless ED doesn't use elliptical orbits, and this time you were closer to aphelion.
Canyons have been removed until the dev team can figure out a way to make them less interesting.
The Burning Sensation i read that as canons and shat myself
This is sarcasm, right? Ffs Fdev would actually do this...
TheGuardDuck It already happened. Several planets similar to the first suddenly became flat after an update they did awhile back.
FatherGiliam
How long back?
Canyons will be re-introduced with the introduction of space-legs, where you can earn CRs by walking up a canyon, then back down, then back up, then back down...
Some other cool ones are The World of Death (orbits tightly around a neutron star or white dwarf (forgetting which at the moment), passing through the ejection cones and exclusion zone), and also the colliding worlds that pass through each other a few times each year.
boy, landing on the world of death is super scary.
Another beautifully produced video Obsidian, some cracking worlds there.
At Mitterand Hollow, moon lands on YOU :D
True that! Lol!
Omg I was there yesterday😂u right!!
I'm pretty sure I saw another fast going moon orbiting "New Africa" planet and it seems to be more fast
@@anomalycenter1197 that is Mitterand Hollow ahahahahah but it's ok to not remember the name of the moon, New Nfrica is quite easy to remember
Stopped playing Elite like 2 years ago. But always find myself coming back to Obsidian Ants videos for his great production quality, interesting videos and his smooth AF narration abilities. Keep it up

I want to thank you so much... finally there's an inspiring combination for the asp ship kit. Lately ive wanted to settle on the asp for regular use.. but there's just something about its hull shape which never satisfies. The raider kit isn't as good as the one on the corvette (which was the first good enough to buy imo) and until now the regular ship kit has looked woeful. Thank you!

Mitterrand is one of my favourite places. I go there frequently to jump around in the craters.
thank god you can't make money out of those cause the would be nerfed :P

I actually love the appearance on that first planet. Imagine how violent the plate tectonics and such must be to cause such a landscape
More like erosion by water or glaciers to get canyons like that. Problem is there's no overall topography from highlands to lowlands
Well done, as usual, Ant. The Camera Suite work gets better and better. Beautiful shot at 3:29.
Cmdr. Obsidian Ant : Another Fine Video ! Thank you for sharing another delightful show of never before seen planets. I appreciate your video's and the time you take to make them and share them :-)
Landing on Betelgeuse's planets, and the planets of stars like Betelgeuse, certainly looks like a treat. Possibly one of the greatest views in Elite.

Are we able to make suggestions? It would be really cool to see our planets in your videos. There's a beautiful system I have discovered on my way to colonia, and I'll put it in comments if you'd like.
@ 0:42 Reminds me of UV-6 from The Riddick movies, except it was an ice sort of planet.
When I scan a system and see the cracks in a planet I get excited and rush over, but the geology is never as extreme as I’d like... that first planet looks awesome!
I cannot wait to get out there and discover more!
Your voice is perfect for these types of videos!
I bet sitting on Mitterand Hollow in VR would give you seasick...or Earth sick ? Moon Sick...? Satellite sick ?
Witch one would it be ?
I could fly out there and let you know. ~lol~ So far, nothing in Elite has made me VR-sick, unlike many other VR titles I own.
It was eroded by fully semi-automatic ancient rivers

This video brought to you by the ObsidianAnt Tourism Board for Elite Dangerous.
You know I usually use my kitted out DBX for quick missions and to buy other ships, but this video just got me really interested in sight seeing.
omg i came by this video by chance by getting it in my recommended and now i really want to visit the second one. boy do i hope it still exists

Planets from the game Captain Blood, actually ;)
What is the green planet? It looks amazing and worth a visit
The reason why you’re no longer in scooping range is because the planets orbit. If you look, it is pretty elliptical. So it has moved outside of the scoop range
Great video man! Can you please let me know the name of the track at the end? Thanks

Do you think the ps4 version will get vr support? I know PSVR is garbage compared to the HTC and Oculous Rift but I can hope haha
The first planet looks like straight out of the 80s game Captain Blood. Cool.

you should go check out skardee, it has 3 planets that orbit less that 3 light seconds away from the star.
StudiousDewsh how far away is it from sol?
Alan Partridge not very., only about 90ly
All of those 3 planets are landable
Bring a low heat ship, or a LOT of heat sinks! DBX should do it.
Ghost Giraffe did a vid on it.
Skardee is terrifying, but incredibly worth the trip. Closest to landing inside of an atmosphere you'll currently get 👍
Fantastic video, these 3 are now on my list :)
