"these alien bases are just the beginning" Hearing this in 2021... Sadge
lets hope it starts kicking up again now! won't be as busy on odyssey once its fully out and opens up a whole new oppurutnity for this stuff
get ready to swat some bugs using your elite feet
I take it it never got solved and there's no more Thargoid stuff? :(
My opinion is that we just haven’t figured it out yet😙
That game fells...abandoned! A bit of bread here and there to keep the fans interested, but nothing really good!
The eggs will hatch. Whatever they hatch will use the map to find out where they need to go. And the whole structure that they are in isn't only a base, but a ship itself. Just a theory though.
FineVisionz what if by activating the structure we are helping the eggs hatch
BRONCOS997 You can shoot the eggs. They pop. I guess we can ruin their century old plan lol
Yeah, that's my feeling too: It's a biodrone carrier or construction site. They're building a navy and army but for what reason (after all, they might not be interested in us) remains to be seen.
FineVisionz a programmed invasion/colonization..not too shabby.
if you get close to these eggs, get out of your ship in your suit, and when u are very, very close, take your helmet off :3
I didn't know the developers of Elite Dangerous would actually make it so players have to solve puzzles with out-of-game sources like the audio spectrograph to get that image. that's awesome!!
itsa really not. this isnt an arg. this is a game thats already complex enough
@@joshkstruble Complexity is cool
This is absolutely going to ruin my transport business.
If the system on the left is merope and the system on the right is sol as it has eight planets and earth with the moon right next to it in the image and the bottom centre is the system he's currently in (HIP 14909) is it possible to triangulate a position between all of these systems and see if it leads to the mystery top system or planet.
Also I know this is just my far out theory but is there an easy way for this to be noticed by some of the big groups like canonn who would be willing to work the theory
Like that shit guys
Not Sol... someplace else. If it were Sol... there are MANY more moons in our system then the single one shown in the message. Perhaps it will be the Col 70 home system that the UP's reference (we'll know when we find the permits :) ).
Probably leads to raxxla
Pure beauty in visual and audio design.
I been grabbing a bunch of them And leaving them outside so people can go inside the bases.
HeyGuy4321
You are the hero in this story. The guys killing others as they arrive, they are the villains.
HeyGuy4321 I like you
You're a good person my friend
A very good person
You da real MVP
awesome. im heading there asap. and thank u
Straight out of Prometheus. Love it!
Exactly my thought, he.
Teivel Belial Except that there arent xeno morphs trying to rip your skull out of the SRV
yet!
You mean Alien.
I won't be surprised if a facehugger tried to kiss the HUD. Better recap all those xenomorphology classes I took back in the 80s, hahaha. So I guess corrosive ammo won't work here... Btw, is Weyland-Yutani still hiring? =)))))))))))) Allright, allright, I'll get my coat, sheesh :|
The cinematography in this at every point was fantastic. From every panning shot over the settlement, inside the alien galaxy map, to the slow glide out at the end, really top quality video making, As well as fantastic music to fit the mood.
Exactly what I was thinking, this man knows what he's doing, you can see it even in the way he narrates things. Beautiful
His voice though:-) brillaint, the best videos iv ever seen. well designed. you have my sub
Thank you so much! :)
Anyone see the similarities of the image map and the voyager 1 disc?
like the wierd gold disk we sent in the probe? carrying info about humans, that would be cool af
Went out there, activated the machine like Obsidian did there and as i went outside with my SRV, a Thargoid ship appeared and scanned mySRV. Unfortunately I have no video of that. Anyone else had that experience and have a proof of this?BTW love your videos Obsidian. Please keep up this excellent work. I'm sure we all appreciate your efforts in making these videos. :)
Its been almost four years.... and even with the combined talents and minds of the community, this vast galaxy mystery that is the Thargoids is yet to be uncovered. Amazing. Simply brilliant
You have the same profile picture as a friend of mine on Xbox.... weird coincidence lol
This is what water must taste like after living in a desert.
5chr4pn3ll underrated comment
Unfortunately that still feels like a tiny drop of water to me. I'm still dying of thirst.
HERE THEY COME! -Puts tin foil hat on*
You got a spare one? This whole update scares me.
Bargomorphic Sure, here have this, it is dangerous out here. *You obtained a lv 1 tin foil hat!*
Maybe the galaxy is all the planets they "own"? It only showed a couple 100 and we know there is billions of stars.
That's pretty awesome. And i'm not even a player of the game! but i love to watch these videos. Thanks for posting!
This entire thing baffled me so much, I had to make a comment. The way you did the outro was Amazing.
Being so speechless at everything that was shown in the video, The outro really set the mood with the tune playing in the background while my brain was still processing everything.
Very good video, As always! Keep it up!
Pretty awesome Mr Ant as always.
Credit where credit is due FDEV. *Stands & applauds*
their lead gameplay designer may have a questionable way of bringing fun, but one thing is for sure, the art team know what they are doing!
You always nail the camera angles in your videos. This one was especially well done.
What if the flower ships aren't to blame for the recent attack given that the green corrosion on the Fed ships is also present on the derilict bases, and the flower ships are there to investigate the distress call just as the players are investigating the distress call? The ships that have attacked the Feds are the same ships that brought down the three crashed flower ships. Just a thought but I'd rather not go to war over a case of "Wrong place, wrong time."
Great video once more, Mr. Ant!
Fdev is once more excused. This is fantastic!
no. no they're not. Not even close. that's not even close to being content.
The design of that alien thing on the planet, made me think only one person; H.R. Giger.
This is the first video I've seen by you Obsidian and it was amazing. Thank you for the video.
Thank you Obsidian for covering everything on this topic. I am currently on SW2 Expedition, so I cannot witness it myself, but thanks to you, I can witness whole thargoid mystery.
Thank you so much for gathering this together!
You are my source for ED, i dont play it (tried but couldnt get into it), so i just get the most interesting parts from your channel. Just great work and thank you very much for the amazing content you put out.
Excellent vid OA! A veritable one stop shop for all the relevant info about this amazing new discovery :D
it is very strange structure thank you for covering this Obsidian your videos are the ones I really wait for !
So many new videos ObsidianAnt... Working hard! I love how cinematic your videos are. No one else does Elite videos quite the same way.
Fantastic video sir! I've seen a fair few of these but as always, you've managed to capture the best. Wonderful.
uau hats off to elites graphic and sound designers, that is totally spectacular, i can only imagine how atmospheric planets and gas giants will look like
Wow this is very interesting. The fact that theirs two different galaxies from the audio msg makes me think of a parallel universe or the thargoids home, ill be keeping a close eye on this stuff, nice video Ant
Playing this with the Alien theme in the background = immersion +100%
Maybe the Thargoid language is spectrographic.
That seems kinda logical because of the transmissions. I wish I could visit the locations, but I'm too terrified of getting blasted to hell by NPC bandits or other players. I don't want to engage in combat, I just want to explore the galaxies in the games universe. I wish Elite Dangerous added just an exploration portion game mode with no threats.
@@thatonebear6848 You do realize the game is called Elite "Dangerous", right?
@@mattsmechanicalssi5833 yeah I'm not a troglodyte. I can read english. I just always have had issues with pirates interdicting me out of hyper space and wiping me off out so it's fucking annoying to become broke from having to pay for a new ship every twenty seconds.
@@thatonebear6848 hit up an escort wing man. watch em mess up anyone who tries to interdict you.
The cinematics in this video were some of the best elite ones I've seen
I love how these videos are now relivent to me. playing elite dangerous on ps4
Tom Crute I’m on PS4 as well. I can’t find this planet in this system. Did u find it?
If EVA will be added to Elite Dangerous, than these bases would be creepy to walk around.
KingOf TheCreepers it would be truly atmospheric indeed
Very good angles and cutting! I like it :)
The Silent Cartographer..
I felt like watching nature documentary. Exelent work.
Amazing video ObsidianAnt. Thanks!
awesome!! this is real teaser content.. this is what makes people play. 10/10
I'm sure when the "tharg stat" gets closer to the capital worlds, something is going to happen
Never clicked adnotation that fast
best visual every don by FDev great job guys
I feel like I'm watching one of National Geographic's documentaries... Amazing!
Time to start playing this game again
i love how the devs make the aliens. theyre so..alien and god the sound design
this game just keeps getting more and more awesome!
this just proves that the elite programmers are immensely clever. such creativity and imagination.
oh wow... that's actually awesome...
Good to see they are finally doing interesting things to progress this
thargoid machine 🅱roke
luke probert Understandable have a nice day
what if all these thargoid maps point to a massive thargoid hard drive full of memes?
WhiteRice 🅱oneless Thargoid machine 🅱roke
Can i get a WOAH thargoid
it sBin so fast
Frontier should have focused more on things like this for Odyssey. I refuse to buy it but my main concern isn't the normal things I hear about re: Odyssey's deployment; instead it's the possibility that Frontier has now just dumped all their "give-a-shi**" into the bin so they could appease players and get paid, rather than putting actual thought and art into the game as seen in this video. Thank you OA for your time and all the videos!
I dont play this game but I love watching videos about it. It looks amazing.
I'm not an Elite Dangerous player, but the Thargoids really intrigue me
I literally just watched Prometheus on the plane, this is like exactly the same lol
And now I finished the video and there's even a map room and holograms telling you what to do?? Wow there is no difference from the movie at all
My guess it was a mobile industrial area of some sort. It probably was building at least Corvette/Clipper-class or maybe even capship-class starships. It has likely exhausted all the planet's useful resources and the Scavengers are ROVs picking any remaining useful materials before the factory ship leaves.
I'm sure that the central structure is the starship itself and everything else are waste products and off-casts from the ship fabrication process. Why can't you get into the
most of them? Simple: The factory ships are getting ready to leave and the inner airlock doors were sealed. The one discovered by the Canonn group is likely active. The display they found may be a navigational aid or it could be a strategic map showing targets identified by the UAs and UPs.
It is quite possible that the Bugs are mass-producing heavy combat ships; why is anyone's guess but I suspect those maps might help players figure out where they're planning to strike first.
Holy fuck that was awesome.
realy nice made video, thx for resuming so well the events :)
Great video work on this one, btw.
Here just to drop a blue thumb but I won't watch this one until I experience more in game.
Keep up the good work OA ! :-)
Wow. This game had / has so much potential.
For the next puzzle you need a Commodore 64 and a tape drive.
such an awesome video, thank you!
Great video as always.
even if the game stuggle to keep up, bit props to the design and story team for this one!
Super awesome job !
Did you ever like Ridley Scott Alien? Did you like Prometheus? Did you like Gigerish style? FD NAILED ALL OF IT. Fucking 10 out of 10. HR Giger whould be proud.
excellent video
There are probably 3 bases. One should activate the other. When all 3 are activated at the same time, something will probably come out of Sagittarius or hatch from it
woh, neat. Now I need to get a probe and a artifact to try this for myself. thanks!
Was just watching an ED video I saw in the sidebar, a video of some cmdrs screwing around with a flower ship at the barnacle site. When the poster entered freecam mode and got an up close look of the flower ship, I noticed that there seem to be 4 spindly green... well, they look like tethers of some sort, reaching back to the witchspace portal. Don't know if anyone else has seen this, or if there's any speculation about it and if it reveals anything about how Thargoids travel. My huuuuuuge stretch of a theory is that the light-show/map inside the base is a map of the Thargoid's home galaxy, and that they've managed to figure out witchspace enough to be able to cross immeasurable distances to other galaxy's for whatever their reason may be... i.e. the milky way. And those tethers are some sort of link back to their galaxy. It's a massive stretch, I know, but I felt like speculating. Super excited for all of this to pan out.
GREAT SCOTT! AMAZING!
Thanks for the spoiler alert :) I'll be back to watch this when I find it in game. I just wish some of the forum users could understand that not everyone wants to watch the game on YT.
I'm usually the first to bash FD for their slow progress on a game and questionable game design, but I can't help being amazed at how they bring us to finally encountering these aliens. They are truly fantastic visually, very unique. And this cave is a cherry on top of this alien cake. So atmospheric, and so scary. At the same time it brings an inner explorer in everybody, as a magnet it attracts pilots of all sorts just to see what's there. What is it. And what awaits us.
Also, one more mention of a sound design. Part of the game pretty much nobody can complain about. It's out of this world.
Can you share the link for the spectrogram you used for this, please? 🙏🏼
I tried using one online but can't adjust frequency gauge to make image show up properly. Many thanks!
o7
And I am only 25k lys away :(
Hell Yeah! This is the kinda stuff Elite needs instead of crafting
I just love the content in 21:9!
AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!
Truly awe inspiring 😎
I love these mysteries. I do hope they don't just stop when 2.4 arrives.
When you ran the audio through the spectrograph, all i could think was "HOLY SHIT"
This made me buy this game
Thanks OA!!! :)
Reminds me of the Enders game books
hell i love these things about thargoids and those mysteries and i don wanna to fight with them i dont want thargoids to be just enemy NPC i wanna learn from them and wanna them to guide our journeys through the galaxy and be on higher state of mind where they no more do violence
But the simple minded will want to pew-pew and a truly interactive aspect (us+aliens) will be lost.
110% with you
If there is war, I will join the thargoids.
what did you said Leslie?
Well look at the Thargoids now shooting everything they see in open space. So much for learning the secret of life huh?
Elite Dangerous you sexy mysterious beast I love you, all these clues, objects and places get me so hyped up for what will come next
Wow. I'm even more excited to play this game now. I got to get an Anaconda.
shit... im out exploring... think i better head back :) awesome vid!
WOAH that is cool. I wish the Thargoids were friendly :( their tech could literally change the face of the galaxy in human hands.
Awesome stuff.
Holy.Shit.
I really have to get back into this game
Very impressive indeed
bring an ancient relic it does something completely diffrent!!love ur vids man
feels like I'm watching a documentary :D
Looks like someone at FDev saw Prometheus
The three sets of horizontal and vertical lines in the center of the image almost look like the units from the Pioneer plaques, if so, they could be distances, coordinates, or something else! Or maybe they did find some of our probes after all!
