How Moons Are Colliding in Elite Dangerous
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 кві 2018
- Two moons collided in spectacular fashion, while two other moons in our Actual solar system also appear to be on a collision course.
One is a bug created by the Stellar Forge and the other is the exact same scenario but with a different outcome.
Though there are glitches with Elite's galaxy generating tool, some of these "glitches" can actually be explained with recent astronomical discoveries.
This is the first part of a series that will attempt to explain these crazy results from Elite’s Stellar Forge.

You call it being caught in the "gravity".
Devs call it "frame of reference".
Space people call it "Sphere of Influence".
We need more of you guys in here =P
Ksp players be like: 👁👄👁 s o i
@@zaretya9091 some ksp player watching a starlink mission will say haha the rocket is in LKO now I mean LEO oops.
“ Were gonna go deeper into Uranus , in an upcoming video “
Oh stahp
I was about to comment on that, hilarious haha!
Imagine if supernovas were in the game. You've made it almost to the galactic core, then all of the sudden the star you just jumped to is about to explode.
I remember dropping a cargo container of quiche and Pranav Antal propaganda at a local black hole, hoping to enlighten some inter dimensional beings. That night I actually dreamt(IRL) them chanting “one of us, one of us...”. Emergent gameplay or demon possession... either way this game is amazing.
lol
Only you can make a bug look so spectacular 😂
Honestly it wasn’t that hard to do I just pointed the camera and recorded. This place spoke for itself
I mean, technically it's not a bug. They just haven't included planetary collision physics in the game.
@@TechnoMinarchist unfortunately they never will. The servers would shit on themselves and explode if they did lol. I'm worried about fleet carriers this December. Every commander gets to have one? That's fucking amazingly awesome and exciting but the poor servers.
would be impressive if it actually registered the collision and not just a bad clipping issue.
One of the best glitches is the moon that is orbiting super close to it's earth like planet. It's super trippy to visit because it orbits so fast.
Ah yes the infamous Mitterrand Hallow :) funny enough David Braben said that that moon can stay in because it looks fun.
I don't normally stop to comment, but I really felt this video. I applaud your mixture of game commentary and astrophysics. One of the best Elite videos I've seen in years.
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that.
Ghost Giraffe I also just found your channel, and this game, and i wanted to say the same thing. No man's sky has me wanting more so I'm trying this beautiful game out
Thanks a ton pal!
I once found myself on a tiny moon orbiting it's earth-like world in under a minute, it was incredible to watch the planet rise and set so fast but I have to admit, since I play exclusively in VR, it actually made me dizzy as something that should be slow and steady was racing around me.
supernovas, gamma ray bursts, comets, proto stars with accretion disks, specific features on planets that are worth exploration data (not just the planets themselves), srv based exploration for data of said features, stellar collisions. These are just a few off the top of my head I wish elite had for explorers. Make it beautiful but also give it agency so that cmdrs have a reason to explore. Maybe something like 'scan 50 crystalline caves in sector (x) for this open ended community goal' get rewarded with a special crystal bobble head and credits.
Great! written these all down for some reason. They may not be in the game but they are definitely something interesting to cover in a different type of video.
I would love to see a supernova!!!!
Ooohhf, happening upon a Quark star~
You will have more luck with spaceengine at this point to see these kind of things sadly, just look at the latest videos, boy they are amazing.
spaceengine.org/blog180312/
While true space engine still doesn’t represent orbits as they are in real life. It has Janus and Epimetheus tidal locked on opposite sides of Saturn.
YESSSS LEARNING THINGS THROUGH ENTERTAINMENT!!!
It's the best!
I know! Especially when it's good entertainment!
I hope in the future the devs consider keeping glitches like these in the game. The fact that the ED community creates exploration events to witness these phenomena is just so cool and what makes the game different from so many other space sims. Bravo on the video sir
wow, Let's get some round of applause for you guys for this freaking awesome video
You're too kind =D
👏
Do you also clap when your plane lands or when a movie ends?
For anyone wondering more about the Janus transfer, it's also called the Hugh Janus Stretching!
1:04 When the universe is "mooning" you.
Haha
incredible work as always! i love the fact that not only does this channel upload funny elite dangerous stuff like space tourism, but also dives deep not only into -uranus- the science behind the game, but stuff that is going on in real life.
Thanks pal! Yeah it’s all so fun to dive into. Hope to keep making them entertaining, that’s the most important part :)
Hold the phone. ED short, astronomy doc and legitimately awesome gameplay critique/suggestion rolled into one? As if I didn't like this channel enough. Damn you, Mars! /shake fist
But seriously, exceptional work. The orbital path switching had completely passed me by.
Thanks bud! Really appreciate it.
Man you guys have a knack for creating beautiful shots within Elite. Great video.
Thanks a lot for that man:)
I love how you put links to "learn more", at the end..encouraging others to learn more about space exploration...you deserve every sub you have man good work!
Great video! Well explained. Beautiful shots! Thank you. I would like to see nova and supernova and possible collision of planets.
Yes some sort of change in the galaxy would be great.
I love these inspirational and educational videos. You use elite dangerous as a tool to inform, and I think that is absolutely wonderful!
Thanks pal. We learned a ton from this game too. returning the favor I suppose :)
Ghost Giraffe did notice some discrepancies though; Astrophysics is not an astrological thing, and, though you did mention this later, you did suggest that thanus and epimetheus were going to collide xD.
Just noting them so you are aware, if you weren't already ;-D
Land there and stare in awe..
...and remember this line..
*THE DREAM IS COLLAPSING*
That was a really interesting video. I enjoyed the mix and comparison of in-game observations with real life occurrences. I’d love to see more like this! Thanks for making and sharing it :)
Going to make a couple more like this but the research does take a while to do. So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for your comment :)
Great stuff, you guys make the best Elite videos. This is no exception. Keep it up!
That was incredibly interesting. I’m glad I found your channel. Your videos are so unique and easy to watch. ✌️
We are super happy you subed! Thanks for the comment
Ghost Giraffe, it was your outside the galactic plane vid that made me sub. I’m an explorer. Your vids are so inspiring for adventures.
Really cool video dude, I wasn't aware of these two moons colliding like that in the game, like you said, I hope FDev find a way to preserve this in-game to make it a tourist attraction. Also props for producing such a great and informative video, you really know your onions.
Thanks pal! It really fun to put stuff like this together:)
Okay, I admit, at first when watching this video I was somewhat disappointed it was not a parody of some sort. However, my opinion quickly changed as it perked my interest.
The views before, during, and after the collision were freaking spectacular! I for one, believe you have made your case, and hopefully FD will listen and leave this ‘accidental bug’ alone, allowing for other Cmdrs to witness this first hand, ( I mean come on FD - couldn’t your time be better spent working on other areas of the game?).
This is a great video, and you did a good job with the explanation, (education), of the phenomenon.
This is such a nice comment thank you so much. We hope to make more of these and some parodies too =D
Ok, I did expect Spawrks to get crushed and start swearing, then I realised proper documentary - awseome.
He did, we just didn’t include it in the vid ;)
I love your silly videos; but this was truly epic and educational. Thank you!
SO happy to hear that. Being entertaining is the core of what we want to be.
Wow this was a really good video!
I haven't watched the channel in a while, and just came back with this video. Seriously epic!
Thanks for stopping by :) happy that you did.
🤘 kick ass video man! Very well done! Elite is always full of surprises
Thanks! Yes it is :)
Man, I hope we don't have to see you go deeper into Uranus (some things should always stay private) Yet another fantastic vid, I enjoy these more serious vids just as much as your normal lunacy embracing content. Really interesting though, as I love hearing about astronomy and the stellar forge. I find it such a shame that Frontier remove any interesting little glitches like this. I've only played Elite for a year and I know there's loads of cool little oddities that have been removed, so us newish players miss out. Great vid and a truly epic Nineties montage. o7 Commander!!!
Thanks man for the great comment here. Yeah there are still loads of weird stuff out there. In fact there are lots of impossible star generations that seem legit but actually aren't. For example it's not too hard to find binary pulsars in the game but in the actual galaxy they are super super super rare.
It's a big galaxy and basically takes some time for players to run across these crazier stuff. Have fun out there!
Ghost Giraffe thanks a lot mate, and I look forward to your next adventure o7 Commander!!!
Bing, bong. Paging passenger Strange, passenger Dr Strange. The flight deck requests you return our beloved passenger liner to the regular dimension and get us the hell out of the mirror dimension !!! Your co-operation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you !
Ha ha thanks pal
This is one of the most badass videos I've seen in a while. I'm subscribing so I won't miss any new ones. Amazing job documenting an amazing game and ting it to an amazing real universe.
Thanks pal!
You know, I subbed back when you guys were just screwing around making fun little vids about my favorite game. Then something happened.. you started getting all sciencey. And I really liked it, cuz I am a science nerd like that. Now, you guys are making fun sciencey videos with my favorite game and it's abso-freakin-lutely awesome. Keep em coming, guys. Great job.
Thanks man! So happy that you've been with us all this time. Really appreciate it. And am very glad that all this stuff is still entertaining.
I love this video. Entertaining *and* educational. Freakin' love space.
It's the best! You're not too bad yourself there pal!
This video was funny, informative about in game and then I was surprised to see real life equivalents too. Was really relaxed calm pace to it but still interesting to hold my attention. Something different from my favourite space tourism and the cop one which is amazing amazing. I want one write an episode for it hahaha. Such a good mix of content.
Thank you like a ton for this comment. So glad to hear it wasn't boring. Yeah we love making the fun videos and will do so in the future. We also have access to loads of science and NASA stuff that we want to share with everyone. This really helps us know that we aren't off base with how we make videos =D Would love to hear your ideas too .
Loved the presentation of this video!!
The camera-angles you use, look so great. I just love what you do with this game. Please more of this type of video.
Thanks for noticing;) yes we definitely plan to make more like this
A different type of video than I have come to expect, but amazing none the less! Fly safe out there. o7
Thanks pal! Hope you'll like these. More to come along with the looney ones.
Wow, a serious video, and still excellent. Nice work. 😀
Thanks we do try sometimes ;)
This is my favorite kind of video you make (same with the one with the interviewed physicist).
What really impresses me from a technical standpoint is the fact that you can actually interact with both planets as they collide. My expectations were that at such a huge scale the planets and surfaces would be instanced, so if a planet collided you would only have collision detection and LoD with the planet you "landed" on, and the other would be a low poly LoD and you could pass through it.
Instead the planet is _actually_ there at a functional level, full res textures and collision detection.
YESHH NEW CONTENNT LOVE U GUYS
Love ya too!
Well... That was awesome. Looking forward to more like this! :)
Thanks ol' pal!
Top quality content that has taken too long for me too find. Hope you grow since you deserve it. Subscribed and shared ;)
Thanks pal! That really helps! Hope you’ll like what’s coming up :)
Just today I hopped on elite for the first time in months and tried to get into playing it again, but with owning every ship but a cutter and having all of them engineered how i like im just feeling like I don't have anything to really see or go do that's at all exciting or new. I love when things like this happen that bring people together to witness, especially when its a glitch. I wish there were more dynamic things to see or be apart of for end game players.
Hundreds of comments already saying what I wanted to say. But seriously, this is one rare gem. Well done, love the style, and love the report.
Thanks pal so happy to get your kind words :)
Mars! Your finally back! And your English has improved, great to see you back in a pilots seat buddy!
Beautiful footage! Thank you for your travels!
Thank you for you comment!
I first discovered you guys whilst awaiting the ps4 release of Elite- I subscribed shortly after! Awesome videos, keep up the great work y'all do!
SO happy you're still here! Thanks for the sub and the views =D
You deserve way more subscribers than you have right now.
You deserve more likes than I can give right now =D
aprilboyth34th it's soooo true
In all seriousness, we rely on people like you to get the word out, if you like us please tell your friends or post a link elsewhere! (It’s honestly the only way we can grow)
Ghost Giraffe I feel you. Been doing that after I saw this video! Keep up the great work.
Agree! Totally subscribed. Amazing work.
This is your calling, guys.
This is your best work, in my opinion.
More like this, please. :)
Thanks pal will do!
You definitely made this video my man keep up the good work
Spectacular video, combining Elite Dangerous mishaps and factual astrophysics. Bonus points for "diving deeper into Uranus".
Haha thanks! Yeah we have a couple more systems like this to cover so look out for those ;)
Wow ! Awesome video ! Thanks for sharing :-)
Thank you for watching and even more for commenting. Glad you enjoyed it =D
Actually, the time where you flown between the 2 moons is extremely reminiscent of star citizen's coil asteroids, which is a huge asteroid that was splintered in 2. Normally, they should have reunited, but the rock is within a dense gas cloud. As such, the gaz's friction to the rock ended up charging them in the same way clouds charge themselves in electricity. This caused the two halves to remain separate, all the while massive electrical surges crack within the asteroids. Flying though the coil is quite the challenge in fact, the asteroids are very closely pulled together, and there is the danger of the lighting hitting your ship and disrupting system's. As of now a WIP version of the coil can be seen in the SQ42 demo.
As for the video, I completely agree. Things such as this may be unintentional, they re yet one of the most interesting part of exploration. And this is kind of sad when you think about it, almost every aspect of the game is more fun when its broken or not working the way the devs intended. Combat is more rewarding when the reward are glitched, trade is only interesting when setting about trying to find loopholes in the game for insane profits, and exploration is only rewarding when finding super unusual places, which most of the time are purely the result of bugs. Maybe FDev could learn from this, learn that fun is achieved through novelty, through meaningful change and interaction, not from grind.
That’s really interesting about Star Citizen. I’ll have to look into that. Are there slot of things like that? It’s a handmade play area right?
Ghost Giraffe RN the thing is not in universe, as RN the game is limited to crusader and its moons. However there is some of those "oddities" you can find in the verse. May it be crashed capital ships, or a stonedge made out of noodle vending machines, there is a lot of those hand placed stuff even in the alpha. And with procedural assisted content, that is going to become more and more common
Ghost Giraffe as for the thing I am referring to, it is aviable on this video, at the 29:30 mark of the single player vertical slice. This is the version without the live commentary, I recommend to watch the one with commentary because there is a lot of info and interesting tidbits. Something very interesting especially considering what is shows is a secondary mission. ua-cam.com/video/BHR1aEdTA4M/v-deo.html
Thanks we’ll check this out :)
Your stuff is great, I was just expecting to see a pair of moons glitching through each other but I ended up learning something new. The research you do is great!
Thanks pal! Yeah we figured we had to make this more than a strange montage. Fortunately there was so real science to talk about lol
Montage and science FTW!!!!
Excellent video - I learned something but not sure quite what yet. Interesting that ED Stellar Forge is creating glitchy things that occur for real, and also very cool that you guys are discovering them and educating people in such a fun way :3 Outstanding as the guy below me said.
Thanks so much! Glad it was at least entertaining XD. We are going to make more science videos with NASA soon but a focus on how their current missions relate to sci-fi games.
That was the third recorded collision last February. The next collision should be on July 11, 2018 at ~5:10 am.(in game time) Give or take a couple of hours.
I have a video on my channel from the second collision in October of 2017.
He does! Everyone Watch =D
THIS. This is what makes me want to go out into the black and explore more in-game. I hope the FDev don't simply patch this kind of thing out. Obviously, the code is wrong - the two moons should've either collided or simply switched places - and they could/should fix that because it would be cool to watch two celestial bodies collide - but I hope they don't just move the moons or make it so they bounce off one another or something.
Of course they will patch it out they nerf zap fun from every aspect game that what the devs do best ..
You've made my day dude! Thanks a lot for that!!!
Really happy to hear that! Thank you =D
That was really epic AND interesting! Good work!
Hurayy!
I thougt it was another clickbait shitty video (like Down to Earth Astronomy) when I saw video title but I was completely wrong.. this is tottaly worth to watch from the beginning till the end guys. Don't miss it !
Glad it didn’t disappoint
No you won't disappoint, keep that style.. it is cleary you are offering good contents in your videos o7
So which "shitty clickbait" video from D2EA do you mean?
Henrik D. D2EA is full of shitty clickbait.
Wow this game amazes me everyday. it's come so far I can't wait to see how far they will go with it
Awesome video! Keep up the good work.
As an astronomy/space geek and huge Elite fan this was a kick ass video. Nicely done! 11/10. Would watch again.
Thanks a bunch that’s really great to hear :)
That is one Epic orbit.
i wish E:D could just leave those in.. but then the stellar forge is probably harder to update.
I havnt seen any stellar thing yet..
other then a tiny Water Giant with Giant rings holding a (no atmo) Ammonia world with 3 landable icecubes in orbit. and with the right timing it allows for some epic pictures. but thats just an epic pile of celestial bodies orbiting eachother not really like this.
its the first place i plan to visit before arriving in the bubble again because of the reworked surfaces.
But first.. im waiting for the MFG Crosswind pedals :)
As a space nut this was extremely interesting (and also it was really well made)
You boys are the best!
Thanks! That’s really neat to hear.
Loving your work guys!
Awesome video, very well put together! I am also a fan of ED and Astronomy.
BTW, LMAOOOOOO at "we are going to go deeper into Uranus" at the very end lololol
Thanks pal! Very happy you liked this. We hope to make more science videos
Fantastic video, thought provoking is an understatement on what this game could do. I've clocked 3000 hours on it and still feel like I've not finished the tutorial.
Yeah it’s pretty awesome:)
Good, cause now i'm hungry
Haha
Amazing video and great science! :-)
Thanks! We try to combine in-game and real world science these days
I love your videos. this makes me want to get this game even more. its such a beautiful design and it looks like the exploration is almost endless.
Hope to see you out there soon
This was actually a really cool, well done video, thanks, I enjoyed this.
Thanks for the kind words =D
Absolutely awesome Mars. Loved it!
Thanks my bud!
Really cool to see you guys covering this. "Ghost Giraffe News Network" Reporting.
2022 is round the corner :D
I learned so much from this video, thank you for doing such a professional job putting it together and researching the IRL science - love this channel :)
Thanks! Hope you enjoy our other science videos too
Remarkable video =] i like the crazy glitches :D and science wrappings are shiny, too!
Thanks ol buddy! Glad you liked this one
I want to preface this comment by saying this was an amazing video and I loved it (just like all your videos) and I hope you guys keep doing more of them
Working on two videos but it’s taking a while to travel to:)
Such is the nature of touring space I suppose lol.
Great to hear :D
astronomical discoveries... not astrological discoveries....lol... great video.... loved it.
I know... it was too late to correct ohhh the shame!!
I had chills while watching this awesome video, i'm pretty new to Elite Dangerous but you did an amazing job here, congratulations!
Thanks bud! And welcome to the club :)
There are so many "real" spectacular events but we see none of them in ED. That's why we get excited about this glitches :D great video and editing.
Agreed
Great video Mars!
Thank you!
I think it would be cool to see Rouge Blackholes sweeping across space and Neutron stars eating systems as they pass through them.
This would be cool and who is to say this isn't happening but just at a slow cosmic pace? No no I get what you mean and yes that would be awesome.
Although this would be a neat thing to see, the odds of it happening are pretty low. Even in the tightly packed galactic core, the empty space between stars is so enormous that the odds of any star system directly interacting at close range with another is vanishingly small, and even if you found one, it would most likely just look like an ordinary binary for most of the time that the "collision" is happening. The black hole or Neutron star would also be more likely to kick -out- any planets or stars in a system it interacts with. Actually falling -into- a random gravity well is harder than you'd think.
Excellent quality and presentation. Thanks for the effort.
Thank you so much for the compliment =D We do try our best, more to come!
You guys are my Favorite Elite Dangerous Content Creators. Absolutely Glorious!
would be great to see this feature in the Game. where they do rip each other apart and become rings.
When worlds collide you'll laugh so hard you swear you've died when worlds collide
lol that’s all I could think of too! So glad someone else did
No lie I think I smiled the whole time I watched this =] !!!!
Awww thanks that really made our week:)
This is the best video of your collection that I have seen...
Thanks pal! If you enjoyed this try the Star Within a Stat video too :)
Bravo. Great video, learned something new in the game and our universe. Keep it up!
Thanks! You got it
Love you.
Love you more! Thanks! How’s tricks?
I'm doing fine, this weekend I plan on doing the finishing touches for my next montage and then moving into editing. I've got so many systems I want to share with you but i can because I don't want to spoil you lol
That being said I sent you a dm over twitter, I was looking to hopefully get some help from you on something minor with video editing. Also say hello to Mars for me as always.
What happens if you try to cross the “cave” as it’s on course to collide!!!???? Is it certain doom for those who loiter???, can you frame shift between them?!, so many questions!!!!
You get just passed by one of the moons since the other moon is basically no-clipping through everything. But to jump out you are very much mass locked
You make such wonderful videos! This was awesome! I love the idea of seeking out planetary events. Maybe your scanner could detect atypical orbits like you were talking about in advance? Give everyone some time to get together and watch the fireworks
We found two gas giants that are going to collide tomorrow. We are doing a live stream about it both today and tomorrow if your around :) thanks!
Can you do one of these videos but on one of the (many?) super-fast orbiting planets in-game? I've heard of/seen a few that have basically impossible orbiting speeds.
Great video by the way! I really did enjoy the way you blended the game with real-life facts and data. I find Elite: Dangerous to be an extraordinarily fascinating game in terms of its sheer depth and 'realism' to size and detail, so to see it represented in a 'Documentary' style video is very satisfying to watch. Keep it up! :)
That’s a good idea! Thanks so much:) yeah Elite is a special game when it comes to realism.
Some inception going on here
Mooooonntaaaaagggeee tiiimee :D
=D
Awesome video. Epic track for the end. Loved it.
Yeah check out his SoundCloud it’s really great
I love your videos, but this one was the best on this channel :D
Thanks so much :)
