Maelstrom center revealed (major spoilers)
Просмотров 331Год назад
Today I was one of 20 CMDRs to receive a free Thargoid Pulse Neutralizer in Elite Dangerous Odyssey (Update 15), so I was one of the earliest to reach the center of a Thargoid Maelstrom. Here's what I saw. [Major spoilers (obviously!)]
New double-engineered FSDs = new time record (1h 17m 16s)
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 года назад
The new double-engineered 6A FSDs given as rewards for the recent CG make it possible to shave a few jumps off of long voyages in Elite Dangerous. This video demonstrates my new time record for the Colonia-Sol trip: 1h 17m 16s (about 13% faster than previous record). Background: As before, the route used here was computed by an A* search algorithm I implemented that exhaustively explores the se...
Sol to Colonia in under 1.5hrs: second time record
Просмотров 11 тыс.5 лет назад
I reached a new milestone today in Elite Dangerous interstellar route optimization: The 1.5hr barrier in Sol-to-Colonia travel has been broken. Total flight time: 1h 29m 0s. Update: I broke this record in Nov 2021 when the game developers released an improved hyperspace drive: ruclips.net/video/N9IbmeHU4eE/видео.htmlsi=6bMkLjxDL4zODl6E
Sol to Colonia in 1h 38m 11s (new time record)
Просмотров 52 тыс.5 лет назад
Here's my first record-breaking trip from Sol to Colonia in Elite Dangerous. To achieve this time, I wrote a custom route-plotter (based on the A* search algorithm) that computes an optimal route from EDSM star charts, taking into account jump range increases due to fuel consumption, and fast refueling opportunities from main sequence stars co-located with neutron stars. The result is a 76-hop ...

    Not sure if you know this; but synthing can also be used for fuel retention as long as you don't vantage the range. So if one day get unlucky and say you combo up a couple brown dwarfs, synth and that should help give you the range to reach a fuel star. For those who didn't know; you're welcome.

    That's great but you have to know where all neutron stars are located on trajectory when you set a course to Colonia and how do you succeed to jump 91 ly at once, how your Anaconda doesn't has any damages to scoop fuel so close of stars many important information i would like to know when I will be ready to go to Colonia

    • @atberk3391
      @atberk3391 4 месяца назад

      For finding neutron stars, you can plot routes from spansh neutron plotter. How ever it wont calculate the fuel consumption for jumps you make so you need to manually jump to a system that has a scoopable star. Actually, there is an advanced route plotter named "Galaxy plotter" (again by spansh) which does that for you but it is a little complex than neutron plotter due to requirement of ship build link from coriolis. If you are planning to travel to colonia, its not that hard to do. I made halfway there with my 22 ly combat cutter then boarded to a carrier nearby to ride me the rest of the way. It was a very tiring journey but it wasn't that hard. With a 72 ly jump range, you can make it there with only 100 jumps by neutron boosting. Only 2h journey.

  • @rockycodeman9933
    @rockycodeman9933 6 месяцев назад

    My first trip to Colonia was something I'll never forget, took me something like 2 weeks! I didn't rush to Colonia, had a Krait Phantom rigged up with some where around 52 LY jump range and decided I wanted to get out and explore way out into the black. I'd never really gone a long trip like that before, so I just plotted a course straight to Colonia, fastest route using the Neutron Highway. I was probably a little under a quarter of the way there when I just got really bored of the constant jumping. So I decided to change it up a bit, probably had like 500 course changes visiting black holes I could find in the galaxy map, Wolf Ray-et stars, small nebula's, I even discovered a number of ELW's. Climbed some really tall mountains in my SRV, this was before the days of Odyssey of course. But I actually enjoyed charting new places, where no one has gone before. I slowly made my way to Colonia on my zig zagged route with tons of Exploration data to turn in. But before I did that I thought to myself, I made it this far, maybe I can go further? Just about around this time they finally put that station at the Galactic Centre, near Sag A*. So I plotted a rout there, and zig zagged my way there again, collecting tons and tons of data from strange new worlds, also discovering a few new anomalies along the way. I finally made it all the way there, and decided to hang on to all my Cartography data again. And truthfully it was getting some what tiresome, since almost everything is the same, when it comes to a lot of the systems if they even have anything at all. I debated with myself for a while whether or not I should head back to the bubble, or press on and travel the expanse all the way to Beagle Point. Sure enough I did, just so I could say I was there and back. that trip took a lot longer than I thought it would've at the time, probably cause I was playing it later at night. I remember I dozed off mid jump and woke up with my ship just flying into the corona of a star. Nearly shit myself haha. But I eventually made it there, and it really did feel special. Not everyone who plays Elite comes out here, and it was my first time ever actually looking out into complete blackness of the intergalactic void, it really is a strange feeling just flying out into blackness in supercruise. At this time I actually started watching the Star Trek: Voyager series, and it felt fitting considering I was flying out in the opposite end of the galaxy trying to get home to Earth. Eventually I decided it was time to leave and I plotted my course back. On my way back to the Centre for a pit stop to repair my ship, I got blocked by a mass of permit locked systems, and I had to plot my way around a huge expanse of stars that were just inaccessible for some reason which I thought was really odd, my imagination getting the better of me I thought it was Frontier planning something over there for Raxxla, or something like that. But I got around it, discovered a bunch more things. Finally made it back to the Centre, and I took a break for a little while. But when I came back, there was a community goal going on at the time, I forget what it was all about but it was asking for Commander's to deliver Cartography data, and seeing as I had about a whole months worth of it, I started my trek back to the bubble again. After a whole month of traveling across the Milky Way I finally docked with the station that was taking the data, and I collected some where around 900 million credits, just from Cartography data alone, and Mind you my former balance was some where around like 32 million? or something like that, and that boosted me into the top 5% AA of the community goal which was a first for me. But as I leave and I go to my home system, I jumped into a white dwarf system, and after using those and Neutron stars to speed my journey like before, I tried to get a boost from it. Bad choice... Literally one jump after I docked back in the bubble for the first time in a long time, a freakin white dwarf star destroys my ship, and my pride... I really underestimated that star, but lesson learned at least, don't mess with White Dwarfs, and if you do then be absolutely careful. But yeah! that was my story, I'll never forget it. It was a long road getting from there to here.

      When I decided to travel to Colonia it was simply for the purpose of doing it. I left the bubble around August of 2023 and made my way up to Colonia. Once I made it, I decided to continue my sightseeing by heading to the galactic center and to the upper edge of the galaxy, where no stars existed. I took some cool screenshots while in an SRV with the compete milkyway in view. By the time I returned to the bubble it was nearly 7 months later. Before I left the bubble, I would consistently find other commanders hanging around in the local stations, but by the time I returned, 7 months later, I have yet to see anyone. It made me sad to think that in the time of my absence, the game just died. By the time I had returned home, I had achieved Elite explorer status, and subsequently visited Jameson Memorial station where I purchased myself a fresh new Anaconda (I previously had a Krait mk2 with a jump range of 53 lys). Now I'm fitting it with the gear to turn it into a jumpaconda with the hope of returning to the galactic center in the near future.
