Selor Kiith that’s pretty close minded if you ask me. Keep in mind I’m not saying space games should focus on cockpit and interior stuff, it’s 100% a secondary focus if anything. All I’m saying is in a game where people develop complex and effective social structures, you could make a lot out of the potential to leave your ship and interact with others. Devote more time to making the eve news longer so when it does repeat it doesn’t feel so repetitive, you could implement a bar with screen effects for alcohol and illegal drugs, on the large scale you could have meeting rooms for officers. Possibly a room for yourself that’s customizable, you could make high tier NPCs drop trinkets that you could put in your room or cockpit or whatever to make it personal. As it stands currently a lot of people spend the game docked up for hours at a time. Is it crazy to imagine giving them a more interactive environment?

To be truly effective those Farraguts should travel as a unit similar to a naval Carrier Battle Group. The US Navy's Carriers project very powerful force. But only when used together with Missle Cruisers, Battleships, Submarines etc. If we sent our Carriers into fights by themselves they'd be defeated fairly easily.

@@RocksDLightning worth it taking a farragut out of the grip of those damm pirates even if it gets destroyed the only thing in elite i like to kill more than pirates is griefers
I did one of these fights once. It was awesome. Took me about an hour total. My vette wasn't engineered right for this kind of fight and I repeatedly had to retreat and reboot to reset my shields.
I'd say they're grade 5 efficient beams, one of them with regeneration sequence and the other perhaps oversized, but I can't be sure. If it was me I'd run overcharged thermal vent and then a cluster cap distributor
Mainly because cap ships run on the "base" game strengh weapons, while every single other NPC has been powercrept using engineers. In fact what is most threatening with the capital ships isn't their guns, its their fighter wing! because these capital ships always had a special fighter squadron that they deployed when they first emerge in the system. That's nice and all, these fighters used to be very weak but be present in large numbers, on top of being in a wing meaning they would only focus one target at a time. but then the ship launched fighters appeared, and since frontier apparently does not know what variants are, they simply changed the code of existing fighters to create the "new" ship launched fighters. Very nice, but obviously these new fighters were given vastly increased damage to compensate for the fact that even the mightiest of vessels could just afford to launch one... exept frontier forgot these. And obviously these waves of fighters focusing on a single guy would spell disaster to all but the most shieldtanked of ships. I remember back when i was still a vanilla pleb, running around with a vanilla shield tanked anaconda. It had been more than enough to shrugg almost all enemies in the game, tho being more than challenging when it came to dealing with the elite engineered vessels. However against these shitboys i lasted exactly 11 seconds. Nowadays they don't always show up, so its better, but the balance of combat is still thrown out the side. There is a gigantic diffrence between Elite, non engineered vessels and elite engineered ones, and don't even get me started on PVP
Really not the type of battle I hoped Elite Dangerous would have. I wish they'd have multiple capital shipswith tons of fighters flying, strafing, bombing, and dogfighting. In here we just fly near those things, sit on our ass, and hold fire until the module goes to 0%. Not fun at all.
@@chand911 Because the lame mechanics that existed back then are still here. Flying backwards and shooting is still the best strategy against AI and most pvp encounters. But flying backwards / backpedaling looks and is extremely ridiculous.
@@blanknblank1 Why? It's space, you can fly any direction you want and point wherever you want. That's how space works. Sounds like you'd be happier in a flight sim
@@aennaenn7468 Elite Dangerous is very much a sandbox space sim exploration game. For the most part you're in space and there is no large object exerting a pull on you. That's why you can freely fly in three dimensions. It's still lame that backpedaling and jousting are the major ways to fight in this game. Most of the time you quite literally go near a ship, hold fire until your WEP is drained and repeat over and over again. If Frontier Developments want Elite Dangerous to be a successful game, they need to work harder on game mechanics and gameplay. But it looks like you're content with reverse thrusting and minimal manuvering. To each their own lol
Yeah or if at least instead of staying relatively stationary .. it /tried/ in even the slightest way to roll to keep those heat exhausts out of your firing arc.. or to point the broadside weapons back at you
Enemy is green because of the changes to the hud color. With the old method, when you used certain colors the enemy/friendly was swaped around. There are Mich better ways to do it today. Look up edhm (elite dangerous hud mod) its what i use today 😁

You can't actualy destroy the ship. You can only force it to retreat. Would love to see them blow up
MarcoPolo a capital ship blowing up would probably kill everything around it in a radius of 20-30km 😂
@@RocksDLightning worth it taking a farragut out of the grip of those damm pirates even if it gets destroyed
the only thing in elite i like to kill more than pirates is griefers
I like the green HUD wish you could change it on PS4
Wow, is the music actually from gameplay? It's amazing
all of it is from the game. No sounds or music has been added. Elite has an awesome sound team.
Wait... so you gained NOTHING from this?? What the hell Fdev the reward should be something like 3 mil minimmun
3 mil arent worth the time uploading this video, anything under 30 is not worth doing
dont forget how much he would have gotten from bounties tho
Maybe since he was in spectator the thing didn't show on the HUD.
wtf are those guns oh my god
Size 4 huge beam lasers, aka death star lasers...
Imagine he goes bug hunt with them
How do pirates even get access to Farragut Class ships xD
find a few broken ones and sow em together thargoids left plenty
Well, the federation is kinda corrupt, like the empire

What in gods name did you do to those lasers bro
Necrons
Battlecruisers are so awesome!!!!!
what's your favorite color?
Not the color you think :P
@@MarcoPoloDk blue?
I did one of these fights once. It was awesome. Took me about an hour total. My vette wasn't engineered right for this kind of fight and I repeatedly had to retreat and reboot to reset my shields.
What were you using? Bi-weaves?
What kind of beam lasers are you using?
I think they are from engineers. But not 100% sure
I'd say they're grade 5 efficient beams, one of them with regeneration sequence and the other perhaps oversized, but I can't be sure.
If it was me I'd run overcharged thermal vent and then a cluster cap distributor
Yoooooooooo!!! Note to self, call marcopolo when ya dun fucked up and got yaself outnumbered again
ya know engineerings gone to far when ya can 1v1 a cap ship withought moving
I like how he was browsing his sub-targets menu xD
UNLIMITED POWWWER!
why praites has the Farragut?it isn't federation only?
Most likely, it was boarded and taken over.
There are 3 listed Farragut battle cruisers suspected to be taken by pirates
@@andromeda54612 and 1 captured by the empire
That looked kind of boring. I guess this is late game with top gear so he could just ignore the guns from the ship?
that and he used multiple shield batteries to recharge his shields
that and well Capital Ships are very lack luster. I've seen people "kill" them in Sidewinders
Mainly because cap ships run on the "base" game strengh weapons, while every single other NPC has been powercrept using engineers. In fact what is most threatening with the capital ships isn't their guns, its their fighter wing!
because these capital ships always had a special fighter squadron that they deployed when they first emerge in the system. That's nice and all, these fighters used to be very weak but be present in large numbers, on top of being in a wing meaning they would only focus one target at a time.
but then the ship launched fighters appeared, and since frontier apparently does not know what variants are, they simply changed the code of existing fighters to create the "new" ship launched fighters. Very nice, but obviously these new fighters were given vastly increased damage to compensate for the fact that even the mightiest of vessels could just afford to launch one... exept frontier forgot these.
And obviously these waves of fighters focusing on a single guy would spell disaster to all but the most shieldtanked of ships. I remember back when i was still a vanilla pleb, running around with a vanilla shield tanked anaconda. It had been more than enough to shrugg almost all enemies in the game, tho being more than challenging when it came to dealing with the elite engineered vessels. However against these shitboys i lasted exactly 11 seconds. Nowadays they don't always show up, so its better, but the balance of combat is still thrown out the side. There is a gigantic diffrence between Elite, non engineered vessels and elite engineered ones, and don't even get me started on PVP
Build ?
Really not the type of battle I hoped Elite Dangerous would have. I wish they'd have multiple capital shipswith tons of fighters flying, strafing, bombing, and dogfighting. In here we just fly near those things, sit on our ass, and hold fire until the module goes to 0%. Not fun at all.
This game came out 5 years ago and you're complaining about it now?
@@chand911 Because the lame mechanics that existed back then are still here. Flying backwards and shooting is still the best strategy against AI and most pvp encounters. But flying backwards / backpedaling looks and is extremely ridiculous.
@@blanknblank1
Why?
It's space, you can fly any direction you want and point wherever you want.
That's how space works.
Sounds like you'd be happier in a flight sim
@@aennaenn7468 Elite Dangerous is very much a sandbox space sim exploration game. For the most part you're in space and there is no large object exerting a pull on you. That's why you can freely fly in three dimensions. It's still lame that backpedaling and jousting are the major ways to fight in this game. Most of the time you quite literally go near a ship, hold fire until your WEP is drained and repeat over and over again. If Frontier Developments want Elite Dangerous to be a successful game, they need to work harder on game mechanics and gameplay.
But it looks like you're content with reverse thrusting and minimal manuvering. To each their own lol
Yeah or if at least instead of staying relatively stationary .. it /tried/ in even the slightest way to roll to keep those heat exhausts out of your firing arc.. or to point the broadside weapons back at you
1:05 Galaxy class vs Tie fighters
1 capital class ship vs 5 cobras? BETTER SEND IN ANOTHER FARRAGUT
Zeppeli The second Farragut was actually controlled by pirates. In that case, the Feds should have sent 3 more Farraguts just as a precaution.
A PIRATE FARRAGUT FOK FOK FOK FOK! GO FETCH MY BROWN PANTS COMPUTER!!!
The pirate what Farragut????
Who sailed blueprint and nanoforge to pirate ?
(This is a starsector reference)
Why green is ennemy and red mate? that weird '-'
green is easier to see in the darkness of space
Enemy is green because of the changes to the hud color. With the old method, when you used certain colors the enemy/friendly was swaped around. There are Mich better ways to do it today. Look up edhm (elite dangerous hud mod) its what i use today 😁
do you have a Coriolis of your build? Specifically what shields and engineering on the ship?
s.orbis.zone/6ca_ this is the build
Pirates have battlecruisers!? Wtf!
that the Pirates life
they stole every ship remember that this is pirate logic
@@kenzo680yt but a ship like that should have been scuttled before it could be captured
@@ATigerShark the Federation is extremely corrupt. I wouldn’t be surprised if some Navy official “lost” a battlecruiser in exchange for a sum of credits.
