  • The Wow Signal was not an Elite Dangerous event. This was not a DLC or a story mission. The Wow signal was real. This was a real event in astronomy. Science confirmed it and still cannot figure out what the wow signal was. And because Elite Dangerous is an impossibly accurate space simulator, I can fly out to where the wow signal came from in VR. And gaining that sense of perspective and scale that only VR can give you was so fascinating, again...

    Elite dangerous I believe has all catalogued stars in it. It also has randomly generated stars/planets using something called “stellar forge.” Stellar forge was so accurate that when TRAPPIST-1 was found, players realized there was a star system that was nearly identical to the TRAPPIST-1 system in almost the same spot.

    From the wiki "In 2012, on the 35th anniversary of the Wow! signal, Arecibo Observatory beamed a digital stream towards Hipparcos 34511, 33277, and 43587.[36] The transmission consisted of approximately 10,000 Twitter messages solicited for the purpose by the National Geographic Channel, bearing the hashtag "#ChasingUFOs" (a promotion for one of the channel's TV series).[37] The sponsor also included a series of video vignettes featuring verbal messages from various celebrities"

    Your first discoveries won't really 'matter' until you're out in the boonies of space. A lot of what you see, like 'first discovered LHS 451' is YOUR first time discovering it! Now, for it to actually 'matter,' you'll have to travel a ways out of inhabited space, think 400-600ly (maybe even more, depending on how unlucky you are with routing) and you'll have the possibility of getting your name on a system, or planetary body using FSS.

      yeah. remember most players have some sort of destination in mind - a nebula to explore, a black hole, or just going back to the bubble - so most discoveries are largely on accident while taking the shortest path. multiply by thousands of ships passing through and you still have little gaps everywhere for anyone who likes to smell the space roses

    7:40 if you did actually sit there for the amount of time the display showed, you wouldn't actually arrive at the system. The hyperspace jumps are basically loading screens for next systems, so if you did wait you'd just arrive at the marker with the game thinking you're still in the previous system since it couldn't load the one you were flying to

    Also I believe you may have the route planner set to "Most economical" not "Fastest" as your ship should have been able to do that journey in about 7 jumps if my math is correct!

    I found two systems next to each other that were less than 1 light year apart once. Took a few hours to get to the other system in súper-cruise. Unfortunately when you arrive at where the other system should be it’s just empty space, however it does in fact mark it as a location on your HUD. If your HUD says something is X light years away, it actually just put a point in space that many light years away from you. It’s just that nothing is actually there in the game engine until you travel to the system through hyperspace. That’s how I also learned Elite generates a new skybox for each system your in every time you go into hyperspace, manually placing all the stars in the sky as they would appear.

    7:48 I thought I'd give some perspective of how long that would actually take to get there, seeing as ">1 year" is pretty vague and can mean anything from 1 year to an infinite timespan. So you are travelling at 138 m/s, and 7.95 light years is about 75,211,200,819,750,160 metres. 75,211,200,819,750,160 divided by 138 is about 545,008,701,592,392 seconds, which when we convert to years is about 17,270,283.6 years. You'd have to leave your pc on for about 172,703 centuries to get to that destination at that speed. Of course, your ship would've run out of fuel much before, before the first day, considering you consume about 0.42 tons of fuel per hour, and with the Adder's (the ship you are currently flying) base fuel capacity of 8 tons (assuming you have not added any extra fuel tanks), you would run out of fuel after about 19 hours of flying. Of course you could turn off the unneeded modules to reduce this, those being your weapons, shield etc. (anything that isn't the reactor and life support, as you could turn off your thrusters and let inertia carry you the way there) to marginally improve this, however it would not be much of an improvement in the grand scheme of things, I'd estimate at most doubling your time that you are able to float there while remaining alive, which isn't nearly enough to make it there. Without the luxury of supercruise or the frame shift drive. You'd be unable to make it even a percent of a percent of the way there. Even if we miraculously made the ship have an infinite amount of fuel, would your computer be able to handle running for that long? Probably not... Would Elite Dangerous servers still keep going? Hell, would humanity even still be alive 17 million years in the future?
    Considering we don't have either of those technologies in real life (yet), and our closest stellar neighbor being Proxima Centauri at only 4.24 light years away, we have marginally less distance to travel. However, the furthest away object that we have sent out of our solar system, voyager 1, which has been operating for about 45 years. Has only made it out 23.307 billion km, while it may sound like a lot, it's only about 0.0024 lightyears away from us. We have made shockingly small strides in terms of space travel. Humans have never been past our own moon, and it is unlikely we'll see much progress similar to Elite Dangerous, in our life time, our children's lifetime, or even by the current time in Elite Dangerous, the year 3308. Which is why I'm grateful for something like Elite Dangerous, Because I can get a taste of the enormous amount of things out there, as well as the enormous lack of things out there. Something that I know that I would probably never get to experience. I'm also grateful I have a VR headset, because I have experienced what you have, standing in the shoes of the Commander of a spacecraft capable of travelling incomprehensible distances in the blink of an eye. I'm grateful that I live in the time that I can experience video-games, which can put me in a fantastical setting and allow me to experience it, rather than being a bystander to a story.

    One thing though, you have a direction now. Now you have a point 78Ly away you can "draw" a line from Sol to that, and then extend it until you are around 200Ly from Sol and check that area. There's a lovely group of crazy lunatics called Canonn Research, and we do area searches fairly often. Would love to see you try to find something there 😃

    At 7:36 it actually says more than one year to get there, and since he’s not in supercruise and “only” going 138 m/s, assuming I did my math correctly, he would actually have to leave his computer on for roughly 17,392,131 years in order to get there in game. Mind blowing how big this game is.

    Loved the video! Got a question for you Habie: How do you feel about warping through Hyperspace (or otherwise called Witchspace)? Does it make you anxious? I know I'm always anxious flying through witchspace in VR because based on the Elite lore, we have no idea what's in that hyperspace. We only know it's a higher dimension we can temporarily pass to cross vast distances but other than that yeah no idea. Thargoids started pulling players out of Witchspace some time ago, that was definitely fun knowing. Also did you ever hear the whispers or wondered what those clouds were?
    Anyway, hope you have save travels my friend! Would love another video of Elite!

    Nice random video I came across while looking at tactics to yeet out of Thargoid range when interdicted for current evac missions. In case nobody else has answered. People have tried in the past to travel to star systems using supercruise. Someone did it with a system that was a lightyear away at full throttle, still took then a couple of days.Nothing popped up, the ship computer was still locked on other system. It confirmed what everyone thought, that the FSD Hyperjumps are a loading screen for the system (Makes sense, especially if you're jumping into a newly discovered system for the first time and it needs to procedurally generate stellar bodies.).
    Great video though, always envious of those playing in VR.

    fun fact: Our solar system, containing a single star (a G class, main sequence star that has a 10 billion year lifespan) and planets orbiting it is actually an anomaly. Earth is also a fantastic anomaly, we are within a zone called the "habitable zone"- which is the area around a star (determined by its mass and temperature) that liquid water can exist. anyway, binary star systems are actually way more common in space and star clusters of course exist throughout space on abundance. this is super amazing you took the time to explore this star, very interesting video!

    The "wow signal" is by far the most amazing thing to happen in space related history that I could think of. The fact that we not only missed part of it (supposedly), but also still don't know its actual source is insane! You'd think we as a species would pour more effort into such an incredible event, yet we haven't :(.
    I hope we find out the answer to this mystery before I die, or at least get a solid theory like the asteroid wiping out the dinosaurs (which I think was only proven (sorta) in the past 10 years or so).

I have 2 Corvettes, 4 Anacondas, and a Fleet Carrier.
