I got the stellar version because ship kit plus standard costs basically the same, and I had to have those sweeping forward wings. It’s a good ship. I’m at 82 LY with 4D Enhanced Low Power shields, 2A OC Power Plant, 5D drag drives, and 3D engine Distributor. Cruises at 430 boosts to 537 and runs VERY cool.
Yeah, I guess internal slots will have a lots of extra fuel tanks on my build, eventhough I have a FC and those extra tanks will cut jump range. Need to reach those distant planets.
So after the CobraV that will be 4 Medium ships in a row - and we already had way more choice in the medium sector. Id love to see more small and large ships coming through.
True, but problem is medium ships are both the main portion of the grind and PvP experience. Makes sense to fill out this segment first whilst having a nice quad selection of big ships to work towards
I just got elite yesterday. I am enamored with the idea of exploring the galaxy. I'm going to spend my whole day off figuring it out. I've decided to start the game owning the Mandalay. I will learn the basics in whatever ship the game gives me, but I want to be able to get to the 'third star on the left' as quickly as possible.
Sirius being salty that for centuries they sat on their monopoly with little to no innovation and now a competitor came along with significant improvements that set a new standard? I’m sure I’ve seen something similar IRL… hmmmm… BlackBerry, anyone?
*Decades at most. The Frame Shift Drive was a major breakthrough made not too long before E:D's story started. Sirius Corp made bank off of supercruise, and now they're salty someone did supercruise better. (And also hyperspace. Still a weird game design choice, that.)
In fairness to Sirius, it isn't like a shadowy cabal was manipulating the whole of human society behind the scenes, with a particular focus on frame shift drive capabilities and availability. The Club gave Sirius their monopoly, and now that they're APPARENTLY defanged, Sirius needs to learn to compete on a level playing field for the first time.
I am very happy. I appreciate the innovation in the Cockpit, especially the glass view. Please note that businesses should make money to innovate. The price is more than reasonable. Now it is time to enjoy it.
Just purchased the Mandalay Stellar! Fully functional stairs to the airlock! This is amazing as I'm smelling something good is coming up in the future (Cough!!! Ship Interiors!!!!)
I love my Mandalay. I'm currently about 20000 LY away from the bubble towards the east and just found my first Earth planet for this expedition. The way that the Mandalay does exploration if properly fitted out and engineered can't be overstated. My new favorite ship. Her name is Gone Fishin.....
Congratulations to President Winters, and by extension to the Federation for taking a huge step in the right direction toward living up to the ideals that we in the Alliance enjoy every day. Also, only somewhat grudgingly, congratulations to Councilor Kaine on her ascension to Power status. I've certainly had disagreements with her policy ideas in the past, but I also have some disagreements with Prime Minister Mahon's policy ideas in the present. I still support Mahon for now, but my family has lived in the Old Worlds for many generations, and if Kaine can get that eyesore Chariot of Rhea out of my home system then I may have to switch banners.
@@CptJistuce But a good dream. Finally the Size 4 Multicannon doesn't look like something aboard an Iowa-class battleship anymore and cargo volume makes finally sense.
This is the 2nd time now buying my ARX through steam that they don't come through. I have to wait until support reports back, tells me it's 'working' for me to convince them to push me a credit. It's getting kind of annoying. I should have just bought it straight from the store instead
Noob here, I have had elite for YEARS but jump in play of a bit then leave. I broke down and bought the Mandalay Stellar, support FDEV but now I am a few hundred Ly out and there is nothing around lol... There has other be stations out here somewhere.
If the word NEWS ment North, East, West, and, South, what would it be in space? How the hell do you know what's up? It's all up to me, my friend it's down. I've gone cross-eyed again!
@@jamarcus_OG We also need a Chinese Computer Voice for this feeling from the Movie Gravity as the astronaut pushes random buttons, the station around her burning from the atmospheric reentry desperately trying to undock 😂
I find it unfair that SCO drives have all the advantages : overdrive AND higher jump range. Also, it means my old engineered normal drive can be thrown to the bin.
And OMG the heat management feels on par with the Dolphin, as in I can sit close enough to a star for fuel scooping whilst charging myself FSD without hitting 70% temp. The quality of life!!! 😁
Hahahah thank you guys you are awesome as always !hope you are well and healthy!! well I chose Kevin Costner to join :D :D yeah Archer is Kevin Costner :D
This Suckers $20 which is more than I payed for ED and Odyssey Combined! and The Powers help you if you get blown up without a Rebuy insurance... There goes another $30
Bought the Stellar because heho its my money. Getting into supercruise with it and it's just so damn nimble normally I might have slammed into a planets OC drop a bit too fast when I was orbiting it bleeding speed! So used to ships being slugish in SC, even Imperial Couriers or Eagles feel slower in turning, nevermind the yaw rate. With a bit of time I plan on outfitting a new hull for AX with quad shard cannons and a gauss cannon even. Maybe make the Glaives and Scythes nimbleness look like an Orca trying to fit through an asteroid field if I do it right.
Thanks Galnet for that great North, East, West, and, South! Maybe some day when we walk up that ramp and knock someone wil open the airlock and we can go right in as long as nothing is going to chase me. The pods are CREAPEY! I hope if I pay earthly freedom bucks....someday? Oh oo that is my favorite engineer! I gave her some... ah, push ssshhhhh! Anyway I guess I am f..ked. Great news great news.

That doesn't mean anything. That just means you can walk up the stairs. We're probably never going to see ship interiors. We don't really need them either. We've got star citizen for that. We don't need every game to have everything.
It will be still much better if there would be an exit ship animation on the stairs instead of the current popping out of existance somewhere on the ground.
I am surprised how bad this thing looks in-game. Just because the game is 5 years old doesn't mean new stuff also has to look like it was made 50 years ago.

Welcome to the galaxy. You will start in a Sidewinder. She's a fine little ship... well, maybe not THAT fine, they do literally give them away...
Feels good to see that updates get new players into the game as well as old ones. Fly safe, commander o7
o7, so how is your exploration wish going?
I want to buy one but the DBX remains the only ship I haven't destroyed by accidentally ramming a planet without shields.
1:42 I've already done this within five minutes of jumping in my new Mandalay, How was I supposed to know that moon was 4.8g?
I really just want the vivid and military paintjobs for it
I feel you. A number of years ago, I did the same thing with one of my ships because I didn’t know about the heavy gravity.

brain mod please.

Where the fuck did the "special" feature run off to? Oh yea I remember its Fdev we are working with.
It's player-led system colonisation. It's coming soon.
I haven’t heard Galnet since 2014 and I thought they phased out along with Inara 🤣

yes they need real exploration play such as planet resource extraction for first discovered planet
