5 years later, this is still the best explanation of how to use the thrusters. Thank you!
2 years after you made this comment I found this video and my combat efficiency has changed drastically. This was an amazing explanation for someone who has very little experience with this kind of interface. I was getting frustrated to say the least as to why I couldn’t figure out how to hold my own.
Two years later... this was EXACTLY what I was looking for!
3 years later :)

I've been using standard flying (no FAOff) for the 1000 odd hours I have in game. I now have a hotas so feel I have more control over the ship. So 4 years on and this video was exactly what I needed.
And now its been 2 years since your comment!
And 8 years later. Only starting combat eight months in and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Wow!
Every elite video is always says, "just use your vertical thrusters," and I'm like, "how?" and then they don't explain it.
Finally I've found a video that doesn't overlook this.
+Locutus Borg Glad it could help you out! thanks for the feedback
+Vindicator Jones I know I already praised you, but I just had to come back.
I tried out CQC today, I applied what you showed in this video, and I was *wrecking house.* I placed first four times in a row in team deathmatch using nothing but the default imperial fighter (OP?)
I outstripped people ranked three times higher than me -- it was insane. (I was also applying some FAO techniques I picked up and general Elite know-how, but it was still impressive.)
I use a keyboard right now, so using all of the different thrusters at once is very hard. The pro and retrothrusters don't even have bindings at all, but just using the vertical thrusters to keep my enemy in place during a turningmatch and controlling my boost distance has been invaluable. It's like the one bit of knowledge I was always lacking.
5 years on, am a rusty commander back from a long hiatus, this was a very useful refresher. Thanks! o7
You're combat manoeuvring videos are hands down the best. Frontier need to use your videos for the games tutorials.
that would be neat. I went through the tutorials but I still had some questions. Subbed though, thanks again. my first manual docking sequence had me cartwheeling up the wall of the station trying to quickly find my landing pad before getting shot down.
defently the best combat tutorial i've found. impressive!
+Kalihman “ThEitan” Eitan Thanks, glad you liked it :)
Vindicator Jones just make more tutorials like these!
im having so much problems with these game, and im sure that its hust a lack of knowledge. this tutorial really helped!
Kalihman Eitan I feel ya
The animations at 1:00 to explane the deferents steps and behaviours for an attack are realy good and effective . Thank you
I've been playing this game for 5 years and never bothered to improve until today. Definitely a worth while watch
5 years into the future and this guide is still useful
never watched this kind of video but i found this all by myself awesome !!!
5 years later and both episodes helped! Thanks a lot mate!
7 years later, "this is still the best explanation of how to use the thrusters. Thank you!" ... "this was EXACTLY what I was looking for!" ... "Finally I've found a video that doesn't overlook this."
I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I was dogfighting like I’m flying a ww2 plane lol. Amazing video I know what I’m doing wrong now thanks!
Glad it could help!
Yeah i have been doing the same thing, had to defend my hauler ship earlier and lost thanks to the god awful handling
This video is perfect. It is what youtube was 5 years ago: direct to the point and short with only useful information.
Four years later and this is exactly what I was looking for!!!!! Who would've thought "boost can be diverted into your lateral and up and down thrusters!!!
Can't believe I didn't realise that boost affected all thrusters - I thought it was just forward thrust.
This video was a real help - thank you.
I knew all of this stuff previously but seeing it all bundled together in a presentable format really reminded me
4 years later and this is exactly the basic I need for SC! Thanks!
I can't tell you how helpful I'm finding your videos to be. I'm a newcomer to Elite: Dangerous (playing about 6 weeks), and my main ship is the Asp Explorer, which I use primarily for cargo missions. It's been depressing some times to be interdicted with full cargoes (I play Solo mode) and then loosing everything with an 850,000 credit insurance payment! The first video of yours that I watched was the one about surviving interdictions, and it has already been a great help, as each subsequent video of yours that I've watched. Thank you, and Subscribed!!!
I finally undertand. Thank you so much. I was starting to not have fun with competent and expert enemies
You have, by far, the best combat training videos I have found. I lost my right eye several years ago and playing these types of games is definitely harder now than it used to be. Thanks for the help. I wish all the tutorial videos I've watched were as "to the point", succinct, and helpful as yours.
Thanks for making these videos! with the new influx of PS4 players these are much appreciated
thank god i found this, ive been playing it like ace combat because i only know aircraft maneuvers and that obviously isnt the best way to play a game with no gravity therefore no stalling
Still haven't left the hanger yet. Watching tutorials to get an idea of how to set up my controls and get an idea of what to practice. I'm so glad I found this tutorial! By far the best I've found so far, and I've watched a lot. Well done VJ and THANK YOU. Earned a very thankful sub.
This is older. But this explains things so much better. Maybe I'll eventually use my corvette for combat instead of a heavy trader.
was trying to find tips and tricks to try and maintain battle control without risking my ship, those exercises are game-changing thank you so much
Thanks....another great video. Will definitely have to give your training idea a go with the asteroids.
Excellent video. As a FDL-pilot myself I will be keeping a very close eye on this series.
This is exactly what I was looking for, with easy and accurate detail that what to do and what will happen when you do it by overall as picture. Good job.
This is exactly what I was looking for! A good short video that would just get to the point quickly and not waste my time, unlike other videos where the rambling doesn't stop.
Before watching this video I was getting my az handed by NPCs. Would die very quickly without a fighter bay at hand,but now it's the other way round. Combat before has never been so much fun as it is now for me. Thanks!
Finally something that explains how to strafe around a target! I have sort of vaguely half-learned this by trial and error but cannot refine it. This actually makes sense of it. Thank you.
try to use the high g turn technique : forward + boost + dorsal trust ;)
Haven't finished or read comments, yet. Just wanted to stop and immediately say THANK YOU!!!!! So many videos go over the WHAT but ignore the HOW. This is the video I have been searching for!
Glad it helped! Thanks for enjoying the vids :)
I'm truly proud of myself how naturally all this came to me picking up elite. Not a brag, although it sounds like that, but this all made sense and was employed day 2
Your diagrams with the explanations were awesome! This video was the impetus I needed to stop using yaw entirely. (or atleast put yaw in xbox alternate controls)
That fact about the boost system is amazing.
So glad I found this. As a total Nube to Elite I needed this. Like many, the ASP Explorer has been my ship of choice for the credits. I thought I'd get brave and try a shot at combat. I'd done the training exercises but still had so many questions. Especially after taking on so called "Harmless" targets. Let's just say we didn't last very long. LOL
These are great practice ideas and just what I've been needing. Thanks for taking the time and just know that it is Really appreciated.
I’m new to Elite and got my ass handed to me by some pirates. I could not figure out how to maneuver behind them. Thanks for this.
Oh my, thank you for the guide ! I was struggling really hard in dogfight, I'm sure this will help !
Absolutely love the ship diagrams you incorporate to help visualize the movement and thrusters you refer to.
This video helped me so much!
All I was doing before was pulling up until I had the target in sights, didnt even think about this strategy...
Thank you very much!! Also besides, you deliver very high quality content
+Hatty Hattington Glad it could help you out and you enjoyed the video. Thanks!
+Vindicator Jones
What program did you use to make that animation part from 1:00 ?
Also I have another question: Im in a Vulture and Im now pretty familar with using thrusters but I keep having problems with ships like the Imperial Courier when they do exactly the same (Its rare that an NPC does this, but it happens from time to time)
I sometimes try to accelerate and fly in a straight line under them and the pull to the target again to somehow outmaneuver them but they just turn around on sopt and blast again.
Is it just that those ships are superior to a vulture? Maybe I just need more practice ..
(Oh and dont get me wrong I get the kill but they're the only enemy that usually downs my shields and afflict damage to the hull)
+Hatty Hattington I basically use Adobe AfterEffects for everything. Sometimes I will use Sony Vegas if its just some simple editing.
The Vulture is probably the most Maneuverable ship in the game, but you will still have some NPC's that can perform their own maneuvers quite well. Couriers, and especially clippers can sometimes seem like they can turn fast on the spot. But what they are actually doing is going in reverse and turning to face you. Not much you can do in this situation, other than break attack put full pips to shields and focus on getting back behind them. Remember, PIP management is extremely important. To see how important it is, especially when being fired upon, watch my other video 3 Pythons and a Corvette, and you can see how putting pips into shields can make them super strong.
A-maaaazing. Thanks for keeping your videos to the point. No 'yawn' factor, nice.
I'm aware this is now quite an old vid, but it was very helpful and well put together, so thanks. I have subbed, keep up the good work :)
Been looking for "thruster" type videos for an hour, found this one again. Turns out I've had you on subscribe for a year or two, but been away and forgot what it was you do, doh! Now I'm relearning ED, I am again finding this to be the best video on describing thruster control, helped massively by the graphic you made demonstrating it. Cheers (again!) .
Best elite combat piloting tutorial ever. Kudos, cmdr.
Been playing Elite forn5 years and am just now learning thus! Smh.SMH. Thank you Commander.
First ship I came across after watching this was a federal corvette. Pants were shit. I only went and beat him! Nice one VJ
There will be more coming. Just trying to find the time :)
Hey there, I know you published this awhile ago, but thank you for these excellent tips and practice techniques! I just started ED with my VR headset and your tips are excellent, I'll be practicing and hopefully get better, because right now, dogfights are quite stressful for me.
Vindicator Jones Have any time to post the third video? :P
There you go: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_(Band)
NOW GIVE US THE VID :D
Late comment but still, thank you so much. I just recently picked this game up and while I love the combat, I’ve been struggling to maintain a good position in fights, this helped me tremendously.
Awesome video, thank you! As soon as you started talking about thrusters, I almost slapped my forehead while saying DUH! Completely forgot about them, lol.
Glad you liked it!
I had no idea booster directs more to your thrusters than main engine...this is amazing tip
Thank you for making this video! Using the combat tactics you showed made all the difference for me. :)
Many many, many thanks!! I was just able to destroy en Elite Phyton with my Vulture in a HazRes today thank you for your advices! I was getting wrecked before. I haven't played since 1.6 so the change of AI really made me lose a lot of credits!
THANKS! ;)
Awesome series Jones! I am a returning elite player and needed this to refresh my memory in combat tactics.
I immediately became a combat pilot! Thank you!
This is a perfect discription, thank you!
came here from the obsidian ant channel, very good tutorials here
Great video, very helpful, thanks.
Seven years later...thank you. I always wondered how the PvE ships made these ridiculous bootlegger turns. Now I think I understand.
Insane movement. Here is me flying in circles trying to find the sidewinder that's destroying my ship...
Awesome videos man. their overall presentation, audio and video qualities make a great overall production value. I especially enjoyed your depection of your manoevers in the 3d clip as it made it very easy to understand your instructions. Liked and subscribed and looking forward to future videos
I know thisbis old but i am new to ED these are helpful thanks VJ
Great vids mate. Greetings from Tassie.
Great tips Jone & Great Video! Keep em coming.
Thanks for the ED videos. Keep them coming plz!
I'd really like to see a demonstration of how to regain a good position after an enemy ship was able to get around me after boosting behind
Perfect video! Just got into Elite Dangerous and this was exactly what I needed.
I consider myself a good pilot in games. A lot of hours in various games flying, it's my main preference, and even after all 2000+ hours of flight time I have in probably 8 different games, I never considered using my up and down in this manner. You've got yourself a subscriber, CMDR
This is a great game, I really hope more people realize what they have and what they can do in this realm.. It's really outstanding, and also devs don't give up and improve relation and community as it's quite toxic the people that are unfortunately allowed in it.
Thanks for this video. The exercises look helpful and much needed on the back of the previous video.
Just watched both your videos. Great insight, presentation and clear audio. Liked, subbed. Please keep giving out more insider info. Thanks.
Great explanation and nice production quality. I know that takes a lot of time to put out such quality. Looking forward to part 3! Subscribed.
Great series V Jones! As a new FDL pilot (Finally have my dream ship!) I look forward to your upcoming videos!
fantastic - thanks for making this!
Thank god for you, man.
Here in 2021. Great guide. You could also just practice this while deep core mining, so your practice sessions make you rich
Amazing editing, I've been playing for over a year and didn't know about that boost trick!
+Working Joe Thanks mate, glad it could help you out.. now keep moving.. dont stop.... sorry, but I played Alien Isolation too much, and now I have an inane distrust of Working Joe's... yes thats a crowbar in my hand.. keep walking.... ;)
+Vindicator Jones I have logged this for Apollo.
Some great ideas about thruster control. Thanks!
6 years later... Still exactly what I was looking for
back 2 weeks later for another watch on this. Learned more, totally different game for me now. Thanks for the video
Glad it could help! Cheers :)
2:24 I (ab)use the Feds in secure systems, right around the starports' entries to practise manoeuvring as occasion arises. Or for beginners any ship or concoy you meet out there e.g. in a USS. Use the opportunity to travel along with them for a while and feint attack them, no weapons out, just try to aim from all possible angles. They won't run and won't fly evasive manoeuvres as long as you don't get too close to them. So they're pretty steadily moving 'targets'. Until they have a beef with the unnerving you and decide to jump.
Next step could be the security forces near a port then, which are very agile and manoeuvre and boost around a lot due to their patrol jobs. They scan you once in a while and then rapidly get back on their patrol. Try to keep track on one or another, you can lock them, and practise to aim and to manoeuvre with them. Just don't extend your weapons accidentally or ram the station, or you'll get fined. It's fun and good training.
Edit: Oh, and of course, do not touch them either. Or else. ;)
Excellent in every way
These are really useful man. keep it up.
I would appreciate a video on hardpoints choice based on combat skill level and budget.
very cool tips, I was looking for a video that teaches the maneuvers and this video is fantastic
Thanks for the video.
Good stuff. Got my Cobra beefed to the max but been struggling with getting myself into good positions against larger ships, so I'll definitely give this a try.
+Agent Lemmings Also have a look at my small ships, big game video. It might help you out a little too.
Will do, cheers. Saving for a Vulture at the minute so definitely gonna need tips on using its agility as best I can once I get it!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you!! Awesome Vids!
Hi, Nice tips. Thanks.
Thank you very much for videos like this!!!
Where's the next video m8? I've watched this one countless times and already I've managed to kill half the turning battles I'm usually stuck in. I need MOAR!
Nice instructionals btw.
Love the videos, especially the tips on how to practice. Would love to see a video on interdicting in 1.4
Great work on these videos. Liked, Subscribed, and I will be sharing with my gaming clan.
The best tutorial that i have found. Thx man, big help
Very useful tutorial. Tx for the effort!
The animation showing how and why to thrust one way or the other was extremely helpful, thank you!
ty mate , really appreciated for the tips!
Awesome mate
This is awesome! I'm been searching so long for this kind of video. Thanks for the great suggestions! Have you or can you do a video for taking on multiple opponents?
