Its been asked for so finally here it is! An updated ship scale video. This time it includes the guardian fighters and the new main ships like the kraits and mamba etc.
That's the one thing that kept me from playing such a cool looking game for more than a few hours is I didn't like being stuck in my seat. I'm already doing that in real life, I don't want to do in-game to haha
@@ImNeurons i can understand that but elite would rather you focus on being immersed and experiencing space travel as more of a what could be interpreted as realistic approach, heavily centered around spending more time flying the ship and admiring the universe passing by you on your way to point B from A instead of being a boots on the ground soldier or mercenary who blows up the sides of planets for a living, obviously space legs adds an entirely new, possibly mindblowing perspective but its nice to be satisfied with the current state of the game as well
@@daspas2111 yes, we understand that, but if the guy doesn't like the game because he can't walk in it you're not gonna change his mind. Its just not fun for him. I personally really enjoy the game, but that doesn't mean someone else is going to.
If you choose which side to help from your comms it'll turn off friendly fire for that engagement just so you know, and they'll begin to help fight your targets too
@@chrismanuel9768 if you do too much damage to an ally, the entire battlefield becomes hostile. you'd think that'd be impossible without actively trying to do it, but tell that to the asshole who flew in front of me while i let off a plasma accelerator barrage at someone else and my radar suddenly lit up red.
I bought an anaconda that was sand printed (?) about 2 years ago. If I could find decent models, I would cut ships from aluminum on my CNC router. The models I found on thingaverse are not very good quality, although I haven't been back there recently.
I only have one suggestion - do a perspective shot of walking between the ship at the height of a normal person! Would really give a sense of scale at just how big those ships are.
@@ray2266 I don't think I would have the patience to fill up a type 9 hold. I have 192 tons on my Python and that is 200+ million every trip in. But I am usually tired or ready to do something else by the time that is full. More power to you if you can just mine that long. You might want two Seismic Charge Launchers. Just for ammo capacity.
Hats off to the game devs for designing and creating a beautiful array of spaceships over the last 7 years. Already iconic to the Elite community, they deserve to be real mini scaled replicas for purchase if I didn't think the production outlay would cripple Frontier in the process. Life starts in a Sidewinder. Great video.
I would love it if they added Megastructures of sorts to the game. Like a community project to gather billions of material to build a Ring world or Dyson Sphere. That'd be phenomenal.
Just incredible!!! Usually, just after you do one of these incredible vids, Frontier put out another ship! But this time it looks like you're safe till late next year haha!!!
It would be nice if one of the new ships were based on a ship from original elite from 1984, that game had several ships that elite dangerous doesnt have
@@ray2266 Mate as much as I'd love to see that, we already have a lot of older ships reimagined for the modern day. The sidewinder, cobra, eagle, adder etc Some totally fresh and truly modern designs would be better. A ship with a cockpit off-centre, an asymmetrical ship, a literal cuboid as a hauler. Star Citizen has nice designs, even if they aren't aerodynamic. For being over 1200 years in the future maybe some futuristic designs would be nice
Seconded. Could really do with a cmdr next to each ship to see their scale. Seeing a cmdr and perhaps a few different ships next to the slot of the station would be cool too. Otherwise, great work as usual.
Beluga Pilot here - we're not all cruise ships! You'd be surprised at the Beluga's prowess for long-range exploration. I prefer it over the Conda for its view and outfitting versatility any day for a distance build!
Never fails to surprise me how quickly I forget the size and scale of something like a vulture or diamondback scout. I always imagine a fighter size to drop ship size craft.
@@cornernickel7525 It's not just the windows that are huge. I remember switching ships in VR and wondering why they'd make the dashboard so huge and far away.
Aside from some ships where you get a proper bridge or non combat ships where you benefit from a wide field of view, it doesn't make much sense to have so much glass
Or at least have a visable NPC crew dicking around the bridge for some of the larger ships. I feel like its so ridiculous corvettes can fly with one person.
Know what I'd like? Comparing these ships to real life ships, like how do they stack up vs modern destroyers, old battleships, carriers, cruise ships, cargo ships etc. I know there are quick glances but side-by-side would be great! That would give a good sense of scale, because in game the sense of scale is way messed up.
@@ColdieHU yes but i mean real life comparisons next to every ship. With the absolutely enormous canopies and cockpits in game we have no true sense of scale
Ive been saying this about the ship scale since i started playing, but everyone always attacks the notion that the ship designs dont really match their scales. The cockpits are WAY oversized for the scales they are presented as. Some of them are the equivalent of a couple chairs parked in an empty gymnasium with a giant greenhouse as a canopy. Its absurd. No engineer would design a command deck with so much wasted space. I feel strongly that Frontier designed these ships to be about 1/3 their current size originally....and scaled them up late in development. The Eagle Mk2, which seems like such a small ship to fly ingame, could easily accommodate a crew bigger than the space shuttle in its cockpit 🤨
@@razorfett147 The scale is very apparent in VR mode, I feel, but non-existent on a screen. The huge canopy at least grants fantastic visibility around the ship. :D
Anyone else think it's weird that ships by completely different companies all have snake names? Wouldn't it make more sense if only one company named their models after snakes, and other companies had different naming conventions?
In the original vector game made in 1984, the devs thought the ships looked like snake heads, so that's where their names come from. There's some bobble heads available for your ship interior that actually use the classic Elite's ship vector models.
The first time I realized how big anything was involved me landing my Anaconda and dropping the SRV. I drove about 50yds away and turned around and realized exactly how large it was. It's a shame the game has zero sense of scale while flying.
Each time I watch one of these I can't get over how little geometry is applied to the Asp X model and yet in game it's just as detailed as everything else. Especially weird since it's smaller cousin gets a much more complex model. Always a fan! These scale videos are now a community constant - no update cycle is complete without one.
I'm back again. Just letting you know the group pictures of all the ships with the calm music is lightweight the most triumphant feeling thing I've seen in a long time. I love it.
I remember this was the entire soundtrack music to the original 1980’s Elite. Docking my Cobra mk III to the sound of the Blue Danube. Those were the days! This game has come along way since the days of vector graphics. I had it on cassette and it took about 15 minutes to load and sometimes it would crash and you had to do it all over again. Try telling the kids today that and they won’t believe you or they complain about waiting for 30 seconds for something to load.
@@ComedicLetter I wont lie to you, the framerate at outposts is complete shit. I played on ultra in Horizons at +100 fps and now I play on low at 30 on outposts. As much as this bothers me, I must admit the overal graphics are improved an the rest of the game still performs good. Still, being able to walk anywhere and see space stations amd cities on foot is fucking cool. Also the menus and map are different. You have to decide for yourself. Search for gameplay here on YT
@@reaper5491 aight, thanks. I was running high quality so I should be fine. I was more thinking about the gameplay itself. I’ll check it out on YT, and I’ll keep it in the back of my. Thanks again
Unfortunately without proper legs in the game, the scale is just neither here nor there. We need a character to stand next to a ship or whatever else ED has to give true scale, a character we can move and interact with. Also able to go inside and walk around a ship, station etc. I just look at the station internals and think, toy'ish.. Which is a shame really. :(
@@nicholasross5265 I tried it in VR and I think it made it look worse in the stations. Out in space was good in VR, but the buildings, vehicles look very toy'ish.
Yes, absolutely, unfortunately the devs are extemely lazy. These features as well as atmospheric planet landings should be in the game a long time ago, but the devs did not care. Very disappointing! And I am a long time fan since release.
the anaconda, corvette, cutter, and especially the beluga are basically a little smaller than the size of small cruise ships. for example carnival cruise line's smallest ship is the carnival inspiration in the fantasy class lineage. it has a length of 260 meters a beam of 31.50m and, while exceedingly difficult/impossible to find the height of the ship it appears in images to be roughly the same height as it is wide. so the beluga is only 50 meters shorter but it's 15 meters taller and much wider, even when you don't consider the wings.
I"ve seen pics on the internet of an anaconda perched on the deck of an aircraft carrier, and it's shorter in length, but same size just about everywhere else. It's tough to get perspective on the ships size in game. A long time ago, A friend with a cobra parked on a planet, and I landed my anaconda next to it. We drove around in SRV's and my friend was really jealous. He tried to steal my conda, but was unsuccessful.
I used to play the original Elite game on my ZX Spectrum 48k many years ago! Took up a huge chunk of my time lol trading, battling and growing, the game was very engaging and immersive, even though it was in essence a very simple format, it had a certain complexity about it and felt like it was a huge universe to explore, even back then in 8 bit computing on a 48k memory machine, using very crude but effective wire frame graphics, running quite smoothly on a z80 cpu until the Thargoids arrived with those little drone like attack ships, then it would lag and struggle animating the attack lol👍😎😁⚠️
The Beluga is literally the size of a Carnival cruise liner, yet it carries only 3% as many passengers. Beluga, 184 max capacity. Carnival, 6,000-7,000. It's a ship as big as a Carnival cruise liner, but only carries as many as a Boeing 747.
Amazing. I just started playing 2 days ago (just 2 tutorials so far) and to be honest the game is a bit overwhelming with all the stuff that goes with it. The docking tutorial was hard enough. nice job on the video.
@@theutgardianchannel1952 if u don't land correctly your landing gear gets destroyed plus your ship, here you have shields and your ship is by far more resistant
Really excellent work, as ever. 👍 Ignore the rotten dislikes... Thargoid infiltrators probably... disgruntled to see the extensive range of Federation, Imperial and Alliance space technology arrayed against them (including the Top Secret, Yellow “Boomerang” weapon that appears at the beginning... or should I say, the “Top of the Line” exhibit... aka “The Top Banana?”) 🖖😎
There's always one thing that always bugs the hell out of me with elite. The big ass window that always gets shot out when shields drop especially with mid to large ships!
Everytime I watch this... I always just think how Frontier messed up the cockpit sizes... they feel so small but in this they look to be big something of a bridge on ships like Chieftain etc... for 5 bridge crew etc...
try it VR - i was shocked when realized that my cobra4 cockpit are bigger than my living space. and why the hell cockpit must be big?? it is unpractical and useless, besides it surrounded by armor, life support and other stuff, that take even more space.
Just started playing with the Epic Games giveaway... loving it! Just bought my Vulture and love how it feels. First ship I bought that actually feels maneuverable and combat capable by having tier 3 guns.
highjix Most of players stops at owning about 5 of them as a max number. Very often these are 3. At a beginning they try all small ships ;) But then they discover youtube and coriolis.io and make rare purchases with opened eyes.
I hauled my way to an Imperial Cutter, she’s now my bread and butter in slaughtering NPC pirates for a living. Started to collect ships in the game and currently own 22 ships, collected 21 different ships so far (one is a second Condy for regen beam laser)
I love it 😻! And then the epic ness of the music 🎶 🎼 🎵 of choice for the video ! Gone are the days when the main entertainment of humanity was this classical music piece. I think the golden era of humanities music.
I'd say the base would be on par with an orbis station if it were buried up to the mail slot but those really big structures are made of lots of sub structures which unless you know how they go together, are a nightmare to get close to right.
The standard, Drake-class Fleet Carrier is a staggering 3,200m long, which absolutely dwarfs a majestic class. That's nearly four of the burj khalifa super skyscrapers laid end-to-end. (the variants of the FCs might be even longer!).
When it started to zoom out after the farragut battle cruiser i was wondering what is more massive then it showed the station and i was like, ye that makes sense.
For the longest time I’ve always felt there was something off about the scale of things in Elite, especially spaceports. Now seeing that my Anaconda is in the size-scale as the ISS but still fits into inside a spaceport (never mind the mail slot) really hammers that home.

Love these videos. Always forget just how huge the Beluga is, until I try and enter the mailslot of course!
I just can’t get the hang of the Anaconda vs mailslot... so got the new Advanced Docking Computer.
I used to play the original Elite game on my ZX Spectrum 48k many years ago! Took up a huge chunk of my time lol trading, battling and growing, the game was very engaging and immersive, even though it was in essence a very simple format, it had a certain complexity about it and felt like it was a huge universe to explore, even back then in 8 bit computing on a 48k memory machine, using very crude but effective wire frame graphics, running quite smoothly on a z80 cpu until the Thargoids arrived with those little drone like attack ships, then it would lag and struggle animating the attack lol👍😎😁⚠️
yeah good memories... I had my "deadly" status which I long couldnt translate due to lack of language ;), until I bought good dictionary :)))
The Beluga is literally the size of a Carnival cruise liner, yet it carries only 3% as many passengers. Beluga, 184 max capacity. Carnival, 6,000-7,000. It's a ship as big as a Carnival cruise liner, but only carries as many as a Boeing 747.
Thank you man, been waiting for this for a while :)
Great job!
The music makes this video 1000x better
That music was in the original Elite from the mid eighties....brilliant.
And in the auto docking sequence
And now we can all see the size of these amazing ships from the ground. This game has come so far.
I come here when I plan to buy a new ship. Much better than the in game images.
I love this song.
Half the reason i come back to these videos.
Never change.
Amazing. I just started playing 2 days ago (just 2 tutorials so far) and to be honest the game is a bit overwhelming with all the stuff that goes with it. The docking tutorial was hard enough. nice job on the video.
Once you start playing you'll omit several parts of the landing tutorial but still able to land it without completely destroying your ship.
The fact that the learning curve is pretty non existing, makes it very overwhelming at the start.
do some flight sim and docking will be as easy as just flying in a straight line
@@theutgardianchannel1952 if u don't land correctly your landing gear gets destroyed plus your ship, here you have shields and your ship is by far more resistant
Meh, got bored of the docking. Just buy a docking computer. Only have to bother with landing on planet surfaces then.
The detailing on that Tesco banana was absolutely mind blowing. I would cross the void with it anyday
Kinda sad that the Coriolis wasn't included.
Makes you realize how cool it is to take down a bigger ship in something like an Eagle.
Verdict: we’re going to need more bananas.
I love how you specified the banana was from Tesco :D
"yeah my cobra III is pretty big"
"Oh wait nevermind"
I see it as a space b2
Really excellent work, as ever. 👍 Ignore the rotten dislikes... Thargoid infiltrators probably... disgruntled to see the extensive range of Federation, Imperial and Alliance space technology arrayed against them (including the Top Secret, Yellow “Boomerang” weapon that appears at the beginning... or should I say, the “Top of the Line” exhibit... aka “The Top Banana?”) 🖖😎
There's always one thing that always bugs the hell out of me with elite. The big ass window that always gets shot out when shields drop especially with mid to large ships!
Only if you fight head on all the time.
You could buy module reinforcement or go heavier on shield tanking instead.
Proud owner of a Type 7 Transport. I've got it rigged for a ton of cargo and 4 passengers. Love it.
I used to be a pilot like you, until I got spacemadness. Hope the 2020 update can save me. #eliteburnout
How do you get burnout from a game that has zero content to burn out of? 😂
I played for 6 hours a day minimum for about 7 months straight and got an Anaconda, so I definitely feel burned out
@@drifterax7731 ouch 6months to get a conda? Have you tried mining?
@@drifterax7731 In 3 days, 5-6hrs of mining a day, I could already buy one
This movie has such an ending... I’m crying.
Everytime I watch this... I always just think how Frontier messed up the cockpit sizes... they feel so small but in this they look to be big something of a bridge on ships like Chieftain etc... for 5 bridge crew etc...
🙂🙂😍😎👢💄⛑️😄⛑️⛑️💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎🎓💎🧢
Except they are massive in FPS Lol but u have a point
try it VR - i was shocked when realized that my cobra4 cockpit are bigger than my living space. and why the hell cockpit must be big?? it is unpractical and useless, besides it surrounded by armor, life support and other stuff, that take even more space.
Surprisingly better than expected.
Great work as always, I love these videos.
imma be deadass with you chief these ships look like something i'd build once i got to space stage in Spore
Love these! ....nice one Mat o7
Just started playing with the Epic Games giveaway... loving it! Just bought my Vulture and love how it feels. First ship I bought that actually feels maneuverable and combat capable by having tier 3 guns.
Just wait until you have an anaconda, it has 1 t4 slot
I recently started playing this game, I was surprised that so many ships where in the game, I haven't seen even a 10th of those ships yet
highjix Most of players stops at owning about 5 of them as a max number. Very often these are 3. At a beginning they try all small ships ;) But then they discover youtube and coriolis.io and make rare purchases with opened eyes.
or do core minning and go cobra, type 6, python and anaconda in less than a week like I did haha
I hauled my way to an Imperial Cutter, she’s now my bread and butter in slaughtering NPC pirates for a living. Started to collect ships in the game and currently own 22 ships, collected 21 different ships so far (one is a second Condy for regen beam laser)
I love it 😻! And then the epic ness of the music 🎶 🎼 🎵 of choice for the video ! Gone are the days when the main entertainment of humanity was this classical music piece. I think the golden era of humanities music.
Just awesome always - One suggestion, how does a Thargoid base compare? :)
I'd say the base would be on par with an orbis station if it were buried up to the mail slot but those really big structures are made of lots of sub structures which unless you know how they go together, are a nightmare to get close to right.
I'd like to see that as well
Good point
And now we have Titans... roughly the size of Manhattan
Federal Corvette! Absolutely stunning.
"Tesco" banana? Are other shop-bought bananas really any different or is that a cheeky sponsor? ;)
It's been a long running thing as far as I've known. Hahah
Sure, I just needed a logo and manufacturer name for the stats panel. Other banana vendors are available. :)
@@preferredimage thought as much ;)
Mat Recardo
Try a Chiquita; that's classic.
@@preferredimage do we know the species of banana?
The standard, Drake-class Fleet Carrier is a staggering 3,200m long, which absolutely dwarfs a majestic class. That's nearly four of the burj khalifa super skyscrapers laid end-to-end. (the variants of the FCs might be even longer!).
Awesome vid man. Really nice.
i didn't know the type-8 was that big thanks!
Love these videos. great work.
Perfect! And that Sandro's space loach shown at the end of the video pleased me much. Thanks for all the work put into it!
Amazing job!! Thank you for making these!! o7
This was brilliant, thanks! I can't wait for Odyssey and the ability to trek around our ship on foot!
I can't wait for the December update.
When it started to zoom out after the farragut battle cruiser i was wondering what is more massive then it showed the station and i was like, ye that makes sense.
Me to MK4 Cobra/Viper: What do you bring to the table other than a price?
MK4 Cobra/Viper: I’m a chunky Boi.
For the longest time I’ve always felt there was something off about the scale of things in Elite, especially spaceports. Now seeing that my Anaconda is in the size-scale as the ISS but still fits into inside a spaceport (never mind the mail slot) really hammers that home.
My goal is now the anaconda. That is one hell of a starship.
Gotta mine those ltd
Fdev : So, what's your favorite ship ?
Me : BANANA !
Fdev : eeeeh ?
We need the Fleet Carriers!
its hard to forget just how huge those ships are compared to people
