I recalled my ship once and then went afk to get a coffee. The ship landed on me and killed me. :-)
Ouch lol
Yeah I heard also stories about your ship destroying itself after trying to land. I haven't had that happen to me yet, my ships always landed reliably but imagine how heartbroken you'd get if you lose Billions of Credits in Exploration data because the Auto Pilot fucked up 💀
Can't even be pprevented because manual landing isn't possible without being inside your ship, and it's forced to leave if you get like 2km away from it.
"Now I just slam down onto the surface like a pro" said like a true pilot
Advanced Lithobreaking Maneuver 😂
1:20 as a commander in the AXI and XSF, seeing you attempt to take on a Medusa as your FIRST THARGOID is a terrifying thought
You can boost ....if you're falling too fast, you can boost in perpendicular / opposite direction if you're fast enough. So you will gain some altitude. On high-G planets this can be your only saver on error.
Did not know that. Thanks for the tip o7
You got to watch that descent rate to know for sure lol
Early in my exobiology treks, I didn't pay attention to the energy levels of my scarab. I (mistakenly) thought it'd just stop, only for the scarab to run out of juice a few meters from my ship. This is when I learned that a) scarabs go "boom!" when they run out of juice, and b) when you die in the scarab, you lose all of your scanned data.
Needless to say, I have not made that mistake again.
I have the opposite problem most of the time I thoroughly research everything I can before attempting a new venture in Elite. It has saved me a great deal of painful lessons. Ground combat is the one area I thought I could just wing it on and I died over and over again. I must have died at least 20 times before I decided maybe I should watch a few guides on how to do it well. LOL I am extremely grateful to every streamer who is willing to share their experience in this game I love! I have often considered starting a series of my own and always get bogged down in the details of production that I get no enjoyment out of at all. I love your approach to playing Elite and endeavor to watch every video you produce. Thanks for all of the hard work you put in to share with the rest of us!
Thank you. And go ahead and start your channel. Elite has a wonderful community. They will support you even if you upload raw footage
my whole experience is making stupid mistakes
You are moving faster than you think. Always remember this.
On distant worlds 2 expedition I took a Mk2 Krait as I wanted to have the use of a fighter at the meet ups to hoon about in for giggles. Anyway we had past Explorers Anchorage by about 10k ly or so when late one night I decided to go canyon running believing I was in my fighter, I had consumed a quantity of Ales that night, but yep you guessed it I was actually still in my Krait and plowed into a mountain. I lost all my exploration data and respawned back at Explorer's Anchorage. I never did manage to catch up with everyone and got back to the bubble about 2 months after my friends and most of the other participants. Don't drink and fly Cmdrs 😂
😩
Ouch. That hurts.
When the radar is telling me I can land, but the ship won't actually land, or it suddenly changes to "unsuitable" when I'm 1 or 2 metres from the ground, that's when I use auto-landing. With some insults hurled at the flight computer regarding its ability to judge terrain suitability. Gone on a long trip without a fuel scoop; check. Not used system filters when plotting a route: check. Blew up the ship: check, check, check, check umm, maybe 4 or 5 more checks. No credits for insurance: check. Forgot the limpets: check. Decided to use self-destruct for a quick trip back to the starport (and lost all my survey data as a result); check!
Learning about these things is all part of the fun though.
Very true
I prepared for literally months before my first Thargoid Interceptor battle, tweaking my ship design, reading volumes of AX combat doctrine, and watching countless videos.
I barely survived the encounter, and I think i only took out one heart. Honestly, even after several dozen solo Interceptor kills, I'm still a mediocre AX pilot at best, and have never successfully soloed anything stronger than a Basilisk (and that was in atmosphere so it doesn't really count). But most importantly, I've had a FANTASTIC time doing it, and even more when doing it in a wing!
I've never ran out of fuel, flew without enough for a rebuy, and I've never intentionally engaged with Thargoids The rest I've done numerous times.
The worst case was on my way back from DSSA King's Pass with my Anaconda. That trip was to accomplish two goals: Test the ship, and collect enough data to fund my first carrier. Halfway back, I accidentally hit boost instead of gear while approaching a surface at 70 degrees nose down and 2K altitude. I didn't lose the ship, but it was close. Good thing I had repair limpets, and two AFMU's. It took a few rounds of repairing and then rebooting the ship to get everything to a comfortable level. I also changed the button I use for landing gear.
*"I've never ran out of fuel, flew without enough for a rebuy, and I've never intentionally engaged with Thargoids The rest I've done numerous times."*
Likewise...
It's like he's reading from the bible "at the beginning" 😂😅, ahhh the joys of Elite and struggling to love it at the start 😅
I always make the mistake of trying to kill anything bigger than a thargoid scout.
Yeah, we have all boosted into the floor. Now once I drop out of the glide, I deploy my landing gear as a habit so it makes boost impossible.
That's clever
Hopped back into Elite after a long break and found I'd left off in the middle of the road to colonia. Took a couple hours of jumping and scanning, but eventually I reached a spot where the star density was so high and there was a nice nebula so i just had to set down on a planet and take a look outside. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten to check the gravity of the planet I landed on. And boosted on my way down. And forgot that drag isn't actually a think and going belly first into atmo does not actually slow you down very well. Sent me to the rebuy w 20 mil of exploration down the drain (I really should stop scanning and just enjoy the view) and an unfortunate rebuy screen. Currently on the Aspen Explorer III, other 2 (there might have been more before i started keeping track) have exploded in really stupid mistakes.
That sucks. But it Happens to the best of us
My biggest mistake was underestimating high G worlds and the handling difference between my brand new Anaconda and my previous Vulture so I came in a little hot thinking I could pull up at the last second like I usually did and pancaked into the ground. Thankfully I had enough to rebuy because veteran players drilled "Never fly without rebuy" into me but I was nearly broke after that so had to go back to my Vulture until I could afford the rebuy to safely fly my Conda again.
LG, I've done nearly everything you've done... in around 1,000 hrs, except for the fuel loss... I should name my ship, the Icarus.
Ive been playing for 2 weeks now.
I had to selfdestruct 20m above a landing pad because i ran out of fuel.
Poor sidewinder.
Died once to several cops because i accidently hit 1 or 2 laser beams on them because of chaff
It's all part of the process. Keep at it you'll master the mechanics in no time
Yes 😄. Early game, used all credits to purchase T9 + fighter to protect me. Loaded it with gold and a few missions. Was interdicted by NPC pirate. Launched fighter - but unintentionally launched myself as the pilot. By the time i worked out what was happening, flew to engage enemy, only to see my ship explode in front of me, and the rebuy screen.
That's tragic but also pretty funny 😄
done most of them apart from flying without rebuy. Also im not getting into on foot combat .the other night i was doing an on foot combat zone. something just did not feel right instead of retreating and thinking about what i was doing i carried on and got my ass kicked.or i stand out in the open with out any cover and just shoot at the npcs it does not end well. this is why i love the game it has a way of bring you to task when you get over confident
Oh yeah I absolutely agree. No matter how many hours you have in the game there will always be things that surprises you
On my first long trip I took a T-10 to Colonia, the T-10 did fine, it was me that thought on the way back I should do all 1000 jumps in one sitting, I finally arrived at in the bubble, the first station I attempted to dock at I forgot to request docking, so when I got inside I panicked and accidentally boosted into the wall LOL All the exploration data I collected on over 1000 jumps gone🥴
Hey great to see another vid from you!
o7
That must've been frustrating. I would have rage quitted right there lol
@@lootandgrind I was just mad at myself, Ive gotten lucky many times also, where I should have died, but by some miracle I didnt lol
This reminds me when I was just starting, used one of the guides about how to get the Anaconda fast.
Bought it and first thing that happened to me was getting stuck in the mail slot, warnings starting to sound and by reflex did the goof old Alt + F4 and exit game... Turned out it saved me from station guns, when I got back to game was 10 kilometers away from the Station.
WAY back in the day I tried to boost through the slot on a station.....with a cargo hold full of rare goods.....had enough to cover ship insurance and eventually rebuy the goods but lost a LOT of time in hunting them down. Never did that again!
When I started, just after buying an eagle and making it optimized. I tried my first planet landing and blew it up by crashing it.
Stupid mistakes is something you have to do. It's one of the ways you learn how not to do them again. I have my fear shares of stupid mistakes. And some of them i have done more than once cos some specific once are far between. So then i go "whops". But crashing my ship or ran out of fuel i have done for many years, that was only when i started to play the game. For fuel its KGBFOAM. For gravity on planets it's usually "wow, that was a hard landing." The planet/moon gravity is usually something i look at when in glide if i don't forget.
Well said o7!
The game is such a brutal teacher 😆
Your honesty is commendable, after over a thousand hours of play I have never made any of the mentioned mistakes in Elite Dangerous. With that said I have made mistakes and lost a number of ships, when you have billions a re-buy is nothing.
I can think of a few bad mistakes though, I dropped out of super cruise by a neutron star in my Cobra Mark 3 days, the ship quickly cooked and went boom. I've also lost larger ships after too many drinks, I've assumed the auto pilot for docking the ship had taken over then quickly discovered it didn't 😆
Never ran out of fuel after over 1800 hours, was always very careful. Blown up my ship enough times to make up for that success. My rebuy cost paid total is atrocious.
Learning from your mistakes is good. Learning from other peoples mistakes is better :P
I've never run out of fuel. I've come close, but filtering routes to KGBFOAM has kept me good so far (over 8000 hours)
Not "Oh, be a fine Goid and kiss me"?
That's a smart move lol
@@Thorned_Rose that's the better way to remember them, they're in the correct order from most intense to least but still scoopable
Accepted an Odysee Settlement Massacre Mission yesterday. Was sent into a fucking Military Base racked with defense grids and rocket launchers. I still attempted to kill my targets regardless, and oh boy I've never seen my ship parked nearby evaporate that fast 💀
Goes without saying the rest of my pilot followed swiftly, these NPCs didn't fuck around for sure. Better check where a mission sends you unless you want to have nasty surprises.
Oh and I had the funny idea once when I was new to repair my Thrusters. Midair at 500m above the ground, and that I can tell you, I was never more awake on this day as my ship fell like a stone than on this particular day ☠
When I fist got Elite a few years ago I was playing for a few hours when it started getting late so I decided land on a station and log off for the night, so I looked for the nearest station and landed on what I thought was just a regular station but it actually turned out the be the Gnosis lol, I logged back in a few days later to find that I was now 5000ly away from the bubble, well I never made that mistake ever again. That was one hell of a journey back home in my bone stock viper it took forever lol what a nightmare.
😂😂
Biggest mistake I made was buying an anaconda and slamming it into a high g planet....twice and couldnt afford 2nd re buy.
Everyone gets spanked by the goids the first time...even if they prepared
made all of them. mind you ive just got into on foot combat and settlement raids had my butt kicked a few times but enjoy it. thought i could raid a military settlement the other day . my gut feeling was don't do it . but i did it anyway i did not last long lolol .ill stick with the smaller settlements for now. o7 chap great vid
"All checked - typical ED player" like myself XD O7
Gods bless the Fuel Rats. True samaritans.
Dumb people are resiliant to learning. Some people learn by doing mistakes. And smart people can see the problem and not do the mistake in the first place.
For example I never ran out of fuel, ever, or had too few credits for a rebuy.
Made the mistake of purchasing Oddy when it first came out…👍🏾
Ouch!
Great video o7!
Thanks o7
03:19 Thats Weird i dont have Proble´m with autolanding on Planets Newer
My first ever landing in Elite i failed., i had 10 minutes! 😂
It's rough to figure out the controls to land on a timer!
Early days ship didn't come with all the fancy AI we get these days..
Never had to call the Fuel Rats, KGB-FOAM!
Thanks for sharing something most people rather hide
🖖😎
The Grav one id the one check box I never did go boom on, and I went exploring almost as soon as the update hit where you could land on planets. I found a 5 g one after dozens of .2 grav planets. I hurt my Asp massively after buddy bumping a planet upon coming out of glide in 5g. Immediately limped home.
it take me a while to learn about the heat with the FSD, i feel bad cause didnt understand why was taking so much heat lol, also the gravity hahaha, just boost to the ground xD
Either VR in the whole game or no more money ever.
Yep, been there, got the T-shirt. Still it's how this game works, brilliantly.. o7
All these, but the fuel, though have had to reroute several times.. Also being too sure of driving skills on srv sends you back to ship quite quickly. But that 2,5km fall took forever.
I'm a high-G expert with 4 rebuys. Plus the downward boosts. Last one though happened while escaping a thargoid so I don't know if that counts.
I have made a few of them.... Auto landing ? must be a Oddacy thing.....
Thanks LG
Pretty much all of them.
I have been playing for a bit over two years now. I realize the importance of fuel usage from the very start (even without reading or seeing the importance anywhere), so I have so far never ran out of fuel.
In fact, I'm a Fuel Rat (with over 200 rescues). Of course that doesn't mean it will never happen. Even rats run out of fuel sometimes (even if they never admit it).
