In this video, I listed out 10 systems that you might find interesting to pick up, including systems with plenty of landable bodies, to others with valueable planets like ELW, WW or AW (we don't know what they do yet, but it's not a bad idea to have one of them in your systems. Some have wonderful landscape, and some are just nice to have.

This was during a big group trip that I made with the squadron Swords of Makhai (they are a big active and friendly squad with veterans and new players alike, you should check them out!), all the way to Colonia, then Beagle Point. Still very imrpessive to me how we managed to get a group photo at the other end of the galaxy!

A peaceful pirate

"I only take cargo, no lives" that's what I say to them freighters everytime I interdict/manifest scan one. The war has already taken too many lives, we don't need anymore dead. Don't get me wrong, pirates still thrive, and at this point, it's more like a lifestyle than anything else, but after all, I'm a pirate, not a terrorist.

A good pirate is a good pilot, and a good pilot knows how to outfit his ship, before heading out for a naughty day, I get to the hangar to make sure everything is in place, the exact modules I need, no more, no less.

We start with the intersting part first: guns. Meanwhile those Pacifier fragment cannons look intimidating, they will be retracted as soon as the victim's shield is down, it's when the pack-hounds do their job: they put the victim's drive to rest, leave them with no way to escape.

This is where the art of piracy comes in, while the victim is floating there, it's time for your limpets to work, cargo dropped, end of the job, no one has to die. Of course if you're the victim, consider calling the Hull Seals later, I said I wouldn't kill, didn't mean I have free taxi service.

Now let's get to the job.

Let's start with a small fish first.

And of course, before I can actually see a ship that potentially has cargo, I was greeted at first with someone of my very own profession:

As sad as it sounds, working on the same job wouldn't exactly mean we're friends. He didn't want me to compete with him in piracy in this site, neither did I, so a scan exchange became some lead exchange after a couple of seconds

I just casually followed my normal procedure, kill his drive, get his stuff, like any other cargo ship.

The pirate did actually have some cargo, but somehow my stupid limpets didn't get to collect them. The real fight sometimes is your limpets' duration and AI, not the ships.

So I just moved on.

Name is Pete Slaughter, but no one's getting slaughtered today. I approached him with my manifest scanner, he started running as soon as his ship detected my scan. No word, no negotiation, dude just started boosting away.

"Pew, pew, pew" and his shield was off, and sometimes, like this time, half his hull as well. You run some powerful weapons, gotta be easy on the trigger, they're just too powerful for these civillians.

Now it's time for the pack-hounds:

A couple of missiles later and his drive was Slaughtered.

Now it's the time:

As I left the guy floating away while he probably was contacting Fuel Seals (and maybe dumbfounded why I didn't destroy his rear), I went back to collect the cargo.

There should be more to pirate, but I was craving for a drink, a short break after these "stressful" encounters.

Just a bit of credits, but should be enough for a couple of drinks.

That's almost a day of a "Peaceful Pirate". Remember, no casualties involved if you do it right!

Fly Dangerously o7

This game is so goofy that any moment can be clipped, and it's more fun when with friends! Better (or worse) if your friends are goofing around!

I first realized the coincidence when I started playing Alien: Isolation, having watched the first and the second movie. I think the birds also have some meaning as they stated later in the comics or the books, but I'm just staying with the OG 6 movies for now :)

A little bit of this, a little bit of that, a bit of chaotic powerplay, pew pew and explosion (including my own ship!). This is my Elite Dangerous!

o7 CMDRs.

Colonisation has been out for a couple of weeks already, apologies as real life happened and I couldn't make the video until now. It is my first time making a fully edited video, any feedback is welcome. More videos to come!

Have fun! o7

It's just some basic control binding tip. On mouse and keyboard you might find it hard to fly at first, that's why a lot of cmdrs start with controller when they're not sure to buy flight sticks or not, it's because the "roll" action is by default binded to your mouse X axis, when "pitch" up and down is Y axis, and "yaw" (pitching left and right) is actually on A&D on your keyboard, which doesn't make much sense to me. By switching the "roll" action to A&D and "yaw" to your mouse, you can pitch your ship all directions with moving your mouse then roll-which is a separated action-to A&D. Hope I explained it well.

Another tip is every ship's command in this game can be binded to a button, except caustic sink launchers, so you can just in example bind your heatsink or thargoid shutdown neutraliser to some buttons instead of having them on a fire group, which reduces the amount of fire groups, making it easier to manage, especially in complexed combat scenario like AX combat.

I'm all about synthwave music when it's a long night haul. It's a good song to put on for a night drive, certainly gonna be a good song for flying at night (though there're not gonna be day/night in space)
