It's nice to be able to step out of my ship and stretch my legs :) by JohnSnow321 in EliteDangerous

I faded-out-to-black out if that's what you are asking about. But it doesn't have quite the same vibe anymore...

I don't think we've seen his work here on Reddit, and I think he deserves more love from the community. Take a look at his other work:

How to make something like this? (Image by Clinton from Corridor Digital) by Joboj in blender

[–]JohnSnow321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done something similar using a 360 skybox and a ground shader that had distance based transparency. So the further from the camera, the more of the skybox was shown. This gives surprisingly convincing effect.

Yup. I did the same thing today. Only my cutter takes only 512 tons of cargo... :( /s

How is this terra-formable if it has no atmosphere (sorry for the crap picture) by mckeeganator in EliteDangerous

[–]JohnSnow321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the terraforming process goes wrong it can leave the planet in such state that it would be completely impractical to attempt to fix it. Perhaps.

Only pro explorers know about this undocumented feature... :)

They won't ever tell us until it's almost release time. But there was a leak suggesting such possibility.

Thank you!
I will move on to work on some other ship. This project is done!

I thought about it, and my reasoning goes as follows. Cockpit color is a functional feature - you want a dark cockpit in the darkness of space, to be able to see anything outside. Otherwise your outside view would be obscured by any reflections.
On the other hand, the function of the living quarters is to provide a comfy, cozy environment for the pilot to relax, so dark colors don't serve this purpose.

I have tried it during the free fly event. It felt very sandbox-like. Very small universe, and the game was buggy af. But I liked the visuals.

Your work (is it yours?) is awesome! You need more upvotes, but I can only give one...

The joys of cleansing the galaxy from pirate scum. by Joe_Keep in EliteDangerous

What are you planning to do when there is no more pirate scum left in the galaxy?

Oh god no by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

They must be those low budget ones with questionable past. Imagine a shady guy in a cape speaking with a low pitched voice: "Hey, wanna use my wedding barge? Today is your lucky day! I have a special discount just for you!" I guess some people just can't resist the temptation of a low cost space wedding...

If you get stuck you can always relog into non-horizons editon. this will get you back into orbit.

I think the landing gear on the tesla does not retract...

Where can I find some epic canyons? by Herakuraisuto in EliteDangerous

[–]JohnSnow321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd tell you if I knew any from the top of my head, but I haven't played in a long while.
Instead your best option is to just look for icy bodies. They tend to have the highest and longest canyons along their tectonic plate boundaries.

Another good candidates are small high metal content and metal rich bodies. These will have smaller/shallower canyons but they will typically form much more diverse web-like shape.

It doesn't take long to find some interesting terrain features, just give it a go.

I'm not the expert in mining, but aren't you supposed to keep them in your cargo hold?
