    I'm so glad I found your channel. It kept popping up here and there when searching CZcams for Elite videos.
    1) Your editing is flawless (love the seamless cuts between Frame Shift jumps).
    2) You present the information incredibly well.
    3) Your narration is on point.
    4) Your voice fits Elite like a glove.
    Keep up the superior work, CMDR Obsidian! o7

    Love your videos.. great presentation and a clear easy to understand voice. One question though... Why not record in 16:9 format? as it is even running the video full screen I have difficulty reading the text in the game's GUI because of "letterboxing". It's the only stumbling block to just about perfect tutorials

    • @ObsidianAnt
      @ObsidianAnt  Před 7 lety +1

    • @TinfoilChef
      @TinfoilChef Před 7 lety

      ObsidianAnt no offense intended but personally i prefer easy visibility over "cinematic" any day. I realize the monitor size does present limitations and that for you, that's full screen... If I were in such a situation I'd play the 21:9 and crop to 16:9 in video editing just to be compatible with YT's player.... but that's me.

    Hey ObsidianAnt. Could you explain how to do some of the new missions in Horizons because even though I spent a lot of time with the game I have a problem with one type of missions which are very well paid (100.000 Cr to 800.000 Cr). Those missions are to take and hold some amount of materials for quite some time until I get contacted by someone where to deliver it. The problem is it doesn't describe where I should go or what to do (only contact name like "John Smith"). I take the stuff go into space, check every unidentified/strong/weak signal etc. After an hour of happening nothing I get "mission failed" massage even though there's no timer on mission.

    question: can i mine things from roids and use them in synthesis or does it have to be planet mined?
    also does the FSD boost heat your ship up more? that could be a very balanced outcome or slight damage or something for the increased range

Does the scanner only work when targetting something specific?

    Been playing vanilla for about 140 hours. If I download Horizons, will I lose my progress to date?

    I just watched through the beginnig of the part on SRVs to try to learn how to deploy them... Still can't do it. I tried the link in the description for the other video and it isn't working. So I'll just ask here: How do I deploy the vehicle? I've been trying to deploy onto LHS 3447 B 1 for hours for a contract and have only been getting progressively angrier at the game for my efforts.

      Correction: LHS 3447 B 1 A, the closest moon to the LHS 3447 B 1 Gas Giant.
