There should be a "Declare Emergency" signal from you to all nearby stations and the nearest will respond with all the information needed for you to reach safety asap including a clear access into the station (no ship going in or out until you reach the nearest landing pad). ;-)
This. This makes a lot of sense, especially if I'm using docking computer because I suck at using lateral thrusters and finding the entrance/correct pad. I'm about to die and the docking computer is like "waiting in queue"! Well yeah, sure, it's ok, I have all the time in the world. Also, running out of oxygen within a few hundred metres from the station while in emergency should result in getting towed into the station, not blowing up to pieces.
I will say the same. I mean we see signals for NPCs that had ran out of fuel, or a emergency ships to come. But again, Elite does it's best to not care about you as a player XD
@@TairnKA the issue is how too tell if it’s abuse. They obviously cannot survey everyone who is to use this new system, and automating it, for example if you do it within 5 minutes of each distress signal, leaves room for errors, such as multiple people “trolling” a station like Jameson with extreme traffic. Or the person doing it again as soon as the timer runs out. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but the payout for the effort and testing that will no doubt occur on the open sever is negligible, thus rendering it impractical to undertake a feat such as this. regardless this oops one reason a commander should always fly with rebuy.
Wanna hear a scary story? "Cabin pressure alert." But really though... Getting your canopy smashed is one of those areas where Elite really shines. The moment your canopy flies out into the void, you are given a very sudden and very rude reminder that you are in space, and space has no feelings or cares for what happens to you. It is only an open grave for the careless. Instantly, you go from being in a fight with another ship (which is where 99%-100% of all canopy breaches occur, right?) to being in a fight for your life. It's a race against the clock. Not only that, but you lose your primary navigation tool - *no HUD!* Now you have to resort to using ship panels and dashboard utilities. No point-and-select targets. The fact that you are flying a ship suddenly becomes very real as you have to rely on the compass and the front-left side of the dashboard, both to determine where your destination is relative to you, and how far away it is. Finally getting back into a space station is probably one of the most rewarding feelings. I've had this experience, and I can say for a fact that it was both scary and thrilling at the same time. Fun to experience, but you never want it to happen again, for sure!
+Iowranker I would like to see that on a video. Like: "Come on come on, nearly there" *Ships computer.* "Eject, eject" *And you are around 5 meter or so above the pad and about to make the final land thrusting* "FFFFFFFF!"
+Eugen Bold I know, I had been in the same before. But I had tried one thing out, that I think anyone should know. If your canopy explodes... Then get to the nearest starport. No outpost, a starport The reason I tried it was because I was curious about it (And we talking about some weeks ago, maybe a month) Like, would I be safe to land on an outpost if my canopy is gone? And I tried to turn off my life support before I landed and turned it back on. I landed. It didnt told me that it was refreshed (Like it does in a station) then I tried to turn it off while I was landed. It didnt work. I just thinking that it is nice to know that
My first broken canopy (in a sidewinder) ended very bad. I had 5 minutes, so i flied to closest station, (it was the small one). I request docking and *BOARDING PERMISSION DENIED* I HAVE LIKE 40 SECONDS OF OXYGEN FUCKING LET ME DOCK! *BOARDING PERMISSION DENIED* PLEASE!

@@dzengerbenger lol, no, have you ever tried combat i use a viper mk4 and i usually do bounty hunting in medium res sites and i gain like a million per 30 minutes, that isnt very much but its 5 times more than my rebuy costs
My scariest moment was when I was testing out my then new Imperial clipper and flew to an navigationbeacon near a sun. Suddenly I got atacked by an pirate wing, a powerplay agent, lost my shield and 99% hull. Of cousre I derpped out hard and forgot to rectract my weapons and didnt understand why I couldnt jump out, after I managed that they were still hunting me and I had to hurry to find the nearest station. I targeted an planet and barely escaped another interdiction. Then when I finally reached my destination I realiesed this was probably the most busy ground installation I ever had seen and had to dodge those crazy npcs before finally with around 1 m/s I landed on the landing pad. I litterally held my breath while landing because from smuggling I knew, one bump onto the pad and I would probably be dead.
That entire time you were docking I was just thinking to myself, "I hope this noob just eats it. Maybe it'll teach him a lesson." But alas you managed to kick your way through it. So here's the lessons to learn from this. Don't continue in a extraction site with less than 70% hull. Less than that, and you can be pretty sure you have module damage. And if you die. You lose all your bounties. Approach stations in the throttle sweet spot. The blue section. It's designed to make that the perfect place to be. Using two different types of fixed weapons at the same time. YOU CANT AIM MORE THAN ONE AT A TIME! not to mention the fact that you barely even use your small lasers. Those are two guns that you just let go to waste during the fight. You engaged a stronger ship that's also in a wing. And you did it without backup. Point being made here is that you did almost everything wrong and didn't even learn a lesson from it. Do better in the future or it will happen again.
We've all been in similar situations - I immediately dump pips to systems and engines to run away and recharge some shields just in case. But never recommend going back with less than 50% hull and no shields. This being a cobra is essentially a free rebuy though so u can be a bit more reckless with it :D
I had a moment like that too with 12 seconds left in a Vulture. Couldn't believe I had made it, trying to line up my path in frameshift without a proper HUD.
I feel you dude. This happened to me in my Anaconda, which is way scarier, because the ENTIRE canopy blows out and all the UI disappears. I had to navigate 6000 light seconds without Ui. I had 13 seconds left when I made it inside.
it's cheap enough to fit at least a C. People hating on it have no idea what they're talking about. You don't need it often but when you need it you'll need it bad. lol
Frank Zucker mark D is the lightest in the game and gives you more than 7min of oxygen, I've personally never been more than 6min out from a station before so I always suggest grabbing one of those as it adds more time over the E and gives you a minor boost to FSD range
If you're bounty hunting, it usually adds unwanted weight that could go to maneuverability. It could also reduce power plant total draw for hungrier ships such as the Vulture, allowing you to say, possibly add another shield booster instead.
Gravios74 yes but you can get a d rated one. It gives 7:30 minutes of life support, enough to get you to any nearest station when bounty hunting. Its also lighter than other ones and has a very minor difference in power draw between it and the e rated one
This exact same thing happened to me yesterday. I actually stayed and got the kill, pushing my luck. Made it inside the terminal with 4 seconds left and over 1.2 mil in bounties... thank god.
@@marcusthompson7229 and it uses a single AA battery as a power source I like the vulture, but even with a G5 overcharged and monstered 4A reactor I can't set it up the way I want due to power issues
Hehe, experienced that some times too and I oh so love how they implemented the broken canopy. It's just such a great detail how the sound gets all muffled, since no atmosphere = no sound waves from your environmental audio simulator (always bugs me when there is sound in a vacuum and no explanation) and all you can hear is _you_ breathing heavily and some sound vibrations travelling through your ships hull, your chair, your body, your helmet, very distant, very faint. Even tho I experienced it quite alot (my Clipper got a huge canopy that pops all the time), it still scares me to the point of shaking every time the canopy goes bye-bye. Oh and how the atmosphere and sound return the instant you go through the mail slot =D
... ah, you still had a minute and a half to spare. Plenty of time lol! I've been in a similar situation where I passed through their lock about 5 seconds before the oxygen-depleted. There was definitely a laundry charge in amongst the maintenance bill on that particular occasion.
yeah the closest to death i got from a canopy breach was 23 seconds, but i had to restart the damn ship a couple of times to get thrusters working before i could leave the combat zone... thankfully i was near Zhen station. Defiantly a squeaky bum time moment.
Had similar problems during my experience. My FSD was so damaged that it kept failing during Super Cruise, dropping me back out into real space whilst I was scrambling to get back to the star port ... just to add extra drama to an already tense situation. This was also back when I was a rookie and didn't know how to immediately fix the problem, so I was rapidly trying to trouble-shoot when I stumbled across the reboot/repair command which got me back online.
nope grey wolfe, i have almost 3000 hours and never need more than 3-4min when it broke, jump to the next system and go to the first starport. in deep space you are dead anyway.
I always invest a 10min oxygen into my ship. Ive only had my canopy breached once. And I got to the nearest station with 51 seconds left. Scared the living shit out of me lol.
situations like these are scary, especially when you're multiple systems away from the nearest station this is why you upgrade your life support AND have enough resources to refill your life support if you don't have enough time
I had a similar experience although as I was heading to the station mind you with 1:30 left on my life support I got interdicted and by the time I broke free from that and made it to the station I had but 30 or 45 seconds remaining. By the time my ship was safely through the air lock I had 19 seconds remaining. It's just crazy to me If I was 19 seconds slower I would have been dead.
Last time that happened to me I docked somewhere with no repair facilities. Oxygen replenisged, off I went, nly to get interdicted by pirates. Saw them off, then managed to dock with about 1minute of oxy left. Terrifying. I loved my Cobra
by far, the scariest moment of my own Bounty Hunting career is when i was in something like an Alliance Crusader. I thought it would be easy pickings when i spotted an adder, despite it being escorted by two eagles. I go in for the kill, and with my ship outfitted for shield tanking, i thought i had a clear upper hand. My shields got shredded quickly when they started firing railguns and plasma accelerators, and as i ran to recover my shields, they kept whittling down my hull. I was constantly thinking "shitshitshitshitshitshit-" as i charged my FSD. eventually i did jump and escape to Ohm city, but by then my Cruscader was held together by a singular bit of scrap metal (it was indicating i was at 0% hull). what really terrified me is that i didnt have the credits to rebuy at that time.
If that's your scariest moment in E:D, then you should try doing the same thing in an Anaconda. Nothing gets your heart pounding more than risking 7-12 million credits with a breached canopy.
I'm pretty sure that landing resets the timer so at least you would get some more time to calmly find a new destination and plan the fastest route possible.
This happened to me, except that I had 30 seconds left to get in the station, I panicked and I smashed into the gateway and died, and I had almost a million in bounties to hand it, I think I broke everything that day, after such a small mistake..
Based on my experience, basic life support is barely enough for an emergency landing, you'll need to optimize the flight to make your way home; and in some cases, you're screwed regardless of how hard you try, because some random stupid cop may think it would be fun to interdict you for a "routine check". 10-minute life support is almost mandatory for a safe returning. And if you operate in a distant area or expect rough escape, it's usually in your best interest to bring as much oxygen as possible. This combining some other shenanigans are the main reason I started to run mission assessment before each flight. Even the most basic briefing would turn idiots into passable pilots, since they would know what they were doing.
it's only scary when it happens in a system two jumps away from the nearest station. That's when you realize, A rated lifesupport has its uses - and materials from a planet have their uses, too. Had to synthesize refills for life support twice in a row before i got to the nearest station.
Oh yeah, fun times. I remember first time my glass went, I was in a conda. Always fun trying to navigate back to a station with no hud at all, relying on the compass and distance indicators.
I've had my canopy blow off in my old bounty hunting Python. It's a real scare, but I went A-rated life support and I finished that fivht before heading back. Now I have a type10 with an SLF and pretty damn good shields so I don't have to worry about that again. Any NPC ship now melts to mine fairly easily. Small ships were a problem (along with enemy SLFs) and that's why I got myself a Condor and a combat pilot.
I really think it would be awesome if they added a feature where the glass is actually a light filter. Where there is no glass space would be a bit dimmer and colorless. Nebulas would just look like dim white smudges in space. A nearby star would be a blaring light like the sun in real life. That would make a broken cabin a bit scarier wouldn't it?
You can synthesize more oxygen, if you have basic materials (at least, in current game). More terrifying is lost of FSD (so you need days to reach station next door) or thrusters. Fortunatelly, they both could be fixed via reboot/repair. Running out of fuel isn't nice too.
That's why you need at least D life support every time. It's cheap, lighter than E, and gives you 150 seconds more iirc. I remember when I was bounty hunting and got my canopy destroyed, I was literally right next to the station when the timer reached 0. And it was because some dumb NPC tried interdicting me on my way back so I lost the most valuable 10-20 seconds of my entire life.
I once did an auto dock in this and apparently clear to go in, just as I entered this gigantic ship came out, wedging my ship between his and the wall, it was getting crushed, alarms were going off everywhere, there was nothing I could do but pull the plug on my PS4. Sheer panic.
Can confirm, canopy breach is the scariest shit ever. I remember my first time clearly. Got intercepted by some pirates (I was just messing around in my eagle), they f***ed me up big time, I barely escaped. Headed back to station, got intercepted a second time (this was pretty early when they had this bug where you can't fight an intercept), first shot broke my canopy. I was so shocked this could even happen! My brain just went "WHAT The f- wait, is that hud actually projected on the canop- WAIT, I need oxygen" and I just made it with 20 seconds left xD
My experience was even worse I was in a cargo ship delivering to a planet when suddenly I get interdicted, I'm in a type 6 so I cant fight back at all and I dont have the engine to run I slowly get whittled down and the charge of the FSD takes forever A second bandit jumps in and my hull goes down to 15%, Feeling helpless Finally, my canopy starts to crack It breaks and I'm sure I'm done for. I just run, full power to engines and just go. I realize that security ships have jumped in and are fighting off the attackers, I have 10% hull and 4 minutes of air I get into super cruise and target the nearest station, its planetary Barely see where the planet is and slam into it too hard, knocking me out of supercruise, I only have a bit of time to get back to supercruise and down to the surface. As i finish charging up a whole ass anaconda jumps in right in front of me, another second and I would've been dead. Jump back to supercriuse and start heading down to the planet, right above the station, 2 minutes and dropping fast Glide engaged, 1:20 left get to the station and que my landing pad, 40 seconds left get to the pad with less than 20 seconds of air touchdown, 16 seconds left its still going down unlike spaceports the planetary ones dont have atmosphere Rush into the menus and click "canopy repair" with 6 seconds left it finally stops. Finally safe.
Damn... Cockpit crack open... Wonder if the Pilot could get killed by frontal hits... Also - WOW! First time i see in a game like this a Cockpit crack open and the Pilot struggle to stay alive! Nice vid ^^
Your Commander in this game is a hologram of itself who controls the ship. You are many lightyears away piloting the ship from the safety of a station or planet.
I always wonder what happens if traveling like 10 times the speed of light with the glass broken you hit a little screw floating casually in the space...00:39
the scariest 4 min of my time. was bounty hunting in my viper mk3 and took a dumbfire to the canopy and the ls went out so i had to jump with no hud to a station and land in less than 4 min. i came with in 15M of the pad and died from lack of o2. i was at kuchmann porn in Napia. got to say im in love with this system.
If you waited when the orange notch on distants in supercruise to get to the second blue line then came out of it you would of been much closer to that station but it dosent matter you had time to spare anyways when you arrived
I find it kind of silly that ships with years of life support loose their entire ability to create oxygen because the ship's canopy was breached. Do they really not have any sort of redundant system in case the fragile glass on the front of the huge cargo ship breaks?
I feel that although its a slower method, this is what the supercruise assist was truly made for. People who lost their hud and can't target accurately.
This is cute XD back when I was a young, naive CMDR who fealt invincible in his new anaconda I did almost this exact thing, but I didn't have enough money to pay the insurance on it. DONT FLY WITHOUT A REBUY KIDS
Can you imagine going into supercruise and some random tiny pebble came flying at you beyond the speed of light and just perforated you like a BB to a soggy sheet of paper, good thing you had shields I had a scary experience sorta like this too just yesterday, I'm still fairly new to the game and I was taking my type10 out for bounties, I got all full of myself having a space galleon armed to the teeth I didn't realize I attacked a master rank corvette until it did one pass of me and shredded my shields and mist of my hull. I dumped a heatsink and slid into SC and got back to a station with 4% hull, narutally most my modules were fried so I got to take it in manually... for the first time ever. The type10 is so fukin huge it takes up the entire mail slot going in and out so that was fun, hoping I didn't smack into anything hard enough to pierce my shields and sneeze the remaining hull plates off my ass before I could land. Thankfully all went well and I learned a couple mportant lessons that day, one is that you should definitely at least practice manually docking and cruising, if not dump flight assist altogether, and two, it costs... SO much to repair a Type10 from the brink, half a mil if I remember right.
Every time I buy a ship that class 5A life support is going straight on. I've had too many close calls and too many times where I didn't make it back at all. As the old saying goes and as someone else already stated here in the comments, it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I've never gotten why people throw a fuss about it. Not like you can't just sell it whenever you choose.
Don't do that in a Cobra. Read the labels of combat skills, it said "Dangerous", even if that's an ASP the ship could still pack a punch, you shouldn't have engaged with your haul at 43%. Just go to repair to a station and come back. When you're in a Python, Anaconda or Imperial Cutter then you can have the luxury of engaging multiple ships at 43% as you have more haul-enhanced compartments and bigger shields.
This happened to me near haxel port at the high resource extraction point. I thaught it was a good idea to rush a hauler when I had only 20% hull strength. It took out my thrusters twice (which made me reboot&repair twice) then my shields but I managed to escape somehow. I just kept getting dominated by seeker missiles (I didn't have any counters on my old viper MK3
My life support record was 9 seconds left. landed with the straight face of confidence, and as soon as I was landed and repaired, I curled up in bed for an hour with the shakes. I never roll with less than C-class life support anymore ;p
If my canopy gets breached I'm screwed..im way out from the bubble at the moment,don't think 7 minutes is enough to get me 1k lys(nearest probably quince) with a ship that's got a 37 ly jump range pahaha
You were lucky to be close to a station. I have a D class life support, so 7:30 of atmo, and I had 10 seconds left when I finally made it into the station slot.
Man those are the heart pounding moments when the glass breaks and you're trying to navigate super cruise. Even with the guidance system that stuff is still scary lol.
i blew up outside a station because i went to a full station and everybody was afk inside them. finally some guy responded but by then i had like 20 seconds to live and i basically blew up in front of him.
I’ve had one of those o shyt moments but was bout 250ly from colonial was worst 15 min of my life praying to god you make it as those precious seconds tik by
They may be NPCs but a deadly one can kick ur teeth in if ur not geared. Lost my Anaconda to a deadly Python NPC. Mainly cuz I'm not engineered and hadn't noticed he was deadly.
I was atacking a Dolphin, easy peezie right? Well, the Wanted flag on him dropped on me MID-ENGAGEMENT...so now I'm a criminal and new to that mechanic, try to go to the station to get it cleared up, got docking approval, hit the mail slot in afterburner, beeep beeep beep, trespassing! ALERT GET OUT! LEAVE! afterburner out the mail slot, targeted by system defense guys, flames and sparks everywhere, barely make it out alive... That was interesting.... Now I'm very nervous attacking even WANTED people...
My only combat experience was failed attempt to disable haler's turrets system. I didn't even know Who attacked me, so i barely escaped with 11%. For now only exploring and doing cargo transfers
The most terrifying 3 seconds to was when i was entering a station in my type 7 and the autodock failed causing me to go smack into the station at a speed of 200+ ended up with only 20% hull
This literally happened to my beluga. I had dumbed about 200 million into that thing.. did a sag A passenger run. And players ( or bandits ) pulled me out did massive damage but I got away. I am about to enter the hangar and i explode.. i havent played elite dangerous since that very day. I had scanned research from systems and 40 milliom credit passenger on board.
Yeah mostly caution is the thing you need in this game. That and knowing how not to panic. Best to not get into dumb situations but when shit hits the fan you need a sense of: fuck it, run. At that moment, all power needs to immediately go to your engines, and begin boosting. You want 4 power in engine and the rest going system to restore your shields. Useful if you fsd is a bit way. My personal HOLY FUCK, moment was an interdiction sending me into the tail of a neutron stars tail. Canopy gone, ship at half everything, but I boosted away to super cruise after 2 minutes of: HOW DO I EVEN LEAVE?!? Canopy failures are common, so ensure you have a life support that can keep you alive for at least 10 minutes.
First time this happened to me the only nearby station was planetary. I was new but had fortunately just practiced planetary approaches enough to do it without help from the HUD. Still, that was super freaky. Also I think the glide should have killled my pilot
Seems I'll find out sooner or later... after I manage to finish training. ;) [been too busy elsewhen, managing 3 fleets. Quite a difference, between 1,500 members/ships, & just 1, my own with 1, me & myself]
My scariest experience was very much like this with no canopy, except my thrusters and FSD were also taken out. I was frantically flipping through the tabs like a slideshow when I found an option to restart and repair systems. It only repaired 2 of them, but the stars aligned for me because it was the FSD and thrusters. I BEELINED for the nearest station XD
I've made it with 5 seconds before.... But that's because I always run the grade A life support so if my canopy breaks them I gots 25 minutes to finish my fight and head home
Life support, it goes a little like this old saying:
"Better have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it."
Yep ^^ Love that line
Favorite saying, I use it all the time.
I always use the 10 minute plus

I litterally held my breath while landing because from smuggling I knew, one bump onto the pad and I would probably be dead.
hope this is ok, this was really just practice for my editing and adding in text. But i felt i would upload it anyway
wholer terminal in kreeman right? thats where i keep all my ships we should fly some time
you are correct CMDR :D
That entire time you were docking I was just thinking to myself, "I hope this noob just eats it. Maybe it'll teach him a lesson." But alas you managed to kick your way through it.
So here's the lessons to learn from this. Don't continue in a extraction site with less than 70% hull. Less than that, and you can be pretty sure you have module damage. And if you die. You lose all your bounties. Approach stations in the throttle sweet spot. The blue section. It's designed to make that the perfect place to be. Using two different types of fixed weapons at the same time. YOU CANT AIM MORE THAN ONE AT A TIME! not to mention the fact that you barely even use your small lasers. Those are two guns that you just let go to waste during the fight. You engaged a stronger ship that's also in a wing. And you did it without backup.
Point being made here is that you did almost everything wrong and didn't even learn a lesson from it. Do better in the future or it will happen again.
You're not wrong, but you come across as extremely rude and arrogant in how you put that. Makes it hard to want to remember what you said.
Garrett Haldeman this was uploaded in February I'm sure he's an ace by now
We've all been in similar situations - I immediately dump pips to systems and engines to run away and recharge some shields just in case. But never recommend going back with less than 50% hull and no shields. This being a cobra is essentially a free rebuy though so u can be a bit more reckless with it :D
Same thing happened to me today, made it through the door with 1 second on the clock. Nearly had a heart attack!
I had a moment like that too with 12 seconds left in a Vulture. Couldn't believe I had made it, trying to line up my path in frameshift without a proper HUD.
I feel you dude. This happened to me in my Anaconda, which is way scarier, because the ENTIRE canopy blows out and all the UI disappears. I had to navigate 6000 light seconds without Ui. I had 13 seconds left when I made it inside.
Idk why but so many people don't seem to invest in life support
it's cheap enough to fit at least a C. People hating on it have no idea what they're talking about. You don't need it often but when you need it you'll need it bad. lol
Frank Zucker mark D is the lightest in the game and gives you more than 7min of oxygen, I've personally never been more than 6min out from a station before so I always suggest grabbing one of those as it adds more time over the E and gives you a minor boost to FSD range
Amen! life support is usually one of my first investments in a new ship.
If you're bounty hunting, it usually adds unwanted weight that could go to maneuverability. It could also reduce power plant total draw for hungrier ships such as the Vulture, allowing you to say, possibly add another shield booster instead.
Gravios74 yes but you can get a d rated one. It gives 7:30 minutes of life support, enough to get you to any nearest station when bounty hunting. Its also lighter than other ones and has a very minor difference in power draw between it and the e rated one
This exact same thing happened to me yesterday. I actually stayed and got the kill, pushing my luck. Made it inside the terminal with 4 seconds left and over 1.2 mil in bounties... thank god.
Happened to me far too many times in my vulture, get ship, canopy made out of tinfoil though.
@@marcusthompson7229 and it uses a single AA battery as a power source
I like the vulture, but even with a G5 overcharged and monstered 4A reactor I can't set it up the way I want due to power issues
Hehe, experienced that some times too and I oh so love how they implemented the broken canopy. It's just such a great detail how the sound gets all muffled, since no atmosphere = no sound waves from your environmental audio simulator (always bugs me when there is sound in a vacuum and no explanation) and all you can hear is _you_ breathing heavily and some sound vibrations travelling through your ships hull, your chair, your body, your helmet, very distant, very faint. Even tho I experienced it quite alot (my Clipper got a huge canopy that pops all the time), it still scares me to the point of shaking every time the canopy goes bye-bye.
Oh and how the atmosphere and sound return the instant you go through the mail slot =D
I like that nickname for the slots on the big stations XD And I really dont know why
There are force fields in mail slots that let everything except for air in and out.
A grade life support
... ah, you still had a minute and a half to spare. Plenty of time lol!
I've been in a similar situation where I passed through their lock about 5 seconds before the oxygen-depleted. There was definitely a laundry charge in amongst the maintenance bill on that particular occasion.
yeah the closest to death i got from a canopy breach was 23 seconds, but i had to restart the damn ship a couple of times to get thrusters working before i could leave the combat zone... thankfully i was near Zhen station. Defiantly a squeaky bum time moment.
Had similar problems during my experience. My FSD was so damaged that it kept failing during Super Cruise, dropping me back out into real space whilst I was scrambling to get back to the star port ... just to add extra drama to an already tense situation. This was also back when I was a rookie and didn't know how to immediately fix the problem, so I was rapidly trying to trouble-shoot when I stumbled across the reboot/repair command which got me back online.
nope grey wolfe, i have almost 3000 hours and never need more than 3-4min when it broke, jump to the next system and go to the first starport.
in deep space you are dead anyway.
You haven't lived until you hit the slot with triple zeroes on the counter. The stress.... ugh....
I always invest a 10min oxygen into my ship. Ive only had my canopy breached once. And I got to the nearest station with 51 seconds left. Scared the living shit out of me lol.
25 minutes for me, I like to finish my fights when possible before I jump out
The whole time I was waiting for you to put pips to systems
situations like these are scary, especially when you're multiple systems away from the nearest station
this is why you upgrade your life support
AND have enough resources to refill your life support if you don't have enough time
I had a similar experience although as I was heading to the station mind you with 1:30 left on my life support I got interdicted and by the time I broke free from that and made it to the station I had but 30 or 45 seconds remaining. By the time my ship was safely through the air lock I had 19 seconds remaining. It's just crazy to me If I was 19 seconds slower I would have been dead.
Last time that happened to me I docked somewhere with no repair facilities. Oxygen replenisged, off I went, nly to get interdicted by pirates. Saw them off, then managed to dock with about 1minute of oxy left. Terrifying. I loved my Cobra
Imagine having years worth of exploration data and you run out of fuel 30k ly out from the closest form of civilization. That's scary
Pretty nice to go from an in-combat canopy breach, to a combat disengage, to jumping to the station, to docking, all in just a hair over 3.5 minutes.
Wohler, my dear beloved home ;D
by far, the scariest moment of my own Bounty Hunting career is when i was in something like an Alliance Crusader. I thought it would be easy pickings when i spotted an adder, despite it being escorted by two eagles. I go in for the kill, and with my ship outfitted for shield tanking, i thought i had a clear upper hand. My shields got shredded quickly when they started firing railguns and plasma accelerators, and as i ran to recover my shields, they kept whittling down my hull. I was constantly thinking "shitshitshitshitshitshit-" as i charged my FSD. eventually i did jump and escape to Ohm city, but by then my Cruscader was held together by a singular bit of scrap metal (it was indicating i was at 0% hull). what really terrified me is that i didnt have the credits to rebuy at that time.
If that's your scariest moment in E:D, then you should try doing the same thing in an Anaconda. Nothing gets your heart pounding more than risking 7-12 million credits with a breached canopy.
Imperial Cutter's death forced me to pay 45mil credits
Now imagine landing into a station where you can't repair your haul xD
I'm pretty sure that landing resets the timer so at least you would get some more time to calmly find a new destination and plan the fastest route possible.
This happened to me, except that I had 30 seconds left to get in the station, I panicked and I smashed into the gateway and died, and I had almost a million in bounties to hand it, I think I broke everything that day, after such a small mistake..
those gateways arent easy to get through bro dont beat urself up theres still light in tunnel brother
Based on my experience, basic life support is barely enough for an emergency landing, you'll need to optimize the flight to make your way home; and in some cases, you're screwed regardless of how hard you try, because some random stupid cop may think it would be fun to interdict you for a "routine check". 10-minute life support is almost mandatory for a safe returning. And if you operate in a distant area or expect rough escape, it's usually in your best interest to bring as much oxygen as possible.
This combining some other shenanigans are the main reason I started to run mission assessment before each flight. Even the most basic briefing would turn idiots into passable pilots, since they would know what they were doing.
In Elite, the path to bounty hunting is paved with broken canopies, close calls and risky choices.
it's only scary when it happens in a system two jumps away from the nearest station. That's when you realize, A rated lifesupport has its uses - and materials from a planet have their uses, too. Had to synthesize refills for life support twice in a row before i got to the nearest station.
Oh yeah, fun times. I remember first time my glass went, I was in a conda. Always fun trying to navigate back to a station with no hud at all, relying on the compass and distance indicators.
All hail supercruise assist
I JUST discovered this game existed...I gotta finish my PC build.
I've had my canopy blow off in my old bounty hunting Python. It's a real scare, but I went A-rated life support and I finished that fivht before heading back.
Now I have a type10 with an SLF and pretty damn good shields so I don't have to worry about that again. Any NPC ship now melts to mine fairly easily. Small ships were a problem (along with enemy SLFs) and that's why I got myself a Condor and a combat pilot.
My fist canipy break SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SORRY I NEED TO RUUUN as my wing mate trys to understand what is going on
Once I've managed to run back to nearest station for urgent canopy repairs when less than 10 seconds of oxygen were available. Incredible feelings.
I really think it would be awesome if they added a feature where the glass is actually a light filter. Where there is no glass space would be a bit dimmer and colorless. Nebulas would just look like dim white smudges in space. A nearby star would be a blaring light like the sun in real life. That would make a broken cabin a bit scarier wouldn't it?
It IS like this! Only with stars though, they're bright as frick
Ah tbe memories of one being a complete noob, the good old days~
6:22 The moment of peace when you know you have survived
this happened to me in a crew all my team mates were laughing as i straight paniced
It is very cool how they have setup the HUD to the windshield. Very interesting seeing the HUD disjointed. Really immersive.
Congratulations.
I need to practice scanning as well.
Sick, using Silent Running. Most pilots don't even seem to know that exists.
You can synthesize more oxygen, if you have basic materials (at least, in current game).
More terrifying is lost of FSD (so you need days to reach station next door) or thrusters. Fortunatelly, they both could be fixed via reboot/repair.
Running out of fuel isn't nice too.
I never upgraded my life support until this happened the first time. 5 min of air is barely enough if you're lucky.
ASP Scout: *Im about to end this mans whole career*
That's why you need at least D life support every time. It's cheap, lighter than E, and gives you 150 seconds more iirc. I remember when I was bounty hunting and got my canopy destroyed, I was literally right next to the station when the timer reached 0. And it was because some dumb NPC tried interdicting me on my way back so I lost the most valuable 10-20 seconds of my entire life.
I once did an auto dock in this and apparently clear to go in, just as I entered this gigantic ship came out, wedging my ship between his and the wall, it was getting crushed, alarms were going off everywhere, there was nothing I could do but pull the plug on my PS4. Sheer panic.
Can confirm, canopy breach is the scariest shit ever. I remember my first time clearly. Got intercepted by some pirates (I was just messing around in my eagle), they f***ed me up big time, I barely escaped. Headed back to station, got intercepted a second time (this was pretty early when they had this bug where you can't fight an intercept), first shot broke my canopy. I was so shocked this could even happen! My brain just went "WHAT The f- wait, is that hud actually projected on the canop- WAIT, I need oxygen" and I just made it with 20 seconds left xD
Playing Star Wars Episode I music fits really well with this.
"Where there is no glass, there is No Hud."
T-shirt!
No glass;
No Hud.
(In the tradition of e. e. cummings.)
My experience was even worse
I was in a cargo ship delivering to a planet when suddenly I get interdicted, I'm in a type 6 so I cant fight back at all and I dont have the engine to run
I slowly get whittled down and the charge of the FSD takes forever
A second bandit jumps in and my hull goes down to 15%, Feeling helpless
Finally, my canopy starts to crack
It breaks and I'm sure I'm done for.
I just run, full power to engines and just go.
I realize that security ships have jumped in and are fighting off the attackers, I have 10% hull and 4 minutes of air
I get into super cruise and target the nearest station, its planetary
Barely see where the planet is and slam into it too hard, knocking me out of supercruise, I only have a bit of time to get back to supercruise and down to the surface.
As i finish charging up a whole ass anaconda jumps in right in front of me, another second and I would've been dead.
Jump back to supercriuse and start heading down to the planet, right above the station, 2 minutes and dropping fast
Glide engaged, 1:20 left
get to the station and que my landing pad, 40 seconds left
get to the pad with less than 20 seconds of air
touchdown, 16 seconds left
its still going down
unlike spaceports the planetary ones dont have atmosphere
Rush into the menus and click "canopy repair" with 6 seconds left
it finally stops.
Finally safe.
And thats the reason, why i buy the A-life-support as one of the first things in a new ship
Damn... Cockpit crack open... Wonder if the Pilot could get killed by frontal hits... Also - WOW! First time i see in a game like this a Cockpit crack open and the Pilot struggle to stay alive! Nice vid ^^
3 years but finaly get a heart yay ♡
Your Commander in this game is a hologram of itself who controls the ship. You are many lightyears away piloting the ship from the safety of a station or planet.
Ah cracked canopy, the only downside of a combat Orca.
No glass, no HUD is a really cool detail
Hyperspace without glass.... well , what a strange game .
I always wonder what happens if traveling like 10 times the speed of light with the glass broken you hit a little screw floating casually in the space...00:39
the scariest 4 min of my time. was bounty hunting in my viper mk3 and took a dumbfire to the canopy and the ls went out so i had to jump with no hud to a station and land in less than 4 min. i came with in 15M of the pad and died from lack of o2. i was at kuchmann porn in Napia. got to say im in love with this system.
Lol, this is pretty standard for any Vulture pilot. The canopy on those ships are ultra frail.
When I tried to intercept a pirate convoy... I didn't expect the a transport to have railguns...
Damn, imagine that happening to you in real life.
If you waited when the orange notch on distants in supercruise to get to the second blue line then came out of it you would of been much closer to that station but it dosent matter you had time to spare anyways when you arrived
Once you enter the mail slot, you have oxygen. Timer stops at that point.
I find it kind of silly that ships with years of life support loose their entire ability to create oxygen because the ship's canopy was breached. Do they really not have any sort of redundant system in case the fragile glass on the front of the huge cargo ship breaks?
That would be terrifying. That's why I stay a good noodle in this game
he calls himself CMDR Cephalon, but does he know hes actually calling himself CMDR Head, also must have been his first canopy break
I feel that although its a slower method, this is what the supercruise assist was truly made for. People who lost their hud and can't target accurately.
This is cute XD back when I was a young, naive CMDR who fealt invincible in his new anaconda I did almost this exact thing, but I didn't have enough money to pay the insurance on it.
DONT FLY WITHOUT A REBUY KIDS
Remember the old Eve Online adage: Don't fly what you can't afford to lose
Can you imagine going into supercruise and some random tiny pebble came flying at you beyond the speed of light and just perforated you like a BB to a soggy sheet of paper, good thing you had shields
I had a scary experience sorta like this too just yesterday, I'm still fairly new to the game and I was taking my type10 out for bounties, I got all full of myself having a space galleon armed to the teeth I didn't realize I attacked a master rank corvette until it did one pass of me and shredded my shields and mist of my hull. I dumped a heatsink and slid into SC and got back to a station with 4% hull, narutally most my modules were fried so I got to take it in manually... for the first time ever. The type10 is so fukin huge it takes up the entire mail slot going in and out so that was fun, hoping I didn't smack into anything hard enough to pierce my shields and sneeze the remaining hull plates off my ass before I could land. Thankfully all went well and I learned a couple mportant lessons that day, one is that you should definitely at least practice manually docking and cruising, if not dump flight assist altogether, and two, it costs... SO much to repair a Type10 from the brink, half a mil if I remember right.
Every time I buy a ship that class 5A life support is going straight on. I've had too many close calls and too many times where I didn't make it back at all. As the old saying goes and as someone else already stated here in the comments, it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I've never gotten why people throw a fuss about it. Not like you can't just sell it whenever you choose.
imagine if you got interdicted just before reaching the station
In this 4 minutes you could stuck Interstellar dramatic music
Don't do that in a Cobra. Read the labels of combat skills, it said "Dangerous", even if that's an ASP the ship could still pack a punch, you shouldn't have engaged with your haul at 43%. Just go to repair to a station and come back. When you're in a Python, Anaconda or Imperial Cutter then you can have the luxury of engaging multiple ships at 43% as you have more haul-enhanced compartments and bigger shields.
This happened to me near haxel port at the high resource extraction point. I thaught it was a good idea to rush a hauler when I had only 20% hull strength. It took out my thrusters twice (which made me reboot&repair twice) then my shields but I managed to escape somehow. I just kept getting dominated by seeker missiles (I didn't have any counters on my old viper MK3
It's really scary when the canopy is destroyed. I always buy for all my ships a 10min canope
My life support record was 9 seconds left. landed with the straight face of confidence, and as soon as I was landed and repaired, I curled up in bed for an hour with the shakes. I never roll with less than C-class life support anymore ;p
I remember my first cabin breach, scariest thing ever, so much fun.
If my canopy gets breached I'm screwed..im way out from the bubble at the moment,don't think 7 minutes is enough to get me 1k lys(nearest probably quince) with a ship that's got a 37 ly jump range pahaha
You were lucky to be close to a station. I have a D class life support, so 7:30 of atmo, and I had 10 seconds left when I finally made it into the station slot.
Man those are the heart pounding moments when the glass breaks and you're trying to navigate super cruise. Even with the guidance system that stuff is still scary lol.
Nice escape!... would have been a really unfortunate time to find an Orca jammed in the mail slot 🤣
I lost my first python and didnt have rebuy. So now i always get a life support upgrade
i blew up outside a station because i went to a full station and everybody was afk inside them. finally some guy responded but by then i had like 20 seconds to live and i basically blew up in front of him.
I’ve had one of those o shyt moments but was bout 250ly from colonial was worst 15 min of my life praying to god you make it as those precious seconds tik by
Everyone who played solo from a start had some moments like that.
They may be NPCs but a deadly one can kick ur teeth in if ur not geared. Lost my Anaconda to a deadly Python NPC. Mainly cuz I'm not engineered and hadn't noticed he was deadly.
Your head movement is really smooth. What are you playing on?
I was atacking a Dolphin, easy peezie right? Well, the Wanted flag on him dropped on me MID-ENGAGEMENT...so now I'm a criminal and new to that mechanic, try to go to the station to get it cleared up, got docking approval, hit the mail slot in afterburner, beeep beeep beep, trespassing! ALERT GET OUT! LEAVE! afterburner out the mail slot, targeted by system defense guys, flames and sparks everywhere, barely make it out alive... That was interesting.... Now I'm very nervous attacking even WANTED people...
My only combat experience was failed attempt to disable haler's turrets system. I didn't even know Who attacked me, so i barely escaped with 11%. For now only exploring and doing cargo transfers
Ah this reminds me of my first months in the game, flying the cobra 3, bounties, getting fucked by DBX's. Those were the days. Fly safe CMDR
In my roughly 30+ hours, I've thankfully never had to deal with this.
But I've always had the 20 minute Life Support installed, just in case!
The most terrifying 3 seconds to was when i was entering a station in my type 7 and the autodock failed causing me to go smack into the station at a speed of 200+ ended up with only 20% hull
This literally happened to my beluga. I had dumbed about 200 million into that thing.. did a sag A passenger run. And players ( or bandits ) pulled me out did massive damage but I got away. I am about to enter the hangar and i explode.. i havent played elite dangerous since that very day. I had scanned research from systems and 40 milliom credit passenger on board.
Yeah mostly caution is the thing you need in this game. That and knowing how not to panic. Best to not get into dumb situations but when shit hits the fan you need a sense of: fuck it, run. At that moment, all power needs to immediately go to your engines, and begin boosting. You want 4 power in engine and the rest going system to restore your shields. Useful if you fsd is a bit way. My personal HOLY FUCK, moment was an interdiction sending me into the tail of a neutron stars tail. Canopy gone, ship at half everything, but I boosted away to super cruise after 2 minutes of: HOW DO I EVEN LEAVE?!? Canopy failures are common, so ensure you have a life support that can keep you alive for at least 10 minutes.
First time this happened to me the only nearby station was planetary. I was new but had fortunately just practiced planetary approaches enough to do it without help from the HUD. Still, that was super freaky. Also I think the glide should have killled my pilot
Seems I'll find out sooner or later... after I manage to finish training. ;) [been too busy elsewhen, managing 3 fleets. Quite a difference, between 1,500 members/ships, & just 1, my own with 1, me & myself]
My scariest experience was very much like this with no canopy, except my thrusters and FSD were also taken out. I was frantically flipping through the tabs like a slideshow when I found an option to restart and repair systems. It only repaired 2 of them, but the stars aligned for me because it was the FSD and thrusters. I BEELINED for the nearest station XD
I've made it with 5 seconds before.... But that's because I always run the grade A life support so if my canopy breaks them I gots 25 minutes to finish my fight and head home
I crashed my endgame asp on the landing bay softly and apparently that's a threat to the entire system and I was killed :(
I had the same thing happen. I had 20ish seconds when i got to the station and didnt see the Atmosphere restored and thought: "That's it, I'm dead.
