    I hated Planetary landing. I stayed away from mission requiring it. I watched many planet landing video's but yours by far is the best. Good graphics, great narration and the follow-up portion for leaving a planet is great also. It's a very necessary part of the story ! I no longer fear planet landings or take offs. Thank you

      Same here. I thought I would take me a few missions to get the hang of it, but I just could not get it right. After watching this video I finally can. Thanks for this great tutorial, by the far the best on the topic. Now I can enjoy these missions and I do.

    Me (an idiot pilot): time to land on a planet. Full speed ahead! Oh crap, planetary orbit and I’m super far from my target, better turn around. Oh? Dropped from orbital cruise? Glide aborted? And yet I’m still 500km away from the target.
    Lol! Thanks for the tutorial commander, this helped me avoid doing what I just described above.

    Thanks for the video, as well as the additional technical information and tips on how to land at a planetary outpost. When I first tried landing on a planetary outpost, I spent way too much time gliding and wasted about 10 minutes covering the remaining distance to the outpost in regular flight. After watching this video, I became a lot more time-efficient when landing on planets.
    A few hours ago, someone on the EDC Discord asked for help landing on planets, and I referred them to this video, describing it to be "highly useful for learning how to land on planets efficiently". Hopefully, they'll benefit from watching this video as much as I did!

  • @DiehardMechWarrior
    @DiehardMechWarrior Před 3 lety +2

    Thank GOD for this tutorial! Still kinda green to this whole shebang (bought the game on PS4 this past May and have just recently gotten a HOTAS so I can actually play-I don’t care what everyone else says; playing ED on a controller is damn near impossible and people who tell you otherwise are LYING), but this actually might help me expand my bounty hunting repertoire quite substantially.

    @mikeb1013 Před 3 lety

    Clearest and best tutorial I have found on planet base landing. Thank you so much. As a fairly new player I struggled with this many times, for delivery missions. I totalled my ship once which put me off doing further planet ones. I could never work out from orbit how to get the correct angle to start decending at. This has explained so clearly that I will try again. Many thanks.

  • @SuperChaoticus
    @SuperChaoticus Před 2 lety

    Thanks for this. Just started playing, grabbing delivery missions to build up a bit of cash. I had no idea there are planetary bases until I got a mission that led me to one. Needless to say, I had no idea what I was doing and messed it up. This vid has got me back on track and plugging away towards buying my first ship!

    I know this is an old video, but wanted to say thanks for posting it! I'm new to the game and was having a heck of a time getting my base landings close to the base, even after reading a dozen different forums and things...no one explained it in basic, layman's terms (this is a real problem in general for this game...makes it hard for a newcomer to learn because nothing on the internet that comes up on google searches explains things in a way that makes sense for someone who doesn't already know the game).
    Then I watched this video. Turns out I was waaay overthinking things. Thank you for sharing this video, it saved my life...I now come out of glide and instantly go to being able to dock 100% of the time. I'm 5 days into playing and finally got most of the game play figured out, your videos were a big part of that!

    When I take off from a planet I prefer to do this in the same motion.. I vertical ascend , turn away from the planet (close to 90 degrees) with my arse facing back at it, gear up and boost... Lot faster then just vertical ascending. Great video for the new pilots.

    • @UltimateBargains
      @UltimateBargains Před 7 lety

      Kruell Right, I was having trouble with overheating until I started pointing straight up as early as possible. Then hit FSD as early as possible. When I already have another star system selected and it is in view, then I can hyperdrive directly to it without first going through supercruise, but sometimes I need to spend heatsink when the ascent angle is too low.

    @ianyboo Před 5 lety

    Since there is no up or down in space something that helps me quite a bit is to think of the planetary base as being on the roof. So to help visualize that as you're leaving flip yourself upside down so the surface of the planet is above you and then point your nose down when you leave. Now instead of tilting yourself on your backside and going straight "up" you are diving "downward" into the depths of space.

    @giausjulius4 Před 7 lety +1

    Now, of course, there is the factor of gravity and location of desired landing sites but I have seen perfect approach angles and I was hoping to see that here. If you approach a planet at the perfect angle you can go from SC to OC to Glide and then be at your landing site without adjusting your attitude. It speeds up the landing process considerably since you spend less time in OC trying to get the best angle to your target. I still haven't been able to find the exact angle of approach but I have had limited success with an aproximate 50 degree down angle to the target on planet. Throttle control is key as if you don't watch your speed you'll end up too fast and hit the Drop zone at 65 km/s and get kicked from OC with no glide 30km from your target. Using the direct approach method I have had about a 50% success rate for a complete approach, 25% having to adjust attitude due to high speed and overshot my target, and 25% careening into the planet because I didn't watch my speed and/or attitude. One might say this is less efficient due to its failure percentage...and you'd probably be right but when you pull off a perfect approach you feel like a badass.

  • @richard_d_bird

    I was trying to land a cobra and i dropped out of the sky. Lets just say I found out how far a cobra can jump when falling when it has its shields up. The answer to that is pretty go damn far. Boy oh boy, i'm happy i outfitted it with the best shield generator. I lost about close to half my hull strength after one all mighty bounce. First time using a cobra by the way with gravity.
