Capital Ship Battle Video

- Here is the capital ship battle video used as part of the composer selection process for Elite: Dangerous. The video contains the music created for the pitch by the winning composer Erasmus Talbot.
The video also helped us develop other aspects of the game such as ship materials, GUI layout and special effects. Look out for David Braben's next dev diary where he will talk about why we created this video. We'll also follow up with a detailed art making of video to highlight how the artists benefitted from putting this video together.
You can can follow the latest developments for Elite: Dangerous on our website: elite.frontier.co.uk. - Hry
"Thank God! We have backup!"
**four sidewinders drop out of super cruise**
"Nevermind, we're gonna die..."
That's because you are not elite enough. I would have saved that battle cruiser in a Hauler!
@@Volgrand na type 9
Yeah that made me laugh lol
They're literally cannon fodder in reality these days.
Loolz
The boys have arrived
If four sidewinders show up to save me I'll just self destruct.
Sameeee
@@wittyjadee29 i would honestly just deploy a fighter to help them to help me
Lmao
Honestly same
Same
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..." -most real Elite quote ever
if i had a dollar every time i said that...
Do you mean buying the game? Because I just discovered its £120 for the "full" game and it took me 20 minutes to stop laughing and pull myself together.
I got everything for 28 euros kek
Dunno what you read or where, because the game + the Horizons pass was about £35-40 last I looked. Cheaper still in the steam sale when it was running.
Though, i actually /did/ spend £90 on it. But that was in the beta and included the lifetime pass.
don't have any form of steady income, make less than a dollar a day, payed full price when the game first came out, and preordered the expansion, thus paying the best $120 i've spent.
Wait... Did I just see four sidewinders in a high intensity combat zone lasting for over ten seconds?
I need to rethink life...
And that's why you are not an elite yet :P
Me in a vulture *9 seconds*
You haven't seen Archon Fury fly a Sidey.
Welcome to the world of marketing, where the people trying to sell it don't even know what the product is about.
Dude i suck in combat personally and die even with a combat ship, but a good fighter pilot could easily win a battle against op ships
preparing to fight imperials
"I bring friends"
expecting anacondas
3 sidewinders
how about a corvette?
👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣
Four actually
hey, don't underestimate a good pilot in a well-equipped Sidewinder!
@@wittyjadee29 3, considering one got destroyed by an imperial fighter not that long into the battle
to 4 bravest sidewinders in the galaxy
the legends...
make that 3
nope, 4
RE-L Mayer probably a rated
Enhanced thrusters lol
I attempted to reenact this with a sidewinder and got blown up instantly.
You were Sidey number one in the formation. He lasted 4 seconds.
Sidewinders fighting capitals in a high intensity combat zone, you guys are either mad, insane, or just have big balls of steel
or not caring about their credits
(that is if the sidewinders are not default)
Even if they're outfitted that's a tiny amount in insurance. Especially if you have millions.
Definitely not balls of steel.
or have hacks activated
I've seen people chase off fdls on engineered sideys. Its possible 4 could take down a capital ship. Enhanced performance thrusters at G5 dirty drag drive with rail guns and engineered hull reinforcements could do this.
You would need to fully take advantage of FA flying and every trick in the book to pull it off.
LOL Sidewinders attacking capital ships...that is really funny.
They're cobras, aren't they?
Anthony Harrison No, they are sidies.
***** Yip. Every so often I pick one up, meaning to keep it, but end up wanting to put the coin to something else. But I love the sidey so much, I named mine. Heh.
+Anthony Harrison
Well xwing attacking star destroyer is fun too :p
+RingoFreakingStarr You obviously have not been introduced to the Teethwinder...
*In Battle Video* None of the pilots get shot by capital ship.
*In Game* Get Close to capital ship... get shrekt m8
CMDR Tacki XT It's an imperial capital ship, they don't tartget fighters as much as a federal capital ship, which absolutely destroys fighters
i will admit that the capital ships are terribly underpowered, even in small ships like the Vulture its extremely easy to drive one off
Unless you know what you're doing chances are you won't make it from stern to bow of a capital ship without getting utterly shredded, ESPECIALLY in a Sidey
It's weird coming back to this concept video after playing for months. The instruments have all changed, the combat bond system has changed, the capital ship design has changed (slightly), the weapons systems have changed, the eagles profile has changed, pretty much everything has changed. It's better now, but we'll likely never have a mission like this.
I'd love to see this in game. Frontier, we need more interaction with the capital ships. I'm willing to wait until it's right, but it needs to happen.
+Robert Forde The game has been out for a year, what do you expect? All in good time.
I've still never seen a capital ship, even in a HEAVY conflict zone in a huge population system with two minor factions, one aligned with the Federation the other with the Empire, fighting. For interaction to happen we need more spontaneous world events like Lugh, where player actions can influence the outcome to a much higher degree.
+cannonfodder343 I've seen both of them in one combat zone, but they were ignoring each other and focusing on smaller targets. Sad
klarkolofsson three years later...
Yeah, I agree, some more "scripted" big dog fight sequences would be pretty epic........
"Dammit! Derek is hit!"
Yeah, he's just been blown to smithereens.
By an imperial SLF of all things... He's never gonna hear the end of it when he wakes up in his flash clone with those memories still fresh. XD
he brought a SIDEWINDER to a GUNFIGHT lol RIP Derek!
@@andrew123456ish Life comes at you fast when you go into high intensity CZs in a flying box of tissue paper
"I brought friends"
4 sidewinders
Everyone talking bout how the backup was sidewinders, yet no ones talking about how FIGHTERS were doing serious damage to a capital ship...
For all intents and purposes, that is the point of them - To harass and deliver pinpoint strikes. We're not given any indication of just how long those two capital ships were going at it. For all we know, they've been fighting for hours - if not days. If fighters were legitimately that powerful in the game then a vast majority (not all) of the player base would stop playing left and right.
@@ImperialGuardsman2 as it is, the player base IS dropping the game left and right. albeit for different reasons
@@ImperialGuardsman2 considering how they dropped console like a rock, that’s the only reason i need to drop the game like a rock unless i can port my save over to pc or they backtrack and suddenly decide to work on console elite again.
@@gipsydangeramericasmonster9632 6 months later they have opened a way to clone your console Cmdr to PC
It's true that capital ships are indestructible in gameplay, but don't underestimate SLFs; their firepower is equivalent to a class-4 hardpoint weapon.
And those 4 where the only ones to ever see this.
atleast 5, including me. I've seen a few capital ship battles in high intensity combat zones featuring federation and imperials. Also, this is a *cinematic* trailer.
Happens all the time by now, get to a civial war system where you find an imperial fighting a federal faction.
D... Did the Federation just..... win against the empire in a trailer!?
There's gotta be a catch, right?
I mean, Frontier isn't gonna show the canonically pro slavery faction winning a battle, right
@@ThisHandleIsRare Indentured servitude is still slavery. Plus many get trapped in it and then shipped off. Regardless of how slaves are treated in Imperial space it has made a market for slaves across the Bubble. Many slaves are smuggled out of Imperial space and then are treated horribly by other non-Imperial groups. It's simply too profitable to not happen, and as such slavery needs to stop in Imperial space to prevent that from happening.
to bad your friends will never drop in next to you like that...
That's entirely possible! Use "Nav lock" with a space bud, it'll drop you out right next to em when they drop, more or less.
Nick R. you gotta be kidding me, right?
nav lock doesnt work at the moment AT ALL! people drop Ls away, and if it works its in empty space.
It can definitely be a bit finnicky, no doubt. I've been putting it to good use with a friend lately, dropping into hazres sites and such. I've seen the auto drop engage from up to 162 ls away, so far, and it usually puts me around probably 250 meters from his ship. Not as close as the video, straddling the canopy over there, but pretty satisfyingly close.
Nick R. it used to work for me at first just fine, but after 2.0 i think it started getting wonky, with dropping in a ring(not a RES) for mining can be a real problem for navlock.
They drop to the place you dropped your navlock beacon, reapply and they'll be riiight next to you.
If you pay attention, Damocles' cannons actually glow red slightly then turn back to their iron coloration when engaging the Imperial Interceptor. Lovely attention to detail in this.
"I bring Friends"- 4 sidewinders show up.........."Really?!"
2019 here.
Would love to see an up to date one of these
2021 Here. Imagine a fleet carrier hotdropping on a conflict zone, with 10 commanders launching to help. THAT would be awesome.
@@thedoctor323
2022 here. Imagine gameplay content.
imagine a cqc mode that is like this. capital battle with sidewinders GU fighters and condors I could see that being a bit fun for a while
Whoooo! Well THIS is Elite I would like to play!
This is what I wish elite dangerous was
@@unpotatoedsalmon Idk what you're playing, but this is what elite dangerous is for me.
But fun and elite that's not a real thing
@@mechmastergaming6304 Bro you're not looking in the right places then. Get some friends together and jump into an conflict zone in open play ... EZ even better if its a community goal event
This is the Elite I hoped for! Sadly nothing of that yet
"I brought friends"
HahahahahAHAHAHAHA thats so FUCKING FUNNY. SO FUCKING FUNNY.
+Spaghetti wait let me reload they aren't in my instance!
and after reload you are in the empty space with nothing. and friends are still at other instance.
Strange comming back to these videos
Its amazing how far this game has come just from this video. Great job FD, game is simply amazing to play.
YES
The more i watch this the more i'm falling in love with this game guys... Something this good is a long time coming :D
Love it! Nice to see external shots of the action to good effect.
Nice. Like the music. Very exciting to see that fantastic jump motion, the missile trails, and the ability to look around in a fluid manner.
If only this had been the kickstarter video for Elite Dangerous when it launched! It would of raised double the pledges. This is the perfect video that would of guaranteed massive interest to this project. Hopefully when the alpha launches next month, funding will increase alot more. Here's to reaching £3 million before launch in March!
I understand that cool close flyghtroughs are trailer-taken liberty and I am fine with that. What I really miss in game we've got is the lack of comm chater and interactivity. I never got called for help by anyone, and any comms is almost by text only.
pretty neat. look forward to seeing more from you guys!
Awesome! If the in-cockpit view is a relatively accurate example of what will be in the end product, I'm *very* happy!
I just saw this video to day for the first time holy crap this game is going to be so awesome.
Six years on, and no combat scenarios of combat depth of anything approaching this at all. Indeed, combat scenarios and depth in some space games 25yrs ago were more involved than what we have six years into ED...
I remember seeing this video on its release. So much hope and expectation for the gameplay depth... Oh well...
please tell me where to go for a dogfight?
@@GB3770 Nothing like implied in their videos (or this one). CQC invested into the core game could have added something akin to dog fights with us able to holo-me into missions/tasks in fighters, for PvE or indeed even PvP for Powerplay... But nope...
Cracking video!
Enjoyed the music too - Looking forward to what the Erasmus does for a main theme!
I recently wrote an orchestral rearrangement of the old Frontier Elite 2 theme. I uploaded it here so find it via my profile, or do a search. It's on Soundcloud too.
But yeah, exciting times!
The battles in the game are absolutely great. Lasers flying left and right.
Still unattainable level. Everyone was waiting to be able to accept tasks in the same way and participate in something serious. Unfortunately, this will never come. 😢😥😓
Looks like someone's never been to a capital class distress call
Thank god those sidewinders showed up when they did. Who know what would have happened.
One of them would not have exploded. probably
Cant believe its been such a short time since we 'kickstarted' this and look where we are now! Started to get a wee bit excited!
Wow, Mr. Braben looks like he just stepped it up a notch. Looks awesome!!!
Holyshit i cant wait till this comes out
Really sad that this is literally impossible in game. Even sadder because mechanics like this are not hard to implement.
Amazing. I already watched it for ....I actually lost count.... Eagerly waiting for the alpha, beta and final game. I just can't wait!!! Just amazing. This clip took me back to the 80's when i used to imagine such scenes as i looked at a wire frame graphics filled screen on my BBC Model B. Give us more of these mouth watering clips!!!... and thank you!!!
I like the laser effects on some of those strafing attacks. Very cool to see them cut into the hull like that. Got to check this game out.
Ok, so uh... from the future here. FDev when do we get that epic UI and also when do we get to do battles more like this?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but was that a freakin' intergalactic jump in the beginning?!
Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but it's still not as awesome as this clip from 3 years ago...
I think it might have been a nebula, doesn't look like the milky way.
It’s more likely a nebula, not a galaxy
Greetings, it's been 7 years and it's still not even remotely close to this video.
it's good to see they have kept some of the head up display from the 90's
Holy crap is this looking better than I thought :O
Kudos!
Lasers that fire continuous beams! Finally someone got it right!
If only elite dangerous combat was really this good
Looks simply AWESOME
This is looking great and I'm glad to see the appearance of the directional thrusters around the edges of the ships, which makes it look a lot less like air combat moved into space. Still not sure about the atmospheric effects on the explosions and missile trails though. I wish I'd been able to justify to cost of contributing to the kickstarter but I might just start saving up for this now! I'm not normally big fan of in-game music, but this sounds pretty good too. Excellent job guys!
If only Elite was actually like this.
Four Sidewinders? What is this, the Iron Pringle Squadron?
That hyperspace jump sequence was incredible!
Simply great, and seems they have quite a few views already.
I dunno What to say!
This is awesome! This is exactly what i've always imagined. Thank you very much! As already said: i am so glad i've backed up commander jameson :D
I like the game. But this video is so fake it hurts.
+Ermy Looks hella cool though. Taken as shorts and not as indications of gameplay, all these trailers are super cool, and feel kinda like the stories you make up in your head sometimes. Pretty cool in their own right.
+pizza4554 yes, but are totally fake. the game has supercool things. why not use them?
+Ermy Well, in this video specifically, the game wasn't even done yet.Trailers like this are sort of expected to not really indicate gameplay, and Frontier puts up lots of videos of gameplay, too. These trailers have their place, and there's lots of gameplay footage if that's what you're looking for.
This was a pre-pre-alpha cinematic trailer. Of course it doesn't look like the game does now.
this video was made before the release, they had no idea it's not this epic :/
looking good. lets hope it plays as good as it looks
this looks incredible
I can't wait for this... I too am holding my breath because it's been such a LONG time with many mishaps here and there. Saying that however, the X games were a worthy replacement while Elite was aimlessly roaming the abyss. The X games WERE good but, Elite was always something a bit more special... Given the fact that it was the progenitor for all such games ever since. Let us pray it's going to be something really special once more!
Sorry, but the X series were never even remotely close to a worthy replacement for Elite, since they have no proper realistic galaxy nor seamless atmospheric flight nor landing on planets also they had a focus on empire building and fleet management instead.
Wormhole ThirtyTwoHundred Well... We're both in agreement that Elite was far superior but, personally, I enjoyed the X Games... Well... X3 Reunion anyway (I never played earlier games and Terran Conflict won't run on my VERY old machine!). I guess the empire building element in the X Games is what made it fun (if empire building was your thing!), but you're right! Elite is by and large a far superior game on many fronts and I hear that the new X Game is now basing itself very much on the Elite model of the player just controlling one main ship.
"Yahoo! You're all clear, Damocles! Now let's blow this thing and go home!"
Wow that looks real good. Love the hyperspace or whatever they call it ... Wicked sense of speed and scale in there.
When the music cut before the "Fire all tubes." order. Perfection!
and nothing in the game is anything like this
than you probably never played it m8
Actually if conflict zones have lots of stuff going on a capital ship will come
theres capital ships and stuff, but not nearly as good as this. They just sit there shooting as stuff, they don't move, and theres no damage effects on them. You take out their heat relays and they leave. woo.
You may have problems with understanding that this is a CINEMATIC VIDEO.
It's still really fun, when they warp in and out it makes the god damn coolest sound on earth I swear.
Well, there's still a Kickstarter going, for the audio book projects from Fantastic Books - www.kickstarter.com/projects/fantasticbooks/official-elite-fiction-release-in-audio-and-print?ref=live
A Sidewinder, in the right hands, is worth a dozen Anacondas.
i wished jumping in this game would look that smooth and visual stunning like in this video.
this trailer is 8 years old and the game looks worse than the pov shots still
wtf, it definitely looks better :D The only thing that maybe looks better here are maybe some reflections.
So, should I go for this, star citizen, or my current must have game, no mans sky. Any input to sway my decision would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know much about Elite Dangerous but from what ive seen from most videos, they are often just in ships and they don't go into planets but into space stations.
As for Star Citizen, you can step out of your ship, go to planets, walk around your ship and many more. too many to list in one sitting.
I don't intend to bash Elite Dangerous, I have only seen like 6-8 videos of it and I'm still not sure what it offers in the future. As for no man's sky, I have no total interest on it since it bashed Star Citizen.
SC will release a year after ED
Francois Yalung Elite will have first person elements identical to Star Citizen, though it'll come in expansions, rather than being there on release. ED is going to release this year though, if things go as planned.
After following both games for a while, i have come to these conclusions:
Star Citizen:
+Ship Design
+Sci-fi skyboxes
+Star wars style combat
+All content on release
-At least a year until release
+limited universe so stuff is condensed for more action
Elite Dangerous:
+Sound Design
+Realistic skyboxes (still awesome though)
+more realistic combat, also feels awesome
-some content (eg. going into planets and walking out of ships) to come in expansions
+release possibly this year
+Whole galaxy simulated so greater free roam (still big battles though organised by the devs)
Alex J ED will be in beta in 30 days SC is not even in Alpha state i think 2-3 years is a better choice.
Simply stunning. I cant wait to see this game engine running on my machine.
When Stuart says finishing touches, there were three things added. The lense flare near the beginning, the focus effect when the camera zooms out at 1:35 and the holographic HUD (which I hear they have working now and it looks even better).
nothing against E:D but the game shown in this video looks *way* cooler.
Almost 6 years later.
And still no legs!!
Maybe I'll wait 6 more.
That looks absolutely stunning, I only have one thing that stood out, the huge explosions needs to be slower, those are explosions the size of huge buildings.
Except for that, absolutely brilliant.
THIS LOOKS AMAZING
why does it have to be a competition between start citizen and elite? why cant you all get along like the developers of each game. If either game looks interesting to you then you should support the genre as a whole...don't make it a CoD vs. Battlefield dispute
So true, despite being space sims both game are very different and both will do or have something than the other will not. So instead of trying to decide the "best one" (even when both game did not even launched), people start chose the one than has the features they want (or wait and play both and chose the best one for them)?
Using the analogy you brought of COD and BF, both are FPS but this don't make them the same. Chose the best one for you have fun instead of lose time with stupid fanboys wars on the internet with people we don't even know.
For me it's a combo Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Limit Theory and No Man's Sky. if one of than suck I have the other as backup. Also Elite is out in March 2014 and Star Citizen just in early 2015, there is plenty of time for people play Elite before Star Citizen.
Because on the internet the rule is. ''You Must Only Like one''
Sounds
in
Space
:(
2:08, Avengers theme
With such knowledge of science you should surely work for NASA or something.
Why don't they let players DO A "BARREL ROLL" while they're at it?
Turn off your speakers.
It's simulated sound.
Space is not a total vacuum.
Having just recently discovered OOlite, The idea of a Elite: Dangerous makes me all tingly
Between this and Robert's Star Citizens I think this genre is about to make a comeback. Bigtime.
I love how the ship effects are when you jump to a new system...Very realistic..
Can't wait for this..
Ok so I am playing the Gamma right now, and assuming there will not be a huge feature patch between gamma and official release, this is either the "coolest most boring game ever" or "most boring cool game ever".
The scope of the galaxy is obviously mindblowing, the galaxy mechanics are great (Frameshift/Supercruise/interdiction), the visuals etc. are good. But what is a sandbox worth if its only filled with sand ? What is the motivation to grind credits for an expensive ship, if the only benefit it gives you is more grind. And it is so dull, I am not even talking WoW kind of dull, where you have at least a questline. Not even. It's just fetch/kill quests or "missions" or trading, wich is basicly fetching without a quest. The multiplayer aspect is just not there besides the fact that you can see the other person, and move in the same space. There are no cooperative missions or activities. Absoluteley no incentives to comunicate with other players. Don't get me wrong, I am huge spacesim fan, and an ED fan in particular, I would not have backed the game or post comments about it otherwise. I just dont understand how most people are completley cool with this game. I mean it would be ok in alpha but no way this is acceptable as a finished product. (Public release) And besides how is this not supposed to be boring? Or am I missing like 70% of the whole game?
Pretty much all the selling points, other than the massive galaxy, are a fabrication at this point in time. It's sad that even at their preview event they seem to be trying to hoodwink people into believing that group content exists.
i hope this game wont flop :/
I watched some different "let's plays" of this game and I totally agree. You have this HUUUUGE space but pretty much nothing to do. You get a mission where you basically have to fly somewhere whcih can take a ridiculous amount of time just flying in a straight line and when you get there there may be a rather boring fight.
Hitchslapped think eve. It's going to be getting more content as it goes
Cr1mSoNOuTLaW Calling this a release-version is still ridiculous. It's just not a finished game unless you enjoy doing the same few things over and over again.
tried the practice missions and this game is really hard xD
***** The game is great and is getting better every month. Its frustrating at times but that just makes it more impressive when you get somewhere. Who wants an easy game? But the practice missions are more difficult that the game itself - some of them are impossible to do it seems like the stealth mission unless you forget the stealth. But the game is still being balanced and developed. This will be the space game to play for many a year if it is even half as good as the previous Elite games when released (and its far better than any of them already IMO).
***** Didnt you own any of the earlier games? They were even more difficult. In those games you didnt stand a chance if you were jumped my more than one pirate. If you are having issues with the game what are they?
*****
The game is not for you then.
Hard?
***** You're right. And that's why ED gives the player worthwhile rewards for difficult tasks.
If that represent the half way, i imagine epic elite to re-appear. Great impressions!
That, was absolutely amazing
Tell me lies. Tell me sweet little lies....
There will be revenge! For the Empire!
AaroS Your manners are outrageous and dirty, just as everything about the Federation!
It's looking great! I can't friggin' wait :-)
Guys do you think there will be any colour-blind options, like being able to change cursor and enemy colours for the on-screen icons?
Wish this actually happens :P
***** Capital Ships don't fly around the galaxy there deployed to specific operations so you'd be in port most of the time and you wouldn't be in charge of your deployment etc.
***** No the biggest ships you can control are around corvette size aka anaconda etc.
***** well one of the philosophys of elite dangerous is: leave anybody a chance.
i dont see where a fucking capital ship in starter area intercepting freschly spawned sidewinders for: "the shits and giggles" is much of a chance.
sidewinder vs cobra, nimble sidy outturns it and can jump into the next systhem or just engage FSD.
you always have a chance at the moment, not a fighting one but at least a running one, on top of that i dont see how 5* 24missileports and over 20+ highcaliber gunturrets aiming at you whilst you fly out of a station is much of a chance.
We need Autocannons in Elite: Dangerous!
yes!
You can actually get Autocannons as an Engineer mod. They're literally auto-loading Cannons.
that is not what an autocannon is. Autocannons are cannons that fire in full auto. The multicannons are different because technically they are revolving cannons. Autocannons have a single barrel.
Ross Hornby Isn't Funny Thanks god, someone that understands me.
Omg.. I just keep re-playing this... watched it about 20 times so far.. showed it to some nay saying mates of mine.. now they are off to purchase it from the official website! ! Converts! Love it!! Please more more more :)
Damn! This is looking really good.
Star Citizen has cooler ships but Elite has a cooler HUD (compared to stuff they've shown if you look for it. Frankly I think Elite will have a cooler one either way. Too bad you're flying space envelopes)
Ehh this HUD looks meh to me, and I believe RSI has hired one of the people that created the HUD for the Iron man movies to do the HUD for Star Citizen. So if he gets anything close to the detail of the HUD in those movies in game, I doubt this games HUD will be even comparable. Just my opinion though.
have you seen all the released ship concept art for elite ?
soulshot96
Did you see the Hornet HUD? It was a complete mess, you could barely see anything outside the ship.
Star Citizen is also insanely overpriced.
S S How? When it comes out it will be the SAME price as any other AAA title and right now you can buy the game for $30. Cheap much?
Well, i would love to see my NCC-1701-D fighting one of these !
didn't that crash?
megatiger78 Hell nah !
+Jean Luc Picard Wouldn't do too well, I imagine.
Thank you for the explanation, well it simply looks amazing!!!
Hell of a show, you better make this thing play just as good.
I really hate these "star wars vibes". I hope Erasmus will be capable of doing something more authentic and original for the rest of the soundtrack, Elite Dangerous deserves more.
Hahaha... if only.... even 5 years later this is billy bollox
There will be direct sounds (that what can be heard in properly pressurised ship), and there will be sensor synth who will translate into sound what's happening outside the ship. You can lookup more information in last Newsletter #12. They will do detailed announcement soon.
this looks fantastic!
