Radio Stations

[Tyberius Lambert]

So when flying around I sometimes get a bit bored when flying somewhere because its quite a way away and I'm going as fast as I can go.

Then I remembered Fallout; when walking around for ages you can just switch on a radio, listen to some music or the news and have a bit more of an enjoyable journey.

This in Elite: Dangerous could work out really well! All the different factions can have their own news casts (admittedly there would need to be new ones recorded a lot), music may be a bit of an issue (some modern stuff would not really fit in).

OK...it may not the easiest to implement idea.

But my main reason for wanting to share my idea was for missions becoming available while in space. When in certain systems, one of the news casts might mention a galactic battle kicking off in whatever system around whatever planet.
And then boom, it's there, in your mission log waiting to be accepted and locked on. Imagine whole communities of players fighting against armies (or other players) in space, people you've never met joining your wing so you can work towards the goal! This in my opinion would be truly epic.

And the other idea I had was for the ability to intercept a pirate or criminals communications maybe? So there's a faint crackle on the radio (maybe you can manually tune to get a better signal) you hear a system name, you hear the words "steal cargo", again it appears in the mission log. You jump to the location and take out the criminals and save the day, or maybe let them do their business and perhaps steal the fruits of their labor afterwards.

Anyway, just some ideas I had after a little bit of playing. I'm sure I'll have a much faster ship soon and may not even have slow flying speeds anymore.

It doesn't look like it's working properly.

Is just basically just an Elite: Dangerous themed radio station?

If so, AWESOME!!!

And then, when the license to the music runs out, it needs to be removed from your PC.

Just like they did with GTA - San Andreas.

And see, they even learned: the contracts they made for Vice City allowed for at least the already purchased versions to stay untouched. Music industry didn't make that mistake again, as you can see with SA. Probably next time even the game the music came with has to be removed.

I also listen to Lave Radio instead.

Nice Thanks for the links!

 

[Engadine]

No worries.

Some of the adverts they've got on Radio Sidewinder are excellent

A really good station in my opinion, might not be to every ones taste, but I think the whole thing is very well put together.

 

[Whispering Dave]

Yup. Radio Sidewinder is very good. I play it through the VLC player using this address:

http://streaming.radionomy.com/Radio-Sidewinder

Run VLC.
Select the 'Media' menu then 'Open Network Stream'.
Copy/paste the above address into it and click play.
Save it as a playlist and then copy a shortcut to your desktop.

Free VLC media player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.en_GB.html

+1 for Radio Sidewinder. An awesome accompaniment to my exploration adventures.

 

[R Wilco]

SoundCloud has some great music groups, such as this one: https://soundcloud.com/groups/frontier-and-elite-inspired-music
(I believe the above link is also one of the groups broadcast on Lave Radio).

Cheers!

Do they play, "If you Leesti me now" by Chicago? Or ""What's Lave got to do with it" by Tina Turner?

The Elite version of Night fever by the Bee Gees.
Flight Fever"


Listen to that sound:
there is movement all around.
There is something goin' down
and I can feel it.


On the waves of the air,
there is dancin' out there.
If it's somethin' we can share,
we can steal it.


And that sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
yeah, and the feelin' is bright,


then I get flight fever, flight fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that flight fever, flight fever.
We know how to do it.


Here I am,
prayin' for this moment to last,
livin' on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
makin' it mine.


flight fever, flight fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that flight fever, flight fever.
We know how to show it.


In the rush to our lave,
don't need no help for us to make it.
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'.
I got fire in my mind.
I got higher in my walkin'.
And I'm glowin' in the dark;
I give you warnin'.


And that sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
yeah, and the feelin' is bright,


then I get flight fever, flight fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that flight fever, flight fever.
We know how to do it.


Here I am,
prayin' for this moment to last,
livin' on the music so fine,

makin' it mine.


flight fever, flight fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that flight fever, flight fever.
We know how to do it.

I think FDEV should, if not already done so, think about implementing some radio stations around the universe.

Maybe they could get some help from the community to record some narratives. We need to have more connection to the world around us, and that could be an excellent way to do it.
