Scott Manley's alpha quick review

Scott has a great channel. You can tell he really loves this stuff (space games).

He seemed genuinely impressed by the Alpha, and that's a great sign.

It is going to be a horrendous wait for the second beta.

Great. I had a feeling he would be posting videos about Elite:D, if not I would have tried to make him aware of E:D before launch. :)

Yeah I wasn't sure originallly about Alpha access because of the price, but then it became clear that it was my duty to cover this :)

I am so glad that the only annoying bug I've found is the dubious AI and the uncorrectable rolls when you disable flight computers.

I can correct the roll when flight assist is off...sounds to me like you need training. ;)
Make sure that you disable "yaw into roll" in the setting and set it to only roll instead. This helps a lot when disabling the flight assist.

The dubious AI that always falls for the "flying backwards" strategy is however something they need to look at.

Thanks for doing the video though! :)

This sounds more like "yaw into roll" should have two separate settings, one for flight assist on, one for flight assist off.

I think the alpha currently does only show the weaker AI opponents, and much better NPC pilots will easily see through that tactic.

P.S.: What will be Manley mode in ED then? Manual docking with flight assist off? Suicide burn landings on high-g planets? Destroying a battleship only by ramming it (and surviving?).:D
