Community Event / Creation Silent Running - A Short video of the last moments adrift...

Fractux · Mar 16, 2015

I made this short (a very short, rather) while starting to learn Lightworks, and I thought I'd share it here.

The feeling was brought on in game by drifting with FA off and all modules disabled. Just letting the cabin temperature plunge, and imagining that feeling...

Cheers!

Sad little side story. I needed to travel around 80 ly in my shiny new vulture today. I had to refuel a few times on the way. But then, as I was chatting on FB while flying, I jumped to the next system without refueling. Of course the system was uninhabited. So I just lay adrift and died like that, there.

Thanks for reminding me.

That was the feeling it was supposed to evoke, but I do apologize for getting you down by reminding you of the mishap. I'd still very much like to see distress beacons in ED.

To be honest, after I went over the initial "rage", I thought it was kinda cool. I wish the ED universe was much more dangerous.

I've found it can be, but only if you put yourself in a situation where you are the underdog. Flying an under shielded ship or only using rails and cannons, these are all fun challenges I enjoy.

Before the game release, the incursion combat demo was so much fun because of the challenge it provided. It feels like 1.2 is starting to bring that into the game to some degree.
