Great images, love the one where your cockpit is all cracked, smoke coming out of the consoles and you are about to blow up, I will have to look for a video showing that.
 
First pic from the OP without the fraps fps counter and alpha text... (makes a nice wallpaper I think)... 1920x1080

Only able to watch streams but it looks fantastic.

Put major Damage control and let us fight like WWIII U-boats to bring our ships back from the brink. I see you can switch systems off to go into stealth mode – Fantastic who would not like too hide from a group or team in an asteroid belt etc.

This is just the one ship, wow. This is especially exciting for me as I played and loved the original on the BBC. It’s the only version I ever played. Back in the 80’s we dreamed on multiplayer never mind all this extra stuff.


Happy bunny!!!!!
 
Thanks for sharing. I really like the idea that when you turn your head left or right, some menu appears and you can directly interact with it. Such a well thought feature! :smilie:
 
This is looking really good so far, visually it's quite impressive. the lens flare on some objects doesn't seem at all intrusive (which was a worry of mine). Also, the in cockpit screens look useful, not just clutter like a certain recently released game.

Thanks for posting these shots :)

So you say it's been quite stable? That's impressive.

PS: That a bobblehead on the dashboard isn't it? Awesome little detail! It's touches like that that make a game live.

Yes, the alpha is very stable. I even left it running a few hours while I slept to see if it would crash out. Still on, no problems yet. Off to work now though, so will test it more later tonight. Hehe, yes, it's a bobblehead thingy. Elite has certainly came to life in Elite: Dangerous. An amazing sequel that I hope we can all build on and make it the best.

Shok.

I know, I love that feature also, and it's so useful for seeing which direction a ship that overshot you is heading. Will be things like this that give an edge in pvp and hard pve moments I feel.

Shok.
 
As you wish, video (not mine) and some pics updated.

Shok.

haha thanks!

Does anyone out there have any good screen grabs of the Cobra ?

Was surprised to see it in one of the scenarios on youtube ....its the ship we're all waiting to see the finished version of right!? :)

(unless its already been shown somewhere and I missed it...)

EDIT: Just saw a full pic of it was released in peek of the week :D

Added a picture of the Cobra mkIII during one of the missions. A nice flyby of a tough ship. ;)

Shok.
 
Have a look at the latest video on my site.

I fight a Cobra at the end and die by crashing into it, so you get a good view!

Haha, thanks for sharing the cool video, nice site too. I noticed other game videos on there. I still play oolite, heavily added addons to it and some tweeks. :)

My Fer-de-Lance, I hope this ship makes it to E: D.
Shok.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I have never posted videos to YouTube before so this is a learning experience for me!

Once I feel that I am good enough at the game I will post some more footage up and experiment with some voiceover.
 
Any chance any of you alpha guys can post a couple of ingme screenshots of the Cobra and the Anacondo ships, would love to see them up-close-and-personal, so we can all see the hull textures better, and post them at a higher resolution of 1080dp or more.

Of course, added some pictures of me flying by one of the Anacondas.
