The Top 10 Most Amazing, Stunning and Beautiful Sights you MUST See (Video)

[MattG]

Enjoyed the video.

Add SPOIHAAE XE-X D2-9 A 1 to your next list - the World of Death.

It's appropriately named - sell your data in Colonia first (it's only ~600LY away). But if you manage to get down on the surface, watching the white dwarf parent rise and sail overhead is amazing. Still one of my favourite things I've visited in the game.


There's also IC 1396 SECTOR RU-F D11-7 5 a, which is an Earth-Like world that's a moon of a Gas Giant, and that also has it's own moon. Landing on the moon gives some fantastic views of the parent ELW

First of all, I respect the work you've put into the video and the locations are cool!

Man, I should have known better than to have shared my work with this forum

Yes, the thread title is somewhat hyperbolic, but the sights themselves and the video are nice.

If you're wondering why this thread developed the way it did, I think you need look no further than the title of the thread. (and the video)

I get that this is a consequence of the landscape of Youtube, where absolute titles like this work to attract the most possible views. But I can also see it ticking people off in a community of explorers, where many other players have dedicated significant time to find and share awesome locations, see the Galactic Mapping project as one example. In this context, the absoluteness of the title devalues the work put in by others in the community.

I'll only speak for myself, but when I find a video on youtube that claims with absolute certainty to have the "top X things" I immediately have an internal skeptic response to it. The video then has to be enticing enough in some other way for me to overcome that skepticism and click it anyway.

Adding a simple qualifier like "My Top 10 list of most amazing, stunning ..." would already have done much to prevent that internal response, but might not work as well to attract views overall.

If only this forum had a block function maybe it could be useful so you could more easily ignore people like this.

It does have an ignore function, and has done since the original vBulletin days.

I'd agree with all of that entirely. Telling people these are the things that I tell you are the best and you must see/do them, immediately creates a very polarising response in people. Especially if you put MUST in capital letters. Some people don't mind it, for me personally that means I won't watch the video or read the article. Partly because that has become so synonymous with click-bait articles, but also because I personally don't like being told what I should/should not like.

I would say for a start that I think Sacaqawea Space Port blows Mic Turner out of the water in terms of views. Though not in terms of Lore.

If you watch the vid I started at the wide right hand edge of the nearest ridge. Got about halfway along and then drifted off course, managed to bounce off the middle ridge and land on the third one. Kept going for a while, didn't make it to the end tho so that challenge is still there if anyone wants to pick it up again!

That is some first rate improv!

What a place.

i was close to scrolling through my posts here to find that ELW again (assuming it's that one with a tourist beacon)... the view is so rare. got me looking up pictures of earth taken from moon to compare.

Cmdr Exigeous, first of all, great vid, as I also commented on your YT channel and subscribed...

But honestly, I don't think it was necessary to get salty so quickly... You just take a deep breath, look for the positives and react to those. All the negatives, give a benefit of doubt: could be a misunderstanding, language and cultural difference etc...

Last, but not least: you are a pirate. You are stealing from peaceful players who did not give a direct consent to be pirated by you, you are enforcing something onto them. Just to be clear, here is your own definition: "Gentlemen Pirate is someone who enjoys the role playing aspects, who doesn't shoot first, attempts to not shoot at all and simply wants to steal a reasonable amount of cargo." You have every right to play the game as you wish and me personally, I was never salty, even when I got ganked. Last time I wanted a revenge with a ganker and ended up getting stupidly killed by station gimbals and we had a good laugh about it, cause Im not a PvP player and my attempt was rather silly and funny...

Same goes here - you do not need to give direct consent to people to give you their opinion, yet they have the right to do so. If you don't like it, be the gentleman, don't be salty and don't complain about "toxicity", because that just looks weak and wimpy... And I thought you were a pirate and a gentleman...

EDIT: correction and added one smiley...

Which content creator doesn't want a (toxic/salty) discussion about his content!?

Well done
