Trappist-1 Lava Spouts: An Elite|Dangerous Timelapse

Thought I'd throw another timelapse up here from a while back. Don't know if this site will still there in 3.0 so if it's not then this is it's final farewell. Here is a quick clip of the Smokey Basin Fumaroles.

I believe all the geological sites are likely to be changed or moved. They will be altering the basic algorithms for determining planetary composition, and fumarole locations and colours are extrapolated from those same algorithms.

FD have said that they will be moving the tourist beacons currently pointing at soon-to-disappear fumarole sites to new fumarole sites on those same planets.

Are you sure that will happen now? I haven't visited any of these in beta, but I think the current improvements are basically just lighting and textures. All the deeper modifications to terrain will come later.
I'm usually wrong about these things, though.

Awesome time-lapse video MadRaptor! Repped and Subbed! I thought the choice of music was very good too :rolleyes:

Could you provide the co-ordinates for the location please?

The nerd in me is incredibly impressed by the realistic particle effects of the smoke.
It really does look like smoke and not a bunch of fadey expanding transparencies blotted on together.

I love and adore these kinds of videos.
I'd never have enough time or patience to create something like this myself.

Haha, agreed. I have tons of ideas for timelapses but then I think of that fact and a lot of times I just go, nope, I'd rather be playing then recording, but then you get a place like this and a moment like this and you just know you have to stop and take it all in.

Coordinates are in the video description, I'll update the OP with them, though.

Some sites will change, thankfully the first time lapse video, the one taken in the Trappist-1 system was discovered in Beta so that one should still look the same way as it does in the video, however the last one, the Smokey Basin one, chances are it'll be moved or, hopefully, kept but turned into lava spouts or something.

I wish I had made a time lapse of this location now! Boeph QZ-E d12-461

It's people like OP or you, posting videos and pictures like this, that cause my exploration crave to build up.

I feel the urge to do some nice time-lapses now. :D

Smile - Yeah, it was seeing some gorgeous locations posted on the forums that prompted me to spend a Tenner on a second account during November's sale and use it for mooching around the galaxy looking for cool places to park up. This was one of my recent finds. [big grin] I have others from that Colonia trip with twin and triple Neutron / White Dwarf Stars etc but this was one of my favourites for its symmetry. I just didn't think of doing a time lapse of it! It's only a couple of days run out there from the bubble and only a short hop from Colonia, so I may go back and re-shoot it.

Makes me wonder at what temperature we see heat in the form of glowing molten rocks, and if in fact these would be warm – I would presume so, of course. It's interesting how well adapted we are to our local environment.

It's kind of chilly here.

Simply beautiful- all of them.
Susanna if there was a big ship in that picture it would be my pc desktop picture- love it!

From 600 deg C upwards.

Did it have volcanism....because that would have a been a beautiful sight.

Sadly, no it doesn't:

But the moon ABC 4a has Silicate Magma volcanism. 4a is 93.7 Ls out though... Compared to 42.9 Ls for ABC1 where this pic was taken. So twice the distance... [blah] I doubt you could make it look impressive with the stars being half their size in the 'sky'.
