[VIDEO] The Wonders of Mcarthur's Reach.

Cosmos · Aug 2, 2014

I'd like to share this with the community. I got lost somewhere and ended up some place really cool. I was awestruck by what I found.

Captured some real time eclipse.. Just don't ask what happens if you get in the way of the planet.

What I'd give for some camera views to help make movies.

Hope you enjoy..

You can actually Supercruise in orbit alongside Puna if you're feeling adventurous.

Sounds like a plan!

This is what I want to see in threads for the beta. We have 50+ star systems, and the players are just trying to grind money instead of going out and bringing us the beauty and oddities of the universe.

More videos and screenshots from exploration plz!!

Regarding puna now. It seems to be too fast in orbit, I wonder what the specifics are.

Yeah I tried a long distance mission to Ross 1051.. You get an awesome view of the cosmos from a place near there

Here is a pic from around Mcarthur's Reach. Can see it in high def if you click on the picture.

but let me understand well.... that Mcarthur's Reach is a spacestation that orbits around the sun ?

If the answer is 'yes' it would be the first time in the Elite history...

I think it orbits Puna, which in turn orbits the star, but yeah its pretty damn close.

Not sure if this was a bug or it's part of the station design:

Nice vid indeed, I bet puna is where all the old people go to retire, like they do in florida on earth, on puna you can get a full tan in one tenth of a second.

Well like Florida they'd probably need some air conditioning too
