Anybody else having problems recording videos of your gameplay? I did a few videos last night, nothing special, just of me blowing up some ships in the tutorials. I watched them on my xbox fine but they are not showing up in my activity feed and when I go on the smartglass app they're not there either? I know other videos are working fine as I did a quick video of me playing the 360 version of Geometry Wars last night and that shows up...
I haven't really checked to be honest as I do all of my recording through my Elgato. I can have a check tonight to see if I'm having the same issue. To be fair it's quite refreshing not getting it popping up every thirty seconds and breaking the immersion, I'm hoping the partnership with Steam VR will go a long way to fixing this issue
Tip of the Day - Don't tap B when on landing pad approach in coreolus stations, it activates afterburners and slams you into the opposite wall. If you don't explode then you will incur a 400 credit penalty

You may find that the developer hasn't enabled video sharing. It happens with a lot of titles that we get here for pre-release at pX. We can save videos and screenshots, but can't actually share them anywhere or see them in the activity feed until the dev has "flipped the switch" so to speak. Same happens with achievements sometimes, and Twitch streaming, too...
@DesignateTurian I've got an Elgato too but since getting the One I can't be bothered with it... too much faffing about and the 5 minute limit isn't really a problem for me.
@SuperKMx That sounds like the most likely reason now you mention it as my achievement isn't showing up on my feed either although I can see it in the achievement part of the smartglass app. Real shame as I wanted to show the game off to a mate in work. Might see if it will let me edit and upload them to my Onedrive tonight...
I am putting together an informal pX corporation to be operated from this forum. Pilots, let me hear you! This allows us to help each other out in firefights and put together events such as long distance road trips - who wants to see a black hole or a multi-star system, pulsars, neutron stars? - if you are interested then give me a shout
Tip of the day - Smuggling: a very lucrative trade where the rewards can equal significant kill order missions.
Illicit cargo risks fines and penalties but you can avoid this be literally being a cold pilot. Shut down all systems except Thrusters and Sensors and activate Silent Running. Engines full ahead forward and run straight to the entry hatch. Once through power down thursters, turn off silent running and dock as normal. This process is reversed for moving illicit cargo out of a station. I do this process at least once during this stream with a Black Box mission.
This is the first time I've played Elite since it was out on the Commodore 64... I have to say the tutorial missions are absolute pants with regards actually teaching you how to do anything. I tried looking at one of the youtube videos they link to but that didn't help much either as they assume you are using a PC so the controls are never explained. It took a lot of trial and error to discover just how to move correctly as seemingly the sticks have dual purposes if you depress them...
No idea how to activate silent running... I'm still getting to grips with just flying around in space and shooting stuff
I did get to the bottom of the recording issue though. Ken was right - video uploads are blocked... but you can get around it by uploading them to your OneDrive
@stylon I agree, I spawned into the first tutorial mission at 01:30 am on Tuesday and pushed the left analogue stick forward...nothing happened. I had vetical and lateral translation thrusters on the right analogue stick but no forward thrusters. Eventually discovered, after much trial and error, that the RB and LB were mapped to this action. Yet trying to condense a keyboard of buttons to a smaller gamepad is a massive feat so it's bound to feel awkward for the first few hours.
In addition you have to get your head around the UI which takes some getting used to (I still haven't worked out how to access the upper left comms panel). Can you post some of your videos on this thread, I'm always looking for new things to watch
Tip of the Day: When you can, pick up multi-cannons in turret mode. It's kind of a cheaty way of playing but if you haven't got your head around the combat system then it does help A LOT. Just be aware that weapons can have up to 3 modes of fire:
1. Front Facing (fixed ahead, like modern gunsights) - All weapon types
2. Target Only- (track single hostile target, only fires when you pull the trigger) Gimballed and turrets
3. Fire at will (can track multiple targets) - Turrets only
Don't be a fool like I was last night and spend 160,000 credits on turreted multicannons and try to use them in front facing mode against a Sidewinder; it's like trying to hit a needle head with a blunderbuss. Instead switch to either Targeted or Fire-At-Will in the functions menu of the right hand UI. For larger targets like Anacondas front facing is an acceptable method of firing.
Remember that multicannons are good but lasers are better at taking down target shields.
Anyone else struggling with the controls? Get into hyperdrive then won't disengage so can't dock, just fly past the target. Think it's time for a Titan one to be fitted!
Hmm, not encountered that issue yet. At any point does it say "Slow Down" on the screen? To drop out of supercruise you need to be <1.00Mm from the target and travelling less than <1.00km/sec otherwise you end up overshooting and have to come back around. If you have the space station selected as a target (Navigation panel, left side) then two bars should appear underneath the holographic representation of the station bottom left of centre screen. The blue sections are the ideal distance and speed for dropping out of supercruise.
One bug I have noticed is that even if I'm within the blue sector of the throttle (bar right of the radar) I am going too fast to intercept the target. I overshoot and come back around, sometimes this happens twice on the same targer. Very frustrating.
@sorethumbed Ah, so if that's the case then I'm assuming if you hit A+^ on approach it will say "Warning, press twice for emergency dropout". Give me a few minutes and I will put an image up showing what to do!
At least I would if it would save to my One Drive...may be a knock on from last nights outage. Keep an eye on this thread and I will update ASAP
Sorry for not posting this sooner, I've been getting my space trucking on. Specifically in a community event. If you head over to Smoot Station in Chona, pick up Robotics. Travel to Humason Orbital, Carns and sign up for the community event on the bulletin board. Dump your cargo and repeat! We get big bonus' from completing community goals so joining in is really great way to get to know the universe and make some sweet space bucks doing so.
