In the latest video, Ricardo discusses the significant changes to suit capacity in Elite Dangerous with the Type 8 update (18.8), which many players may not be fully aware of. While the focus has largely been on ship modifications and engineering rebalances, the alterations in suit capacity are crucial for players, especially those engaged in the Odyssey expansion. The video highlights the importance of understanding how these changes can impact gameplay, particularly in terms of inventory management and resource collection.
Ricardo begins by examining the Maverick suit, a popular choice among players. He explains the standard configurations before the Type 8 update, where the basic suit had a goods capacity of 30 and a data capacity of 10. He contrasts this with his upgraded grade five Maverick suit, which has enhanced backpack capacity, allowing for increased storage of goods and assets. This comparison sets the stage for understanding the implications of the upcoming changes.
The video then transitions to the post-update suit configurations, showcasing the improvements made to suit capacities. After the Type 8 update, the Maverick suit’s goods capacity increases significantly to 60, while the asset capacity rises to 40, and data capacity remains unchanged at 20. Ricardo notes that these changes make it easier for players to gather resources and loot from settlements without the need for extensive engineering modifications.
Ricardo also discusses the adjustments made to other suits, such as the Artam Muit and Dominator suits. The Artam Muit sees its goods capacity double from 10 to 20, and asset capacity from 20 to 40, while the Dominator suit’s goods and asset capacities also see increases. However, the data capacity for these suits remains the same. These enhancements indicate a broader trend toward improving player efficiency during exploration and combat scenarios.
In conclusion, Ricardo expresses his thoughts on the changes, suggesting that while increased storage capacity is beneficial, there is still room for improvement in overall storage solutions within the game. He invites viewers to share their opinions on the updates and what they feel could be further enhanced. The video serves as an informative guide for players looking to adapt to the new suit capacities introduced in the Type 8 update.
