In the video, Ricardo discusses the colonization glitches in Elite Dangerous, highlighting issues such as improperly placed installations and docking problems at outposts like German City and Michael’s City. While expressing frustration over these bugs, he remains optimistic that the developers will address them and encourages viewers to experience the bizarre occurrences themselves.
In the video, Ricardo discusses the ongoing issues related to system colonization in the game Elite Dangerous, highlighting some significant glitches that players are encountering. He introduces the system architect known as Little Man Smokey, who is a regular on Ricardo’s streams. The video showcases a peculiar situation where installations are improperly placed, notably a four-truss Coralis structure that is clipping through the environment and located dangerously close to a star.
As Ricardo explores the area, he attempts to access different outposts, particularly German City and Michael’s City. He notes the strange phenomenon of Michael’s City being spawned inside the Coralis structure, which he describes as bizarre and likely to be addressed by the developers at Frontier. Despite the humorous nature of the glitches, Ricardo emphasizes that they are indicative of the challenges faced during the beta phase of the game.
While navigating through the docking port of the stations, Ricardo experiences docking denials, which suggests that the outpost may be inaccessible to players. He explains the risks involved in attempting to land, as colliding with parts of the station could lead to severe penalties in the game, including being sent to a penitentiary ship. This adds an element of tension to his exploration, as he maneuvers carefully to avoid any mishaps.
Ricardo continues to highlight the various components of the installations, such as solar panels and active docking bays, while expressing his frustration at being unable to dock with Michael’s City. He shares that other players have reported the possibility of landing on the outpost, but his attempts have been unsuccessful. This further illustrates the inconsistency and unpredictability of the game’s current state.
In conclusion, Ricardo acknowledges that these glitches are part of the beta experience and expresses optimism that Frontier will address these issues promptly. He encourages viewers to check out the bizarre occurrences for themselves, emphasizing that while frustrating, they also provide entertaining moments within the game. He wraps up the video by thanking his audience for watching and hints at future updates and explorations in Elite Dangerous.
