Cmd creator, camera suite and mega-ships

Tuesday 14th February, 2017 · Posted by Roguey · 4 comments

There has been a lot of hype surrounding Elite: Dangerous next big updated, entitled 2.3. The main features are multi-crew and the commander creator. Today we got to see some of them. We will hopefully see multi-crew in-action on Frontiers live youtube stream, Thursday.

The first feature we got to see was the commander creator, named Holo Me. Holo Me allows you to create a in-game character. You can create either male or female character, change age, scars, nose, eyes, hair etc. This will allow commanders to put a personal touch to their experience;



The next feature we got to see if the hugely updated camera system. In the past we had to rely on a debug camera; it wasnt bad but was lacking some areas. This should allow content creators to create make better videos. You are able to move the camera around whilst staying in-control of your ship. You can also zoom out much further, control depth-of-view, see inside your cockpit and more.

After that we got to see the new Dolphin ship. To me it looks like another passenger ship, like the Orca or the Beluga Liner. I would make a wager that it will be small passenger liner - but just guessing at this point. It appears to have a similar look to Orca and Beluga;



And finally we got to see was the mega-ships. You may of seen these before in a odd pictures, but now they will be a real thing. These massive ships may have docking facilities, trade, etc. Not much is known at this point apart there will be many of them. Im guessing since they are ships, they will be able to move around too.

I would highly suggest watching the video below if interested. As always, id be very interested to hear what you think about 2.3.
