The video, hosted by Commander Got It Bacon, focuses on efficiently locating and purchasing ships in the game "Elite Dangerous," a common challenge for new players. The presenter explores three primary methods: using the in-game map, and two third-party tools—EDDB.io and Inara. He starts by detailing how to navigate the galaxy map and apply economy filters to identify high-tech (blue stars) and industrial (yellow stars) systems, which are more likely to have a wider and better selection of ships and modules. The largest stations in these systems hold a higher chance of offering desirable ships.
The second method involves using EDDB.io, a comprehensive database that allows users to search for specific ships and their availability in nearby stations with filters for different ship types. This tool, while useful, requires users to verify data due to potential outdated information.
The third method employs Inara, highlighting its shipyard feature which enables players to view ships, apply various filters, and locate stations offering specific ships, including discounted ones. This tool also emphasizes the need to check update dates to ensure data accuracy.
Additionally, the presenter addresses the importance of a filtering tool for locating stations with large landing pads, crucial for pilots with large ships like the Anaconda, to prevent futile travel efforts. The video concludes with recommendations for further resources and an invitation to engage with future content.

In this part of the video, the presenter, Commander Got It Bacon, introduces the topic of where to buy ships in “Elite Dangerous,” addressing a common question among new players. He explains three methods to efficiently find ships: one using the in-game map and two with third-party tools. He first demonstrates navigating the in-game map by accessing the galaxy map, switching from the default “realistic view” to “map view,” and using the economy filter. He points out that high-tech and industrial systems are more likely to have a good selection of ships and advanced modules. High-tech systems are marked by blue stars and industrial systems by yellow stars on the map. The presenter emphasizes visiting the largest station in these systems for the best chance at finding a desirable ship, although it’s not guaranteed. He then transitions to discussing a third-party tool for the second method.

In this segment of the video, the speaker introduces a website called EDD B.io, which is a useful tool for players of a certain game. The website acts as a large database that pulls in game data and allows users to search for information conveniently. The speaker demonstrates how to use the tool by entering a reference system, starting with “Airavit” as a common starting point. By searching for systems and stations near the reference point, the user can find where specific ships are available. For example, they search for an Imperial Cutter and discover the nearest station with the ship is 46.99 light-years away. The tool also allows the filtering of ship types, like the ASP Explorer, showing where these ships can be found. The speaker notes that some data may not be frequently updated, so users should verify the information, especially for price updates. The tool’s utility is emphasized, although it’s mentioned that it should be used with some caution.

In this segment of the video, the speaker explains how to use a third-party tool called Inara for finding ships in a game. They describe accessing the tool’s shipyard feature to view a gallery of ships and applying filters to narrow down options. Specifically, the speaker demonstrates searching for a Diamondback Explorer, checking its availability across different systems, and identifying shipyards with the desired ship. They also show how to find ships with discounts, providing an example of finding a discounted Diamondback Explorer. The speaker highlights the importance of checking update dates for the data, as some information may be outdated. Finally, they mention other filters available, such as searching for different ships and obtaining price details.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses using a filtering tool to locate stations with large landing pads in the game Elite Dangerous. The tool is beneficial for pilots with large ships like the Anaconda, which can only dock at large pads. The presenter acknowledges the importance of this tool when purchasing new ships to avoid traveling to stations where docking isn’t possible. Viewers are encouraged to check out additional resources such as a beginner’s guide playlist and an FAQ series for more guidance on the game. The segment ends with an invitation to subscribe for future updates and leave questions in the comments.
