Elite Dangerous - Songs in Space

His journey

Hi there. I've been writing music for many years and thought I'd write something for Elite Dangerous, the ED community and folk in general. This track is about the frightening first encounter with a Thargoid alien ship in the game Elite:Dangerous.

I've tried to tell a story with this piece. This was pretty much the script in my head:

0.00: In space. Flying near ringed planet.
1.29: Power out..drifting/spinning
1.42: Electrical disturbances outside the ship - not recognisable..
2.35: Ship power back on - what the hell is going on ?!
3.37: Electrical disturbances increasing..becoming very intense
4.38: THARGOID appears from subspace - Massive onslaught of lasers - alien weapons !
5.09: Commander managers to hide in asteroid field. Contemplation. Heavy breathing..in shock !
5.55: Prep the ship for full attack ! Plan attack ! 
6.26: This is WAR ! Flying through asteroids - lasers everywhere !
6.58: Massive damage to both ships !
7.12: Thargoid explodes. 5% hull lefton your ship....live to fight another day

New Horizons

V1

Don't wanna be a federal idiot
don't wanna be a Hudson Affiliate
You might think the Corvette looks brilliant
But my Prismatic shields are resilient

CHORUS

Wecome to the Imperial nation
We got better ships in our stations
So make sure that you have your rebuy

Undermining, Stopping Expansion
feds exploding gives me satisfaction
We're gonna make you wanna cry

V2

Well maybe I'm a biased Imperial
But we don't welcome Federation ships at all
and If we see you out in supercruise
We Got our clippers out you know your gonna lose

CHORUS

Wecome to the Imperial nation
We got better ships in our stations
So make sure that you have your rebuy

Undermining, Stopping Expansion
feds exploding gives me satisfaction
We're gonna make you wanna cry 

V3

Don't wanna be a federal idiot
don't wanna be a Hudson Affiliate
You might think the Corvette looks brilliant
But your still a federation idiot

CHORUS

Wecome to the Imperial nation
We got better ships in our stations
So make sure that you have your rebuy

Undermining, Stopping Expansion
feds exploding gives me satisfaction
We're gonna make you wanna cry


FEDERAL IDIOT - An Elite Dangerous Parody of American Idiot by Green Day

Created for use in Egosoft's X3 Terran Conflict game, this track was originally intended to be used as generic sector background music but was instead used as the soundtrack for the promotional 'Think' trailer released before the game was launched.

X3 Terran Conflict OST - Think Trailer

A daytime/sunset ambient piece, to be played in all of Elsweyr's Anequina region.

Sun-Beaten Sands

It was cold I was freezing, I'd had too much booze,
So I thought I would park up my cow for the night,
She was packed to the gills with rare goods I had saved,
Yes a big haul of Arx's for my lady,
My coms panel opened a voice said 'Ha-har',
'now give me 10tons of your loot',
I was stubborn and drunk and would not give this punk
Not one penny so i blew it all....

My lady was hoping for riches that night, with no rebuy i was down on my knees,
But she just walked away from that empty ship bay,
She said 'you're not the man that i need'.

So i turned to the dark side, I hardened my heart,
Oh yes a mean pirate I'd be,
I flew out of that station and into this song,
Yes I knew I had found what I'd be.

I was flying my cobra right out of Kremmain with a hold full of Lavian brandy,
I was swigging so deeply from my Hutton Mug with the rare smell of Onion-Head round me.
Maybe I'll find a girl in Frigaha one night, who'll put up with my pirating ways,
But until then I'll drink from this old Hutton mug,
and I hope that I'll meet her one day.

One day, Christmas day
Oh I'll win back your heart with my gold and my charms,
Oh one day, Christmas day,
But until then i'll keep on my pirating ways waheeey

So I cooled down my Cobra and silent ran home
and sold all of my Lavian Brandy
Had some Pink Bast Snake Gin just to give me a grin and a puff of that Onion-Head gladly.

Maybe I'll find a girl in Frigaha one day, who'll put up with my pirating ways,
But until then I'll drink from this old Hutton mug,
and I hope that I'll meet her one day.

One day, Christmas day
Oh I'll win back your heart with my gold and my charms,
Oh one day, Christmas day,
But until then I'll keep on my pirating ways
Oh one day, Christmas day
Oh I'll win back your heart with my gold and my Arx's,
Oh one day, Christmas day,
But until then I'll keep on my pirating ways...

If you got the wings and the rebuy  deal with us
Small ship to big its first past the post 
Every bodies lined up staring at the slot gap
Smiling  at those glasses with the topgun faces on

Pitch fork waving at the neutron thruster boy
Boost to the max as we skittle off the toaster rack
Turn baby turn before you even think about it
Gotta be slick like an oil tanker spewing it
    
We got the speed indeed
We're racing round this galaxy
Hop onboard with Elite Racers..... everyone flying high
We got the speed indeed
We're racing round this galaxy
Hop onboard with Elite Racers..... everyone flying

So you learned the way of the boost addict
Waiting for the charge lines even when your sleeping in your bed
In your head all you see is the raceway turning
Pulling on that boost  finger in yo dreams

Get in the flow like an neutron dipper boy
You know they gonna hit ya if you get in their way
Spin like a record baby FA off can send you crazy
This is the whip crack on your slow ass

We got the speed indeed
We're racing round this galaxy
Hop onboard with Elite Racers..... everyone flying high
We got the speed indeed
We're racing round this galaxy
Hop onboard with Elite Racers..... everyone flying

You set the pace at the Kuiper Raceway

Hop onboard with Elite Racers..... everyone flying high
We got the speed indeed
We're racing round this galaxy
Hop onboard with Elite Racers..... everyone flying

5 Elite Racers

I know I said that I'd be home soon
But I gotta go do one more thing
INRA said that its important,
So importantGOTTA MAKE SOME SACRIFICES
You know that I've fought  bugs before
But never more than one at a time
And now I'm staring at a hive like mothership 
Silent running my way inside

They told me I was here to kill their drives, just their drives
Now I'm seeing many millions of those bugs die
And I don't want this on my hands

They told me that the payload, was a virus
Aimed at killing their tech
Now the blood is on my hands 
Do you think they really done yet

They knew that it was lethal
Exactly of its power
They tricked me into carrying out this lie
Sliding past perimeters, cold as an icepick
To the flower that gives them life

They told me I was here to kill their drives, just their drives,
Now I'm seeing many millions of those bugs die,
And I dont want this on my hands.
