By the gods, imagine getting interdicted by a wing of 4 type 9s, getting your cargo hold ripped open like a can of tuna, and then get swarmed by a dozen limpets...
All while wondering why a pack of space cows are violently spewing chaff
Any ship should be able to easily outrun a Type-9 via spam boost. I love this ship but let's be honest here.
@@thepixelcatcher298 Also chaffing in a Type-9 PvP is basically useless unless your opponent is too stupid to untarget you and aim at your massive, ponderously slow impossible to miss hit-box manually.
That idea made me giggle
that image is hilarious. thank you.
@@Beer_Dad1975 seems like it's for cow meme's not combat effectiveness
The issue for big ships (and ED in general) is the lack of crew, the whole sense of scale is lost when you are the sole commander and inhabitant of your ship. I want to have AI crew on my ships, serving a purpose. Perhaps a navigator who gives a FSD bonus (say 1-10LY depending on skill), a mechanic who can passively repair modules to a certain % etc. Put more seats etc in the ships and visually show the hired NPC in your ship, helping, doing a role! It would make these huge ships far less lonely and a greater sense of scale. Great review as ever.
I hear it in the distance, calling.
ˢᵖᵃᶜᵉˡᵉᵍˢ
I can ONLY agree with that, having around 400-ish hours in ED, i love my Corvette.
That said, i just started Star Citizen, got me a Cutlass Black and IMMEDITALY love it 100times more.... simply bc i can explore it, run around in it, have a Co-Pilot and a turret man.... its MY ship, not just SOME ship.
@@shaheenaevelga8604 Ditto. Just started a month ago. I got a Freelancer DUR, then during the big sale I did some shuffling and got a Banu Defender and a Freelancer MIS. In any case, it makes me wish I could sit in the windowed area at the front of my Anaconda or stand on the back porch of my Krait even more than I wanted it before.
I really don't understand people who actively oppose space legs.
This..
This it the type of thing I've been BEGGING for since I started playing Elite a year ago...…………………………...and it's exactly the type of thing we'll NEVER get in this game. Because it would require FD to do something that would add to the game's immersion and fun factor for the player.
I reviewed ED a while ago and I brought up all of these same points. And I also made the point that ED is a game that, by design, doesn't care if you love it or not...that it will, for better or for worse, always be exactly what it is. Obsidian Ant made the point once that "We love ED in spite of FD, not because of it.". And I couldn't agree with that statement more.
(Please check out my review here. I could use the traffic: facebook.com/notes/s-h-robinson-film-and-video-game-reviews-and-news/elite-dangerous-a-beautiful-game-with-literally-all-of-the-promise-in-the-univer/1106825422810442/)
My type 9 has 1 purpose. Carry 750 tons of power play, so I can reach the requirements to unlock their respected weapons in one single trip.
Bingo
I’m new what do you mean?
Ducote Kiernan some of the weapons in the game require gaining favor with one of the political powers in the game, the main way to do that is to run propaganda cargo for them. Once you do 750 tons of it in a week, and have been allied with them for 4 weeks you can buy their specific weapon.
Wait but how if you can only do 5 at a time
@@HighFidelityFox lol... You can pay to skip the timer. ... We all pay, to skip it.
The Type-9 is one of my favorite ships because it makes me feel like I'm having an impact on the galaxy. Pulling into an outbreak system with 720 tons of medicine just feels good.
I have a similar story. I came into a system that was in the midst of civil war. One station was experiencing famine, as they were in the middle of the conflict. I had about 680 units of algae. I fly with an AI pilot, just in case I need to fend off random looters, so my capacity isn’t at maximum. However, when I pulled into the hub, I saw they were nearing starvation. I sold everything I had, and set up a trade route to bring more food. I made a tidy profit, and definitely boosted my reputation. But the idea that I helped people who were hungry gave me the most satisfaction.
I can do that in my Cutter, the Saint Celestine, but at least I'm doing it in something stylish
@@weldonwin You called your Cutter Saint Celestine? Does it respawn in a random conflict zone after destruction, to help those that needed it the most? Is it besieged by an army of fangirling nuns in power-armor and they all dyed their hair white?
Maybe im just tired as fuck and should sleep now, but i have so many questions.
@@ThePandoraGuy Mostly I chose the name because it fit with the gleaming white of the stock Cutter.
I also named my Clipper "Angel's Wings", my Courier "Star Chaser" and my Python I named "Monty"... Well, me first Python a named Monty, my current one is named Nyanna.
I also had an Anaconda for a while I named The Rocianante and a Corvette I named The Donnager.
@@weldonwin Rocinante and Donnager...a man of culture :D.
"If you're the type of person who hauls bio waste for profit..."
I feel attacked.
I prefer progenitor cells. Lolz.
how profitable is that though?
@@Alecxace you can actually earn profit, since stations that produces bio waste is very common, and agriculture stations are the only station types that consumes it, there is a use for it. Not as high as other trade commodities, or outright mining, but there is some profit, but it is certainly reliable due to said availability and the constant demand from agriculture facilities. (And maybe scratching that space trucker itch)
You would be, if it was worth anything.
@@howardxu8050 I just like the thought of a pirate attack when you're hauling a full load of it......hand over 10 tons of cargo (scans you).....on second thoughts, keep it
The Type-9 was basically my fleet builder. I have a lot of love for my space truck. I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today without it.
The T9: Like flying a brick with a brick tied to it.
whilke throwin the brick into the water before hand
While attempting to escape the Event Horizon of a black hole
Oh no... The bricks are bolted together.
😅👍🏽
Just think of the Ramming possibilities. Lol.
When I got a Type 6 I named it "Big Bessy" was gonna name a Type 7 "Bigger Bessy" but I skipped it to the Type 9 and named it "Biggest Bessy."
With 790 units of cargo, flying around with no shields and consistently dock with 100% hull, pretty satisfying, after hours when I get to fly anything else I can't help but complain it's too fast and it should get off my lawn!
I named my T6 "Beer Money" because I got it by delievering multiple shipments of beer in a Hauler, "This Side Up".
Named mine "Bertha".
One of the community goals I did, was organising random players at different levels to watch over me in a T-9 *(space cow)* mining. The objective was to keep me alive while only using small ships, such as the Eagle etc.
Elite would be a lot more fun if they introduced a game feature like that. Yeah, one guy with a cutter came over and we made him run away but then he came back with a guy in Corvette and they overwhelmed the 12/13 of us.
but still fun lol
Now if they could make a type “12” where they keep the width but stretched the length to just fit into a large size pad, I think we’d be good.
We just need something like that that costs like 160 mil credits and is built like a shipping container full of bricks for *bulk* bulk shipping or for stripping a gas giant of ever last core asteroid in its hotspots. If it can turn 180* in under 24 hours it isn’t big enough yet.
yeah, 1280t of cargo, 5600 armor points, 86m/s max speed, and every time you leave port, the station makes this sucking "THUMPP"-sound when you pop out of the slot....XD XD XD
Made most of my money mining in a T9, listening to podcasts or watching videos on another monitor. Sometimes joined by a friend in his Anaconda, just chatting away the time and getting richer. He switches to a Cutter for Community Goals and we're almost guaranteed top 25% after only a couple hours. She's comfortable, "Control Feel" is perfect for her size and shape, and NPC interdictions aren't TOO difficult to escape. Plus, if they blow you up, it's a fraction of the cost of a Cutter or 'Conda to replace, and you make back all your lost money plus profit on your next run. This is the ship that defines "Idle Elite" for me.
Named mine the "Black Eye," based on the idea that if I escape combat, it's by the skin of my teeth, with some injuries. Plus, y'know, I keep flying into doorways.
When playing with friends half the fun can be racing these hulking beasts to see who gets to the next station first, only to start all over again after the trade dividends are shared
i name my ships after songs, my conda is named Midnight Special. its a CCR song.
To me the type 9 is the perfect ship to get some cargo, put on cruise assist and listen to some music, a podcast or even play a mobile game.
The life of the space trucker isnt exiting, its relaxing. And when im managing to beat out my exploration based friend by shifting polymers its a sight to behold.
"This is brilliant, but i like this"
You must have binge watched top gear my dude.
Abaolute legend!
The type 9 does one thing, and it does it really, really well, haul cargo.
It's pretty damn good as a miner, too. And while it may not be the best in the battlefield, if you load it up with weapons, armor, and reinforcements, it's definitely not a pushover in a fight.
Ah, the Flying Warehouse. ... Is your Pirate Type 9 named the Crimson Permanent Assurance by any chance?
Stealing this.
That was awesome
It's fun to charter an accountant.
@@sirdeadlock
And sail the wide accountancy.
It isn't. Yet.
I LOVE this ships look even if it is a big lumbering beasty, it looks so chonky and ulitarian. It really is the Big Rig of the stars. And as always, great vid, lovely dialogue and visuals.
As a trucker, I view the Type 6 as a box van cargo truck, like a UPS truck or something. Type 7 would be an 18 wheeler big rig, Type 9 would be a heavy haul rig, multiple Type 9's a convoy of big rigs, and Type 10 that big rig from Mad Max
XxSynphulGryphxX T10 would be that one build with 2 Detroit V12’s and 12 superchargers.
Name yours "pork chop express" and just take away in system chat like jack burton
"This is brilliant, but I like this."
Absolute perfection, I could watch these forever.
Personally I enjoy bringing the Type-9 out for extended mining trips. Good for those long, sleepy nights. Just me and the rocks for a while.
The Type 9 was the first ship I ever smuggled in, and it was one of the funniest experiences I've had in E:D.
Funny is not necessarily efficient, which is the whole point of E.D. If you are not having fun, your are doing it wrong.
Why are people exploring the far reaches of the galaxy, while other have them beaten in distance anyway, and there is as much money to be made finding the unmapped, unloved and occasional unvisited systems within 100 ly of the bubble?
Because they want to, because it is fun.
This. This comment encapsulates the ED explorer’s mentality perfectly. And for miners, it’s for that rush when you finally find an asteroid with a valuable core.
yaahahaaa... my first time trying to "sneak" past the patrols with this on silent running, slowly cooking away in my cockpit, sweat in equal parts from heat and fear....
You mentioned wishing you could walk around inside the Type-9.
I've been playing Star Citizen for about a month now, and all I can think about during the insanely long quantum jumps is "this would be SO MUCH BETTER if I was in one of my Elite: Dangerous ships!" Seeing what it's like to walk around in a Freelancer or even just a 300i makes me wish desperately I could sit at the coffee bar in my Anaconda, or sleep in the passenger cabin in my Dolphin. Ships in Elite, even from the outside, have all these extremely cool looking spaces and all I can think to myself is "I want to be THERE!"
So...to anyone who doesn't want space legs in Elite: go away. Yes, even you, Yamiks. I've seen a glimpse of what they can do for a game like this. It is glorious.
It's here and you STILL can't walk around the ships. Wasted potential.
I love my type 9! It looks the most like a ship you would find in an Aliens film.
All the Lakon stuff reminds me of Aliens, but the Type-9 more than any.
@@Virtuasamsara there´s a reason my T-10 is called "Sulaco"
I spent 3 months in this thing, everyday, with a minimum quota of making $10 mil a day. It was.....meditative. And it was all worth it for Elite Trader rank.
its super sad the new generation crys now that they dont make 50 bill in 3 hours
@@thebranmuffin8502 man i played this game when robigo runs were insanely profitably. Then i stopped playing. Now im a complete idiot with 20 MCR and a a rated python with only cargo racks and nothing else and i dont have a damn clue what I'm doing. Thats my complaint lol
@@recklesssquirel5962 depending on what you want to do there are some good community driven sites, for trading I use eddb, type7 then upgrade to type9. Or stay in your python and upgrade to type9 or anaconda. Mining in a challenger is good or doing passenger missions in the python and then an anaconda.
At the end of the day, as long as you are having fun, I mostly run 20-30ly cargo missions of 20m a trip and use that cr to fund other exploits.
Stay safe cmdr
Edit: grammar
i make 9.7 million in my type 9 with 1 trip and 700k with a return trip... a couple of repeats and i can buy some good ships like the anaconda
@Rod Rubenstein not everyone is a vet thats been playing for thousands of hours, so no use bragging
I bought the Type 9 when it was on sale for the community goal. It sat abandoned for ages until I realised it was a perfect miner. Its earned me 3 billion credits so far and I'm not done yet.
Bravo sir! from a t-9 miner who loves beating the interdictors back with a mine launcher and a fast FSD.
t-9 is truely the Uhaul of the universe, but when I need to get 500+ tons of crap from one place to another it does the job. It also feels like a it looks. A big, bulky, mover of things.
I take my type 9 out to a metallic ring put on a movie and come back a multimillionaire
How exactly did you did that? :)
I mean - i know only one way for mining to bring some million which is - Ice Ring with Low Temp Diamonds, but that's totaly not a "sat and watch a movie'" scenario :)
So what way did you do that?
@@Olden2610 at the time painite was selling high and was faster to fill up my holds with fragments up to 60% but with the mining changes LTDs are the way to go
@@Loki-pd3zjI mean - how you mined passively?
@@Olden2610 laser mining is mind numbing easy after 2400hrs and I run two monitors, one over the other
@@Loki-pd3zj Understood)
Thank you!
This might be one of the best feeling ships when using a HOTAS
until you twist your stick in half trying to pull away from a star or asteroid.
Nah, type 7 felt much much better
@@ernestthelumberjack 😂😂😂😂😂 yes
Earnerd my first billion trading in a t9. When im tired of mat grinding and shooting i grab a beer, open up eddb multi hop and make easy relaxed trading money
I have the exact goddamn idea, i really like doing that :')
Yup. Same. When I bought my nine I had barely enough after filling the hold with bauxite to cover my rebuy! By the next afternoon I had made Elite trader and had 1.2 billion credits in the bank. All while sipping beers and watching UA-cam videos of what to buy next. Get good at interdictions and it is the money printer.
Your videos are some of the most well-edited and cinematic videos on Elite: Dangerous that I've ever seen. Why the hell do you only have 14.3K subscribers and only 15.4K views on this video?
I don't even like or play Elite: Dangerous and you make me want to fire up Euro Space Truck Simulator 3301 Edition.
Thanks. I'm not sure? I probably should be telling people to share the videos, but I tend to forget. Either way, it's nice that people like them when they do see them.
@@ThePilot_ they really are fantastic man. I'm on my second time watching through this series. You somehow made me excited about every ship
Exceptional as ever. I mine in my T9 purely for the tranquility (and cash) however it can get as you say "exciting" on the way to the sale station.
I have never failed one of those interdiction mini games even in the type 9. o.o you just gotta use both joysticks and predict where the circle is going easy enough.
I love how fat and slow the Type-9 is. It flies EXACTLY like it's supposed to. Great video, as always.
When maxing out cargo I can make 20-55 mil a run based on the most profitable trade loop
The thing about community goals:
I bought one for the second phase of the colonia bridge project. Last time I had to be fairly dedicated with whatever ship I had to get 75%.
With a type-9, I made back it’s purchase price in just a few trips, and probably by the end made double or triple back. I got in the top 25%.
Battle cow. Mine is called "Mad cow syndrome"
I love when pirates or gankers interdict me, thinking I’m an easy target only to see them 10 min later high tail out of there while cursing at me. I always reply "Well no one forced you to attack me, but thank you for the salt cause I’m having dinner 💋"
6:40 Ahh yeah, that was a fun time indeed. I was part of it. That's me in the Type-7 there. (I was on my alt. It was all i could afford at the time.)
I called mine The Manta Ray, I really need to give it more love (strip down and reduce weight) but it does have top thrusters and FSD, you need those thrusters to not wanna put your head in a microwave every time you roll! It's a tough little thing which makes shieldless mining less worrying.
Mining Void Opals in a Fed Vette with Fighter cover rules! I got my First Corvette mining with a Type 9. One trip in a T9 and the Vette was paid for and fully tricked out. 4 hours.
Flew my T9 for at least a year doing bulk trading back in 2016. Loved that ship, and still use it occasionally for either missions, bulk trade or mining today. Easily one of my absolute favorites.
i cant never get over how amazing your videos are, and how awe inspiring they are for me as someone with 1800+ hours on elite. these videos about elite and its ships, makes me love the game that much more. even as simple as it may be, and i dont know exactly why. maybe its the beautiful music and the deep criticism you give at times.but either way, your videos have made me want to play more and more. Thank you, and keep up the amazing work!
The Type 9 is a workhorse, no other word for it. I'm in the latter stages of engineering mine as a self sufficient miner. Subsurface, seismic, abrasion blaster, mining laser, 4A refiner, PVH to restock my supplies on the go. I'm pushing 35Ly unladen and 28Ly laden. I've flown mine to Sag A* then to Colonia before returning to Cubeo. I've flown to Colonia and back in it twice for different engineering runs and, once I have my limpet controllers stripped down, will be going back for armour engineering.
It's by no means an exciting ship, but it is dedicated and works hard. I love the Type 9. It's not the fastest, nor the prettiest, nor the most effective outside of trade. But it doesn't stop me loving this Warehouse
Actually, the type 9 is okay at avoiding interdictions, because a lot of the smaller ships have trouble pulling it out of supercruise
The Type 9 really isn't that bad at avoiding interdictions once you've put in the time & money to upgrade and engineer it. I can't remember the last time I've unwillingly lost an interdiction in mine. I do however often willingly submit so that I can have some fun curbstomping pirates who think they found a fat, easy target. They change their tunes pretty quick when faced with engineered beam lasers, missiles, and a high-ranked fighter pilot.
I have bought and sold the T9 so many times. Despite its speed, handling, and interdiction evasiveness... it's made me the CMDR I am today.
Rich, well outfitted, and Elite.
The Type is my favorite ship. Ive made an exploring tour to Sag A* with it. Suns where my main enemy ;-) At the moment i use the Type-9 to smuggle....very profitable :-D And i can bring down a whole system with Drugs, weapons and other things.
Do the fines work like in the old Elite? Where you came in with a cargo full of contraband worth millions, and where fined 1000? I called it sales tax. A bit worse when you happened upon an undercover cop in the black market, but there are none of those in E.D.
I love the idea of having a group of type nines all out mining together. Maybe with an anaconda or a few pythons running around as spotters and weapons platforms to protect them from pirates.
I'm loving this ship. Made 400M in a day doing cargo missions.
I know you've done msot of the ships, but damn if I don't want more every time I see one of these. You ahve a way with words that makes this so enjoyable.
The most valuable ahip in my fleet. Its made 90% of my entire worth and paid for itself manytimes over. The great big bird. I like my T9 miner but its focussed on core mining doesnt have distributor problem. The low manouverability is nice in an asteroid field.. i find myself not rushing because well you cant rush in a t9. Trade runs can be done semi AFK with the right modules.
The Pilot's ship review formula:
This ship is good
This ship is bad
This ship is good
This ship is bad
This ship is good
This ship is bad
*Actually it depends on the CMDR*
Very true but some ships simply aren't worth the money
Objective flaws are just what they are. He calls them as he sees them.
Good job! You just described every review ever. Should I call up Webster so your definition can be added to the dictionary?
A "Top gear" car review for a Elite dangerous ship! 👏👏👏
This guy... This guy's reviews gives me chills everytime... I've watched all his ship reviews countless of times just to see something pleasant, it's not anymore about whatching a ship review just to see If it's suits me.. it's about how capable this guy is about transmitting the pace of this game.... Just perfect. please frontier hire him for something, anything related to content because he would do better than all you have right now.... This is passion. And the fact that he just quit doing elite stuff it's just so respectable. What a better time to change direction after you accomplished the pinnacle of content for what this game is.
I really hope to see more elite content in the future... When the time comes...
Meanwhile
The biggest o7
Lakon and the type 9 are how I made my fortune that let me build my fleet. I still prefer the looks and handling of the Lakon bricks to the Imperial Cutter.
i remember i used my asp explorer to save up 75mil to buy this thing. i went on my first cargo mission with a stock t9 and an empty bank account. igot interdicted and destroyed by an anaconda and couldn't buy my ship back. i respawned at the first station i entered the game in, in my sidewinder, far away from my home station. It took me a year and a half to launch the game again. XD
4:42 "because you are in a Type 9" always makes me chuckle. Great reviews. full stop. My favourite route: LT569 via 19 phi-2 ceti via Shangdi via alanus to LHS142 and back (bertrandite at lt569 and silver at lhs142)
I spent 2 weeks in an icy ring mining void opals with this ship. Got a total cargo of 522 of them. Sold them for 800+ million. I will never forget that experience 😂 ran out of limpets and had to manually manoeuvre between rocks to collect with the scoop. God I hate this ship 😂
A fun little side-game: I sacrificed a bit of cargo for a 5D fighter hanger and installed long range lasers... so I submit to PvE interdictions, turn the big boat around and fight (from a distance, lol). Even with my 6A shields and full of 692t cargo I've taken out lone PvE Anacondas that way with the help of my NPC SLF (Taipan Rogue F). This mainly works because right now NPCs seem overly concerned with my SLF but it's still fun.
The Type-9 also helps with superpower faction building. I stacked up to ten Rep+++ (and higher) delivery, source/return, and mining (store-bought metals) missions at a time with this thing. So after my Python, the Type-9 was a very valuable game progression ship and I still use is a lot.
Just got my Type-9 last weekend purely to transport "thingys" for the CGs, other than it needing a solar revolution to turn around I'm hooked and have found my way over to the EliteCarriers forums and well on my way to being a full time space trucker. Look out for for a Purple Type-9 ship ID - Ace Trucking Co. Ghost1. (Big 2000AD fan and couldn't resist)
I loved your closing thoughts. Because you are right, the Type-9 is a great caravan ship. My friends and i will do trade missions together in our space freighters and enjoy time together, talking and laughing. It is a good ship for calm roads and clear skies.
Just got mine today.. Painted it Pink and called it "Helga". My new mining ship...
Oh man, the ending reminds me of the mining CG for Distant Worlds 2. I didn't do much myself, but it was fun. We went in wings, mainly Anacondas though, too far out to bring T9s. Wing mining was so fun. Splitting up to prospect, then once someone had a good rock we'd all gather around it and blast it until it was dry. Good times.
I named my second type 9 "oh lawd he comin" bought it for the galactic summit events and hauled an absolutely astonishing amount of stuff in that week.
I was kinda sad when they cancelled the summit after the bombings but I had an anaconda I could refit for rescue so... Yeah making a few million while unlocking the corvette is a nice consolation prize.
Yes, I had and sold a type 9 previously.
I’ll say that this thing (and most Lakon ships in general) has the most pleasantly designed cockpits from a pilot’s perspective… as long as you aren’t expecting trouble.
it's made me a lot of credits. it built my fleet single handedly. love it
I wouldn't be where I am now in the game without a Type-9. It was my baby and it made me more money than any of my ships. And I, like a fool, traded it for a Type-10 :(
"This is brilliant, but i like this" i see what you did there
every time I don't feel like playing elite dangerous. I watch one of your videos and immediately jump pull out my VR headset, Hotas, and then spend hours in Elite. Time flies by so quick when playing it in VR.
Keep up the great work man, your videos have got me back into playing Elite, in particular long distance exploration.
Other than the Cutter, this is THE ship for people who actually enjoy laser mining. I don't need this ridiculously huge ship to be fast or maneuverable. I just need to it mine efficiently and in large quantities, and it does that perfectly. All the while, I just sit there and chat with friends while listening to music and relaxing.
652 Tons of cargo space - 2 limpet prospectors - 7 limpet collectors - 3 medium mining lasers - Shields - this is a great strip miner lol
I named mine MANATEE
Every time I see one of these cruising past, I'm vividly reminded of a lone whale, or an 18-wheeler out on the road in the middle of nowhere.
"I think 4 type-9s are harder to take down than 1." Yeah, because 3 have a chance to get away. The old bear adage--you don't have to be faster than the bear, you just have to be faster than one of your friends.
Cool episode I enjoyed it look forward to the next one.I do appreciate all the time and effort you put into your production and all that you have to do.
Perfect ship for the "run a podcast while you play" crowd. Do some space trucking and relax.
holy shit that clip of al the ships mining the same rock at once...😧glorious! how many limpets were out at once?! 🤣
You'd have to ask CMDR Mini...
Trading tools in game need serious buffing. Route plotting and cargo planning would allow you to plot a route with in-game tools, stop offs, cargo sales and swaps, etc. You need to be able to filter missions for routes already plotted or with missions to that system, so that you can fill on-spec demand for missions to make the bigger cargo permanently useful rather than a happy circumstance. The in-station list of cargo purchase and sale points for places you already have been needs to be expanded, even if it only covers the same "20 LY local backyard" distance (the distance you need to go to sell exploration data). The commodity comparison should not matter from the "Select from Galaxy", so you can have, say, STATE shown and also compare commodities with the station. Illegal goods in the destination should AT LEAST be flagged (the number of times I buy tobacco only to find that it is illegal and there is no station with a black market, and those that do buy for a LOT less). There needs to be a payoff difference for illegal cargo (higher the higher security level) and stolen (lower the higher the security level) to allow smuggling to be a thing. And at least SOME indication of the amount of product you can at least EXPECT from a station, because, again, the number of times I take a mission for 90 landmines only to find that a place I'm going sells them all right, but only 2 tons of them, is depressing and offputting.
Some of the changes, like route plotting, could be useful elsewhere, e.g. rares trading or exploration, but they make trading more usable, and some of them make a cargo capacity greater than 180 tons actually worth going for.
The trading routes view on the galaxy is almost utterly worthless, especially since it doesn't show places you haven't been at, doubly so since it doesn't show amounts, prices or even that it was the source rather than a waypoint.
I don’t even play these games but I can’t stop listening....this guy could sell ice to Eskimos.
I want to play this game just cause of him
Now we get to the ship that really wants to headbutt every star it sees when it gets out of which space
Not even two minutes in without a topgear reference lol
the pilot gone but not forgotten thanks for all the ship reviews it made me go out and grind for my cutter and corvette
I enjoy core mixed mining in this ship, I lost my soul while doing it. But it's oddly zen like
I love these videos, makes me want to buy every ship
Just wanted to say that I love your content from your ship reviews to entertaining scenarios. Please keep up the great work!
Wings of Type 9s rock. Some wing delivery missions can be done in one run, most in two. Add in a second wing of escorts, and it is likely to result in a very memorable outing.
One thing you missed out on was Operation Ida station repairs. Convoys of Type 9s doing that is fantastic fun. Op Ida are planning to repair a station in a single day on the 14th: I'll be in my Type 9 for a good chunk of that day.
I miss the hell out of my T9 honestly, I sold it to upgrade to a T10, then an Anaconda and honestly I kinda regret it, I find trading, piracy, exploration and mining unreasonably fun in Elite and this ship was excellent for all of that. I don't feel right flying an Anaconda, it feels like wearing a uniform for a job you don't have, one that doesn't fit but everyone is impressed by regardless. I made the most money I ever made in that T9, and if anything else doesn't make me feel great that I listed, watching 10-20 million credit profits roll in sure af does. I feel like I'm about to be one of the only people ever to trade an Anaconda for a T9.
Such visual craftsmanspaceship. +1
In space, you can’t hear the cows moo.
I love my Type-9. I`ve spend a few time in ASPX, Fer-De-Lance and Chieftain but it isn't the same feeling as in the Type-9. I love this flying brick. Even ordered a 3D model of it on display on my desk
My Type-9 is just for cargo moving. Might look into refitting it for pirate runs, but I have my second Anaconda for that.
My Tip for being dicted in a Type-9: Drop Chaff and shock mines (on one fire grp) and boost, anywhere, just boost. FA-Off and flip around to face the pirate and lock on. FA-BackOn, boost towards him (in a game of chicken, guess who's gonna win?) Fire Torps and Missles, pref Hounds (on the other fire grp). The Torp will hide within the missles . Go Silent, drop Heatsinks. Keep firing everything and boost in Silent dropping heatsink. All this time, your FSD is recharging. Once FSD is back online, GTFO. You're not there to fight (and win), this is all for distraction while your FSD comes back online.
I love mine for mining, plus it looks hella scary with the raider parts.
It has such a great Influence it can literally move the galaxy
This playlist should be renamed "And that's a problem for me." xD
Also, why does the description reference the Cobra Mk.IV?
DeLacey pays better than Lakon.
The Type-9 is so clunky that about 1 time in 10, flying into a station even the docking computers scrape the wall. It's awesome doing choice wing transport missions solo though.
I actually really like that. The little "whack" sound as you leave a bit of paint in the mail slot always puts a grin on my face. Just a reminder that you're the big kid on the playground, and all the lesser traders in their teeny little ships better get out of the way, because you're here to reset the economy.
I had a T9. . .for about an hour, sold it, bought a Conda and never looked back.
With the FC implemented, I can now properly use this ship, to use it as a heavy resupply vessel to transport tritium from selling points.
I always wonder: Why isnt there a Type 8 Transporter? Did the Devs just skiped it or was a there a Type 8 in Development but the idea got scraped?
T9 and cutter convoys are the backbone of station repair efforts.
I took out the shields for more cargo, and when auto docking it always rammed the lower part and I had to spend like 14000 every time to fix it
Hey there, I'm pretty new to your channel and this is some awesome stuff!!
Maybe review the SRV/fighters next?
So many good stills possible from your excellent footage and eye-catching locations. Top notch! 👍 07
