I've flown both of these ships for a long time now, and on balance I prefer the Type 10. But it's more personal preference because of the way I've set mine up. There are a few things to note, though: The Anaconda - It's a more beginner friendly ship because of it's better maneuverability. Compared to the T10 you can throw it around more and it's more forgiving of mistakes. - The hardpoint placement is better overall. They're closer together and easier to get all your guns on target for more of the time. - The Class 8 Power Distributor gives you more freedom in terms of using a charge hungry loadout. - The number and type of Optional module slots makes it the best passenger ship in the game. - Although it has less Hull Hardness than the Type 10, it can fit substantially more Hull Reinforcement, negating a lot of the difference while maintaining more maneuverability. The Type 10 - It can outdamage every other ship in the game quite substantially IF you can get all your weapons on target. It has more DPS potential than the Conda, Corvette and Cutter. The lack of a Class 4 hardpoint shouldn't put people off, because having one extra hardpoint, and the composition of the ones it has, means that in terms of numbers it can put out more damage. - You have to fly it the way it wants to be flown, and not the way you're used to flying other ships. That's one of the hardest things to get to grips with. In terms of maneuverability it's somewhere between the Conda and the Cutter, but if you have good positional awareness and can use FA off, it's not really harder to fly, in my opinion. Although I would say it is more advanced than the Conda in that you have to think a bit further ahead. - The cockpit has much better visibility. Comparible to an Asp Explorer. - Being able to fit Class 8 shields compared to the Conda's Class 7 means it can make an excellent shield tank due to the ferocious recharge rate of Class 8 Bi-Weave shields. My setup at the moment uses very little structural reinforcement because it just doesn't need it. - It makes a better cargo hauler because it can carry more, in terms of tonnage, than the Conda. Unshielded the Type 10 can carry 532 tons compared to the Conda's 468, and shielded the Type 10 can carry 468 tons compared to the Conda's 452. Add to that a higher mass lock factor making it easier to get away if you get interdicted because bigger ships won't be able to stop you, and higher hull hardness, it's very viable for a trading ship. - It has very good base heat efficiency, and when fully engineered can make an extremely fun stealth ship. - Depending on your setup, 90% of the time it will be cheaper to both buy and outfit than the Anaconda, meaning less Rebuy. There isn't a big enough difference between all of the big ships to make using one over the other more than a matter of personal preference based on how you fly. All of them have strengths in one or more areas, and weaknesses in others. But in my opinion, unless you're using it for exploring, or long range mission running, you can't go wrong with a Type 10.
Kaethena I agree with most of your points. And the type 10 does have more cargo. My fault.. However, I feel like because of the jump range the Anaconda is better off as a trader regardless of the few extra cargo. (because it's not that much more) and a Huge hardpoint can be much more significant than the large. Especially when you engineer it. other than that I think you make very valid points. thanks for the view!
Kaethena spot on!!! Wow, another Type 10 fanatic (we are a rare species) I love my Type 10 it is the ultimate flying tank. I've got gd 5 Reactive armor, gd 5 HD HRPs and a couple of MRPs too. I love flying the 10 far more than the Anaconda, all I need to do now is get used to FA off because you say it makes the 10 even better. I love the fact I can just sit the 10 in the middle of a CZ and be attacked from all angles and just not care. The shields go down (Biweave gd5 thermal plus Boosters Resistance and HD) and in any other ship you'd retreat ASAP, not in the 10 haha!!! I can just sit there and depend on all the armor to keep me alive. The only issue is the slightly dodgy Supercruise handling haha!!! o7 Commander!!!
Kaethena damn son that was an in depth analysis. I enjoyed reading though... As a person who loved my type 9 battle cow, the type 10 was a no brainer for me. I have been having so much fun with it. I love everything about it. Hell even the spoilers cause they provoke people hahaha... Super awesome cockpit view as with all Lakon ships. Evil evil turbine engine sound. Anyway mine is maxed out with engineers. 1800 bi weave shields. Engines. Hull like everything. I don’t do PVP but mostly pve and missions. But if I did get attacked now and then by players I absolutely NUKED the crap out of them... my weapons set up was. 8 torpedoes with shield buster upgrade(forgot the name lol) 2x small torpedoes. 3x medeium torpedo = 8 torpedoes. And the 4 large hardpoints were Packhounds... Any small ship would get nuked with one pull on the trigger. Any big ship would get blasted to pieces also... Now I bought the corvette. And I think that is a cool ship too. But I kinda miss my type 10 now. Better jump range and cockpit view. And better hardpoints in my opinion. Plus I call my type 10 for “Mad Cow Syndrome “ haha😆 The type 10 is just such a cool ship in my opinion. I am literally afraid of no one when I fly it. I’m like son if you try some shit one me you get THE HORNS! Hahaha
I found the Corvette was a very good mining ship more agile then my Python. The only real problem I suffered from was getting bored of filling up the cargo space 3* size 7 cargo. So built a mining Krait Mk2.
Type 10 is a AX combat ship on paper but many players have found that in practice , it doesnt do that well with Thargoids . But the armor means it can still take the beating and escape . Massacre missions is what it can do well at .
I bought an anaconda and sold it. Believe it or not I started fighting in a type 9 LMAO! Fighting was a necessity to defend my LTD selling trips. I liked it and was successful at beating back if not destroying hostel ships so I moved to the T10. Just last night I ran into someone that ganked me when I first started playing. I pull up with my type 10. The first thing out his mouth is, "so when are you going to get a combat ship"? I said my ship is fine and I'm happy the way it is! He's like " want to test it? " he thought so little of the type 10 that he engaged me with a diamondback with no Shield! He might have been doing the Silent Running trick but it didn't matter, as I was running emulsive. After a while he started asking what weapons I was using. Because I use FA off and turreted pulse lasers he was never truly able to get out of the line of fire. Then when he thought he was about to BREAK my shield (using PA's) he watched helplessly as they recharged completely! Scramble Spectrum and three Seeker missiles were doing a number on his ship AND external modules! At 22% he Taps out while my ship was untouched with full shield! Not saying I'm the best or anything special but THAT'S how you represent for the TYPE-10😁
The view from the cockpit of the Type 10 is one of the best in the game; if you play in VR, it's very cool. Multipurpose, the Anaconda rocks, but if you are mostly doing trading, The Type 10. Another thing about the Type 10, doing landings is difficult because of the mass of the ship; it takes time to fine a suitable place to land versus the Anaconda.
I managed to make max 60, don't know what people are talkign about.... Can you send me ship configuration on coriolis.io? After meeting Engineer and making improvements obviously.
If you look up elite dangerous anaconda explorer builds 70ly you'll find it. But its basically stripping down everything possible weight(mass)-wise for max jump. If your at 60ly and you have everything in your ship you want you should stick with that. Happy flying commander
Thanks for another great video. The only thing the Type 10 has going for it against the Anaconda is it's heat displacement, you can keep orbiting a star and it's very hard to overheat, if it could get a jump range of about 50ly instead of it's 35ly then it would make a decent explorer.
As a person who absolutely loved the type 9. I used for trading and combat. So the type 10 was 😍😍😍 for me. Now I have the corvette. I love it. But I miss my type 10. Best cockpit view also. The type 10 is very slow in supercruise though. And you need to learn flight assist off when in combat.
kubel83 sounds awesome dude! I always enjoy flying a less used ship over something thst I know would be better. Right now I'm flying the killer whale beluga setup, which always is hilarious to me.
MT Major hahah nice! I do the exactly same thing. I love making builds out of ships people don’t expect... I never attack people but I love when gankers jump me only to get a scare and run for the money... My other war ship is a Berluga also. Torpedo boat with packhounds. 700 mj bi weave shields. And 410 in boost speed. When gankers jump me they get nuked. I call my Berluga for “DAS BOOT” from that old German submarine WW2 movie hahaha.
I just got an anaconda but both seem very strong. Due to the type 10’s slow speed in a PvP situation of even skill the anaconda might have a bit of an edge. For pve both are very viable. I always find it entertaining when I see someone fly a type 10 out of the mail slot since the type 10 is almost as wide as the mail slot. I almost got destroyed leaving a station once because a CMDR was inpatient in his type 10 and boosted me out of the way. I was left with 20% hull and no shields and he barely had damage to his shields ( I was in a python ).
I literally flattened a poor person in a cobra. They were coming in the very top of the slot, and I rose from below so they didn't see me, and them boosted once I knew I was in the right spot. I didn't even feel or notice a thing, but the cobra was just gone, and on my way out of the station ripped me apart and I ate a rebuy. I had no idea what had happened until a friend who was waiting to leave after me and saw everything told me. I almost escaped the stations guns too, if I'd realized it and started popping shield banks I would have made it clear. She's thick, but that ship can get the absolute snot kicked out of it and still limp home.
Anaconda got it for couple of months it's not the perfection but when i hear ppl saying corvette is the best that's true only in conflict zones when you have to fight in one to one Anaconda is more proper and have one hard point and optional modules that's very useful so im not sure to buy corvette or t10
as with anything in the game, the only thing that really matters is looks. U want the star trek t10, a-cowboy-bebop -conda, the star bore's 'vette or one of Boeing's various imperial craft? Personally I like the 'conda, but the t10 is confirmed thicc
Get them both, that is the Elite way. However you will the end up with several Condas (Cargo conda, jumpa conda, combat conda) and probably just one Type 10.
Ive bought the anaconda twice now. But both times i ended up selling it and going back to python. All the extra missions i thought i could do by having a conda were now unavailable as my ship was too big!! Only upside of conda for me was decent in combat and cargo hauling. I actually regret selling my conda now. But iam about to buy the corvette instead. And iam keeping it.
I want a type 10 for some reason the conda is better but the type 10 is appealing to me for some reason please change my mind before I make a financial mistake.
once you eng it, you will find its not nearly as bad, and, honestly.. its so much fun to just combat tank the shit out of conflict zones and farm mats as you do it... (the 10 is far better for this then the cutter or vette for one reason, you can put its flat side between what you are colllecting and any combat to protect your limpets, far more effectivly then the cutter and vette can. ) i hated the 10 when it came out, rebought like 6mo later after reading some up on it and..damn.. grabbed it to test(already owned by vette and cutter...never really use my vette anymore..) and well. honestly i fell in love with it... and, personally i found it far more fun to take it out to the guardian ruins then the explorer ships or something like the conda that.. honestly.. the view also makes doing super charge runs easier.. and its so massive...harely moves and never gets flipped around.. (after i got fliped 180 into the star and dropped out 2x in a row in my conda, i was.. a bit upset.. went out to see if could do it in another ship... asp exp.. it was worse but i managed to get charged and get the fuck out... but, bearly, then tried the 10 because...why not.. and..it and the cuter...just shrug off that turbulance not that i hate the conda, just.. wasnt a ship i used once got the others.. like...ever...no desire... so.. i sold it... (and a few others i never used...)
There a quite a few instances of T-Tail freighters in modern aircraft designs. IL-76, 727, C-17 Globemaster to name a few. While it is common place to name things after what we are familiar with, i.e GT style wings for automotive applications. Looking at aeronautical examples the atmospheric characteristics of the tail design are not as ridiculous as you might think. Lift versus downforce are the main differences here. Granted it is a space game with very little atmospheric effect, and granted this incorrect reference to car "spoilers'" is on almost every T10 video I have watched, that makes it no less annoying to hear. Rant over, thank you for your content, I do like your product.
T10 every time :-) conda is everywhere and everyone owns one making you 1 of many...t10 is rare and in my eyes far more fun to fly....conda has too small a fuel tank to make it better explorer than dbx or asp.....both of which I prefer to conda....t10 can kill anything that is stupid enough to get in front of it and if you engineer shield for resitances it's shields are stronger than you think...it can also be a real hull tank...conda might be the most common ship in space but go for t10 it's better....apart from crappy flappy wings and spoiler but the are just cosmetic.....I think it should come up as t9 when scanned making the unwary pirate rue the day they interdicted you...the conda hull mass is the same as fas so it's a light big ship...probably full of empty space for cargo it is a armed cargo ship.....if potential is what you want avoid both and go for python it's the most versatile ship in he game :-) I've also never been destroyed by conda when in a t10 but destroyed a lot
Type-10 is the best mining ship ever imho. Good explorer too if you don’t mind the short jump range. Playing in VR the Conda is a pain if you want to have a look around outside, Type-10 gives a perfect view.
Travel and exploration are two different things. A 70yr Anaconda pig in supercruise is good for travel, not good for exploration since you can't turn well to scan. BALUGA can turn on a dime to scan and jump @44ly. That's a good exploration ship. Anaconda, that's good for passengers. FDEV has a bad sense of humor.
yes, the anaconda is multi-purpose, but if you need to bring down hail from all the guns, this is the t-10, definitely. While the universal anaconda build can do little against serious opponents. And if we take into account the fully combat fit of these two ships, then I have no doubt that the T10 will wipe the anaconda into dust my ship has always been and will be - T-10.
I would definitely opt for the Anaconda first. It has better maneuverability, and a MUCH better jump range due to the freakishly low hull mass. While the type 10 has a little more firepower, its slow, lumbering, and kind of a one-trick pony.
Great Video dude!! Trying to decide right now...gonna go with Conda first, as I want a big exploring option. Will do Some more Pain/Core mining & get Type 10 later. 👌
Type 10 is great for just being lazy and bashing the crap out of pirates on "fire at will" While armour + shield tanked and engineered to max. I also like to tend to climb in the fighter and just let it do it's thing. :D It is one of the few ships where you can both mine and defend very well. Even while having a few stacked bounty missions. Basically do mining in hi-sec rez or hotspots and every now and again exit and respawn. Kill pirates.. mine some more. do it again. Just remember those shield cells and boosters if using the big slot for cargo! Also avoiding interdiction is a no fear thing really. Just sys and engines to max, boost and hit the LW FSD again.. as nothing can mass lock it easily (except maybe a beluga? or swarm of ships? never experienced ML in a T10 or T9 when doing cargo runs either for that matter)
If you want a ship that can do most things fairly well, get the Type-10. If you want a ship that's great at everything, get the "Conda. As for which would win pvp, assuming equal player ability and engineering, the "Conda stomps all over the 10. Yes, the 10 has more and better armor, but it's too slow and not maneuverable enough to ram the "Conda if the pilot is even slightly competent, and it can't focus fire. Like, at all. A battle would be the 10 coming very close to almost getting a good shot at the "Conda, before the "Conda plants itself in a blind spot, pops chaff (because good luck using a 10 with fixed mounts) and pummels the 10 into dust. The one area where the Type-10 might have an advantage is in very lazy PvE battles, because you can deploy turrets and go make some coffee or something, and whatever was attacking you will probably be dead by the time you're back.
The Anaconda has a Mass lock factor of 23, only the Corvette (24) T10 (26) and Cutter (27) have a higher rating. Might want to do some better research in future videos.
Can I tank a lot of damage in the high intensity conflict zones? I have the anaconda and it's not fully engineered but I have very good shield, the problem is when I have my shields down I get destroyed pretty easily.. And I don't like it from that point, everything is just fine.. Thank you
My shields and shield boosters are all grade 5 giving me over 3000 total strength, and I only have two class 4 engineered shield cell banks for emergencies - and I have to say nothing in PvE has gotten through, or even come close to getting through my shields in a long time - nor do I use the scb's very often. I know on the Cutter and Corvette you can go a lot higher than that, but for PvE that is plenty provided you have other supporting upgrades. I Once I had engineered my power distributor & weapons properly I found that having 3 pips to system constantly & managing the rest between weapons and engines meant even wings of large, powerful ships couldn't do much to me before I could wipe them out. However if you are having trouble, fit some hull and module reinforcements (preferably engineered) and engineered armor - I haven't engineered my armor as yet, next on the list.
Matthew Sharpe The problem is I haven't unlocked all the engineers yet.. My next goal is to eng. My shields... But about what u did with those shields is amazing dude.. Appreciate the help)
Yeah, some of the engineers are a hell of a grind, and some of them are a bit useless but you still have to grind through them to get introduced to the useful ones! Good luck!
Місяць тому
Conda is queen, T-10 king. First one is girl, second boy. ;) Must have both as pair. 😂
Anaconda has a 23 mass lock factor.. ain't THE biggest, but it's among the biggest.. Why do you say it's low??? and isn't a minor factor anyway, like if you high wake, you're not affected at all by mass lock?
a type 10 will beat anaconda! type 10 is the ship i fear the most, they BEASTS i can not get the hull to go down before i know it the sheilds are back up! and im been blasted by 100s of guns
Fairly new to the game but have been engineering up a fully A rated type 10, corvette, And cutter and Anaconda. I have dropped roughly $590m into each, a bit less into the Anaconda. I have zero pvp purpose in mind for any of these ships, so that should be noted. As to which I fly the most… it’s mostly the type 10. My 10 does not haul anything but a lead farm. All the “bits” I need for engineering is gathered from wreckage of ships left in the wake of the 10. Honestly, the only thing the other 3 have on the 10 in any significant way, is agility in super cruise. Dirty drive those thrusters and strip down on all major components for weight reduction, and it dances and turns on a dime. Once you get the hang of flying it, trade your turrets in for gimbles. Or don’t. Frankly I love that the small fighters race through a storm of lead trying to get around behind me as their shields evaporate only to pop like ticks by the rear fuselage turret. As for the spoiler and wings…. And I see this A TON…. You mention in detail the weight factor of this beast. Now think about that weight trying to land on any planet with any gravity and Or atmosphere. The wings and spoilers keep it from slamming into the planet like a meteor. Without them, it would have to borrow thrusters from a mega ship.
HA! I bought both! Well, I bought 2 Anacondas, and 1 Type-10. One for exploration, the other for combat, and the Type-10 as its pitiful purpose of anti-xeno.
@@SRN42069 Firstly, I did a shit ton of trade when I started, which honestly... I was Elite within... oh... a few months? Deliveries I hardly touched, for some reason. However, I stuck with the source and returns, and every now and then had a few friends hit me up on a 50 million reward. After that? Probably 95% of my net income was literally from LTD and Void Opal mining (before the economy update). I was also smart with my money, and spent only as much as I could get with the highest discount... and seeing as how I was Elite in trade for who knows how long... was able to get into Jameson Memorial and get everything at a huge discount. Sure, its quite minor, but every few million credits you can save adds up, especially when you went out of your own way to literally A rate a Cutter and give it the best possible engineering you could possibly afford. Probably a good... 4%-ish of my net income was from doing passenger runs from Sirius and Robigo. The rest speaks for itself... So lemmie be specific... I have almost 7.5 billion credits in total assets (ships, modules, weapons, and whats currently in my "bank"). I have a Cutter I call the "Renommee" I used primarily for trade runs, but I also have outfits for it to do mining, and I also have it capable of doing some PvE and PvP if I swap out a few modules and add a few weapons. This ship basically in PvE or PvP is A rated and... well... its value is almost 500 million as it is right now, seeing as how I probably spent roughly 1 billion on it alone. My very first large ship, an Anaconda called the "Executioner" I outfitted at first for trade, but then "upgraded" back down to a Type-7, for the fact of a shield generator and 300 tons of cargo, whereas the Anaconda could do more... it couldn't hold a big enough shield without going below 300. So currently, its outfitted for PvE and/or PvP, and I have it available to do mining as well (would say trade, but that's what I have my Cutter for now). The Executioner is worth 516 million (more than my Cutter currently, but that's because of what is currently on them). My Federal Corvette, my very first of the superpower locked ships I call the "Devastator" is worth just shy of 1 million of 600 million credit total value. And it? Outfitted for straight combat, wielding two (if I recall correctly) 7B shield cell banks and a Prismatic shield. When my shields get a little low, I activate both banks at the same time, and use my heat sinks/ Thermal vent beams to keep the heat down. It also has a huge friggin fighter bay, capable of launching two at the same time (if one fighter dies, I simply launch another immediately, and my NPC is right back into the fight). My Type-10 Defender I call the "Demolisher" is worth 633 million credits, and its only role is anti-scouts. My second Anaconda I recently purchased called the "Expedition" is quite literally, just for exploration, and its 225 million in value. I also have a FDL at 117 million value, a Beluga at 172 million, a Challenger at 92 million... after that, the rest of my ships are valued less than 90 million, the lowest being 2.7 million, my Viper 3 I designed specifically of going fast (really friggin fast, but not fast enough imo... still need to engineer its thrust more). In total, I have 21 ships, two of which are Anacondas. So... I own almost all the ships, and the only reason why I havent gone out of my way to get the others? Well... I've no reason to. Why get a hauler or an adder for trade, if I have a cutter? I could go smaller, but thats where my Python comes in. If I needed something for combat, specifically PvE or PvP, I have a Corvette, Cutter, and an Anaconda I could use. Exploration? I already have a long distance Diamondback Explorer for that, and another Anaconda for the more closer or exploration that requires cargo space. So it boils down to this: My Corvette for combat, my Cutter for trade/mining, and my Diamondback Explorer for exploration. That being said, I honestly don't need anything else. So as to answer your question: A shit ton of trade (source and returns) and a shit ton of mining Void Opals and LTD's.
@@SRN42069 You can also use the road to riches tool online to scan a ton of water worlds and earth likes. It's about 20 mil an hour roughly and guarantees elite in exploration which gives you access to founders world and a great discount on everything.
FDevs said that there must be so-so ships to sell good ones better. Type10 exists with only one purpose: to force you to stay in the game longer grinding Federation or Empire ranks to purchase Corvette or Cutter. I personally never thought I have to try T10. It’s just useless.
strongly disagree, the 10's a blast for combat, and great for mining... well if you give it some eng love anyway... by default... i find most if not all of the ships..underwhelming... the 10 with proper eng... is my favorite ship for combat and mining.. and i own the vette, cutter, etc... the 10 was SHIT when it launched though... the same distro as the type9... with so much more weapon capacity... its like the people who came up with the thing didnt actually test it.. anyway.. i was anti-10 and sold the first one i got right away... the distro was just too shit.. but a buddy was needing to get into a large ship, i had plenty extra to buy and outfit a 10... and give it a proper test after they upgraded the distro... well... it worked out great... far better then i expected... the 2 small and bottom medium mounts are GREAT for railguns.. the triangle they form is...PERFECT... so easy to land all 3 even on smaller targets...if you cornhole a cutter/vette/conda/10 with 3 super pen railguns...they tend to stop moving... like dead in the water... its...quite fun... another fun build is 3 packhount racks, and a mix of long range burst and efficient beams on the large mounts.. corrosive MC on the small.. the packhounts are.. quite amusing... i have made more then a few people cry uncle just using them to cause the person to over heat so bad that trying to get away was gonna kill them..... LOL....(when somebody pops their shield banks and gets hit by those...well...i have seen them lose quite alot of cargo..and even endup unable to jump without doing multi reboots... if its a human...i tend to be too nice and let them escape heavily damaged... sort of a "leave me the fuck alone.. i could have ended you without firing another weapon... kept you from being able to jump out.. mass locks a bitch... but i let you go... just f-off...leave people alone" the 10 is a ship that needs proper eng work, and you need to get comfortable toggling FA off, but..it can also be a very rewarding ship as well... it easily is able to sit in a conflict zone farming components for hours, i have ended many wars/conflicts and ended up....feeling depressed i lost my fun... btw...when you load it with some shard cannons for close range.... combine with ramming... most enemies endup with shield issues..then..hull issues... the things a "flying fortress"... now... i would understand if people said they preferred the vette or cutter but... the conda is just.. meh to me... and got sold for that reason.
sold my conda after finding, even with eng, that its loaded cap, not taking a pure exp loadout, wasnt much better, and, the cocpit on the conda sucks.. also... the 10...is just beast mode for combat.. yes it needs eng, they all do, but, if you are trying to chose a ship for long term enjoyment, i find the 10 is even more enjoyable then the cutter or vette, the 10 is def easier to land on planets with then the vette.. as odd as that sounds, even to me... and, you can get upwards of 40ly with the thing loaded to do combat/cargo/exploration, i often will just take it for a trip and grab a bunch of rare comodities and then go back home to ix to sell it..(or drop it so a friend whos new to the game can get into a decent starter ship.)
pfft.... properly eng on it, and its a beast, conda vs 10..i will take my type 10 for combat any time... fully loaded out to go "bear hunting and farming components" my jump range is actually slightly better.... properly outfit the 10 is a blast... one tip, the 2 small and bottom medium, can all take a railgun, and form a triangle that you can land all 3 on most ships very easily... i have caused more then one conda, cutter, vette to fully stop moving from a single 3 penetrator railguns right up their arse...just...no more go-go for them... real people and npc... the 10 is alot of fun if you set it up correctly... its also better for mining then the conda, the 9 can be a good miner but, its distro is shit so... you gotta watch that... (Sold mine, sold the type10 when it first launched, it had a type9's distro... they upgraded that and i decided to buy it again to test since a buddy needed to get into a large ship and well...the 10 went from "total fucking joke" to "oh....i like this, it can be brutal" then i fully enged it up and... yeah... its alot of fun... the spoiler is silly but... meh, could be explained away as needed for atmo landings when they eventually add that.... i have all the big ships, other then the conda, i sold it back after stripping all the enged parts, just... not a big fan.. the way i outfit..its jump range wasnt any better then the 10, in the end, i just decided i never used the conda, didnt care for its cockpit, once you get the hang of it... the 10 is a blast... fa-off makes doing flips alot more... fun... "wana ride the vomit commit??" the cutter, 10 and vette are my favorite large ships...for medium... krait mkII for general use, krait phantom for long range exploration or just jumping around to collect materials... with boosters i think it was able to match or beat the conda jump range.... and is alot more pleasant to pilot ;) the 10 needs NEEDS eng though to be worthy of "this things a blast" status... a mix of turrets and fixed/gimbles seems to work best... also you an do a stupidly fun ramming build with shard cannons/flak cannons... like being rammed as you get shot with a bunch of shotguns.. ;)
This us easy, Anaconda or the Type 10?? The answer is Hauler I've got mine up to 53ly, now my conda is up to 78ly but my conda rebuy isn't 148,000Cr though is it. 🤣 Actually, for me the Type 10 is totally redundant now. I have no use for it as I have better options for any activity.
How the fuck does a t10 outdamage vette ,cutter,or conda....for a start cutter has no small hardpoints,secondly vette has 2 huge hardpoints stop talking shit t10 is garbage it's only good for turrets=fail
eeesh, very unprepared information and very little in the realm of the esoteric...pretty much just sums up with ‘I like this better’....hardly objectively useful to others.
lol this video has to be a troll video. Anaconda is way better and who gives a shit about hull tank.Thats practically useless. If you lose shields you leave no matter what. Also you say the mass lock is bad in conda but it will only get mass locked by like 1 ship out of all of them.
Craig VanArsdel Hull Tanking is a pretty common practice in Elite. If your shields get popped and you make the immediate decision to bail because you're afraid your hull can't hold up, then your ship is not even good at that point, it's important to have a balance of both type of defenses. I also get the feeling you don't play the game enough. The Anaconda is mass locked by three ships (not counting Thargoid Interceptor), not one: Cutter, Type-10, and Corvette, two of which that are capable of chasing down an Anaconda. And before you call me out as a fanboy of a Type-10, I use a Corvette as my main ship, but I intend to use a Type-10 for variety. It's fantastic for certain roles, but that doesn't mean it's better than an Anaconda.
meh something ok i said by like 1 ship not 100 percent 1 ship so 3 big deal. I fly conda more than anything and ive never been mass liked by another ship and i know hull tanking is a thing but for rhe most part unless youre an agile ship if you lose your shields and if they still have theirs then you are most likely going to lose. But yeah i dont play very much . Just my in game time played says 7weeks 6 days and 50 hours
meh something if corvette or type 10 had better jump range than id agree with the mass lock thing but you rarely get interdicted by one. I guess it would happen in combat zones but i rarely see 10s or cutters. I do fly the corvette in serious combat so thats why i havent been mass locked during combat for the most part. If your not a fan boy then give an even review of ships. Even if you picked conda at the end it sounded like you had a gun to the back of your head. It would have bugged me less if ypu would have ended it saying pick the 10 cuz it would have fit your tone
If you are noob don´t should buy a huge ship never ever. Is awesome how many noobs are flying in expensive ships now and doing combat logg all time. Why not learn to fly first? They are destroying this game. It´s my opinion.
I've played for ages, but I'm still a shit combat pilot - just don't have the nerves or reactions for it. I can manuver my Anaconda around (actually they fly like a much smaller ship once you grade 5 dirty drive them), and I can fight OK PvE because I know nothing is going to get through my shields, but PvP I suck and always will - I would never combat log though, just run like a coward or accept the rebuy.
I just high-wake as far as I can - most gankers/griefers are flying FDL's etc which can't jump very far so they can't really follow you if you jump over 25ly. It doesn't happen very often anyway, I guess if I was doing CG's it'd be a different matter but I tend to just do my own thing.
Dude the only diference between open and solo is the posibility to be interdicted by a CMDR. It make the experience interested. i can´t see the meaning to play in open just for say "07" to the people. The problem is not who attack CMDRs, is who do cheats as combat logg. Is´t kill the inmersion. Because that i saw, an expensive ship is a bad choice for noobs, who don´t know about hightwake.

With 2 type 10s, 5 Anacondas plus a clipper, you can form Voltron.
5? the last one will be between his legs?
@@milogieg1134😂
I've flown both of these ships for a long time now, and on balance I prefer the Type 10. But it's more personal preference because of the way I've set mine up. There are a few things to note, though:
The Anaconda
- It's a more beginner friendly ship because of it's better maneuverability. Compared to the T10 you can throw it around more and it's more forgiving of mistakes.
- The hardpoint placement is better overall. They're closer together and easier to get all your guns on target for more of the time.
- The Class 8 Power Distributor gives you more freedom in terms of using a charge hungry loadout.
- The number and type of Optional module slots makes it the best passenger ship in the game.
- Although it has less Hull Hardness than the Type 10, it can fit substantially more Hull Reinforcement, negating a lot of the difference while maintaining more maneuverability.
The Type 10
- It can outdamage every other ship in the game quite substantially IF you can get all your weapons on target. It has more DPS potential than the Conda, Corvette and Cutter. The lack of a Class 4 hardpoint shouldn't put people off, because having one extra hardpoint, and the composition of the ones it has, means that in terms of numbers it can put out more damage.
- You have to fly it the way it wants to be flown, and not the way you're used to flying other ships. That's one of the hardest things to get to grips with. In terms of maneuverability it's somewhere between the Conda and the Cutter, but if you have good positional awareness and can use FA off, it's not really harder to fly, in my opinion. Although I would say it is more advanced than the Conda in that you have to think a bit further ahead.
- The cockpit has much better visibility. Comparible to an Asp Explorer.
- Being able to fit Class 8 shields compared to the Conda's Class 7 means it can make an excellent shield tank due to the ferocious recharge rate of Class 8 Bi-Weave shields. My setup at the moment uses very little structural reinforcement because it just doesn't need it.
- It makes a better cargo hauler because it can carry more, in terms of tonnage, than the Conda. Unshielded the Type 10 can carry 532 tons compared to the Conda's 468, and shielded the Type 10 can carry 468 tons compared to the Conda's 452. Add to that a higher mass lock factor making it easier to get away if you get interdicted because bigger ships won't be able to stop you, and higher hull hardness, it's very viable for a trading ship.
- It has very good base heat efficiency, and when fully engineered can make an extremely fun stealth ship.
- Depending on your setup, 90% of the time it will be cheaper to both buy and outfit than the Anaconda, meaning less Rebuy.
There isn't a big enough difference between all of the big ships to make using one over the other more than a matter of personal preference based on how you fly. All of them have strengths in one or more areas, and weaknesses in others. But in my opinion, unless you're using it for exploring, or long range mission running, you can't go wrong with a Type 10.
Kaethena I agree with most of your points. And the type 10 does have more cargo. My fault.. However, I feel like because of the jump range the Anaconda is better off as a trader regardless of the few extra cargo. (because it's not that much more) and a Huge hardpoint can be much more significant than the large. Especially when you engineer it. other than that I think you make very valid points. thanks for the view!
Kaethena spot on!!! Wow, another Type 10 fanatic (we are a rare species) I love my Type 10 it is the ultimate flying tank. I've got gd 5 Reactive armor, gd 5 HD HRPs and a couple of MRPs too. I love flying the 10 far more than the Anaconda, all I need to do now is get used to FA off because you say it makes the 10 even better. I love the fact I can just sit the 10 in the middle of a CZ and be attacked from all angles and just not care. The shields go down (Biweave gd5 thermal plus Boosters Resistance and HD) and in any other ship you'd retreat ASAP, not in the 10 haha!!! I can just sit there and depend on all the armor to keep me alive. The only issue is the slightly dodgy Supercruise handling haha!!! o7 Commander!!!
Kaethena damn son that was an in depth analysis. I enjoyed reading though... As a person who loved my type 9 battle cow, the type 10 was a no brainer for me. I have been having so much fun with it. I love everything about it. Hell even the spoilers cause they provoke people hahaha... Super awesome cockpit view as with all Lakon ships. Evil evil turbine engine sound. Anyway mine is maxed out with engineers. 1800 bi weave shields. Engines. Hull like everything. I don’t do PVP but mostly pve and missions. But if I did get attacked now and then by players I absolutely NUKED the crap out of them... my weapons set up was. 8 torpedoes with shield buster upgrade(forgot the name lol) 2x small torpedoes. 3x medeium torpedo = 8 torpedoes. And the 4 large hardpoints were Packhounds... Any small ship would get nuked with one pull on the trigger. Any big ship would get blasted to pieces also... Now I bought the corvette. And I think that is a cool ship too. But I kinda miss my type 10 now. Better jump range and cockpit view. And better hardpoints in my opinion. Plus I call my type 10 for “Mad Cow Syndrome “ haha😆 The type 10 is just such a cool ship in my opinion. I am literally afraid of no one when I fly it. I’m like son if you try some shit one me you get THE HORNS! Hahaha
Planning to use mine for exploring, got a build that takes me to 47ly I think unladen
you did more with this comment than the entire video did lmao
I mine with a type 10. Makes me feel safe.
I found the Corvette was a very good mining ship more agile then my Python. The only real problem I suffered from was getting bored of filling up the cargo space 3* size 7 cargo. So built a mining Krait Mk2.
Same, very defence capable, with all the mining toys
Type 10 is a AX combat ship on paper but many players have found that in practice , it doesnt do that well with Thargoids . But the armor means it can still take the beating and escape .
Massacre missions is what it can do well at .
I bought an anaconda and sold it. Believe it or not I started fighting in a type 9 LMAO! Fighting was a necessity to defend my LTD selling trips. I liked it and was successful at beating back if not destroying hostel ships so I moved to the T10. Just last night I ran into someone that ganked me when I first started playing. I pull up with my type 10. The first thing out his mouth is, "so when are you going to get a combat ship"? I said my ship is fine and I'm happy the way it is! He's like " want to test it? " he thought so little of the type 10 that he engaged me with a diamondback with no Shield! He might have been doing the Silent Running trick but it didn't matter, as I was running emulsive. After a while he started asking what weapons I was using. Because I use FA off and turreted pulse lasers he was never truly able to get out of the line of fire. Then when he thought he was about to BREAK my shield (using PA's) he watched helplessly as they recharged completely! Scramble Spectrum and three Seeker missiles were doing a number on his ship AND external modules! At 22% he Taps out while my ship was untouched with full shield! Not saying I'm the best or anything special but THAT'S how you represent for the TYPE-10😁
ED puts out atmospheric landings
ED community screams we can't fly these rocks we need spoilers
The view from the cockpit of the Type 10 is one of the best in the game; if you play in VR, it's very cool. Multipurpose, the Anaconda rocks, but if you are mostly doing trading, The Type 10. Another thing about the Type 10, doing landings is difficult because of the mass of the ship; it takes time to fine a suitable place to land versus the Anaconda.
Type 10 for combat is awesome!
Anaconda jump un-engineered is around 17-18Ly, Engineered is 70Ly. Great video
Thanks man. :) Cheers!
I managed to make max 60, don't know what people are talkign about.... Can you send me ship configuration on coriolis.io? After meeting Engineer and making improvements obviously.
If you look up elite dangerous anaconda explorer builds 70ly you'll find it. But its basically stripping down everything possible weight(mass)-wise for max jump. If your at 60ly and you have everything in your ship you want you should stick with that.
Happy flying commander
@@MrWinotu look up the build CMDR Minikill did for a jumpaconda.
Ghost Giraffe covered on it (in a somewhat amusing way)
The type 10 after upgrading runs about 470 million. That's roughly 25 million insurance costs.
3:03 When you do a comparison video, why not look it up beforehand so you have the actual numbers ready? -> Credibility +100
The Defender looks like an 80s transformer.. in vehicle form. I love it!
Both, the answer is both. Get them all. It's about the garage, not the parkingspot
Thanks for another great video. The only thing the Type 10 has going for it against the Anaconda is it's heat displacement, you can keep orbiting a star and it's very hard to overheat, if it could get a jump range of about 50ly instead of it's 35ly then it would make a decent explorer.
Buzzard Brother yeah. Unfortunately it would need a class 10 fsd with that amount of mass! Thanks for the view CMDR.
And the cargo
As a person who absolutely loved the type 9. I used for trading and combat. So the type 10 was 😍😍😍 for me. Now I have the corvette. I love it. But I miss my type 10. Best cockpit view also. The type 10 is very slow in supercruise though. And you need to learn flight assist off when in combat.
kubel83 sounds awesome dude! I always enjoy flying a less used ship over something thst I know would be better. Right now I'm flying the killer whale beluga setup, which always is hilarious to me.
MT Major hahah nice! I do the exactly same thing. I love making builds out of ships people don’t expect... I never attack people but I love when gankers jump me only to get a scare and run for the money... My other war ship is a Berluga also. Torpedo boat with packhounds. 700 mj bi weave shields. And 410 in boost speed. When gankers jump me they get nuked. I call my Berluga for “DAS BOOT” from that old German submarine WW2 movie hahaha.
Got a krait maxed and a fdl, i was thinking about a type 10, i just love the design, but conda on the paper is just wow
Type has more cargo potential and conda has more jump potential. If combat take your pick. If trading type is better and if exploring then conda
Type 10 cargo space should be 2 times what it is given it weighs 3 times more than the anaconda yet they have very close cargo spaces.
Weight =/= volume...
I just got an anaconda but both seem very strong. Due to the type 10’s slow speed in a PvP situation of even skill the anaconda might have a bit of an edge. For pve both are very viable. I always find it entertaining when I see someone fly a type 10 out of the mail slot since the type 10 is almost as wide as the mail slot. I almost got destroyed leaving a station once because a CMDR was inpatient in his type 10 and boosted me out of the way. I was left with 20% hull and no shields and he barely had damage to his shields ( I was in a python ).
Good ole space cows
Always yield for the higher tonnage.
If of equal tonnage, YIELD TO NONE
I literally flattened a poor person in a cobra. They were coming in the very top of the slot, and I rose from below so they didn't see me, and them boosted once I knew I was in the right spot. I didn't even feel or notice a thing, but the cobra was just gone, and on my way out of the station ripped me apart and I ate a rebuy. I had no idea what had happened until a friend who was waiting to leave after me and saw everything told me. I almost escaped the stations guns too, if I'd realized it and started popping shield banks I would have made it clear. She's thick, but that ship can get the absolute snot kicked out of it and still limp home.
Anaconda got it for couple of months it's not the perfection but when i hear ppl saying corvette is the best that's true only in conflict zones when you have to fight in one to one Anaconda is more proper and have one hard point and optional modules that's very useful so im not sure to buy corvette or t10
The spoiler is a part of the type 10
It like the developers played need for speed with an type 9 while designing the type 10
as with anything in the game, the only thing that really matters is looks. U want the star trek t10, a-cowboy-bebop -conda, the star bore's 'vette or one of Boeing's various imperial craft? Personally I like the 'conda, but the t10 is confirmed thicc
Get them both, that is the Elite way. However you will the end up with several Condas (Cargo conda, jumpa conda, combat conda) and probably just one Type 10.
Type 10 defender is my favourite ship
Same
Got mine to 9200 hull and 2000 Shields
Type 10 looks like a transformer with the red and white paint job
Ive bought the anaconda twice now.
But both times i ended up selling it and going back to python.
All the extra missions i thought i could do by having a conda were now unavailable as my ship was too big!!
Only upside of conda for me was decent in combat and cargo hauling.
I actually regret selling my conda now.
But iam about to buy the corvette instead.
And iam keeping it.
PREZZER UK I love my type 9 for hauling, i can get 752 tons of transport space in my space tractor trailer.
0:57 what kit is that? I love the wings/fins and would like them for my condy.
I want a type 10 for some reason the conda is better but the type 10 is appealing to me for some reason please change my mind before I make a financial mistake.
Not gonna lie, I giggled for a good 30 seconds about the Type-10 with the ID tag of "MUUUUH."
try to put 9 cannons with force shell modification to your type-10 and watch how conda is being shifted into an asteroid 5 km away :)
Its combersome but the view actually makes it easier to fly in some respects.
once you eng it, you will find its not nearly as bad, and, honestly.. its so much fun to just combat tank the shit out of conflict zones and farm mats as you do it... (the 10 is far better for this then the cutter or vette for one reason, you can put its flat side between what you are colllecting and any combat to protect your limpets, far more effectivly then the cutter and vette can. )
i hated the 10 when it came out, rebought like 6mo later after reading some up on it and..damn.. grabbed it to test(already owned by vette and cutter...never really use my vette anymore..)
and well. honestly i fell in love with it...
and, personally i found it far more fun to take it out to the guardian ruins then the explorer ships or something like the conda that.. honestly.. the view also makes doing super charge runs easier.. and its so massive...harely moves and never gets flipped around.. (after i got fliped 180 into the star and dropped out 2x in a row in my conda, i was.. a bit upset.. went out to see if could do it in another ship... asp exp.. it was worse but i managed to get charged and get the fuck out... but, bearly, then tried the 10 because...why not.. and..it and the cuter...just shrug off that turbulance
not that i hate the conda, just.. wasnt a ship i used once got the others.. like...ever...no desire... so.. i sold it... (and a few others i never used...)
There a quite a few instances of T-Tail freighters in modern aircraft designs. IL-76, 727, C-17 Globemaster to name a few. While it is common place to name things after what we are familiar with, i.e GT style wings for automotive applications. Looking at aeronautical examples the atmospheric characteristics of the tail design are not as ridiculous as you might think. Lift versus downforce are the main differences here. Granted it is a space game with very little atmospheric effect, and granted this incorrect reference to car "spoilers'" is on almost every T10 video I have watched, that makes it no less annoying to hear. Rant over, thank you for your content, I do like your product.
Thanks for your insightfull reply. :)
Hint AIRcraft. Not space craft.
T10 every time :-) conda is everywhere and everyone owns one making you 1 of many...t10 is rare and in my eyes far more fun to fly....conda has too small a fuel tank to make it better explorer than dbx or asp.....both of which I prefer to conda....t10 can kill anything that is stupid enough to get in front of it and if you engineer shield for resitances it's shields are stronger than you think...it can also be a real hull tank...conda might be the most common ship in space but go for t10 it's better....apart from crappy flappy wings and spoiler but the are just cosmetic.....I think it should come up as t9 when scanned making the unwary pirate rue the day they interdicted you...the conda hull mass is the same as fas so it's a light big ship...probably full of empty space for cargo it is a armed cargo ship.....if potential is what you want avoid both and go for python it's the most versatile ship in he game :-) I've also never been destroyed by conda when in a t10 but destroyed a lot
I fly anaconda, because it can do everything at once better and cheaper than type 10
My T10 has 9200 hull and 2000 shields
Type-10 is the best mining ship ever imho. Good explorer too if you don’t mind the short jump range. Playing in VR the Conda is a pain if you want to have a look around outside, Type-10 gives a perfect view.
I don't think having a short jump range is good for exploring
Travel and exploration are two different things. A 70yr Anaconda pig in supercruise is good for travel, not good for exploration since you can't turn well to scan.
BALUGA can turn on a dime to scan and jump @44ly. That's a good exploration ship.
Anaconda, that's good for passengers. FDEV has a bad sense of humor.
yes, the anaconda is multi-purpose, but if you need to bring down hail from all the guns, this is the t-10, definitely. While the universal anaconda build can do little against serious opponents. And if we take into account the fully combat fit of these two ships, then I have no doubt that the T10 will wipe the anaconda into dust
my ship has always been and will be - T-10.
I would definitely opt for the Anaconda first. It has better maneuverability, and a MUCH better jump range due to the freakishly low hull mass. While the type 10 has a little more firepower, its slow, lumbering, and kind of a one-trick pony.
Worth maneuverability with anaconda i tried
Great Video dude!! Trying to decide right now...gonna go with Conda first, as I want a big exploring option. Will do Some more Pain/Core mining & get Type 10 later. 👌
I like the spoiler on the Type 10 :P
Get both.
Thanks for this the type 10 has been trashed so hard for its looks
ZenAir Zulu I love how it looks. Reminds me of the aesthetic of the Nostromo from Alien
So armor weight doesn't contribute to mass lock
I went for the type 10 Defender because the anaconda is generic and boring, if I wanted a star Destroyer I'll get the federal Corvette.
Where do buy the ships
Type 10 is great for just being lazy and bashing the crap out of pirates on "fire at will" While armour + shield tanked and engineered to max. I also like to tend to climb in the fighter and just let it do it's thing. :D It is one of the few ships where you can both mine and defend very well. Even while having a few stacked bounty missions. Basically do mining in hi-sec rez or hotspots and every now and again exit and respawn. Kill pirates.. mine some more. do it again. Just remember those shield cells and boosters if using the big slot for cargo!
Also avoiding interdiction is a no fear thing really. Just sys and engines to max, boost and hit the LW FSD again.. as nothing can mass lock it easily (except maybe a beluga? or swarm of ships? never experienced ML in a T10 or T9 when doing cargo runs either for that matter)
If you want a ship that can do most things fairly well, get the Type-10. If you want a ship that's great at everything, get the "Conda.
As for which would win pvp, assuming equal player ability and engineering, the "Conda stomps all over the 10. Yes, the 10 has more and better armor, but it's too slow and not maneuverable enough to ram the "Conda if the pilot is even slightly competent, and it can't focus fire. Like, at all. A battle would be the 10 coming very close to almost getting a good shot at the "Conda, before the "Conda plants itself in a blind spot, pops chaff (because good luck using a 10 with fixed mounts) and pummels the 10 into dust. The one area where the Type-10 might have an advantage is in very lazy PvE battles, because you can deploy turrets and go make some coffee or something, and whatever was attacking you will probably be dead by the time you're back.
The Anaconda has a Mass lock factor of 23, only the Corvette (24) T10 (26) and Cutter (27) have a higher rating. Might want to do some better research in future videos.
Numenor3791 why? I wasn't wrong. What's you're point
Can I tank a lot of damage in the high intensity conflict zones? I have the anaconda and it's not fully engineered but I have very good shield, the problem is when I have my shields down I get destroyed pretty easily.. And I don't like it from that point, everything is just fine.. Thank you
Nihuss sh yeah exactly. The shields are very good on the conda but the integrity is just not that good as the type 10.
OK.. Thanks man) appreciate the reply)
My shields and shield boosters are all grade 5 giving me over 3000 total strength, and I only have two class 4 engineered shield cell banks for emergencies - and I have to say nothing in PvE has gotten through, or even come close to getting through my shields in a long time - nor do I use the scb's very often. I know on the Cutter and Corvette you can go a lot higher than that, but for PvE that is plenty provided you have other supporting upgrades. I Once I had engineered my power distributor & weapons properly I found that having 3 pips to system constantly & managing the rest between weapons and engines meant even wings of large, powerful ships couldn't do much to me before I could wipe them out. However if you are having trouble, fit some hull and module reinforcements (preferably engineered) and engineered armor - I haven't engineered my armor as yet, next on the list.
Matthew Sharpe The problem is I haven't unlocked all the engineers yet.. My next goal is to eng. My shields... But about what u did with those shields is amazing dude.. Appreciate the help)
Yeah, some of the engineers are a hell of a grind, and some of them are a bit useless but you still have to grind through them to get introduced to the useful ones! Good luck!
Conda is queen, T-10 king. First one is girl, second boy. ;) Must have both as pair. 😂
Anaconda has a 23 mass lock factor.. ain't THE biggest, but it's among the biggest.. Why do you say it's low??? and isn't a minor factor anyway, like if you high wake, you're not affected at all by mass lock?
Ill wait to see the new ship
a type 10 will beat anaconda! type 10 is the ship i fear the most, they BEASTS i can not get the hull to go down before i know it the sheilds are back up! and im been blasted by 100s of guns
T10 design is much cooler, from my pov. Gonna buy it soon.
Fairly new to the game but have been engineering up a fully A rated type 10, corvette, And cutter and Anaconda. I have dropped roughly $590m into each, a bit less into the Anaconda. I have zero pvp purpose in mind for any of these ships, so that should be noted. As to which I fly the most… it’s mostly the type 10. My 10 does not haul anything but a lead farm. All the “bits” I need for engineering is gathered from wreckage of ships left in the wake of the 10. Honestly, the only thing the other 3 have on the 10 in any significant way, is agility in super cruise. Dirty drive those thrusters and strip down on all major components for weight reduction, and it dances and turns on a dime. Once you get the hang of flying it, trade your turrets in for gimbles. Or don’t. Frankly I love that the small fighters race through a storm of lead trying to get around behind me as their shields evaporate only to pop like ticks by the rear fuselage turret. As for the spoiler and wings…. And I see this A TON…. You mention in detail the weight factor of this beast. Now think about that weight trying to land on any planet with any gravity and Or atmosphere. The wings and spoilers keep it from slamming into the planet like a meteor. Without them, it would have to borrow thrusters from a mega ship.
Hey nice video thanks for making more elite content for me to consume :D
HA! I bought both! Well, I bought 2 Anacondas, and 1 Type-10. One for exploration, the other for combat, and the Type-10 as its pitiful purpose of anti-xeno.
Were did you get the credits to buy all of that ?!?
@@SRN42069 Firstly, I did a shit ton of trade when I started, which honestly... I was Elite within... oh... a few months? Deliveries I hardly touched, for some reason. However, I stuck with the source and returns, and every now and then had a few friends hit me up on a 50 million reward. After that? Probably 95% of my net income was literally from LTD and Void Opal mining (before the economy update). I was also smart with my money, and spent only as much as I could get with the highest discount... and seeing as how I was Elite in trade for who knows how long... was able to get into Jameson Memorial and get everything at a huge discount. Sure, its quite minor, but every few million credits you can save adds up, especially when you went out of your own way to literally A rate a Cutter and give it the best possible engineering you could possibly afford. Probably a good... 4%-ish of my net income was from doing passenger runs from Sirius and Robigo. The rest speaks for itself...
So lemmie be specific... I have almost 7.5 billion credits in total assets (ships, modules, weapons, and whats currently in my "bank"). I have a Cutter I call the "Renommee" I used primarily for trade runs, but I also have outfits for it to do mining, and I also have it capable of doing some PvE and PvP if I swap out a few modules and add a few weapons. This ship basically in PvE or PvP is A rated and... well... its value is almost 500 million as it is right now, seeing as how I probably spent roughly 1 billion on it alone. My very first large ship, an Anaconda called the "Executioner" I outfitted at first for trade, but then "upgraded" back down to a Type-7, for the fact of a shield generator and 300 tons of cargo, whereas the Anaconda could do more... it couldn't hold a big enough shield without going below 300. So currently, its outfitted for PvE and/or PvP, and I have it available to do mining as well (would say trade, but that's what I have my Cutter for now). The Executioner is worth 516 million (more than my Cutter currently, but that's because of what is currently on them). My Federal Corvette, my very first of the superpower locked ships I call the "Devastator" is worth just shy of 1 million of 600 million credit total value. And it? Outfitted for straight combat, wielding two (if I recall correctly) 7B shield cell banks and a Prismatic shield. When my shields get a little low, I activate both banks at the same time, and use my heat sinks/ Thermal vent beams to keep the heat down. It also has a huge friggin fighter bay, capable of launching two at the same time (if one fighter dies, I simply launch another immediately, and my NPC is right back into the fight). My Type-10 Defender I call the "Demolisher" is worth 633 million credits, and its only role is anti-scouts. My second Anaconda I recently purchased called the "Expedition" is quite literally, just for exploration, and its 225 million in value.
I also have a FDL at 117 million value, a Beluga at 172 million, a Challenger at 92 million... after that, the rest of my ships are valued less than 90 million, the lowest being 2.7 million, my Viper 3 I designed specifically of going fast (really friggin fast, but not fast enough imo... still need to engineer its thrust more). In total, I have 21 ships, two of which are Anacondas. So... I own almost all the ships, and the only reason why I havent gone out of my way to get the others? Well... I've no reason to. Why get a hauler or an adder for trade, if I have a cutter? I could go smaller, but thats where my Python comes in. If I needed something for combat, specifically PvE or PvP, I have a Corvette, Cutter, and an Anaconda I could use. Exploration? I already have a long distance Diamondback Explorer for that, and another Anaconda for the more closer or exploration that requires cargo space. So it boils down to this: My Corvette for combat, my Cutter for trade/mining, and my Diamondback Explorer for exploration. That being said, I honestly don't need anything else.
So as to answer your question: A shit ton of trade (source and returns) and a shit ton of mining Void Opals and LTD's.

What the fuck kind of civics have been around you?!? I mean God damn for real a Civic??!!
Is this a trick question..?
FDevs said that there must be so-so ships to sell good ones better. Type10 exists with only one purpose: to force you to stay in the game longer grinding Federation or Empire ranks to purchase Corvette or Cutter. I personally never thought I have to try T10. It’s just useless.
strongly disagree, the 10's a blast for combat, and great for mining... well if you give it some eng love anyway... by default... i find most if not all of the ships..underwhelming... the 10 with proper eng... is my favorite ship for combat and mining.. and i own the vette, cutter, etc... the 10 was SHIT when it launched though... the same distro as the type9... with so much more weapon capacity... its like the people who came up with the thing didnt actually test it.. anyway.. i was anti-10 and sold the first one i got right away... the distro was just too shit.. but a buddy was needing to get into a large ship, i had plenty extra to buy and outfit a 10... and give it a proper test after they upgraded the distro... well... it worked out great... far better then i expected... the 2 small and bottom medium mounts are GREAT for railguns.. the triangle they form is...PERFECT... so easy to land all 3 even on smaller targets...if you cornhole a cutter/vette/conda/10 with 3 super pen railguns...they tend to stop moving... like dead in the water... its...quite fun... another fun build is 3 packhount racks, and a mix of long range burst and efficient beams on the large mounts.. corrosive MC on the small.. the packhounts are.. quite amusing... i have made more then a few people cry uncle just using them to cause the person to over heat so bad that trying to get away was gonna kill them..... LOL....(when somebody pops their shield banks and gets hit by those...well...i have seen them lose quite alot of cargo..and even endup unable to jump without doing multi reboots... if its a human...i tend to be too nice and let them escape heavily damaged... sort of a "leave me the fuck alone.. i could have ended you without firing another weapon... kept you from being able to jump out.. mass locks a bitch... but i let you go... just f-off...leave people alone"
the 10 is a ship that needs proper eng work, and you need to get comfortable toggling FA off, but..it can also be a very rewarding ship as well... it easily is able to sit in a conflict zone farming components for hours, i have ended many wars/conflicts and ended up....feeling depressed i lost my fun...
btw...when you load it with some shard cannons for close range.... combine with ramming... most enemies endup with shield issues..then..hull issues... the things a "flying fortress"...
now... i would understand if people said they preferred the vette or cutter but... the conda is just.. meh to me... and got sold for that reason.
Nowadays: T10 or Conda? Asking as a miner.
Type 10 for the cargo capacity but Conda has the jump range
Anaconda. How is this even a question?
sold my conda after finding, even with eng, that its loaded cap, not taking a pure exp loadout, wasnt much better, and, the cocpit on the conda sucks.. also... the 10...is just beast mode for combat.. yes it needs eng, they all do, but, if you are trying to chose a ship for long term enjoyment, i find the 10 is even more enjoyable then the cutter or vette, the 10 is def easier to land on planets with then the vette.. as odd as that sounds, even to me...
and, you can get upwards of 40ly with the thing loaded to do combat/cargo/exploration, i often will just take it for a trip and grab a bunch of rare comodities and then go back home to ix to sell it..(or drop it so a friend whos new to the game can get into a decent starter ship.)
Simple solution, GET BOTH. Thats what i did 😁😁
Is that even a serious question?
Silly ass question anaconda all the way the type 10 is a flying brick that sucks it's only made for being the soul tank for doing thyroids in a squad
pfft.... properly eng on it, and its a beast, conda vs 10..i will take my type 10 for combat any time... fully loaded out to go "bear hunting and farming components" my jump range is actually slightly better....
properly outfit the 10 is a blast...
one tip, the 2 small and bottom medium, can all take a railgun, and form a triangle that you can land all 3 on most ships very easily... i have caused more then one conda, cutter, vette to fully stop moving from a single 3 penetrator railguns right up their arse...just...no more go-go for them... real people and npc... the 10 is alot of fun if you set it up correctly... its also better for mining then the conda, the 9 can be a good miner but, its distro is shit so... you gotta watch that... (Sold mine, sold the type10 when it first launched, it had a type9's distro... they upgraded that and i decided to buy it again to test since a buddy needed to get into a large ship and well...the 10 went from "total fucking joke" to "oh....i like this, it can be brutal" then i fully enged it up and... yeah... its alot of fun... the spoiler is silly but... meh, could be explained away as needed for atmo landings when they eventually add that....
i have all the big ships, other then the conda, i sold it back after stripping all the enged parts, just... not a big fan.. the way i outfit..its jump range wasnt any better then the 10, in the end, i just decided i never used the conda, didnt care for its cockpit, once you get the hang of it... the 10 is a blast... fa-off makes doing flips alot more... fun... "wana ride the vomit commit??"
the cutter, 10 and vette are my favorite large ships...for medium... krait mkII for general use, krait phantom for long range exploration or just jumping around to collect materials... with boosters i think it was able to match or beat the conda jump range.... and is alot more pleasant to pilot ;)
the 10 needs NEEDS eng though to be worthy of "this things a blast" status... a mix of turrets and fixed/gimbles seems to work best... also you an do a stupidly fun ramming build with shard cannons/flak cannons... like being rammed as you get shot with a bunch of shotguns.. ;)
This us easy, Anaconda or the Type 10?? The answer is Hauler I've got mine up to 53ly, now my conda is up to 78ly but my conda rebuy isn't 148,000Cr though is it. 🤣 Actually, for me the Type 10 is totally redundant now. I have no use for it as I have better options for any activity.
30 Type 10s against thargoids... who will win?
Agree with the stupid spoiler. Lol @ type civic
I love the spoiler.
got both
Type 10, it has spoiler
Get out my Patreon!
Both :D
Type 10 for the memes
Anaconda is a better ship for doing multi roles at once for its outfitting price and overall potential than type 10
i bought booth
Anaconda for sure
A corvette
The Type 10 is one more than the Type 5.
How the fuck does a t10 outdamage vette ,cutter,or conda....for a start cutter has no small hardpoints,secondly vette has 2 huge hardpoints stop talking shit t10 is garbage it's only good for turrets=fail
eeesh, very unprepared information and very little in the realm of the esoteric...pretty much just sums up with ‘I like this better’....hardly objectively useful to others.
lol this video has to be a troll video. Anaconda is way better and who gives a shit about hull tank.Thats practically useless. If you lose shields you leave no matter what. Also you say the mass lock is bad in conda but it will only get mass locked by like 1 ship out of all of them.
Craig VanArsdel Hull Tanking is a pretty common practice in Elite. If your shields get popped and you make the immediate decision to bail because you're afraid your hull can't hold up, then your ship is not even good at that point, it's important to have a balance of both type of defenses.
I also get the feeling you don't play the game enough. The Anaconda is mass locked by three ships (not counting Thargoid Interceptor), not one: Cutter, Type-10, and Corvette, two of which that are capable of chasing down an Anaconda.
And before you call me out as a fanboy of a Type-10, I use a Corvette as my main ship, but I intend to use a Type-10 for variety. It's fantastic for certain roles, but that doesn't mean it's better than an Anaconda.
meh something ok i said by like 1 ship not 100 percent 1 ship so 3 big deal. I fly conda more than anything and ive never been mass liked by another ship and i know hull tanking is a thing but for rhe most part unless youre an agile ship if you lose your shields and if they still have theirs then you are most likely going to lose. But yeah i dont play very much . Just my in game time played says 7weeks 6 days and 50 hours
meh something if corvette or type 10 had better jump range than id agree with the mass lock thing but you rarely get interdicted by one. I guess it would happen in combat zones but i rarely see 10s or cutters. I do fly the corvette in serious combat so thats why i havent been mass locked during combat for the most part. If your not a fan boy then give an even review of ships. Even if you picked conda at the end it sounded like you had a gun to the back of your head. It would have bugged me less if ypu would have ended it saying pick the 10 cuz it would have fit your tone
Don't buy the Anaconda. You get a free one at Hutton orbital.
ur an idiot stfu stop spreading that myth..really screws up new players trying to learn the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea, you need to start shutting the F**** up
If you are noob don´t should buy a huge ship never ever. Is awesome how many noobs are flying in expensive ships now and doing combat logg all time. Why not learn to fly first? They are destroying this game. It´s my opinion.
I've played for ages, but I'm still a shit combat pilot - just don't have the nerves or reactions for it. I can manuver my Anaconda around (actually they fly like a much smaller ship once you grade 5 dirty drive them), and I can fight OK PvE because I know nothing is going to get through my shields, but PvP I suck and always will - I would never combat log though, just run like a coward or accept the rebuy.
I just high-wake as far as I can - most gankers/griefers are flying FDL's etc which can't jump very far so they can't really follow you if you jump over 25ly. It doesn't happen very often anyway, I guess if I was doing CG's it'd be a different matter but I tend to just do my own thing.
Dude the only diference between open and solo is the posibility to be interdicted by a CMDR. It make the experience interested. i can´t see the meaning to play in open just for say "07" to the people. The problem is not who attack CMDRs, is who do cheats as combat logg. Is´t kill the inmersion. Because that i saw, an expensive ship is a bad choice for noobs, who don´t know about hightwake.
To turn, fligth assist off.
Or you calmly write the commander's name down and then have your group swoop in and grief em.
