Its hardly ugly.
I love the look of this ship's like this. They look more "real". Industrial looking.
I agree
love the sound design for the thrusters, if it was the recorded sound of the saturn rocket that got us to the moon in the first place, i wouldn't be surprised. such a powerful sound
Actually, it's kinda cute... Like a Turtle.
@@Victor-056 I flew a Type-9... briefly. It was slow in every way. Slow to pitch, slow to roll, slow to accelerate... I named it Space Turtle. It's only redeeming quality was the size of it's insane cargo hold.
@@ParoxyDM Turtles are surprisingly fast swimmers. It's just that on land, they're incredibly slow.
So if anything, The Keelback's the Space Turtle for it's surprising manuverability and speed, While the Type-9's a Space _Tortoise_ for it's lumbering slowness and terrible manuverability.
"Contrary to what you might think, you don't have to go to the far flung reaches of some uninhabited system to go hunting for diamonds or opals. Sometimes they're right around the corner. "
*checks the system he's in in the bottom left corner*
"Colonia"
Yeah, okay mate
I did my Diamond and Opal hunting in Guathiti that's literally two or three jumps from one of the Imperial Capital System of Kamadeenu.
Really around the corner huh "colon" -ia
I by accident stumbled over a huge source of low temperature diamonds close to the centre of the bubble. Just saying.
Lhs 3447 planet 2b
"'I'd argue that skipping the type 6 and coming to this ship after the cobra....."
Dude that is LITERALLY the exact thing that I did.
And I'm on the other side of that as a newbie... I'm in a Cobra and eyeing the Keelback for my next ship to buy.
@@diamondflaw Do buy it!
It served me really well...
I went from the cobra strait to the aspX after 1 void opal mining run
I went Sidewinder>hauler>t6>t7>t9
Me to
Yes. I wish the flappy engines could do vertical thrust too. Coming in on a High g world all laid back and flat because you have two gert thrusters keeping you up. Coor yes.
Right? It couldn't have been a lot more engineering to get a full turn VTOL. Wish they had gone all the way with it.
I came
The Keelback was my first choice as an analogue to the Millennium Faclon
I named mine the Lucky Seven and I still have it to this day, it was the first ship I had that could mount a fighter bay.
Lol you too but yah it true it fits.
I think it's more like the ghost due to that fighter hanger
More like Serenity, with those swiveling drive pods.
The Krait Phantom is a much better YT-1300 analogue. (Split nose, strip of rear thrusters, preferred by smugglers…)
@@Monody512 While Phantom is certainly closest in terms of visual features, and has a sexy name...it's a little bit too big I think. I always though Cobra Mk III was the Millennium Falcon of ED.
The Keelback was my first real ship. I still have it since I bought it 2 yrs ago. She is my baby.
I hear ya. Saved up for one, took ages, but then the money started flowing and it was epic. Now I've decided to try my hand at passenger runs, gonna give the dolphin a shot.
@TurkeyKing I converted mine into a mining ship
Cat-550
The Keelback remains my go to for Light Trading missions
Mine was the diamondback E but damn that was pretty long ago hehe I have one
I love mine.
That seems to be Lakon's motto, doesn't it: "Our ships are as ugly as sin but they do their job basically better than any of the pretty boys and they can be FUN!"
True, except for the Type-8
@@MrMikado282 No-one discusses that embarrassment. *No-one* !
Excuse me, Lakons Ships, ugly? The Asp Explorer is a treat ( especialy in this white tone ) and the keelback almost looks even better with its rotating thrusters...
@@Core395 yeah I love the realistic industrial look
@@Joopyter724 Now that I think about it, why are all the other ships so streamlined? It's space. Aerodynamics mean nothing.
Also, yes the "Type-[number]" ships tend to be bricks with thrusters bolted on, but the Alliance ships are *handsome*
These videos are ridiculously good and it's honestly surprising that you don't have more subscribers. Keep up the great work! o7
(Imp Cutter pls)
Only so many people play or know about ED...
X CrankyOldMan then we must spread our religion far and wide.
First thing in my mind..
These videos make you feel!
Agreed, commander!
This was actually one of my favorite ships for a long time. I love the design of the engines. Great review for a great little ship.
Omg, I'm in love with your videos!
The quality, the voiceover, the EVERYTHING
Simply amazing.
I didn't even know the Keelback was anywhere near being that useful. Always thought it was this weird thing nobody needs. Thanks for education me on my ignorance.
You probably already know what ship you're going to do next but if you need a suggestion:
The AspX,
such an iconic ship.
Probably everyone had one in their carrier! (Especially in the earlier days of elite)
good ol ass exploder
Although I skipped this ship and went straight for the Python I now consider trying it.
“You don’t have to go to the far flung reaches of a system to find diamonds” mines diamonds in colonia.
As a member of the Fatherhood and a fan of your channel, you picked the correct ship to cover this week. Excellent work, sir!
o7 cmdr
Great video as always, and perfect timing aswell for #keelbackawarenessweek
I have used the keelback from mining to bounty hunting. I actually gathered more cash bounty hunting with this ship. The fighter bay made it too easy.
^ This. It's still a great miner and decent trader, but it's much better at bounty hunting than it has any reason to be, especially early in the game. I'd argue it's the first ship a new commander could safely spend over an hour in a HighRes or HasRes with. Throw a 1A collector limpet in and set your turrets to fire at will and just start killing in the SLF. The Keelback will happily follow along, collecting manufactured materials and providing extra fire support.
Plus, if you lose your SLF, you're in a sturdy enough ship to escape, and if you lose the Keelback, it won't break the bank. All-in-all an excellent Baby's First Bounty Hunter.
The keelback was my first big ship purchase :) It's my space truck. I throw on my VR headset, let my boyfriend know it's gonna be a bit before he sees me again, and then I crack open a beer and go blast some rocks while listening to music. When I've made enough money from my rocks to pay for some gas and supplies I point my space truck in a direction and hit go, looking for the next pretty location to blow up rocks in, no matter how far away it is. On my way I also look for good planets, because it's my first ship with a fighter bay and when I get bored of blasting rocks I like to scout out planets for some more adrenaline pumping canyon runs with FA off going as fast as I can. I love my keelback. It's ugly and crude but she's mine
Though I don't actually own one of these ships, this video has one of the best opening scenes with almost emotional music. I grew up a "band nerd" so, I can appreciate the brassy instrumentation.
Step 1; Open video.
Step 2; Bring your finger down upon the like button with the might of the moon crashing into the earth (just don’t take 3 days to do it).
Step 3; watch and love this art in all it’s glory.
Finally, damn you are blowing up now 2.6k! Keep it up :D
It's not often I tick notifications on a channel, but your videos are breathtaking!
Thank you!
I was bounty hunting in my Fer-De-lance... and was tired with how much time i spend for the money i got more or less.
So. I biought myself a keelback, traded a bit, then went core mining. And woops i got myself the money for a python in a day. Took that out for 2 days, now i own an anaconda.
Your videos are very well made. You deserve a far bigger sub count than what you have right now.
Ahh the Keelback. ❤️😍 the Millennium Falcon of the Elite world.
Another great video 👍👍👍
It would be Millennium Falcon of Elite if it wasn't Cobra Mk.III. Krait comes second. Only then Keelback :)
First ship I bought after my sidewinder, Still my go to mining ship even now. Plus that boost noise makes me think of the mass effect reapers
I actually pulled my Keelback out of mothballs earlier this week, it is such a nice ship to fly. I just disagree with you on it being ugly.
Lakon has gone with their utilitarian ship design for all of their cargo ships and I personally find it quite pleasing, in a rugged and dependable kind of way.
Then again I actually enjoy the T-10 as a heavy combat bulk miner so I might be biased.
Your music is always spot on
Your ship reviews are well done! They lean toward pointing out the positive features for each ship, but not afraid to acknowledge deficiencies. Your reviews make me want to buy each ship. With the exception of the Asp Scout... ;) Great work. Keep it up!
Excellent. I really like the calm, objective review. Kind of reminds me of this of Ahoy, the game weapon guy, in style. I've watched all your reviews now, really good work, sir.
Great video, I like the way you tell a story of the ship you're reviewing and not just quote facts and figures.
The keelie is my ship of choice for almost everything, notwithstanding that is quite bad at everything. It just clicks with me and that to me is more important than being the best at something.
Another great review. The class and style of your expression. The articulation. You describe these ships in ways others could only dream. I actually always recommend the keelback. To new players
Really enjoyable Video as always, CMDR! o7
I hope to see a video about the Krait Mk.2 in the near future~
*fingers crossed*
It's not a dedicated video, but he talks about the Krait in the Python video a bit
if he keeps suiciding to cut on traveling costs this may take a little longer
The Keelback is beautiful! Still my favorite ship even though I mostly fly my Anaconda these days.
I wish they would use those wiggly arm thrusters on more ships. It's so fun to wiggle them around!
Great video as always, I love your narration style - keep up the great work. I love the Keelback too and use it as a deep core miner and used to use it with the fighter for surface skimmer missions until they got nerfed.
The keelback is that mcguiver ship that needs to be in any space game. For opal mining,,I upgraded to an asp explorer after my cobra, because everyone said to get it and then a python.
I really wanted the keelback though, but you know, min maxing got the better of me.
But after my python I made a panite mining type 9, called it Space Moomoo. I love my type-9 so much, I am always excited when I run out of money so I can go back to it and do painite or ltd3 mining. My image of it is a laid back somewhat greasy space truck/miner pilot listening to cowboy music. I just wish I could paint it like a cow and give it horns like those hood ornaments old cars had.
There actually was a Cow-style paintjob available for the Type 9 at one point.
The way to get it was a bit... impossible, however:
There was a charity-event going on, and you could donate some money.
You could also ask for a specific item that you wanted - the Type-9 Cow-Paintjob was just one of many choices.
However, you did not get what you asked for after donating.
Instead, Frontier drew lots and if you were drawn, you got what you asked for.
So your chance of getting that paintjob was actually rather slim.
That is what I remember of that charity event.
I might miss-remember details, so if I do, someone correct me please.
To this point, I never saw a Type 9 with the Cow-Paintjob.
I still to this point would pay money (including some money for charity) if i could be sure to get that paintjob.
I have no idea why Frontier maee things so overly complicated.
But then again, maybe my mind is playing tricks on me.
The Spectator just frontier being frontier. But for all their faults, they made a game I find haven in this day and age of money for shareholders centric rather than player centric games. The fact that the game is barebones actually gave birth to this amazing player driven community/play style development. I literally regained hope in gaming when I learned about fuel rats as a story which also got me interested in elite in the first place.
Dude thank you so much. These videos and the way you stay in the "lore" is so good. Im addicted.
Finally! I legit search on your channel for it yesterday!! Finally my baby is here.
The narration always reminds me of Top Gear.
DarthWall275 I’m pretty sure everyone means old top gear when they say top gear
Of course I mean "old" top gear.
First ship I bought after my Sidewinder. I'm enjoying the space trucker life, and the tougher hide and extra teeth really help out with pirates. When running real high-value cargo, the fighter bay is a major benefit, and worth the trade-off in raw haulage. That said, my pilot's having a bit of a tough time ranking herself up because this ship with some basic upgrades is surprisingly adept at avoiding interdiction. I've started willingly letting us drop out of supercruise when I know it's a gimme like just one dude in an Eagle, and we're not on the clock. Folks gripe about limited power, but it's not difficult to work around if you take the time to set up some half-decent power management.
And that's not even getting into all the other roles this ship can fill. The Keelback really deserves more love than it gets.
Loved my Keeback.
I went Sidewinder to Cobra to Keelback. Out of the ships available for the price range, the Keelback was the best choice for me and I never regretted my decision. It's an excellent ship which got me my Asp Explorer and was fun to boot.
Keelback is a very mis-understood ship and I'm really glad you get it :)
Keep up the great vids my man o7
Keelback was my second real ship, and the first thing I recommend to any new players. Being able to mine half a mil worth of ore in thirty minutes to an hour is invaluable.
Keep up the good work man! Looking forwards to the next one!
Another of 'those' ships that you buy early, and just keep! Brilliant review, thanks.
Been getting back into Elite now that I have a Reverb G2 and a machine to run it + a HOTAS setup. I've spent the majority of my time in the Diamondback Explorer for bounty hunting / assassination contracts, and the Keelback for mining.
I love the Keelback. In VR, the canopy in which you sit is incredible. I only just learned about core mining and walking around the cockpit and watching the ice shatter with the massive view has been an exceptional experience.
Then there's the boost sound. Best in the game, no doubt.
I love my keelback. I didn't expect that at all. But I do.
The Keelback was the first ship that I flew just because I liked it. It clicked with me even though I knew there were ships within my budget with a better reputation for each job I wanted to do. This was, of course, way before deep core mining was a thing. I used it for all sorts of missions around the bubble. I've since sold it, but I still fondly remember my days of learning the ropes in that ship. Great times!
Keelback laid my foundations in this game :D Great videos! idk why i cant stop watching your videos esp the one for Keelback, Corvette and type 10 :D
Ah the keelback
I remember selling all my smaller ships, dbx and only keeping the type 6
I outfitted it for multicrew so I could play with my mate when he had just gotten the game
It honestly feels like home to me, flying a keelback. You got everything you need in your litte space camper, flying off into the dark, ready for everything the universe can throw at you.
Fantastic.... Another out the Parker... Great Job... Keep em coming...👍👍👍
For me, this ship is a true legend. After doing some random shit in a Sidewindy, I picked up a Viper III for bounty hunting. Then realised I didnt really enjoy combat, but I already made a decent 3.5mil with bountys. I wanted something relaxing, and I found out about core mining. I did some checking around, and bought the Keelback. In just 2weeks, I was sitting in a Krait MK II, outfitted with 160 cargo space, good shields, and enough weapons to defend myself. The Keelback is a ship that I am not forgetting anymore.
Thank you for paint the respect needed to this fine vessel. Support vessel is right !! Best in its class. Peace all...til Thatgoids show. And Subscribed.
Thank you, for the kind words.
Hey, so this video did make me get the keelback, which then led to the python, then the anaconda, then the type 9... and now I'm 173 jumps left to Colonia in my 50ly jump range krait... Thank you for leading down a path that not only cured my horrendously low attention time, but made me truly enjoy this game... Even if I'm many many years late to the party.
You deserve so many more subs for your content! You can feel the love for this game in your voice as well as how much it shows with the quality of these videos. Keep it up!
I got the type 6, and I like it; but I always feel like its missing something...Then I saw the Keelback, and I'm like it gets a what?! And then I'm like ah that makes sense.
i'm new to ED, and got my Keelback today, i laughed pretty hard at this, cuz i actually learned the hard way how far away from an asteroid detonation you have to be.
from a new pilot: 10/10, this thing is slow to accelerate, and god help you if you want to stop it. but the hardpoints and the optional internals are so SO worth it. mining has just become my favorite thing to do.
i run all 4 mining tools because i find all mining types fun to do, but i make the dough by gettin cores, but having a 4b refinery with 9 bins, makes for a fun scavenger hunt for random ore i've never even heard off.
this video made me wanna kit it for combat, i'm gonna try that tomorrow, the stars await. i am absolutely hooked, both on ED, and the Keelback for that matter.
That worked out well, on your last video I left a message requesting you to do the Keelback and what do you know the very next video is a Keelback, great minds think alike. I love this ship for all the reasons you described and because its beautiful, not ugly. Great video as usual, keep um coming.
I hold mine dear. moved on to python for mining , so the keel is now my fun machine. Fighter/twin size 2 multi cannons/twin 1b seeker missile launchers, mixed 5C bi-weave shield ,4d/3d hull modules, 2d module reinforce, 1a fuel scoop, 21 ly jump. Traveling around shooting what i can and grabbing material for engineering. Signed crewman as a mostly harmless, worked him up to master. He takes little payout , but I keep him entertained.
outstanding versatility, dirt cheap. the perfect ship to store in jaques station when you're tired of exploring with your min/maxed vessel
This is my 3rd ship, just got it last night. All ive done so far is run 2 items 4 jumps for 300k. Realized when i got there it had no auto land chip installed. That was a fun time landing manualy for the first time and in medium ship to make it more fun
Goddamn... your videos are criminally under-viewed! Your voice alone is enough to make me started watching more of this series. Good job and keep up the good work!
I had one as a shieldless stealth torpedo boat, with cascade torp. It's a delight to pilote this ship in FA Off, plus as a lakoon ship it's a very good ship for heat management. Once fully modded it can have a decent armor and the fighter will distract most of your prey enough for you to destroy them. I loved that ship so much.
That does sound like fun.... :-)
One of my first ship, a good wee work horse!
The Keelback was my go-to mission ship for about a year. Loved it. I now have a Crusader and a Krait II doing the same job, but this was the first in that line for me.
Your Videos brought me Back to Elite. To experience the different ships again.
I flown the Keelback back when I had around 10 million in my bank account and used ist for Rank missions. Maybe I should go back and try the new mining stuff.
absolutely do that. i first tried the new mining in a T9 and getting that space cow to do anything is a chore
Also the cheapest ship you can reasonably max out Combat Rank in. Put some AX Turreted Multis, and AX Taipan (Or if you unlocked it, the XG Lance) and skoot out to some Scout fights. You'll be having Dinner with Lori after a day or two if you really stick your nose on the grindwheel.
It is immensely fun to do this in Multicrew btw. There's something special about playing in a ship that has a real chance of blowing up, instead of just dropping out there in an Invincible Cutter, or whatever.
The Keelback IS my Deep Core Super Miner!
With a Trident SLF for support :)
+1 CMDR o7
Finally, someone who gets it! Subscribed.
Such quality much excellence. You sold me on this ship man.
I finished this playlist faster than a Netflix series!
Man I loved all your videos, I hope ED keeps making more ships so you can make more of this beautiful videos.
You could in the meantime make a video dedicated to every way of making money in the game, like a video for mining, another for bounty hunting. In your same style of course!
Then you could do some lore videos, etc.
The keelback was the second ship I ever bought. Worked hard in my eagle to save up enough for this. That fighter the keelback can hold has saved my ass a few times. Remember one time fighting an asp explorer trying to steal my stuff. It was a rough fight, I was taking almost double the damage i was giving. I was down to maybe 30% hull when system authorities finally arrived and helped me finish the guy off.
Good thing the ship can rebuild the fighter six times. I think he got my fighter once or twice.
I recently started playing ED and also followed the path of Cobra then Keelback. Something about this ship really connected with me, it was definitely my first love. I never got that feeling again until I got to the Python which is my "mini-Corvette" until I can grind out the Fed ranks and credits I need.
The Keelback is the ship I'm using to go to the Python for trading, it hasn't failed me yet. Even survived a head-on collision with a Starport's frame.
Almost every ship is like the Millennium Falcon. Not the prettiest or any instant perks, but man when you treat it right, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
I just started playing Elite Dangerous, and this is my favorite ship I’ve been in. Adding little tweaks here and there just for a more balanced percentage is absolute joy.
She’s the first ship I decided to name. Also, she’s the first ship I won’t trade in for another.
Couldn’t find a type 6 near me so this was my first big boy trading ship and I had a great time with it.
Just got into ED a few days ago and stumbled upon your channel trying to find more info on the ships and man you make every ship sound like something everyone should buy atleast so far, definitely thinking about picking this guy up on my way to make enough money for a krait. And yes your reviews on both of them are the reason behind that. So glad I gave this game a chance.
Max Respect for your Keelback review. I made 500 Mill in this ship. I fought in REZ sites, Combat Zones, unlocked almost all the engineers and taught myself the basics of FA off in this little beauty.
It's the working mans Millennium Falcon.
Yep. Most of my time has been spent in a Keelback, and as others mention, I imagine it as the Millennium Falcon. I've never mined in it. I've never fought in it, but I've made tons of credits transporting with it.
This was my first ship after the cobra! You've convinced me to go back and configure it for some specific role, maybe core mining. I've got a python and a type 9 and a chieftain etc so I don't NEED it for anything, but I like the idea of having all my ships have a purpose even if I have better general purpose ships that I could reconfigure, the idea of having my whole fleet ready to go for something at a moments notice is sweet.
Glad to see some love for the Keelback many hours of black box salvaging at Sothis and Ceos. Almost used it for DW2 on my alt account until I got Krait Phantom.
Great job generating emotional value to the space opera in this game. Subbed.
Thanks. It's mostly just the editing, and music, and timbre of my voice, and things I say. :-D
Keelback got me my first 100mil, tought me to fly more accuratly, land myself properly. This is my TRUE first spaceship
I went from a cobra mk3 to the keelback. I really like the SLF when I'm deep core mining. You will buy yourself out of this ship probably on your 1st run but I'm keeping this workhorse, love it!
By the gods is that a gorgeous shot at 0:31.
Other than the type 10, the keelback is my favorite ship. It was my first ship after the Cobra. I made my first 100 million in a keelback, doing salvage and cargo
Dude I love your videos...period. I wish there was an infinite number of ships to watch your videos.
I wish there were more for me to make. :-)
Ah my 1st expensive ship! mind you I just got this game few months ago, I had the adder and exchanged it for this, been using it since lol currently have this as my cargo "space truck" but with some defense thrown on there 😉 excellent content 👍
Good to rewatch the video on my good old rust bucket. This thing was my first deep core miner
I have all the ships I could ever want in elite dangerous including a jumpaconda My PVE combat Corvette and my mining Cutter. Yet part of me always still comes back to this ship. I'm not sure what it is but I absolutely love this thing. I have mine engineered to have some of the best jump range possible and I use it for my bubble jumper.
I just love everything about your videos. Your voice, your perspective, your narative structure. absolutely sublime.
Any chance that the gunship is in the cards soon?
The whole list eventually. But I'll get to the Fed ships, sooner or later. :-)
I gotta say I love my keelback. It made me the money for a fully equipped chieftain and a (at the moment) stock python. I named it the Warthog and it's the best ship I could have bought after bounty hunting with the imp eagle.
I never stopped loving my keelback. I love going to res zones and deploy the fight and just sit and watch as it makes me money
The Keelback was my first real ship and even though I occasionally buy new ships I always end up back on the keelback. I love this ship.
I cant wait for the vulture video, I love that little ship
I swear it's coming...
My favorite shop so far. Been flying cargo for a week and As soon as I figure out how to mine I can bring in the credits.
I went for the regular T6, because of the thought focussing on one thing makes things better han being an allrounder. Don't know if technically I made the wrong choice, but I don't care anyways, as having fun and laidback enjoying every moment is the most important thing, which the T6 provides in ample amounts. It is great to hear your reviews either way as to understand ships better and know what they can or can't :) Love these vids!
I happen to find a great trade price of polymer which gave me a profit of 300k for 3 jumps per run. Thought I'd change to trading, bought a type-6 and made even more profit out of this trade. 2 runs and I'm now about to trade it for a keelback. Great video!
Nice video man, i really enjoy your reviews :)
Vulture review when? ;)
Soon. Ish. I swear.
The answer is: yes. Yes, this ship is wonderful.
Today i buyed Diamond explorer for exploration,and Keelback ship for mining and transport. I use cobra 3 for bounty hunting. And that is all my ships.
Started new account. BH'ed to 1 million. Bought Viper3. BH'ed to 2 million. Bought Adder, fitted for core-mining. Popped one Opal cube, filled the hold, sold for 5-6 million. Bought Keelback, fitted for core-mining. Popped 3 opal cubes, sold for over 30 million.
Not a bad first 2 days.
I absolutely love this ship, it's looks, it's handling, it's hardpoint placements, it's cockpit and it's overal setup. The shields are rather weak but the armoring is exceptional and gets even better with upgrades. So to say, it's the Elite version of Star Trek's Defiant Class or Hirogen Hunter vessel. Makes you want to comment in combat against Pirates "Direct hit, our hull armor is stable"
Fantastic video again, thanks for putting it together, and it's a joy to hear some love for one of my favourite ships! It's a mini-Anaconda to my eye - you can do anything in it, and its quirkiness and unfashionable nature only adds to its charm (and those big quad-engine nozzles on the back look epic). It always seems to be one optional slot short for core mining, so I'm presuming the fuel scoop is the module I should leave out? Again thanks for another great vid.
