I remember the first time I saw one, I was waiting in line to leave a space station, it took so long I decided to just squeeze out and suddenly I was face to face with a ship that took up the entire mail slot! I now wait my turn I can assure you.
@@nzfuryr34 in a one on one or against a bunch of small ships oh yeah. Drop the shields with a fighter and sick the bear on em while you work the next. But if you ever get outnumbered drop your fighter to cover and run. Only time I died is when the free fire turrets turned the 3 police anacondas on me lmao.
The Type 9 is the result of someone at Lakon deciding to attach thrusters to a warehouse. The Type 10 is what happened when the designers at Lakon had way too much Onionhead and decided that their flying warehouse needed guns and a spoiler as well.
Thats the way to do it. With some careful aiming you can get every gun you've got firing on one target. Admittedly its hard to do versus a smaller target but then you're only getting half the T-10's guns on a target which is still more than a Phantom's worth of guns, boohoo.
One of my earliest memories playing elite was witnessing this monster enter through a mail slot. Back then I was still in a viper mk III, very new to the game and I hadn’t gotten a sense of scale for ships. I honestly thought ships didn’t get much larger than what I had. My jaw dropped when I saw this thing.
My Type 10 is called Kaon, after doing some engineering and stripping it down a little and prepping for mining I had a useable 45ly jump range :-) I then set out with DW2 and took Kaon, or more to the point Kaon took me all the way to Beagle point and back again, yeah its slow, it turns like a hippo in quick sand and is like trying to dock a small moon but it never lets you down, it gets under your skin like an old land rover and thats why I love the Type 10 Defender 😊👍🏻
When I did a bunch of numbers it was hard to compare the Type 10 to any ship. Everything you can do in a Type 10 can be better done in another ship , but the Type 10 can compete in so many categories. Then I realised that the only ship I can compare it to is the Python. The Type-10 when it comes to the numbers is like a large version of the Python (if it could use a fighter bay ). Similar jump range , all arounder type.
Taking into account the massive jump range of a Anaconda no. The Anaconda is very different considering among large ships the Anaconda has the best jump range. Trading the Python and Imperial Cutter are more similar .both have highest cargo for each size class and have similar jump range.
Now considering the way the type 10 is basically a weaponized type 9 perhaps my earlier comment was wrong. I believe it is more like how the Keelback is a weaponized version of the type 6. They should have just called the Keelback the Type 8
My favorite thing about this ship was FDev originally advertised it as a ship designed to address the Thargoid threat, but then the AX community got their hands on it and realized it's one of the most awful AX ships in the game so they removed that bit from the ship's in-game description.
I took a T10 to colonia and loved it. It never overheats and with engineering, I got 32ly with weapons and armour. It's awesome. Thanks for another stellar video.
Took mine out to Sag A and back. Type 10 explorer vessels are broke as hell. Good jump range, crazy refueling rate, never overheats, completely self sufficient. I have repair limpets and an AFMU for hull and module repair. It’s got a SRV bay to harvest more materials for synthesizing more limpets and AFMU ammo. There’s room for a bunch of heat sinks. I hit the neutron highway on the way back home, to the tune of 140-160LY jumps. Lemme repeat myself. 140-160LY jumps. In a Type 10. She’s a combat ship with the soul of an explorer.
I so wanted to fly my type-10 out to meet y'all, but I was at work when the tweet went out. Love that you always try to cover the ships people don't appreciate enough.

I always loved the Type 10. It feels the most like what it is, an incredibly heavy, slow, lumbering Space Tank. It is staggeringly tough, when the shields drop, the hull just soaks up the punishment without a worry. My favourite use for the 10 was in a Combat Zone. Just sit there, pick a target and concentrate all that fire (as well as you can!) If the other side start attacking you, you have shields and massive amounts of armour to keep you safe. Good times!!!
I haven't played ED in about 2 years but after watching your EXCELLENT videos. they have me squeezing into my flight suit once again, although it's a little tighter than I remember. Well done Sir, well done.
i have owned all 3 for quite a while, the 10 once you eng it, has the most daka and, i have called it a "god damned flying fortress" since they fixed the power systems(it was launched with type9 power systems...horrible...), for combat, its my favorite ship, vette and cutter are about equal, depends on the situation..the 10 though..you can farm high intensity conflict zones, till your corrosive high cap auto cannons are out of ammo, and you cant craft anymore, or till you are out of limpets, or till you are out of inv space for materials... honestly thermal bi-weaves with low draw, 3-4 high cap resistance augmented boosters the rest high cap with high cap, and you will not have any issues bullying vetts, cutters, hell i take every wing kill and nonwing kill over X value, for the same system, then, often, jump in, let the first one interdict me, then jump out, do that 2x, then, start killing, because...as you fight, more will drop in, eventually, you will have them fighting eachother as you fight them, and, will be able to take them out, and get them all done at once... then jump back and collect your pay... i love the vette and cutter, but, the 10.. honestly... i would love to see them bring out a krait mk3 thats in effect a type 10 with a tweaked config, a big more internal space, but overall, a very similar vibe...just, give me like one more 6 slot or 2 more 5's something like that... i would grab that up in a heartbeat... till then, the 10 with a rank 4 jump booster, gets me 34-35 fully loaded for bear, so....i often take it of the cutter when i hear about stuff going on, rather then the vette...thats jump range...sucks... i have been saying since they fixxed the 10 that, it should be the first "big fucking ship" people get, not a conda, loaded with similar goals, the 10 gives similar jump range...but a far better experience, and, you can move alot of cargo... i have used the min size shield gen it will allow, and maxxed out the cargo and still had no issue killing everything that came for the cargo... the things..a flying fortress.. and..i love it...
Una Salus Victis how do you exactly outfit the 10? Do you put a bunch of turrets and stuff? I’m thinking of getting one but I don’t know whats really good on it
3:34 - "Is it a greenhouse!?" :P LOL No.....it's a phased-array antenna. Each panel is a separate antenna, tied together to give a large picture. The technology was pioneered with the U-2 program in the 1980's. A nose-mounted high definition camera system called the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar System...or ASARS for short! Although, in a pinch, you could grow tomatoes in it, if you took off the housing and flipped it upside-down! :D Love these vids man. Great work.
Man, your reviews have been at the heart of all my ship purchases so far. I started playing ED from late January 2021. I remember excitedly seeing ED, after playing the original Elite waaay back. From Sidewinder to Cobra, now at an Asp Explorer as a longish range multi-purpose passenger runner, building up to my first mid-sized ship - TBD 👍🌟
I really like it when he says "that's bad" Then follows up another related fact with "that's good" Paints the picture and makes a distinct line... it's also funny
Not going to lie this type of videos is so professional and underrated. This dude has literally sold me to all the Ships I bought. You’re one hell of a UA-cam bro. I cannot wait for you to blow up when odyssey drops.
Darn! I was hoping I'd be the first to catch that subtle Simpsons reference. As soon as you started alternating between "that's good" and "that's bad", I knew/hoped that's where you were going with it. Well done sir.
I bought this majestic, glorious chonky girl last week. I traded in my krait mk 2, and I have no regrets. The Type-10 is definitely my favorite ship. My only gripe is every paint job looks amazing that I can't decide.
the type 10 and vette are "murika" in ed ship form, the cutter is the British empire at its peek in all its excess, i love them all but, for combat the 10 is..in-fucking-sane...
I've been lookng at the Type 10 that I have sat in storage for a while now, wondering "What if I upgraded and engineered this thing?", since I absolutely LOVE my Type 9. I think I have my answer. I have some work to do.
The secret to the type 10 is it is a COMBAT ship. Not a CARGO ship. It is meant to take hits for the team and supportive role dmg dealing and Thargoid hunting. Rely on SLFs, wings etc. Type 10 is like a PALADIN in an RPG. Taking hits like a champ, healing with beam turrets, dealing dmg to enemy ships with multiple missile bays once their shields are down.
It is *the* Thargoid scout hunter. Takes a beating, dishes out a beating. The inertia works pretty well for helping aim with rails or gauss (for people like me that are a bit twitchy on the controls). Great ship. One of my all time favourites. Not great for tackling the bigger Thargoid interceptors, though: too slow, with too weak shields.
Considering that Scouts are agile you can just outfit a medium ship for 60m Cr and it will work better. Will be also fast enough to escape the caustic missiles. I wish T10 was better, his only benefit is tankiness
@@sirruf9618 In principle, yes, I agree with you. However, in a threat 6 NHSS, when a beserker pulse goes off the tankiness is invaluable, possibly essential. One caustic missile can be avoided, twelve, not so much.
@@cmdrjontomasson5510 fair point. I feel that I need to clarify here that the litmus test for me is how good will the ship perform in a solo fight. Also I don't hunt Scouts (and apart from AX Conflict Zones, where it's inevitable, never had) or Cyclops (not any more), and for Interceptors like Basilisk and higher T10 is too slow, not agile enough and can not use Gauss due to very bad convergence (and AX MCs against Basi+ just won't work). Description 'designed/good for AX combat' is very inaccurate because: 1. There are ships that will kill Scouts just as good as T10 - take a medium ship with AX MCs, a decontamination limpet (it repairs the hull as well) and FMU, ot top of that it will also be more fun to fly and will cost you around 60-70m Cr. 2. There are ships that will be way better against Interceptors of ALL variants, still those ships are not described in-game as 'designed for AX combat'. Being a full-time AX pilot I am looking for the optimal weapon against the hardest oponent in the game, T10 is very far from being such weapon and has a very limited use, which is even more baffling considering its cost.
@@sirruf9618 In that case we agree completely. The Type 10 does not do well against anything tougher than a Cyclops unless it is in very very skillful hands. Even against Cyclopes, the majority of the medium ships are better. But against scouts it is very good, coasting through even threat 6 encounters.

Pilot, I have to say, I've had my T10 for about a month (only been playing for 2 months) and I had it built as a combat hauler until I got into Engineering and put steroids on my T9. My T10 sort of just fell off. I loved transporting goods in my T9 again. But this video inspired me to go back, rebuild it for combat only, and I love it. So thank you for giving me a reason to get this back out.
I have never used Engineers. I might for this ship. I only intend to mine with it and defend my full holds of Void opals and Diamonds. I have no beef with Thargoids. Humans. Always provoking wars and acting surprised when they get what they were after. Plans change though. I do a lot of things I told myself I never would. Great video! I should have mine after this work week. Work seems to eat up my gaming hours. I told myself I would not buy one till I had 750 mil in reserve. Currently using a type 9 to mine in.
My favourite ship in the game. I took it on Distant Worlds 2 as a Hull Seal role, and I made it to Semotus Beacon, the farthest reachable point from Sol by any ship. Sure, other ships can do things better, but like it says, it can do more things, like the python. One thing you forgot to mention... you can park on top of the sun, as close as you want without hitting the exclusion zone, and go have lunch, it will not get past 65% heat.
I took my Type 10 all the way to Colonia and i would not think twice about doing it again. Its a marvelous ship, i fell in love with it when i first started flying it. everything about it just screams amazing. When i got back home, i renamed the ship "Battleship Rashida" and outfitted it entirely with cannons, and i was shocked to see how effective that was. #1 best ship in the game, hands down.
"This is the Federal Corvette. From the first wire down to the last screw, it was designed and built for one, and only one purpose: to be an instrument of war. This ship isn't a miner, or a trader, neither is it an exploration vessel. It is an ode to destruction, a beautiful yet deadly embodiment of combat prowess, a tribute to the gods of war."
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM Right, it's the most maneuverable of the Big Three. It still feels like a blasphemy to put passenger cabins where the SCB, SLF hangar and hull/module reinforcements should go.
Yeah I too love these videos :) Type 10 may be my favorite daily driver ship.. its only Real drawback is supcruise turning is so slow it can get annoying, but you can sit right on a sun for scooping .. Its a very capable ship with slots for days, and you can overcome a lot of that sluggishness with g3-5 engineering .. it’ll never be good for pvp against a dedicated fight ship like an fdl but when a T10 bursts onto the scene, you know the china shop is about to get wrecked. I mine and explore as space for fighters (multiple) is no problem, or fighters and srv both. Lots of cargo space and all the shield boosters you need .. engineer that armor and its a big fat brick. Yeah, my girls big but she can dance.
I've never seen the t10 as a traditional 'combat ship', that title is reserved for the Vulture, the Chieftain, or the Federal Gunship. The T10 is a siege weapon, meant to slowly advance onto the battlefield with 3 or more other T10s and just unleash a hurricane of Multicannon and laser fire, with packhounds screaming from launchers and fighters streaming from their bays. It's meant to be a brick in a wall of steel, lead and blistering photons for the enemy to break themselves again.
Just like to say, that all people who play this great game needs to watch this set of video's. Thank you for you efforts and an excellent set of images.
I came to check your review on the T10 after owning one for about a month I needed a reality check, I truly feel comfortable in this ship, so much so I have 2 😀..I did take the time to G5 everything and she just soaks it up, barely ever losing a ring off the shields, even when dealing with 2 wings of npc’s. I’ve fitted turreted efficient pulse lasers all around with a mix of phasing and scramble. I don’t do AFK simply because I’m not interested in killing harmless or novice ships. That just gets boring. I take it into CNB’s or high res sites with a few tons of gold in the hold...it makes it more challenging and certainly more profitable and this way, it doesn’t always go my way..it can be very challenging, but very exciting. Great balanced review Cmdr..best wishes.

honestly thermal bi-weaves with low draw, 3-4 high cap resistance augmented boosters the rest high cap with high cap, and you will not have any issues bullying vetts, cutters, hell i take every wing kill and nonwing kill over X value, for the same system, then, often, jump in, let the first one interdict me, then jump out, do that 2x, then, start killing, because...as you fight, more will drop in, eventually, you will have them fighting eachother as you fight them, and, will be able to take them out, and get them all done at once... then jump back and collect your pay...
i love the vette and cutter, but, the 10.. honestly... i would love to see them bring out a krait mk3 thats in effect a type 10 with a tweaked config, a big more internal space, but overall, a very similar vibe...just, give me like one more 6 slot or 2 more 5's something like that... i would grab that up in a heartbeat... till then, the 10 with a rank 4 jump booster, gets me 34-35 fully loaded for bear, so....i often take it of the cutter when i hear about stuff going on, rather then the vette...thats jump range...sucks...
i have been saying since they fixxed the 10 that, it should be the first "big fucking ship" people get, not a conda, loaded with similar goals, the 10 gives similar jump range...but a far better experience, and, you can move alot of cargo... i have used the min size shield gen it will allow, and maxxed out the cargo and still had no issue killing everything that came for the cargo... the things..a flying fortress.. and..i love it...
Una Salus Victis how do you exactly outfit the 10? Do you put a bunch of turrets and stuff? I’m thinking of getting one but I don’t know whats really good on it
The Type-10 is basically just the final boss from FTL
everytime i think about a new ship to try, i come here to watch the sales pitch. I love every one of them
The dome thing is a radar. Trust me I would know.
3:34 - "Is it a greenhouse!?" :P LOL No.....it's a phased-array antenna. Each panel is a separate antenna, tied together to give a large picture. The technology was pioneered with the U-2 program in the 1980's. A nose-mounted high definition camera system called the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar System...or ASARS for short! Although, in a pinch, you could grow tomatoes in it, if you took off the housing and flipped it upside-down! :D Love these vids man. Great work.
Man, your reviews have been at the heart of all my ship purchases so far. I started playing ED from late January 2021. I remember excitedly seeing ED, after playing the original Elite waaay back. From Sidewinder to Cobra, now at an Asp Explorer as a longish range multi-purpose passenger runner, building up to my first mid-sized ship - TBD 👍🌟
That Asp upgraded and engineered actually has close to the longest range in the game.
@@alexisrivera200xable i think it’s around 60 i believe? but you can outfit an anaconda to get an 87 light year jump. or 83, one of those two numbers
And just like that I go from "Sleek little quick ships are the most engaging" to "HE HE, CHONKER SHIP GO BRRRRRRRRT"
I really like it when he says "that's bad"
Then follows up another related fact with "that's good"
Paints the picture and makes a distinct line... it's also funny
Not going to lie this type of videos is so professional and underrated. This dude has literally sold me to all the Ships I bought. You’re one hell of a UA-cam bro. I cannot wait for you to blow up when odyssey drops.
I felt like I was watching "good idea, bad idea" from Animaniacs. It was quite amusing.
The FROGURT is also cursed.....
This makes me happy. Thank you!
Darn! I was hoping I'd be the first to catch that subtle Simpsons reference. As soon as you started alternating between "that's good" and "that's bad", I knew/hoped that's where you were going with it. Well done sir.
I'm surprised that this is the only comment i found to mention it
Float like a city block, sting like the combined wrath of every single hostile creature in the Amazon rainforest
I bought this majestic, glorious chonky girl last week. I traded in my krait mk 2, and I have no regrets. The Type-10 is definitely my favorite ship. My only gripe is every paint job looks amazing that I can't decide.
Congratulations! Your planet just entered the orbit of the Type-10 Defender
Wonderful as always. If you need, take a break. Seriously. You put so much time and effort into your videos. But again, just wondrous.
I hope you keep making elite reviews. I really enjoy the way you do your videos.
The whole list. Promise.
all i hear when i listen to this ship review, "this is america"
the type 10 and vette are "murika" in ed ship form, the cutter is the British empire at its peek in all its excess, i love them all but, for combat the 10 is..in-fucking-sane...
Ridiculous girth and massive amount of firepower... It's American alright.
I've been lookng at the Type 10 that I have sat in storage for a while now, wondering "What if I upgraded and engineered this thing?", since I absolutely LOVE my Type 9. I think I have my answer. I have some work to do.
what did you think?
i have loved mine since before this video came out, its just..daka....
The secret to the type 10 is it is a COMBAT ship. Not a CARGO ship. It is meant to take hits for the team and supportive role dmg dealing and Thargoid hunting. Rely on SLFs, wings etc. Type 10 is like a PALADIN in an RPG. Taking hits like a champ, healing with beam turrets, dealing dmg to enemy ships with multiple missile bays once their shields are down.
You forgot to mention the big spoiler on the back used to create downforce so the tyres can get enough traction!
You're awesome, Broseidon...I love your work.
"Can I turn this into a science ship?"
I thought you were going to say, dispensary, lol!
The "greenhouse" is a dome radar.
It is *the* Thargoid scout hunter. Takes a beating, dishes out a beating. The inertia works pretty well for helping aim with rails or gauss (for people like me that are a bit twitchy on the controls). Great ship. One of my all time favourites. Not great for tackling the bigger Thargoid interceptors, though: too slow, with too weak shields.
Considering that Scouts are agile you can just outfit a medium ship for 60m Cr and it will work better. Will be also fast enough to escape the caustic missiles. I wish T10 was better, his only benefit is tankiness
@@sirruf9618 In principle, yes, I agree with you. However, in a threat 6 NHSS, when a beserker pulse goes off the tankiness is invaluable, possibly essential. One caustic missile can be avoided, twelve, not so much.
@@cmdrjontomasson5510 fair point. I feel that I need to clarify here that the litmus test for me is how good will the ship perform in a solo fight. Also I don't hunt Scouts (and apart from AX Conflict Zones, where it's inevitable, never had) or Cyclops (not any more), and for Interceptors like Basilisk and higher T10 is too slow, not agile enough and can not use Gauss due to very bad convergence (and AX MCs against Basi+ just won't work).
Description 'designed/good for AX combat' is very inaccurate because:
1. There are ships that will kill Scouts just as good as T10 - take a medium ship with AX MCs, a decontamination limpet (it repairs the hull as well) and FMU, ot top of that it will also be more fun to fly and will cost you around 60-70m Cr.
2. There are ships that will be way better against Interceptors of ALL variants, still those ships are not described in-game as 'designed for AX combat'.
Being a full-time AX pilot I am looking for the optimal weapon against the hardest oponent in the game, T10 is very far from being such weapon and has a very limited use, which is even more baffling considering its cost.
@@sirruf9618 In that case we agree completely. The Type 10 does not do well against anything tougher than a Cyclops unless it is in very very skillful hands. Even against Cyclopes, the majority of the medium ships are better. But against scouts it is very good, coasting through even threat 6 encounters.
*Boss music starts* Anaconda fights Thargoid boss and Conda gets wrecked.
*The music is louder and has choir now* Thargoid looks around what is going on.
>Type-10 Defender fly into the battlefield.
*THE CHOIR IS IN LATIN*
Mr Goid: "Oh shit..."
Pilot, I have to say, I've had my T10 for about a month (only been playing for 2 months) and I had it built as a combat hauler until I got into Engineering and put steroids on my T9. My T10 sort of just fell off. I loved transporting goods in my T9 again. But this video inspired me to go back, rebuild it for combat only, and I love it. So thank you for giving me a reason to get this back out.
I love the music you play when the Type 10 Engages the Thargoid it is EPIC
The type-10 Defender, the spaceship version of smacking someone to pulp with a comically large spoon
Your videos are at the top level, the music, teh voice along with this video editing is a MARVEL, waiting for the next ; )
Don't have to wait long. "The Krait" will be up tomorrow morning.
Low-Res Sneak Peak here: t.co/vBXtgyB7Y2?amp=1
Absolutely loved the thargoid sweeping camera. I really can't wait to see just how far you go. Keep it up
Really appreciate that you take the time and effort to upload in 4k. My 4k monitors and I thank you, good sir.
Orange paintjob with light blue accents would make for a good FTL Rebel Flagship
I have never used Engineers. I might for this ship. I only intend to mine with it and defend my full holds of Void opals and Diamonds. I have no beef with Thargoids. Humans. Always provoking wars and acting surprised when they get what they were after.
Plans change though. I do a lot of things I told myself I never would.
Great video! I should have mine after this work week. Work seems to eat up my gaming hours. I told myself I would not buy one till I had 750 mil in reserve. Currently using a type 9 to mine in.
space trucker! Also one of the best looking bricks out there :) Amazing video as always!
My favourite ship in the game. I took it on Distant Worlds 2 as a Hull Seal role, and I made it to Semotus Beacon, the farthest reachable point from Sol by any ship. Sure, other ships can do things better, but like it says, it can do more things, like the python. One thing you forgot to mention... you can park on top of the sun, as close as you want without hitting the exclusion zone, and go have lunch, it will not get past 65% heat.
Some of the best game vids I've ever seen, it's almost like listening to some kind of star history unfold, totally unique, love it.
That ship was probably the biggest surprise I had with ED vessels so far: it is actually a great multipurpose heavyweight. And that killer look!
The Voltron joke at the end got me good 😂
Awesome! I had mentioned this ship in a comment on one of your recent videos! Fantastic dude.
this is a brilliantly put together vid …. im gonna have to catch up with the rest
Great show bud. I absolutely love my T10. I named her "Beulah Ball Breaker" lol keep up the good work. Maybe do the krait MKii?
Named mine the INV Baby Killer.
Mate, love watching all your videos. They make me laugh so much, it’s great. Plus it makes me want to try every vessel for every scenario
I always love your reviews.
Are we going to see the FDL soon?
Eh....define "soon".
What a great video! Camerawork, voiceover, editing - just wow!
T-10 deserves to be counted among the cutter, corvette and conda.
I took my Type 10 all the way to Colonia and i would not think twice about doing it again. Its a marvelous ship, i fell in love with it when i first started flying it. everything about it just screams amazing. When i got back home, i renamed the ship "Battleship Rashida" and outfitted it entirely with cannons, and i was shocked to see how effective that was. #1 best ship in the game, hands down.
Just waiting for the corvette video
All his vids are so nice and well done
Cant wait for my fav ship!
"This is the Federal Corvette. From the first wire down to the last screw, it was designed and built for one, and only one purpose: to be an instrument of war. This ship isn't a miner, or a trader, neither is it an exploration vessel. It is an ode to destruction, a beautiful yet deadly embodiment of combat prowess, a tribute to the gods of war."
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM I guess due to its heat management.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM Right, it's the most maneuverable of the Big Three. It still feels like a blasphemy to put passenger cabins where the SCB, SLF hangar and hull/module reinforcements should go.
@@bujtorm Now I want to hear it with The Pilot's voice!
i agree, i like many of the ships in E:D but the corvette is by far my favourite
Epic combat montage! love the music and the 'big-ness' of it all!
That time of the month where I re-watch all these videos
I used to love watching Defender of the Universe and Battle of the Planets in my PJs on a Saturday morning!
Outstanding camerawork and postproduction.
Yeah I too love these videos :)
Type 10 may be my favorite daily driver ship.. its only Real drawback is supcruise turning is so slow it can get annoying, but you can sit right on a sun for scooping ..
Its a very capable ship with slots for days, and you can overcome a lot of that sluggishness with g3-5 engineering .. it’ll never be good for pvp against a dedicated fight ship like an fdl but when a T10 bursts onto the scene, you know the china shop is about to get wrecked. I mine and explore as space for fighters (multiple) is no problem, or fighters and srv both. Lots of cargo space and all the shield boosters you need .. engineer that armor and its a big fat brick.
Yeah, my girls big but she can dance.
To me it sounds like this ship is the closest anyone is going to get to flying a frigate in Ed.
That was a really well done video, and a refreshing take on the ship itself!
I always get the sense of how massive this thing is when i tumble my way through the access corridor of stations
I've never seen the t10 as a traditional 'combat ship', that title is reserved for the Vulture, the Chieftain, or the Federal Gunship.
The T10 is a siege weapon, meant to slowly advance onto the battlefield with 3 or more other T10s and just unleash a hurricane of Multicannon and laser fire, with packhounds screaming from launchers and fighters streaming from their bays.
It's meant to be a brick in a wall of steel, lead and blistering photons for the enemy to break themselves again.
The T-10 is best described not as a combat ship, but a pocket capital ship. It's designed to patrol the outer rim of pirates and criminals.
I really enjoy your work, thanks for the form and the facts.
Type 10 is my daily driver. Miner. Combat vessel. And all around fun ship. It does everything. My favorite. Thank you for this video.
Been waiting on a proper review on this, thanks man
Just like to say, that all people who play this great game needs to watch this set of video's. Thank you for you efforts and an excellent set of images.
I came to check your review on the T10 after owning one for about a month I needed a reality check, I truly feel comfortable in this ship, so much so I have 2 😀..I did take the time to G5 everything and she just soaks it up, barely ever losing a ring off the shields, even when dealing with 2 wings of npc’s. I’ve fitted turreted efficient pulse lasers all around with a mix of phasing and scramble. I don’t do AFK simply because I’m not interested in killing harmless or novice ships. That just gets boring. I take it into CNB’s or high res sites with a few tons of gold in the hold...it makes it more challenging and certainly more profitable and this way, it doesn’t always go my way..it can be very challenging, but very exciting. Great balanced review Cmdr..best wishes.
Amazing channel!! I love the videos! So much love and knowledge!
Got my type ten ages ago. Named it "Flying Fortress"
Watch this video.
Pilot sees it as a flying fortress too.
Awesome.
And i see it as a flying fortress
Damn, so we have same t10 name
