I never really bothered with it, tbh. Might have to try it out, though.

I use my Krait Mk2 for core mining.

Good video, that will serve Cobra-looking-to-move-up pilots well.

I use it from time to time. It has served well in ground-based missions where landing a bigger ship might be tricky.

Funnily enough, I thought that exact thing once I'd posted it.

It is geared for starter players, but it's also a fun little ship to play with. Give it a shot. ;-)

An enhanced t-6

I used to think it is slow.
Gave it a next chance recently in bounty hunting.
Now I think it is not much worse than Viper mkIV, you need about the same effort to get used to both of them with the same result.

It's great to upgrade from a DBS to the Keelback. Most of the core internals fit in both ships as well as the weapons.

Great work as always! I have never actually flown the Keelback as I am not super combat focused and the extra cargo in the Type-6 always won out for me. The Type-6 was when I'd switch to bulk trading for credits (this was back in the day of course).

The Keelback... it’s the ice cream truck for really really bad neighborhoods. I still have my first one, with it’s mine launchers and seeker missiles. Made Competent combat rank with it, before I moved up to a Type-7 for hauling, and my trusty Keelback became an installation raider.

Great, solid ship for small jobs.

True, it would be a better fit for new commanders.

Great video, as usual! Thanks for sharing.

The Keelback: much like the AspS before it, another booby-trap to be avoided on the way to an AspX.

It shouldn't be, but there we are.

About 3 million credits...

No, it's an enhanced version of the t-6 transporter

My bad, I thought "literally"...

Got mine when I needed a reasonably cheap ship for outpost missions. I don't really need it for that now (I have a Python), but I still use it as a general-purpose runabout / landing-craft / mats-gatherer.

Mine has a size 5 fuelscoop, Condor SLF, and dual SRV bay. It's also the cheapest ship in my fleet, so gets transferred a lot, it's my "go fetch another ship" ship. Of course there are cheaper options, but the SLF means I can swap between other ships with SLF's without accidentally deactivating my copilot.
