Pre-built Cheftain specific feedback, following a Titan visit

[rootsrat]

I took the pre-built Chieftain listed here to the Titan on my live stream today and I have some feedback:

• Firstly, it is NOT useless and trash, as some click-baity threads, posts and videos suggested.
• Saying that, it is trying to do 3 different Titan activities at once - tissue sample gathering, AX ship combat, Titan Core assault. And it is below mediocre for all 3 of these activities.
• It does not have to necessarily excel in any of them, but if it was specialised towards one, it would be just enough to be OK.

Improvement suggestion: make 3 specialised pre-built Chieftain AX packages for each of the above activities. As an example: for sample and material gathering give it Anti Corrosive Cargo Rack, ditch the weapons and replace them with Abrasion Blaster and Subsurface Missiles. Ditch the Enhanced Xeno Scanner.

Etc. I'm sure you (FDEV) can come up with suitable OK-ish builds for each of these activities. In the current shape and form it's just not quite enough for any of them (while still able to do each of these activities, but it's a real pain - also consider that Titans are end-game activity.)

I thought the pre-built DBX was an exploration ship. Thread title mishap maybe?

I thought the two prebuilt existing ships were the Chieftain and the Type 6

Those were the ones FDEV chose to reveal in advance, while also stating that there would be more on release day.

And they just recently announced a DBX pre-built. However, rootsrat seems to be talking about the Chieftan pre-built and not the DBX.

My bad, i meant Chieftain! It was late and my brain was still on board Python Mk2

Fixing now.

LOL how was this able to be posted but when I propose a Coriolis build for a pre-built ship, it gets closed, on account that I didn't use the "The pre-built Chieftain is terrible" thread? Did Frontier finally come to terms with the fact that that other thread was negatively named?
