So I am trying the Keelback...is it made from a scrapyard?

[Shintai]

The thing shakes like crazy when throttling up or down that you think your eyes are broken.

And when facing a star, the canopy isn't helping!

Did anyone wonder why people dont fly these?

 

[TomP]

It's cheap and cheerful. What were you expecting?!

 

[Pville_Piper]

I dunno... Been having fun in mine. Not a bad little mission runner.

Nope not made from a scrap yard, Just Cardboard, Duck Tape and 'No More Nails'

I pretend i'm piloting a Harrier Jump Jet when flying mine It does have a certain charm that grows on you......

 

[CMDR Goro]

I like it cause it was made on scrapyard

That the salesman at least could have waited laughing till I exited the station!

+1! That was funny!

I had such high hopes for that ship. Just better jump range and some more speed, and it would be a great little ship.

I am hoping we get windscreen cleaner dude/service to stations. I hate the dirty windscreen effect every ship has.

I quite like the Keelback after the update and buff. It's like a fat Cobra that can carry a fighter. Looks nice too - shame it still handles like a beached whale with motivational issues.

So engineer it, I suppose. I struggled with it's terrible maneuverability more so than it's speed.

 

[Shintai]

I may note I'm happy as such about the ship. The shaking however is the worst part.

I did not clean my tv, before realizing it was an in-game effect honest (or get my wife to clean screen with a wetwipe!)

 

[Spacecat]

I bought one and engineered it. See my thread in ships forum. It's actually ok for passenger missions, not much else.

With the Keelback and T6 I always feel like I'm sat in a flying conservatory with the panes on the cockpit. As for the keelback's construction, it reminds me of when Blue Peter made Tracy Island out of three empty bog roll tubes and a cornflakes box.

 

[Mysturji]

You gotta admit... It's better than a T6

Makes a decent miner, at least.

 

[CMDR Ellegon]

T-6 reminds me of this (Keelback as well):

I am, however, not sure if the T-6 or the cardboard box have more survivability if you get attacked.

The Keelback is a bus called Heaven.

The Keelback is a bus called Heaven.

The Keelback just needs some paint schemes now.

 

[Volimar]

We all know the what the Keelback really needs...




A squeegie.
