7 minutes. You actually watched it?
Well...I also put in some suggestions on what could be done to fix it. There's a bit of comedy in there too. And breaking down exactly how it falls short, and not just calling it a turd takes a bit of explanation.
Well, I did. But that's because I made it.
True, and thx for that
Maybe I'm lurking around this place much too long... In my eyes, since the introduction, this ship was mistake. A but ugly, inferior in everything waste of pixels. Thought that was a public secret
I'll eh.. get my coat....
Yeah, it's a sad little ship. I suppose you could make a Thargoid scout hunter out of it? No need for all the utility modules, it has good maneuverability to keep the scouts in sight, does not need to be fast for pursuits and has good fixed weapon placement. Though I'd probably still would want to have the small hardpoints upgraded to medium ones.
You nailed it. That was not the original line...I had to re-record from what I actually said.TL;DR
It's got a nice rear, but that's about it.
If it even had the 4 utility slots for anti-xeno stuff, it'd be more suited. But you really wouldn't want to take it against anything above Cyclops unless you were trying to prove a point.
Scout. Scouts only. An interceptor would probably eat the AspS for breakfast. In Thargoid space, lettuce eats you.
I'm inclined to agree. And personally, I wouldn't even attempt it. Not my bag. But I've watched enough people tank a Cyclops with a Sidewinder to realize that it's more than possible if you've got the timing. So, yes. You could take down a Cyclops with the Scout. But probably nothing else past that point.
You can't make videos about the ships in Elite without covering all of them. I love the Pilot's work. Looking forward to the FDL and Clipper.
those 7 minutes could be the most elaborate, thoughtful and well presented whining these forums have ever seen. watch it.
op, almost spilled my beer at "it's a waste of materials". nicely done, mr pilot!
These videos are just great! Some lol's and great video footage of the ships to go along. I love that Elite has dedicated fan content like this. I eagerly await your treatment of the venerable Type-9 Heavy (aka the Space Cow).
I love the series. I remember seeing isinona dog fighting something close to a planets surface in their usual faoff way. Mind you, they could make any ship look good.
Waiting for the... I don't actually know what I'd want you to do next. Maybe a Mk4, or the hauler.
