New Type 10 bugs me.
I just got one and wow. I mean if Frontiers idea of getting people involved with the Thargoid story was to give us a mediocre ship that costs a billion credits to pimp out and has a 35 mill buyback, Then something is wrong with them at development headquarters. The ship is to expensive and does not do a good enough job to get everyone involved and stoked. It should be better at one thing. Killing Thargoids and protecting the pilot from Thargoid damage.
It is a alright sturdy ship. I like the look of it. Flies awesome in VR. Cool looking cockpit and dash. It IS slow as a slug though. I think my Beluga turns faster then it. It is the whole concept of the ship that bothers me though. Its like a symbol of how badly outta touch the devs are with the current state of the game, the playerbase and story line. This ship needs some love and a serious discount. It is not enough to get me stoked to go kill Thargoids and get involved with the story. I ground my tush off for this thing and its just disappointing. Granted I am not a pro by any means at killing things in Elite. Was kinda hoping this ship would be enough to get me over that hump to feel confident enough to take on a Thargoid. Sadly it does not.
I am going to sell it and just buy a Annaconda and be just like the rest of the cookie cutter playerbase i guess. If you can afford a pimped out type ten you can afford a pimped out Annaconda. The Annaconda is just better all around for the price you pay. Was really hoping this ship would be the end ship for Thargoids though. The one that finally gave me that one up as a average run of the mill player. I was really looking forward to totally changing my way of playing and just going out there and cleaning up the galaxy. Not gonna happen though. I just cannot master killing a Thargoid in anything. Some will read this and think i wanted some kinda easy button for Thargoids and i will answer that is exactly what i wanted. A ship with one purpose that does it better then the rest. A ship to get me involved and immerse me in a part of the game i never felt comfortable in. A SHIP TO KILL FOOKIN THARGOIDS WITH EASE WITHOUT BEING SOME MLG PRO WITH A ZILLION CREDITS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
Grrrr, Yeah the type 10 bugs the knickers off me! [mad]
