python in my hands: maneuverability is like shit npc python: maneuverability better than FDL

Anaconda "It does everything" Kay. I challenge you to a "dock at outpost" challenge

I've always thought that the cobra looks like it was originally the front part of a bigger ship that then detached like some sort of escape pod for the pilot.

This pretty much highlights my ship progression since I bought the game, went Sidey > Mk3 > Python > Anaconda and they've all been great

>DeLacy make all of godlike ships. There is a lot to think about.

Godlike-tier in a nutshell: Faulcon DeLacy

Personally I don't like big ships: unable to land on outposts, tricky to land on some planets, slow, cumbersome, and in the end not that much fun to fly around. The Python is great, but it barely flies better than the big ones, so to me the Krait MKII is the best overall ship in the game. Also, I like to be centered in the cockpit, and I like to have a "wide view of the universe" kind of cockpit, here again the Krait ticks all of the boxes. Actually that ship ticks all the boxes a CMDR may have, except far-range exploration: but guess what, there is the Phantom, and given that their modules are interchangeables, it ends up being basically one single ship, so even there the Krait delivers...

Last time I was this early Elite was bug-free

I think the Python is just among the best there is for mining and trading, and the absolute best for mission grinding and community goals. May not have the best cargo capacity, but still has better than anything else that can STILL land at outposts (you know, medium pads). For anything combat-related, including piracy and scavenging wrecks (whether or not you created those wrecks), Krait it is. May not be as sturdy as the Python, but it turns faster, flies faster, and it can have a ship launched fighter. You don't need any other ship in the game. Unless you wanna go around exploring, in which case the Krait Phantom will fulfill that purpose flawlessly. No rank grind, no landing restrictions involved for any of these 3.

Couldn't agree more with this list, and I'm glad I have all of them. Python and Conda are my two work horses of the game and couldn't be happier with them.

I remember back when I had my core mining clipper and thought "I'll get a Conda and move on to Cutter." What actually happened is that once I switched to Conda, I could never switch back to any other ship in its tier. It's just so god damn good at everything; just re-outfit and you could have a new explorer, fighter, miner, trader, passenger liner, or Xeno-hunter. While I haven't had enough credits/engineering to outfit it to the highest performance, it still exceeds in almost everything. It only really falters in solo engagements with other high-tier ships that manage to outmaneuver it.

Hey Yamiks, will you do a Ship Tier List based on their looks (including engine boost/sounds)? For me, the Adder and Dolphin would be pretty high. As on this video, good ol' DeLacy never disappoints us

A E S T H E T I C S are everything, so I have to go with the Krait every time.

Got them all :S Krait2 is my Jack of all trades, then I have a stable of specialists.

...am I the only one who likes the look of the Cobra 3? Looks like a stealth bomber, but bulkier

Cobra Mk 3 was indeed the best little ship. I sold it for my AspE, but I regretted it somewhat as it was such a pleasure to fly. Glad you ranked it godlike tier.

The good ol Python

The DBX was my cobra3 playing this game. I didn't care for trading and the cobras low shields bugged me so when I found out the DBX had the best jump range unengineered with more dps than a vulture I felt extremely powerful. And the overpowered fsd for it's size means even weighted down you can easily get around 30 ly without engineering and that's truly beautiful.

I usually don't sell my ships. The Anaconda was one of the few that I did. Was glad to see the back of it. Could not deal with anything that turned that slowly.

Hate how Cobra3 looks?! Blasphemy!

i remember watching some dude's stream and someone asked what early ship he should go for. i said the cobra 3 carried me from less than 1 mil credits to a ship worth about 12 mil and about 5 extra mil in credits.

Hi Yamiks, I've only been playing ED for just over a year now but I have the Anaconda and The Cutter and it's a hard choice between the two, The Cutter (when fitted out for cargo) holds about 500 tons which is really good for delivery missions etc but also doubles as a really good passenger/exploratory vehicle too. I use them both heaps and they have a long way to go with engineering so I'm not even getting the best out of them yet, totally agree with you on the Python, love your work :)

i knew it, my beloved python will always be my dakkaboat, my dbx my beloved "first 100kly trip" box and my conda brought me around the galaxy.... all have a place in my heart

Last time I was this early Elite was published by Acornsoft.

Quite the wonderful jizzing of a series there Yamiks. Definitely agree with you on this video and most of the other videos in general. That being said, probably because of my ingame persona of a raging Texan Space Cowboy, I will still love my Keelback and Type 10 regardless of how many people laugh at them.

If you want to move cargo with varying efficiency, buy a Lakon. If you want to fly a work of art, buy a Gutamaya. If you want to move passengers, buy a Saud Kruger. If you want to be good at things, buy from Faulcon DeLacy.

Hey Yamiks. I have an idea you might like: How about you do a closer in depth of some Elite ships and features, how they are bad, and then focus on what the devs should do to make them good (or at least playable)? A; you get to make more snarky videos. B; we get to enjoy more of your snarky videos. And C; I don't think the devs know what they are doing and could use some pointers. (Plus, a video wouldn't require them to read; something I am not sure they can do). Whatever you do, good luck with it. And, thanks for the laughs.

I expected a wank over the Python and I was not disappointed. Here's the thing though. You dinged the Corvette for its speed which is a hindrance in PvP. But the Anaconda, as good as it is, is even slower and has less shield. In fact, after you fly a Cutter and a Corvette for a while, Anaconda feels positively glacial, even after you trick out the thrusters. Its DPS is only higher on paper, too (assuming a stationary target and all weapons hitting all the time). Time on target is a thing - arguably, even the Cutter, despite having godawful handling and drift, can output more DPS if fitted right just because it will have easier time keeping up with the targets that play keepaway. Vette just burns things down ASAP because two huge hardpoints have a terrible power. I really wish Elite wasn't such a clusterfuck. It's got good bones. It would make an amazing single-player game. But Frontier is doing everything it can to run it into the ground.

3:53 it even scares little asteroids out of existence.

Notice how godlike multi roles are

At last! :D been waiting for this all week :D DeLacy Masterrace :D

I have every ship in the game and then some on XBOX, I use the Krait MKII for EVERYTHING (except PVE because I can literally just sit there not moving in my engineered 'Vette with turreted beams in a HazRes and kill anything that scans me, even large elite wings, without losing shields). The KRAIT MKII though, DAAAAAMN!

cobra 3 and krait mk 2 are my 2 fav ships in the game

My Krait mk2 was the first ship i bought after a life of hauling, so its special to me and the one i dedicate hours and hours of build tests and customization. I know is not the best but i dont need nor want anything better.

The only reason I preferred the Krait MkII over the Python, is because of the Large Hardpoint placement. Against Small & Medium Ships, feels easier to hit with all 3 Adv. Plasma Accel. with the former, I only use the SLFs because... well, the Krait supports it. Plus that the Krait looks somewhat better than the Python, 'specially with their Ship Kits

wow, what a great narration this time, this series belongs in a "must-have" playlist for all things E:D. Very well done!

I've got almost every ship in the game. I have all the big boys. The anaconda is by far the best ship in the game

I like the python, i really do, but i can never fly one for long, the cockpit does not allow it.

I agree about Anaconda being a GODLIKE ship, but disagree about it being the best ship. For only one reason: It is a large ship, thus can not land on Outposts (the orbiting ones, not the planetary ones). If you want to do certain types of transport-missions (those that give you materials as rewards), some of them require you to go to such an outpost, which means you can not do them. (Yes, you usually have more then one mission that gbives you this rewards AND go to a station with a large pad, but you might have to wait on a board-refresh or you have to change the system you are in... so you are less flexible with the Anaconda.) So for me, the Krait MKII is the best ship (if you really want to do EVERthing in the game and be as flexible as possible). However, both of those ship are still not my FAVORITE ships in the game. ;)

Python is my favorite ship as well. No idea why people complain about the manuverability. I specifically use it because it's good good maneuverability, in contrast to the Anaconda or Cutter or almost any other large ship. I'd use it for everything if it could have a bigger jump range. But since I'm an explorer, I have to stick to ASP Explorer and Anaconda.

i can agree to this list, the cobra was a great ship in the start for me, then i went mining with a type 7 for LTDs and in 2 runs i was able to afford a conda, i dont think i will ever use any other big ship than the conda besides a corvette, love the conda..i highly suggest getting it, its able to have 70+ LY jumps

Is there something like FashionElite?

around 0:23 - 0:24 ....that's a changeling for a moment?

I fly the krait mk2 and I cream pythons easily

Adding to the OP-ness of the Anaconda is the fact they will literally *give* you one if you fly to Hutton Orbital...

Krait Mk 2 is the best ship in game. Tried the rest and fly the Krait mk 2. The fighter bay more than makes up for the slightly lower stats compared to a python. Additionally, it has much better maneuvering, the best hard point placement in the game, and everything you need for any job. About the Mk2’s hardpoints and why I say it has the best placement in the game is that if on of your weapons can hit a target they all can due to the side + top configuration. There are no hardpoints on the bottom. IMHO the best configuration for this ship is a ungimballed laser fighter @ highest rank pilot you can obtain and level up + gimballed multicannons and flak cannons. The fighter will eat through the shields quickly and you can finish them off with your multis and flaks. The drawbacks on the python and anaconda are the hard point placements really. Sure the anaconda can pack a punch, but that only counts if the ship is directly in-front of you. Its slow turn speed cripples it in combat to where 90% of the time only half of your weapons will be firing. Additionally, the cockpit placement is so far back you will feel like you are flying a star destroyer vs x-wing fighters vs any smaller ship. The large hard point is on the bottom, so unless you invert your turn direction (turning down instead of up) expect you will only be hitting it with your top mounted hard points. Admittedly the python is a great ship but the ship suffers from similar hard point issues as the anaconda. That coupled with the slower turn rate and lack of a fighter bay knock this ship down a peg from top spot. If you are after a cheap but powerful ship to pvp in the go for the cobra mk 3. Once engineered it can be very powerful.

Asp x should have some creds. For newbies its the best mule of the game imo

I got my Conda 2 weeks ago, and I couldnt be more happy with it. Its a real beast for combat. The low hull mass allows you to be right there on the Class 7 shield "Optiaml Hull Mass" magical number. All the ships I got soo far (some I kept till this day): Sidewinder -> Cobra MKIII -> Diamond Explorer -> Type 6 -> ASP Explorer -> Type 7 (horrible heat management) -> Kraith Phantom (one of the best and cheapest mid size ships to get) -> Kraith MKII -> Python -> Clipper (haven't found a real use for it yet) -> Anaconda (The one to rule them all).

I'm living in the krait mk2 atm.

Anaconda has a really sad face on top of it when you get the landing window in station! Just wait until you notice it! lmao

Lol I love your videos and the Python is the Best Ship Ever!

Ya right, just include only multipurpose ships yamicks, would've been better if you included the best ship for each role. Like fdl for combat, cutter for trading and piracy and conda for exploration.

I've played the python. I sold it, bought a Krait Mk2 and never looked back.

i love the fact that the best ships in the game are all Delacy, thats why i love them

All amazing ships. Others have complained they only do other things decently. Non, these are all ships that do their job WELL, in competition with the specialist ships for capability. Also the Conda is cheaper and doesn't require rank grinding like the corvette and Clipper.

You forgot how catfish Anaconda looks like ,but still is my fav ship though.

I saw the same... 1. From the Sidevinder i bought Cobra, 2. Then i bought Asp explorer, but it's not necessary, i just folloved guides, you should better buy Pithon after Cobra. 3. So i bought The best Pithon, it is good for PvE and OK for PvP. It is not FDL though. Passanger missions also best to run using Pithon. 4. And finally i bought Anaconda - The end! Next goes the pvp the social play friends and so on. DB Explorer - your absolutly needed everiday taxi. Pull your ships to the place you want. Fer de lance only PvP choise. Type 9 for mining and trading loops.

Once I made enough money to get the so called ‘glorius’ python, I took it out of the station, spun it round, and immediately sold it to buy a krait. The python is just awful to fly, whilst being worse looking, being more expensive and only having slightly better optionals than the krait. Since, I’ve flown pretty much every ship- nothing beats the krait in the jack-of-all trades category.

The python is actually a passenger transport in disguise, able to carry more passenger modules than any other medium ship

Cobra 3 and Phantom is almost everything i need in this game.

"That's just like your opinion, man." Lebowski.

The Cobra Mk III has a major flaw - the lack of class 3 compartments. Wanna use at least minimal (class 3) shields? Sacrifice a big cargo slot. Wanna use a decent fuel scoop that's more than just a last resort for emergencies? Sacrifice another big cargo bay. That's where the Cobra Mk IV is a huge upgrade (besides the abysmal speed). You can fit minimal shields and a decent fuel scoop in that ship and still have more cargo capacity than a Cobra Mk III with no shields and no scoop.

My progression was Sidey, Adder/Hauler, Type 7, Anaconda (sold it after I got my next ship), Vette, Cutter, Exploraconda, Python (I only still own the last 4)

slave-to-sloylent-green-dispenser made me laff :D

an engineered exploration build w/o SRV but everything else on the Cobra can hit 49.x Ly while boosting above 400ms and idling at 330 in scm. Add its ability to spin like a beyblade compared to the 'conda and its selling price makes it a ridiculously versatile ship. If we ever get 4A advanced thrusters, it'll break 1000m/s in boost no sweat. It truly has no downsides. The Anaconda is always dealing with glacial handling. All of its benefits are tainted by the problem of getting it to point somewhere or away from something in scm. But the Cobra? nothing. I had always dreamt of taking a cobra to beagle point, saying "look guys, I took a dinky starter to the other side of the galaxy!" But once you play with it in coriolis you realize that its the easiest ship to go there with. Got blown up? Who cares, rebuys are 500k a pop. SLF? the Cobra IS the SLF. SRV? What for? I can get the pilot's seat of a cobra closer to the ground than the drivers seat in an SRV. Interdicted on your way back in to the bubble? Yeah right, like an FDL is going to catch you. Comparing it to a multitool makes multitools look bad, that's how versatile this little monster is. It does EVERYTHING. There are no downsides. WTF, FDev?

Cobra mk3: super cheap only 300k **Actually a grading a cobra for combat**: 9 million

So glad as a new player but a veteran gamer I was able to go straight from the sidewinder to the mk3 to the python to the andaconda knowing with little to no research they are good. Then have amazing experiences with each. And come to find out by elite veterans I made the right choice. now for the fun bit....... engineers..... oh look a shopping list ಠ_ಠ

Still think they need an Anaconda mk2 that has the bottom matching the top. Maybe add a bit more cargo space. Keep everything else.

Do you still stand by this list? IS Anaconda still godlike OP? IS Python and Krait? I love how Python looks, but I love cockpit of Krait more.

I had a type 9 trying to make big money freighting, the thing let me down to raiders twice. I replaced it with a python, and now I actually enjoy the game.

Cobra mk3 is god like for sure... my favorite ship in the game 👍👍

The Beluga is the best long-range Fuel Rat ship ever. If you need to jump across half the galaxy to save someone's sorry ass, do it in style and rub it in with a Beluga!

They should make a Cobra which fits on a Conda as the cockpit/control and you get to detach it for landing or if the Conda blows up. I mean, the shape looks just like the cockpit section of the Conda.

I wound up selling my Python (well, the second one) for a second Krait mk II. Flying the Python just isn't anywhere near as fun to me, specifically the view. Those canopy struts on the Python are in some of the worst spots in my opinion, and so as a miner it's just... Ehhhh, not my thing compared to the Krait. For hauling though, I've kept my Python, as it's just so much easier to cram 200 tons of cargo into a Python. I am slightly biased though, I love the Krait, it's sounds, and my main exploration vehicle is a Krait Phantom so I've grown rather used to that nice, surprisingly not all that obstructed view the canopy has.

Nice work. In my case I am struggling with ship comparisons. I require optional internals that support: vehicle hangers 2h, economy class passenger cabins, and slots for collector, fuel transfer, and repair limpets on a medium sized platform. I am looking at the Krait Phantom, and the Python and they are one optional internal short. I am looking for a coast guard cutter kind of philosophy doing Search and Rescue, salvage, some exploration, and self defense.

Ah yes, DeLacy's magical unicorn fart dust in all of their ships. Still boggles my mind how the Type7 and the Python have the same cargo capacity. Even though one of them is much larger, heavier, has less armor, and requires a Large pad instead of medium.

What song is playing in the background?

Krait MK2, it's basically a python but not quite as good, but has a hanger bay. that about sums it up for me too... It's my primary combat ship.

The Python is the Boeing 757 of elite dangerous. extremely versatile and overpowered for its size.

I have the anaconda and i absolutely love it. Dropped some dosh so I could get the blindingly bright edgelord red neon skin, and went mining. Had enough firepower to fuck over any pirates that wanted my shit, 2 medium slots to powerdick the asteroids into submission, and tons of cargo space to hold the hundreds of limpets i would inevitably eject into the cold void of space where they would forever be, as nobody in their right mind would ever pick up an abandoned limpet

Tell me why I just spent 20 minutes trying to pause the video as soon as the little pony thing popped up

0:52 This is one mean looking black Python 👍👍

What does this video teach us? Faulcon DeLacy knows their shit.

Looking this vid 3 hours after buying Anaconda. And... It is really fantastic! I handled some huge things, but never THAT HUGE! It is really, really big. It is enough big for me to feel a bit lost inside, cuz it has more internal(and not only internal) slots then I can use xD

The only thing I don't like about the Anaconda is the cockpit placement, if I could fly from that little glass area under the nose, 11/10 perfect ship. I just don't like driving from the back seat on the bus.

I wanted to say the most godlike ship is the Corvette, as with engineering and guardian booster, its jump range is actually pretty good and therefor can do everything bar PVP. However, I always almost go back to the Anaconda for nearly everything except PVE.

I’ve almost never used a Cobra. My progression has been Sidewinder, Hauler, Viper, Diamond Back Scout, Type 6, Type 7, Krait 2.

I only start feeling safe to trade when I am inside the Anaconda. It huals huge amount of cargo with armor and gun. Usually the npc priates will die when they want to rob me.

Good choices! Once you have any of these ships, you have access to the whole game. I'd add the Asp Explorer to this list. I have more time in the Python, AspX and Conda vs all the other ships put together.

Kudos for jumping over your own shadow and recommend a ship you consider a study of ugliness.

This video is pure deLacy Merchandising

I sold my cutter and bought a Type 10.😆

Godlike ships on KZfaq: Godlike ships in interdiction: "Oh shit, a Viper!11!!1!!1!"

I find his hatred of the 10, funny.

I love auto generated subtitles

Faulcon DeLacy. Our ships are God tier!!!

if the cobra mkIII had the boost sounds from the Beluga, I'd never fly anything else. After attempting ceos-sothis missions with the beluga, dying 3 times in a row with full passenger cabins and having to ship it and my asp back and forth. im never flying this tin can again. time to fit a conda with passenger cabins...

> python has a modest size It's literally bigger than a 747

I approve everything said on this videos and it's previous ones alike.

I would love the cobra 3 if the seat was center, but as it is now, I can’t use it.
