Hey everyone, just wanted to say thank you so much for watching, and let me know down below what ship you'd like to see next. (Sidewinder is next week. I mean, after that.) If you like what you saw, consider hitting the Subscribe button, and if you already have, then thank you again, and I’ll see you next time.

This ship will always hold a special place in my heart just for that one time I saved my Anaconda-flying wingmate by ramming his attacker with my Type-7. Stories for the grandkids XD

Long live the space brick. This ship got me out of my Asp X and will always hold a place in my heart. With this ship I reached Top 10 commanders in a couple of material trading CG's and I rode this thing all the way to Python. Is it a good ship? No. But it's my ship and I loved it.

Honestly these are the best ship reviews i've seen.

Poor T7 gets so much hate. I'll always love you. My first real ship. First one that I liked how it looked. Let me live the dream as a space trucker. First ship I ever flew that felt like it had personality. I took that space brick to Colonia and it was the best trip out I've had to date. But I may have the space madness. I love you T7.

I named mine “Hold My Beer.” Rigged it out for station rescues, but none have come under attack since I got it.

As a former trucker, European so we love our rectangles apparently, I can only love this ship even though it sucks in so many ways. But just like with our real world trucks, we love complain about them to infinity and beyond. So the Type 7 kinda gives me something back that I really loved and miss about trucking. Thanks for the tip on the rescue missions, I haven't been playing that long and they look awesome to do with the Type 7!

Its pitch and yaw outmatches any large ship, makes getting out of interdiction easy, the overheating is a character quirk I would miss (although it never really overheats ). Wonderfully quick supercruise and responses. I named mine " Hand Over Fist" for the money it makes me. This ship epitomizes space trucking....because it makes you "feel" like you are piloting. Is it the best ? No....but damn I love its sad character. Your videos are finely done sir, I thank you for the work you do. Peace all...til Thargoids show.

I was laughing so hard at the Alien reference, I was grabbing my chest....wait. shit.

This is my guilty pleasure ship. I love it. I love how it looks, I love how it sounds, I like that it is an underdog. And heat management for me is more akin to a fun challenge rather than a severe design flaw. It is like I have a spiritual connection to it.

The Type-7 makes for a surprisingly good explorer. It's very maneuverable in supercruise and has more than enough internal slots to carry everything you'll need for a trip to the fringes of the galaxy. Moreover, with engineering it's capable of reaching a 55 lightyear jump range, which is definitely nothing to scoff at.

"This seems like the ship Lakon forgot." Well umm, aren't we forgetting about the type 8? Still waiting for a review...

I am thankful for this ship because it's what got me to my Python and was a big help through my first 150 missions.

The Tonka truck of space. Memories with this ship. I was playing online and this poor eagle squad died to me as I boosted full speed into the dock as they were trying to leave. Killed all 3 by sending them all flying.

Too funny, my old Type 7 was also named Nostromo

I absolutely love the type 7. Every time I see one I know there’s a couple hundred tons of diamonds coming into my cargo hold in a few minutes. Also love these reviews super well done man.

Man, I completely love your reviews. You always tell the *story* of a ship design and really give it life. It's an honest review that convinced me to buy my Type-7 "Satellite of Love" which has become my favourite vessel. I just love the idea of a rescue ship named as such flying into burning station and forcing people to watch bad movies on the way to the Rescue Ship. You're the best. Keep flying!

My T-7 (Archibald Haddock) was used to smuggle weapons during the Lugh Liberation Conflict. A job it some how did surprisingly good at. Presumably because the blockade didn't think a T-7 would be seriously used to smuggle weapons. Afterwards the Archibald Haddock was reconfigured for Surface and/or Orbital Salvage and Recovery. With a bit of engineering a Jump range of a fraction over 45ly with shields, and an SRV bay is achieveable. It might just be the ship best suited for spending hours/days planet side ferreting around. Putting the largest 'A-Rated' Power Plant in helps with heat management. Don't get me wrong, it still warms up during the charge phase of the FSD, but it's no longer a Flying Oven.

“What kind of heat syncs are on the FSD?” Lakon: “the pilot is the heat sync”

The space brick is one of my most favourite ships. It got me through the early game with low risk laser mining and is probably the closest thing in the game that deserves the title of "space truck"

My type 7 got me into a clipper after doing rescue missions off a damaged stations for the imperials. So it has a special place in my heart.

Take this ship fill it up with business/economy cabins go to passenger missions in a star port adjust the settings above to show only BULK passenger missions. These missions only have you go from point A to point B. Delivering bulk tourist destination trips. You will have earned your credits back on your ship in less then an hour.

I bought my Type 7 precisely for the star port rescues when they were attacked by Thargoid bombs. I named mine “Mackenzie Airlift” (for station Mackenzie) and have fond memories of her.

When you switch over to the Type-9 Heavy for a few days the 7 feels like like a toy. Put the largest rack in every slot and you've got nearly 800 units of cargo space. You might want to leave room for a docking computer, but it will still scrape the paint nearly every time it goes through a slot. Better to learn how to do it yourself and let the computer take over AFTER your in the bay so you can spend the time plotting the return trip before the ship's even touched down. If your worried about combat.. don't be. Smart pirates are more interested in cargo than carnage and the irony of hauling close to double what any other ship could possibly hold is that even if you dumped 100 units you'd only be slicing about one seventh off your profit margin. You've got more coin then they have pocket, and with a bit of shrewd Tyrion Lanister style negotiating you might be able to convert a fellow commander from would be pirate into a temporary escort.

So many months has passed and, yet, this review continues so solid. As a Type-7 lover, it's to hard to admit that the T-7 is the ship that the Lakon saddlly hasn't finished.

I really love the look of the 7. It looks like a space truck. I also struggled to find a purpose for this ship, and after engineering out the heat problem, I came to the same conclusion. The transporter is a rescue ship. I’ve kitted mine out with Guardian reinforcement modules and decontamination limpets so I can run rescues out in ‘goid space.

Congrats on another great vid! Was legitimately thinking about grabbing one of these for rescue missions. Glad to see it pretty much lives up to what people have been telling me about it!

A really well thought out and well written review, with excellent video and editing. Thanks. o7

COME BAAAACK DUDE!! Just have fun. Collaborations were always great too.🙏👍🏽👍🏽

Thanks so much for this review, when the damaged stations were announced this week I knew just what to buy and I knew to engineer some better heat management. And soon I will have a Cutter and perhaps a Corvette to show for it.

Amazing videos. Looking forward to more!

I loved it. It got me to the anacanda. I found a single jump trade run. It did amazing. For beginner Traders, it's a nice step up from the type 6.

I love my T7, and after a few talks with Farseer about a Shielded FSD that solved my heat issue and got me to nearly 30LY range, just enough to enjoy some Exploration with a little salvaging along the way

Dude I absolutely love these ship reviews! I'd love to see how you'd do a viper mk3 vid. o7

thanks for the Video. I'm in the Witchead-Sector right now sitting in my Type-7. Enjoying the fireworks and rescuing some people.

♥ Do the DBX next. doesn't go as far as a 'Conda but you can pack everything you need on 'er and she'll keep right on ticking. Especially with the 2 free C1 Module slots we just got. And she doesn't handle like a whale in molasses.

Love the Type 7. This was the ship that paved the way to my Anaconda. Just a great ship. Used it as a passenger ship (Ceos to Sothis runs) Its sad that ive moved on from it now that i have the Conda and unlocked the Cutter.

Awesome Video reviews here! I was hoping you'd mention the "temperature Critical" and Man!? You nailed it.

Loving this series, keep up the great work :)

Just found your vids been watching them all night till I passed out.

" let me take my soothing voice and give you a brightside and all these ships you've never thought twice about" ❤️

The T7 makes an interesting exploration ship too. I flew my T7 out to Beagle Point and back.

Used the Type-7 _Galactic Mercy_ as a rescue ship. Then she earned me loads of money doing Robigo > Sothis passenger missions. Now she's in drydock, but she'll be rescuing people as long as people need rescuing.

I share a lot of my modules with my Vulture etc so my T7 is fully geared and its actually one of my favourite ships but my god, my first time flying one only to find out that the outpost I traded at regularly couldn't take me in. and then finding out that a Python could, Frontier really pissed me off with that one ha

You have a talent for video editing too. That intro is something very touching.

Que preciosos son tus videos, gracias por este contenido.

Great review. I’m impressed you found a use for the Type 7. I’ve never owned one in my relatively short time in the game and this review lists a lot of reasons why that’s the case. But yeah I like that you had a heart for an unloved ship. It was a cool way to do a negative review.

Holy shit on a stick wielded by Yamiks to beat a dead horse! These reviews are by far the most beautifully and thoughtfully crafted pieces of Elite Dangerous work I've come across since the Space Tourism series and the Christmas miniseries. Utterly incredible ❤

I’m years later but I love these reviews so much man

Great review dude! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks.

You are the Jeremy Clarkson of Elite Dangerous ship reviews. Great stuff. I love it!

Subscribed just because of the name Nostromo. I love the Alien franchise and these are great videos. Thanx for the reviews

I like the space truck. I went on the DW2 expedition with it.

I just love the way you present the Elite Ships..So I subscribed hehehe

One of the few trade ships that took me to the rebuy screen back in the day.

For all those that grew up in the 80's.. This IS BJ and The Bear ship. Add the red striped paint job. "A buck and a half a light year. No questions asked."

I flew the Type-7 for a single trade circuit and then realized I could haul the same amount on a Python albeit like you said for a much higher investment but a smaller pad etc. However, I must admit that after flying the Type-7, running cargo in the Python feels like doing Amazon Prime deliveries in a Ferrari 😎

This is one of my favorite videos, mostly due to the longer intro music, and the radio static in the background. I don’t fly my T-7 anymore, because my other ships are far superior. “Ambergris” I called her; not particularly pretty, but definitely valuable. Delivering food cartridges and algae to military bases, and then returning with a hold full of bio waste was easy money. Also, hopping back and forth in the same system is a great way to avoid interdiction.

Really needs a buff on the internals to be as efficient as a trader as it's size lets you think (like 1 or 2 class 7 instead of the class 6). Used mine as a rescuer vessel like you said, a while back, and that is trully a role where it shines. I loved that ship. Can't think of a better one for the job actually (except the Python of course, but the Python is pretty much good at everything).

I have been watching all of these. This one made me giggle the most. I also sort of want to buy one now.

I love your review style

Great intro! Very cinematic!

Man i just found your channel and now in binge watching. Love your reviews. Keep it up. You are calm and serene, like an anti-yamkis. Lol. Hope i spelled his name right. Love his stuff too. .

It really needs to be classed as a medium or to have a size 2 hardpoint or one more size 4+ internal slot to be useful. I used mine to fund a Type-9 prior to Opal mining by shipping Medicines to Rescue ships.

You are the best, The Pilot. Thanks for this video.

Awesome freaking review you just got yourself a sub....cheers

Nice video, i thing it'd be nice to mention that this ship is pretty light for his FSD class and makes a nice long-range cargo ship, if you want to move shit to Colonia for exemple i'll recommand it.

Another great ship review....... Frontier Developments should be paying you royalties for the way you inspire us back into the cockpit.

5:00 The burning station is just beautifull

Great videos! You mentioned the Diamond Back scout. The most super sneaky super cold running ship in the game. It was the ship I used during "the Gnosis event" and had no issues with Hydras as they couldn't see me at all. I call mine Sithis after the the cold dark empty void of space it blends so well into. Hacking, spying, sneaking, smuggling are what the little scout does so well. Just make sure you never use a shield though....or weapons as you won't need them. However it used to be the meta ship for cold running combat back in the day. Anyway look forward to whenever you do review the DBS. Keep up the great work and subbed.

Imagine a convoy of Type 7 equipped with Reverberating Cascade torps. Should be a dream come true

Great video!

Not only is my "Big Bertha" great at transporting cargo, she's also great for outfitting for short passenger transport such as damaged star port evacs.

The Type 7 is a gorgeous, broken brick. If I had to say it had any functional use at all, it would be as a limpet carrier for a mining wing. She's a chonky, brittle loot pinata on the best of days, and a pricey rebuy on the worst.

I still have one and can't sell it for some reasons. I'll give it a try in rescue missions soon, thx!

You make talking about these ships fun.

I love that you named your space brick "Nostromo"

It's been working for me. I don't swear by it, but it hasn't failed me. Good cargo hold, and agile enough avoid interdictions in it.

212th sub. You earned it with quality work

your doing the space lords work. love it!

3:05 That was actually the very first thing I noticed about the Type-7 when I first bought one and sold it ten minutes later.

I'd like to see your review of a Type-10. I'm not a fan boy of the T-10, but I am using one to explore right now. Fully outfitted (fighter hangar, SUV hangar, weapons, limpets, etc.) and still getting a respectable 31 LY jump range. Yes, engineered a little.

Your Shipvids are fantastc loveletters to the ships.. I like them almost always forgot to push the like Buttons.. will do that right now on all of them! thanks for the entertaining

I start the same every time Type 6 Type 7 Then get my true goal, the type 9 Space trucking ain’t easy

I'm a mad boy who took a Federal Corvette to Sag A, through Colonia and back. I'd love to see your take on it.

Nicely Done!

I really like the type 7 :( I don't play for long enough to tell you what ship is better than what, or at what... but I like the way it looks, and I am always happy to see it over the horizon when I tumble down the hill with my SRV. So if you ever see me flying in my Type-7, give me a wave and a honk, maybe some protection because I may need it!

I literally bought this ship for rescue missions. I'm super glad to see that I got the right ship (although I've definitely run out of business in that profession right now).

I use it as a SAR Ship Repair and Refuel with a Big Tank so you can jump really long and still can refuel a comrade in need works excellent for this job

With the Type-7 I used to do CG's in open, you could fit just enough armour and countermeasures to be able to survive most ganking attempts. And I went to Colonia, fully loaded obviously, without any neutron highways or faraway bases to ease the trip which took me 1 month at least. These underdog ships will always have their appeal, it's the immersion of being in an old piece of junk, on a desperate mission, against all odds..

Absolutely love this series, any idea what's next on the list?

I named mine "PeRsOnAl NaRrAtIvE" and use it as a material grinder (cargo, collector limpets, surface and wake scanner, planetary hangar)... this thing has no friggin' right being so damn manoeuvrable, i love how fast it can turn.

My T-7, The Snowman, runs cool and slick. I realised that the secret to the heat management was to decide what you need to run and pick a plant of the right size. I run her unarmed so I only need a 3A plant. My only complaint is the lack of paint jobs. I wanted something frosty themed but no luck. Have to make do with the bobblehead (called Fred) in cockpit. Now all I need is a wingman in a FDL or Mamba with a black paint job to run interference.

Ok, you got your thumbs-up as soon as i saw the name of the ship... LOL

i used a type 7 to get my federation rear admiral rank for my now engineered corvette, but i just forgot about it. but im not missing hitting my forehead on the mailslot top everytime i enter a station

After climbing up the ship ladder I was sad that my t7 was collecting dust. Now she's fully engineered and I use her for HGE farming, I'm glad to fly her again.

I've had elite for a year or two, but never really got into it. It seemed so daunting but some of your videos insights have helped me, I appreciate it just so you know it's a nice step away from the other Commanders over the top umm personalities let's say.

Wish I hadn't sold mine. Ferrying tourists and goods back and forth for weeks until I could buy something bigger. I never fixed the paintwork so it was covered in scratches by the time I got rid of it. It had character!

I use my Type-7 for cargo missions, granted it not the best but i honestly say it's a good intermediate option to pick from when working with a low budget

I've flown a T7 to Colonia and back and I entirely agree with you. At least it's cheap.
