You should be appointed a saint

I love my FDL, currently has a galaxy wide bounty of 35.5M credits, for last 4 years 😂 A corvette once found me on 10% shield, I let him take my shield down before returning fire, he went from money hungry to desperate for escape in about 90 secs 😂

Frontier having a designer spend a few hours creating a new ship and changing power play is just another slap in the face to players... Waive bye bye to Frontier... They cooked themselves... 💥

The Assault Ship might be an unconventional ship for exploration, but you don't need more than 40ly jumprange and that's not too hard to do with a Assault Ship. And I think it looks really good with the icarus red paint job. Anyway, nice to see the Assault Ship getting the love it deserves

Another great review, thanks alot for this content

people still playing this in 2024?

I don't think it's ugly.

Weapons that roll out and telescopically extend in length are an idea that is ludicrously piled up in the game. I want to see a meme where there is a thin stick, from which the material first rolls out in width, like a roller shutter, then it unfolds in height, then telescopically extends in length - and you get a dropship

I have one setup with Gimballed Frags, comes out being pretty fun

Honestly, I bought one just for the fact it has 4 medium hardpoints which I could slot packhounds into. 2 Small Thermal Vent 1 Large Thermal Shock beam laser, 4 packhounds. Not the most effective build I'll admit, but fun

I pay some respect to all the Federal med ship variants just before I eliminate them from existence in my min-maxed Corvette ;)

can u take off the mic

I think the Gunship looks way better than the Dropship and Assault ships. The rear spoiler on the Gunship balances the look of it visually.

Out of the three, the Assault Ship is the one i hate the most to fight against. It doesn't have the DAKA of the Gunship or the... <insert thing not meh> of the Drop ship, but it has the best balance of maneuverability to DPS.

I have a federal dropship i use for ground attack Loaded with advanced missile racks that thing is any infantryman's nightmare

Underrated ship! Glad to see some more light on it.

I have the Fed Gun Ship. It is called Bengal. Because it has all the Dhakar! All Multi-Canons with an SLF.

it's ugly like most ships in ED...it looks like a platypus

With the arrival of exobiology... I just cant bring myself to use the larger exploration ships anymore. The lack of internals compared to my krait is depressing but the maddening sensation of having to park 15 minutes away from that -last- plant scan....😂

So they just made a pointless ship like always *coughs* ASP scout DBS and now this cool

I just want to take off the spoiler and it would be one of my favorite ships.

What paint job is that?

fucking love you dude!!

I, a member of the Imperial Navy, take offense at your misguided, misinformed and obviously jealous remark about the finest ship in the galaxy, The Magnificent Imperial Cutter, sir. One day Duval gonna Cut you down. :) o7 cmdr

Thanks to a creative pilot, the Orca is known for it's class V hardpoint. Space rugby is an acquired taste, but it can be a satisfying break from regular combat.

Wow great quality vid. Very informative and easy to watch.

Good video

I love my Gunship, run mine with 4 rails (either short or long range with super pen) and 6 torps with reverb. Nothing is funnier then getting pulled by a cocky big ship with Prismatics and hitting them with the 1 2 of reverb the generator then hit the power plant till it dies. Even with combat fit I’m getting 22ly with a scoop (running shieldless).

the type 7 is a medium ship?

I just wish the python had more character. It does look very generic compared to the other ships. I wish they had more ships geared more towards asteroid mining. I think miners should be big, ugly, and blocky. The python doesnt look bad just not as great as some of the other ships.

Made useless by P II. Corvette has a useless large hardpoint. I used it to safely transport 400 cargo but I found the T10 is better with 9 turrets. No doubt the T8 will mean many players selling their corvettes. It does do well as a passenger transporter. Not worth the grind.

Just got my python last night. Now im rich and covered in space b*tches! Thanks Falcon DeLacy!

It has the capacitor and power plant to use pre-engineered guardian plasma chargers which are the best weapons for PVE believe it or not. It was also very good at killing orthrus until the Python Mk II came along. One gunship farmed 5 billion for me on titan orthrus on first three titans. I now farm orthus using P II at alerts. P II has replaced a lot of ships. T8 will replace many more

i kinda want to see a medium sized older sibling for the vulture with two huge hardpoints and nothing else. call it the Harpy the angrier older sibling of the vulture.

I will wait for your review on krait phantom too.

VIP van.

Its a big improvement on the looks of the Python Mk 1 thats for sure

Really hard to find anything wrong with that little boat.

Yeah... I completely forgot I had owned one of these at one point. Actually looks like a bullfrog from the front.

I want my DBX in my Anaconda's fighter bay bcz why not

Thhhhhaaaaanks mate

CMDR Bob where are you at?

It's more of an fdl mk2 than a python mk2

The ship makes no sense. How does a ship that is physically larger than a python mk1 have a smaller power plant, smaller power distributor, smaller fuel tank, and not even a third of the optional internal space? is the ship hollow? or does the extra 2 utility slots and single extra hardpoint really take up half of the ship?

I think the mk1 looks much better

You could argue it’s also good for trading, as it has the largest cargo capacity of any ‘small’ classed ship.

comment for notice! :)

The federal corvette is simply my favourite combat ship, I'm aware about its struggle in PVP but I'm convinced that there's a way to overcome those downsides and make this ship a scary player FDL bug swatter. I mean my commander callsign is not Kirk007mb if I don't use every knowledge I have and every modification that the game has to offer to do so.

ive ended up using this ship for alot of my thargoid combat, its good for the titan runs and pretty good at killing the interceptors too
