Absolutely. As for a guy late to Elite. This is almost heartbreaking. I've been going thru your content in order, buying ships you've recommended.. Thus I am just now seeing this one. SALUTE and Thank You I noticed some Star Citizen content. Possibly going that way as well. Hope to catch you in space Commander
I will say that while E:D was what initially drew us to your channel, I'm fairly sure damn near anyone would agree that we didn't stay because of Elite, we stayed because you are one absurdly good writer, editor and in general creator, and so I think a lot of people will be sticking with you regardless of what you move on to.
"Pretending to be Clarkson in space" Dude. When it comes to witty and occasionally eccentric commentary on the various shiny boomtoys we have available to us, you don't have to worry about comparison with the big guns. You *are* the big gun. Safe travels commander o7
People already have a connection with you the creator. It's not just your voice that the gods gifted you with.. It's your personality and your editing style but more importantly your passion. That is why you are a success in the Elite niche. You can do that anywhere. Hopefully you will find that passion again with Elite then bless us once again with your glorious videos. Like TheYamiks said make content on the same channel.
Smart move. Once you get tired or burnt out, it is time to move on. If you continue to make videos on other topics, I will make sure to watch anything you do. You are a wonderful writer and have such great thoughts.
Best of luck with your future endeavors and projects! You're making the right choice for *you* and that's what matters most here. You content should always be an extension of your own passions. Being true to yourself will always attract the like minded, and I have no doubt you'll continue to do so.
You will definitely be missed. Take care of yourself my friend. And yes, you are one hell of a ship salesman. The biggest part of my fleet is because of you.
You single handedly got me interested in elite dangerous in the first place, and your videos are truly magical. You may claim to be just mimicking Clarkson, but you truly made it your own. On behalf of me and every other fan of your work, from the bottom of my heart, thankyou. P.s. We hope to see you soon.
Whenever I feel the need to be pumped up about Elite, I go back and watch your ship commercials. Thanks for everything, you've got great talent. Best of luck to all your future endeavors!
we will be with you even if you are gone. You are one of the greatest persons ever to exist....and you have to be remembered....i hope to see you again commander....may elite be a part of you forever. The community loves you and your work....fly safe....forever.....(the video made me cry btw.)
I literally *just* found your channel. Do your thing man, you’ve dedicated a LOT of time to something, and that’s incredible. I highly respect that. Godspeed, Pilot!
Nothing but appreciation for the time and effort that you've put into this. Thanks for everything you taught us along the way. Enjoy your "what's next."
Started playing ED a month ago. Your videos has been a source of knowledge and information, of inspiration and admiration, and of giggles. I'm sorry I only found you at the end of all things, but I'm glad I did. Thank you.
...I was lucky enough to stumble upon you when I was undecided on what ship to buy ...then I ended up watching most, if not all of your ship videos ...you are awesome 07
I stuck around listening to you way after I put the game to one side myself, because you're a damn good writer, speaker as well as editor. You have way too much potential to keep swimming in this small pond. Best of luck to you, Pilot, docking restraints released, please stick to the green lights upon exit.
I’m blessed at this time to be totally new to elite Dangerous so I don’t have years of boredom and fatigue behind me yet. It’s all new and fascinating to me at this time. Of all the content for Dangerous, yours to me is the best. When I search RUclips with a question, it’s yours I click on first. When I saw the type 10 for the first time, I was blown away… and then I found your video for the 10, and I knew I had to have one. The way you described it was exactly how it made me feel… that anything was possible. I am sorry to catch you at the end of this leg in your journey. Just know that as long as you leave this content up, you will continue to accompany new commanders as they begin their own journey, to infinity, and beyond.
I just started and saved up 15 million so far. It’s been slow but my god is there so much to unpack from this game and what not. It’s fun but slow when flying alone
Your work in Elite Dangerous is a Keystone in the community Content Creation and watching it should be the right of passage of any CMDR out there. Beyond that it takes an incredibly self aware individual to know where ones limits are; and even wiser to respect them. I hope you find a place that inspires you as much as your work in Elite has Inspired all of us. I still go back to your Corvette video from time to time; much the same that people don't watch the grand tour for the cars as much as they are there for the hosts. 07
Best on your travels CMDR. o7. I discovered you upon my first account flying a sidewinder, and you've inspired me to become the best pilot I can, saved me thousands of hours in frustration, and motivated me to see the stars in ways I never thought I could. Thank you for your hopefully timeless work. You've done what many couldn't fathom of accomplishing.
I almost never play Elite, but would always take a few minutes to check out your videos. Always enjoyed them. Wishing you the best as you move on to the next thing. Take care.
You were one of the reasons I came back to this game after buying it and never really "looking" at it. Thanks for everything, may you have all the luck in the world in the next projects and I will be here to follow them. Because this game is what brought me. But it was the rest that made me stay. Once again, thank you.
A half-minded interest in Elite Dangerous as a game and setting led me here. And after marathoning every one of those ship videos (a couple times over now), I'm left bittersweet and fulfilled. Nobody is lying or exaggerating about the kind of writer you are. Run with that. It's such a wonderful privilege to have gotten to enjoy your work.
I'm glad I discovered this channel yet torn because of his departure I respect it and understand it but I feel lucky that I get to discover and watch all of his amazing videos for the first time but sad that someday I might run out of the amazing content here.
Just started playing elite and I've found your videos both helpful and entertaining. Thanks so much. Don't forget that the work you've made will still be here, and plenty of people will still find it and love it like the rest of us! 07
Everything ends. Everything beautiful, everything ugly, everything special, always ends. If Elite Dangerous has taught me anything at all, it is that we are but cosmic dust, in the light for only a moment. It is what we do during our moment, how we use our gravity in the galactic instant we draw breath, that makes all the difference. You have created something truly special, at least to me. I've always been a fan of space flight sims since the days of Terminus, a game made back when life seemed simpler and for whatever reason, I hadnt even discovered Elite Dangerous until I somehow stumbled onto your channel, watched the ship guides and I was hooked. You truly have "The Gab" which is more than just really satisfying voiceover work. There's such a truthful balance in your creations, that no matter what game or subject you choose next, I can't wait to see what you come up with. So rather than my usual and parting with a meme or a pithy comment, I'll tell you this. Thank you. Thank you for every bit of your soul that you poured into this game to create something this special.
I'll always be thankful i picked up Elite and found your channel only 3 months ago. You inspired me to take to the stars, explore and not take it all to seriously but at the same time appreciate the small stuff. Legend. Thank you.
I have never agreed more with somebody about something. Bravo to you and congratulations on an amazing run here in Elite. This community is incredible and you've added to that exponentially. I'm glad you're proud of your content because it's some of the most amazing I've ever seen.
I wish you well in whatever comes next for you. Your ship reviews were what got me into ED and then what made me stay. Simply put; You sir, have a gift.
Didn't find you until just a few months back, but your videos lit a new passion for the game for my brother and I when we weren't sure what to do. So thank you for that. o7
Your video on the Corvette was more than just that, it was a documentary. Thank you for your feature on ships. They are the love notes that keep ED players (both old and new) in this universe. Every time I watch one of your videos I want to run out and buy the ship. Would have bought a corvette if I had the rank (or the funds).... settled on the Type-10 right after watching your tribute to that ship. :)
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! the pilot, every time i got frustrated or fed up with this game. you all ways got me back and because of you i found a small but amazing grope where we just do stupid and fun stuff. that group took was was a grind and turned it into 12 of us laughing because one guy kept dying trying to over charge his FSD and it was the best fun i had and i just sat there and watched this guy go again and again. so THANK YOU! for everything you have done for this channel, also keeping my spark with elite going to this day.
Thanks Pilot for all your hard work. You may have not convinced your friend to play E.D. but you have indeed convince me. Your guidance helped me greatly to find my way in the E.D. universe. Best of luck in the future, and again.....Thank you.
Good god were your review vids, awesome, with a dash of top gear review they were absolutely hilarious. I don't know how many times I've watched them purely out of the enjoyment of watching them and the genuinely usefulness of them. They were hilarious, relatable, and beautiful. Thank you commander. 07
I don't think I ever liked playing elite, but I was and still am in love with the idea of playing it. If only it could ever be as good as we know it can be.
Whatever you do, I'm happy with it. You have a quality and style that can not be matched no matter the game or subject matter. You have helped me along my short Elite Journey and I have enjoyed and binged much of your content.
Your work will forever cement you as an ED Legend. And I'm proud to say that I was one of the few hundred thousand that awaited your next ED ship vid with baited breath. The ability to turn what most view as a mere utensil and make it absolute poetry and art, well that's a gift to mankind that can now never be taken away. I'll be honest, I've re-watched more of your old vids than I have viewed the new ones, but honestly, when you set the bar so high... Thank you so much for all of your time, energy, and commitment for making some of the VERY few youtube vids I immediately open to full screen. As art should be enjoyed. Thank you again. You'll always be an ED Legend, no matter what you do in the future. We wish you the best.
I just started playing two weeks ago because of your awesome videos, you have inspired a lot of CMDRs to take part in this galaxy. Thank you for your service CMDR, hope the stars still guide you on your new project. I will certainly follow you there. Good luck o7
Enjoy Elite while it's still new and magical. Take your time. Celebrate saving up for a new module or simple upgrade. That's where the game's experience is at its best!
@@BRUXXUS I certainly am, I play it in vr so even the most mind-numbing grind is special when I turn my head up and see all the stars I still have to visit. It sparks up the magic in this sad quarantine times.
A bit late to the party here, as I kind of ran into a bit of an Elite Dangerous dry spell myself just about the time of this video's release. I guess all good things come to an end. And a graceful one it was. You had a good run, commander. One of the absolute best ones. Thanks for your eloquent, poetic and humorous content. You've been an inspiration. o7, commander!
As a new player of elite and one that is just now tonight realizing its potential I say thank you to you. I am here purely because one of my friends told me to get this game and I'm staying here because of people like you. Those not afraid to do the work, take the time, be the mentor that we all needed because lord knows this game has a lot new players need to learn. So I want to tell you thank you all that read this thank you for making elite elite.
I found your channel shortly after I got back into Elite after a 2 year break. Your commentary in all of your videos were truly inspiring. You hyped me up to keep playing, to make new goals for myself so I won't get bored, and become a better commander myself. Thank you for your work. And because of your inspiration on all of us, we will carry the torch to inspire someone else. As always, God Speed to you and fly Dangerously, Pilot. Your mark has truly been left amongst the stars. o7
Sad to see you go, I remember watching your videos on the corvette and anaconda, wishing I could own them, and still go back to visit them now so I can get those goosebumps again. Good luck and Godspeed o7
Whenever I have doubts about ANY ship, I just put on my headphones and view your videos. Its soothing, relaxing, informative. No wonder you are the "best salesman" in this galaxy. Your work will be missed. Do keep us posted on your next adventure. o7 Commander.
hay man massive thanks for everything you have done for me and the community you have shaped the way i play and think will still keep an eye for you legend
You were the best car salesman I ever listened to. I played this game because of you. And I'll be watching all of your ship reviews at least 100 times more. Each. Fly safe, Pilot.
You were the best of us. I watched your whole series, looked forward to each new video, and then watched it again. Thank you for everything for giving me something to look forward to. Love, and Light, and Warmth to you. I wish you rest and happiness Pilot. You deserve it.
As someone who generally doesn't enjoy Elite content on RUclips, I was surprised to find I HUGELY enjoyed your vids. I stumbled across them while looking for Fed Gunship reviews. Yamiks I found a little too cut and dry (to put it mildly) but yours was excellent, and although you weren't exactly in love with it, your line about loading up with multicannons totally spoke to me! Lots of engineering later and the Fed Gunship Sheik Yerbouti is my go-to ship for combat, so a hearty thankyou for that! Sad to see you go, but wish you all the best for your next project! O7
Your ship content re-invigorated my love of Elite; the production values and you wonderful tones have delighted. May you find success in the next venture and perhaps we will see you in game again in the future.
Everything ends and it's always sad. But then...everything begins again and it's always happy. You climbed a mountain, Pilot; you're free to choose the next one.
o7 man. Love your work. I will miss it . Thanks for all your effort and time from someone who really got enjoyment from it . Looking forward to see your next project
When and if you ever feel that itch to craft and share a little content, I’ll be right here with a back scratcher. Thanks for all you’ve done, and best of luck on the new course you have plotted.
Hey Pilot. I feel like you've come to the same conclusion that every commander has since Horizons. Those first dozen or so hours in Elite feel like falling in love. But once you get your bearings, and take a peek behind the curtain, all of the magic goes away. I think a lot of Elite vets started watching this channel because you had so much optimism for the game and it's future. Through your videos, we were able to relive the thrill and wonder of being a new commander. We were able to immerse ourselves in a vast and wondrous galaxy, flying our spaceships into the inky black with a few lasers and no shortage of determination. You gave us all hope that one day, Elite could be the game we all knew it could be. It's no surprise to me that your Elite content is going away. At some point, you have to accept that the potential will never be fulfilled. At some point, you're let down so much that you fall out of love. And at that point, the only option is to walk away. Thank you Pilot, for all of this. o7
While I'm sure a degree of the departure is due to the potential not being met, the effect of that is magnified for a creator. I burned out on Save the World way after creators with about the same time of game play did, because I didn't get hammered by fans to talk about the annoyances that, in honesty were minor. Also, it gets hard to make fresh content on a game, and even harder to make it on an in-development game.
I'm a 32 old dude who loves space and always wanted a life like that. Knew elite since 2017 but never had the will/courage/décision to actually play it till this year. For me it was... It's not childish to realize your childish dreams! It's part of me anyway... It's saddening because once I started playing and watching videos to help me grasp all this lore, such a quality content creator like you, walks away... Wishing you all the best tho... I loved everything you did... From the writing, the cinematic shots, the editing... Everything.
Sir, you are the best "Clarkson In Space." Keep the format with whatever you choose to devote your time to next. You will be missed. Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm
Totally agree with Yamiks. Even if you just do food blog videos - you should do it as The Pilot. Thanks for all the great content dude. You made Elite more fun for me and doubtless many, many more folks. Kudos to you for bowing out classily if you just aren't feeling it anymore.
These stars will be lesser for the loss, but they will be forever greater for the mark you have left behind. We all salute you and wish you luck on whatever roads you walk next and who knows, maybe we will see you again on those roads.
Dang man, I remember when you hit 200 subs. What a journey it has been. Thank you for the most gorgeous elite videos I have ever seen. I don’t know what it was about Elite but it lost its charm about a year ago to me and some of my friends too. Moving on was inevitable. Thank you again for the fantastic content and music. Best of luck out there. o7o7o7

The Pilot: was I good?
ED community: No, you were the best.
Totally agreed, glad this had such a good run. o7
No you were: elite.
Absolutely. As for a guy late to Elite. This is almost heartbreaking. I've been going thru your content in order, buying ships you've recommended.. Thus I am just now seeing this one.
SALUTE and Thank You
I noticed some Star Citizen content. Possibly going that way as well.
Hope to catch you in space Commander
I'm still saying you need to make content on same channel =}
I second this. Keep the Pilot going, with all the goodwill accumulated. Don’t let it become a dusty museum.
100% agree.
Yamiiks your content is some very funny stuff, I watch yours for giggles and pilots for inspiration before setting off into the black o7
Oh god all we have left is the space Latvian for content.
*sees exegious has returned*
Well all is not lost.
Yeup, and if he doesn't, send the murderous tonka trucks
I've gone through less painful breakups than this IRL. Good luck, god speed!
This reminds me so much of expiration date from team fortress
I have done nothing but talk about ED for ten thousand hours
I will say that while E:D was what initially drew us to your channel, I'm fairly sure damn near anyone would agree that we didn't stay because of Elite, we stayed because you are one absurdly good writer, editor and in general creator, and so I think a lot of people will be sticking with you regardless of what you move on to.
Yeah I don't think anyone could convince me to buy a Keelback as well as him.
And I love it.
Don't forget the silky smooth voice
Keep us posted on where our favorite ship salesman is headed to next!
O7 CMDR, you have left your mark on the stars
"Pretending to be Clarkson in space"
Dude. When it comes to witty and occasionally eccentric commentary on the various shiny boomtoys we have available to us, you don't have to worry about comparison with the big guns. You *are* the big gun. Safe travels commander o7
People already have a connection with you the creator. It's not just your voice that the gods gifted you with.. It's your personality and your editing style but more importantly your passion.
That is why you are a success in the Elite niche. You can do that anywhere. Hopefully you will find that passion again with Elite then bless us once again with your glorious videos.
Like TheYamiks said make content on the same channel.
Smart move. Once you get tired or burnt out, it is time to move on.
If you continue to make videos on other topics, I will make sure to watch anything you do. You are a wonderful writer and have such great thoughts.
Nobody faults you for wanting to take a break from elite, too much of anything gets old quick.
i second this.
I have just updated my Elite installation. I’ve been too long away from it. My star wings are itching.
I always thought you should branch out to documentaries, on pretty much anything.
Best of luck with your future endeavors and projects! You're making the right choice for *you* and that's what matters most here. You content should always be an extension of your own passions. Being true to yourself will always attract the like minded, and I have no doubt you'll continue to do so.
You will definitely be missed. Take care of yourself my friend. And yes, you are one hell of a ship salesman. The biggest part of my fleet is because of you.
You single handedly got me interested in elite dangerous in the first place, and your videos are truly magical. You may claim to be just mimicking Clarkson, but you truly made it your own. On behalf of me and every other fan of your work, from the bottom of my heart, thankyou.
P.s. We hope to see you soon.
I'm late to the party, but what a wonderfully eloquent exit. o7 Commander.
I’m one voice in a crowd of many, but thank you for all of these videos over the years. I’ll certainly miss you
Whenever I feel the need to be pumped up about Elite, I go back and watch your ship commercials. Thanks for everything, you've got great talent. Best of luck to all your future endeavors!
Listening to you describe ships... it was poetry. Thanks for all you gave us.
we will be with you even if you are gone. You are one of the greatest persons ever to exist....and you have to be remembered....i hope to see you again commander....may elite be a part of you forever. The community loves you and your work....fly safe....forever.....(the video made me cry btw.)
me to
You've had a helluva run, & made excellent content for all. Thanks for all the work you've put in. Bravo, Commander. o7
I literally *just* found your channel. Do your thing man, you’ve dedicated a LOT of time to something, and that’s incredible. I highly respect that. Godspeed, Pilot!
Nothing but appreciation for the time and effort that you've put into this. Thanks for everything you taught us along the way. Enjoy your "what's next."
Started playing ED a month ago. Your videos has been a source of knowledge and information, of inspiration and admiration, and of giggles. I'm sorry I only found you at the end of all things, but I'm glad I did. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you for the memoriesand helping me out pick it up and help me pick my first ship. Thank you.
Because of your videos my love for this galaxy was rekindled. Thank you. O7
Thank you, sir. I have loved your videos. Looking forward to the next thing you take on.
Love your work, Pilot. I'll be sad to see you go. Onward to new horizons. o7
Please keep this channel up for posterity.
Thank you for your service Cmdr..I have both enjoyed and valued your ship reviews immensely. Good luck
...I was lucky enough to stumble upon you when I was undecided on what ship to buy ...then I ended up watching most, if not all of your ship videos ...you are awesome 07
God speed commander
Your videos have inspired and left impressions on countless of minds, and I'll be forever grateful that I was one of them~
I stuck around listening to you way after I put the game to one side myself, because you're a damn good writer, speaker as well as editor.
You have way too much potential to keep swimming in this small pond. Best of luck to you, Pilot, docking restraints released, please stick to the green lights upon exit.
We enjoyed every second of everything you presented to us, godspeed commander. Fly safe! 07

Sad to see you go, one of the best Elite Dangerous channels ever. Good luck with whatever you pursue.
Thank you for everything you’ve done. Your videos helped me understood so many things about ED when I started playing 3 months ago.
o7 Commander.
You are awesome, and THANK YOU for all the amazing content!
O7 Space Clarkson. Your ship reviews will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for adding so much to this community.
Best on your travels CMDR. o7. I discovered you upon my first account flying a sidewinder, and you've inspired me to become the best pilot I can, saved me thousands of hours in frustration, and motivated me to see the stars in ways I never thought I could. Thank you for your hopefully timeless work. You've done what many couldn't fathom of accomplishing.

O7 commander. Your videos have been the foundation of helping many of us learn more about what we lack knowledge of from this game.
A half-minded interest in Elite Dangerous as a game and setting led me here. And after marathoning every one of those ship videos (a couple times over now), I'm left bittersweet and fulfilled.
Nobody is lying or exaggerating about the kind of writer you are. Run with that. It's such a wonderful privilege to have gotten to enjoy your work.
I was new to elite a year ago, and your videos have been extremely helpful and well crafted. Thanks for your work.
I'm glad I discovered this channel yet torn because of his departure I respect it and understand it but I feel lucky that I get to discover and watch all of his amazing videos for the first time but sad that someday I might run out of the amazing content here.

Next step, voiceover work for movies! Godspeed!
A guest spot playing D&D on Critical Role?! Sounds good to me!
I'll always be thankful i picked up Elite and found your channel only 3 months ago. You inspired me to take to the stars, explore and not take it all to seriously but at the same time appreciate the small stuff. Legend. Thank you.

Rest In Peace kid, you were good. Maybe even the best.
Outright one of my favourite channels and I thank you for giving us such amazing content. I wish you the very best of luck. 07
Thank you for doing this. I appreciate all your insight into Elite. You're the best!
I wont lie, its been one hell of a ride! I've learned a lot and honestly worth every moment. Thanks for the content and I'll see you on the new ride!
Please don’t tell me this is the last elite dangerous “but...” we’ll hear
Didn't find you until just a few months back, but your videos lit a new passion for the game for my brother and I when we weren't sure what to do. So thank you for that. o7

Thank you for the content Pilot, much respect.
O7 Pilot and thank you for all the fantastic work youve done.
Thanks for the content! Your ship reviews are some of my favorite.
I don't think I ever liked playing elite, but I was and still am in love with the idea of playing it. If only it could ever be as good as we know it can be.
Whatever you do, I'm happy with it. You have a quality and style that can not be matched no matter the game or subject matter. You have helped me along my short Elite Journey and I have enjoyed and binged much of your content.
Your work will forever cement you as an ED Legend. And I'm proud to say that I was one of the few hundred thousand that awaited your next ED ship vid with baited breath. The ability to turn what most view as a mere utensil and make it absolute poetry and art, well that's a gift to mankind that can now never be taken away.
I'll be honest, I've re-watched more of your old vids than I have viewed the new ones, but honestly, when you set the bar so high...
Thank you so much for all of your time, energy, and commitment for making some of the VERY few youtube vids I immediately open to full screen. As art should be enjoyed.
Thank you again. You'll always be an ED Legend, no matter what you do in the future. We wish you the best.
I just started playing two weeks ago because of your awesome videos, you have inspired a lot of CMDRs to take part in this galaxy. Thank you for your service CMDR, hope the stars still guide you on your new project. I will certainly follow you there. Good luck o7
Enjoy Elite while it's still new and magical. Take your time. Celebrate saving up for a new module or simple upgrade.
That's where the game's experience is at its best!
@@BRUXXUS I certainly am, I play it in vr so even the most mind-numbing grind is special when I turn my head up and see all the stars I still have to visit. It sparks up the magic in this sad quarantine times.
A bit late to the party here, as I kind of ran into a bit of an Elite Dangerous dry spell myself just about the time of this video's release. I guess all good things come to an end. And a graceful one it was. You had a good run, commander. One of the absolute best ones. Thanks for your eloquent, poetic and humorous content. You've been an inspiration.
o7, commander!
As a new player of elite and one that is just now tonight realizing its potential I say thank you to you. I am here purely because one of my friends told me to get this game and I'm staying here because of people like you. Those not afraid to do the work, take the time, be the mentor that we all needed because lord knows this game has a lot new players need to learn. So I want to tell you thank you all that read this thank you for making elite elite.
I found your channel shortly after I got back into Elite after a 2 year break. Your commentary in all of your videos were truly inspiring. You hyped me up to keep playing, to make new goals for myself so I won't get bored, and become a better commander myself. Thank you for your work. And because of your inspiration on all of us, we will carry the torch to inspire someone else. As always, God Speed to you and fly Dangerously, Pilot. Your mark has truly been left amongst the stars. o7
Sad to see you go, I remember watching your videos on the corvette and anaconda, wishing I could own them, and still go back to visit them now so I can get those goosebumps again. Good luck and Godspeed o7
Whenever I have doubts about ANY ship, I just put on my headphones and view your videos. Its soothing, relaxing, informative. No wonder you are the "best salesman" in this galaxy.
Your work will be missed. Do keep us posted on your next adventure.
o7 Commander.
hay man massive thanks for everything you have done for me and the community you have shaped the way i play and think will still keep an eye for you legend
Thank you very much for your hard work. All the best!
You were the best car salesman I ever listened to. I played this game because of you. And I'll be watching all of your ship reviews at least 100 times more. Each.
Fly safe, Pilot.
o7 Commander. Your interviews, your ship reviews, both brought me back last year. Thank you for all your hard work!
Gosh, I loved your ship reviews. Thank you SO MUCH for making me smile :)
Best of luck- looking forward to seeing you do something new!
Fair winds and Godspeed, Pilot.
You were the best of us. I watched your whole series, looked forward to each new video, and then watched it again. Thank you for everything for giving me something to look forward to. Love, and Light, and Warmth to you. I wish you rest and happiness Pilot. You deserve it.
thanks for all your sacrifices, you've helped thousands of players enjoy a game
As someone who generally doesn't enjoy Elite content on RUclips, I was surprised to find I HUGELY enjoyed your vids. I stumbled across them while looking for Fed Gunship reviews. Yamiks I found a little too cut and dry (to put it mildly) but yours was excellent, and although you weren't exactly in love with it, your line about loading up with multicannons totally spoke to me! Lots of engineering later and the Fed Gunship Sheik Yerbouti is my go-to ship for combat, so a hearty thankyou for that! Sad to see you go, but wish you all the best for your next project!
O7
Your ship content re-invigorated my love of Elite; the production values and you wonderful tones have delighted. May you find success in the next venture and perhaps we will see you in game again in the future.
Everything ends and it's always sad. But then...everything begins again and it's always happy. You climbed a mountain, Pilot; you're free to choose the next one.
Wow dude. That last sentence is a fantastic sentiment that I haven't heard before.
Have loved watching your channel. Best of luck with the future
o7 man. Love your work. I will miss it . Thanks for all your effort and time from someone who really got enjoyment from it . Looking forward to see your next project
Thank you for all the work you have done for us. All the best for you. 😊
THANK YOU for EVERYTHING Pilot!
When and if you ever feel that itch to craft and share a little content, I’ll be right here with a back scratcher. Thanks for all you’ve done, and best of luck on the new course you have plotted.
Hey Pilot.
I feel like you've come to the same conclusion that every commander has since Horizons. Those first dozen or so hours in Elite feel like falling in love. But once you get your bearings, and take a peek behind the curtain, all of the magic goes away. I think a lot of Elite vets started watching this channel because you had so much optimism for the game and it's future. Through your videos, we were able to relive the thrill and wonder of being a new commander. We were able to immerse ourselves in a vast and wondrous galaxy, flying our spaceships into the inky black with a few lasers and no shortage of determination. You gave us all hope that one day, Elite could be the game we all knew it could be.
It's no surprise to me that your Elite content is going away. At some point, you have to accept that the potential will never be fulfilled. At some point, you're let down so much that you fall out of love. And at that point, the only option is to walk away.
Thank you Pilot, for all of this.
o7
Such a perfect explanation of everything.
This is exactly what I wanted to say but you said it better. Thank you Pilot! We will be anxiously awaiting what is coming next from you! o7
Damn, if I didn't think this community couldn't get any more negative, I'm surprised again.
While I'm sure a degree of the departure is due to the potential not being met, the effect of that is magnified for a creator. I burned out on Save the World way after creators with about the same time of game play did, because I didn't get hammered by fans to talk about the annoyances that, in honesty were minor. Also, it gets hard to make fresh content on a game, and even harder to make it on an in-development game.
Agreed
I love you man, you got me to play the game so much I bought a vr for it. I salute you sir and wish you the best o7
I'm a 32 old dude who loves space and always wanted a life like that. Knew elite since 2017 but never had the will/courage/décision to actually play it till this year. For me it was... It's not childish to realize your childish dreams! It's part of me anyway...
It's saddening because once I started playing and watching videos to help me grasp all this lore, such a quality content creator like you, walks away...
Wishing you all the best tho... I loved everything you did... From the writing, the cinematic shots, the editing... Everything.
Thanks for a truly excellent, professionally produced and original series and all the very best for your future endeavours.
Sir, you are the best "Clarkson In Space." Keep the format with whatever you choose to devote your time to next. You will be missed. Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm
Space madness is real. Once you feel its the right time the ED community will be waiting for The Pilot O7 commander
Totally agree with Yamiks. Even if you just do food blog videos - you should do it as The Pilot. Thanks for all the great content dude. You made Elite more fun for me and doubtless many, many more folks. Kudos to you for bowing out classily if you just aren't feeling it anymore.
These stars will be lesser for the loss, but they will be forever greater for the mark you have left behind.
We all salute you and wish you luck on whatever roads you walk next and who knows, maybe we will see you again on those roads.
Dang man, I remember when you hit 200 subs. What a journey it has been. Thank you for the most gorgeous elite videos I have ever seen. I don’t know what it was about Elite but it lost its charm about a year ago to me and some of my friends too. Moving on was inevitable. Thank you again for the fantastic content and music. Best of luck out there. o7o7o7
You helped me choose my ships from my sidewinder to now just buying the fdl and asp Scout. Thank you :)
