Fabulous video... and always remember the story of Lady Kahina Tijani Loren... Salomé
@Mattis3306 not in my gift I'm afraid!
@Mattis3306 This comment sent me down a rabbit hole and then some. Wow. The Rift is dark and full of terrors. I am off to see these lights for myself.
Aggravating when you learn that her assassin, her betrayer, CMDR Harry Potter, is a known cheat - and exploited the game to carry out the killing.
Really wish her story continued
@@FreemanicParacusia ?
*That feel when the automatic docking computer scratches your beautiful galvanized paintjob*
same with my beluga, so irritating
Ain't no scratches or queues for chads who uninstall that shit
If you can afford a clipper, paint repair is just pocket change. Anyways, worn paint is a badge of honor.
Gutamaya doesn’t *use* paint.
@@SNC-88 there is if you a chad and still suck at docking.
Personally im too scared to dock by myself.
Being able to watch these as soon as they release is making me come round to the whole self isolating thing.
Suppose we are lucky then in the UK. 07
School uk just shut for a few weeks see you guys out in space but make sure to keep a 1km gap from me at the starport.
@@dabyyeye9825 Alright will do have a great holiday. 07
Can’t self isolate more than if you were in space...
I never really saw the appeal of the Clipper since I thought that if I had to fly a large Gutamaya ship I might as well make it the Cutter (funny thing is Nautically speaking a Clipper is generally larger than a Cutter) since when I got the Clipper I was still grinding imperial ranks and needed to land at outposts, now that I have the Cutter I think I'll circle back and give the clipper a go.
Salome's speech there at the end made the video for me.
You hit all the marks, my friend. The last line of the video was supposed to cut back to me with "Did you know a Clipper is larger than a Cutter? Who names these ships?" as a comedic beat. But I felt like it undercut the tone of her speech too much. Glad you liked it! 😄
@@ThePilot_ ah I also now noticed the name of the clipper, Seven Veils, great name for Salome's ship
@@marcofava I named mine Duke's Folly as thats the rank you needed :-)
@@diceman199 I painted my Cutter Black and called her Empress of the Void as I use her mostly for exploration, because if i'm gonna be gone for weeks at a time i'll do it in style with a Harem and a Butler to keep me company
@@marcofava That was the name of her ship, the one she was flying during the event.
I went to Sag. A in my clipper and have zero regrets.
Man, this is the content Elite deserves.
@The Pilot
Thanks for the shout out about my Octogoid kill in an Imperial Clipper. The reason I used the iClipper was purely for the challenge, other ships would have done the task a lot better. As you point out, the awful convergence makes the ship less than optimal for the usage of fixed aim weapons, it therefore truly sucks vs Thargoid Interceptors except in the most capable hands =)
Of course! Just added a link to your video in the description. :-) Which I should have done in the first place.
Nice flying, btw.
God that lore segment gave me genuine chills
Thank you for finally getting around to my favorite ship in the game. While I feel you may have understated what makes her so amazing, I'm also willing to take personal bias into account and say you were spot on in your assessment.
Probably my two favorite moments in this game are yeeting this bird through the mail slot at 600 m/s, and cresting a hill in an SRV and seeing her sitting there, waiting for me. Looking picturesque as fug from every possible angle.
Mnn. And dancing through a combat zone, that's usually good for a giggle or two as well.
I knew I wasn't going to make everyone happy. So I did something to make myself happy. And more than a bit hit the cutting room floor. I would have loved to go into how she's a beast at trading or piracy, but ultimately the flow of the video lead me here.
I've been looking forward to this video for a long time now and I gotta say, it was worth the wait.
It's rare for me to say that a piece of art "speaks to me" and when I do, I don't mean it in a literal sense, but nearly everything you say about the Clipper is something I've thought about it for a long time. It almost feels like this was written /for me/ specifically, and while I know that's not the case, it still feels good to know someone else feels the same way I do about this ship.
Your line about all the kinds of trouble this ship can get into was spot on for me: Before I went exploring with it, my Clipper was named Legal Issues because of all the mischief we got up to.
I didn't know that lore about Salome and the audio and video editing towards the end there was spooky af and I loved it.
Thank you for this wonderful video about my most favorite ship.
You're very welcome.
I love the Clipper, too. I use my Clipper for deep core mining, and due to the speed and agility of it, it does this job pretty good! But I sometimes feel it was destined for greater things... The lack of hardpoints make me use other ships for combat. But I love the way it sounds and looks and handles. Flying the Clipper is a very emotional experience.
The Clipper wraps a Class 6 First Class passenger cabin with a Class 7 shield, and carries it through the galaxy with the speed and agility of a starfighter... it's like one of those luxury cars where it's understood that the people buying it will never sit in the front seat or drive it themselves. That's why the cockpit's up front.
I do come back to your channel to listen to your elite dangerous videos. Even after all these years, the quality is wonderful, and inspires me to do better as a creator.😊
This entire video gives me the chills
Electro-Swing is definitely the theme genre of this ship. A+
I was waiting for the Clipper! Excellently done, love this ship despite its flaws. Very cool to bring Salome into the mix as well. Keep this up good sir, you have us enthralled :)
I LOVE this ship. I took my Explorer Clipper "Windrush" out to Sag A* and back, and didn't regret a single second of it. And that boost noise!
I have a special place in my heart for the Clipper, I think its an absolutely beautiful ship, so when I finally got one, I named her Angel-wings. I also have a Cutter btw, which I named Saint Celestine
Sounds like you belong in the Aisling's Angels squadron...
Saint Celestine? I sense a big hole in your wallet with GW written all over it...
@@FlintlockEngineering Truth be told, I give all of my ships names like that. My Cobra-3 is Bluesky, my Python is Nyanna, Imperial Eagle named Starhawk, Fed Corvette I named The Donnager and my current ride of choice, my Krait-2 which I named Brightstar
@@truckerallikatuk Well, I did name my ship after her, even if I did decline to paint my Cutter Gold
Well that one was different. Kind of chilling at the end
Read Drew Wagar's novels. It'll make more sense then.
Okay, the ending gave me goosebumps. Does somebody have a link to that or an explenation?
It ties in to the Raxxla mystery.
Salomé assassination.
Not Raxxla. The Club hid the thargoid invasion from the galaxy and were willing to let the bubble burn if it meant saving what they considered the best and brightest. Check out Drew Wagar's channel for details. Salomé brought us the truth.
@@PoliceTelephoneBox Soooo...all the exploration data we collected and dozends of Pilots we murdered that were flagged as 'criminals' were people who 'knew too much' or places that could be wiped from the map?
@@Timmy6108 Pretty insidious, right?
I don't always fly oversized and overlooked ships, but when I do, it's always this one
Gutamaya is the apple of elite's universe
Overpriced, overdesigned with some glaring flaws while excelling in other fields, absolutely gorgeous looking, and built by slave labor, as well as having a religious cult of followers... Yep, definitely the Apple of starship design
As a fairly new player, this ship is one of my 'goals' to own. So many things I could do with it. Thanks for the video!
It cannot be said enough how good your videos are. I look forward to these every week.
I'd love to see the Imperial Eagle, just recently got mine and am loving it thus far. o7
Soon-ish. We only got a few left. :-)
Nice
THANK YOU! I'd been looking forward to this one most of all, and THANK YOU for bringing Salome into this as well- it wouldn't be a Clipper video without her.
Now if only we could get some slight tweaks to my favorite ship to overcome the power creep...
My favorite thing about the clipper gotta be how they ALWAYS have huge bounties when you find them in Haz Res, half my bounty fortune gotta be from these things flying around as massive targets.
Late to the party, but I finally got myself a clipper. and I friggen LOVE This ship.
Finally! The Clipper is my absolute favorite ship to fly. I spent some time outfitting one for DW2. It was the ship that made me actually want to put in the work to unlock the rest of the engineers and the Guardian FSD Booster.
Keep up the great work. Top quality content!
Excellent choice Commander! I took one on DW2 as well -- in Irridescent Scorch because why the hell not. That class 7 fuel scoop, oh my.
A question if I may. I’m still torn between using the class 7 slot for a 7a fuel scoop or a 7e fuel tank. I eventually want to get the guardian fsd boost and I’m currently working on the fsd engineering. I’ve found that the 7e fuel tank does wonders as I rarely need to scoop for fuel, despite having a 6c fuel scoop. But eventually, that class 6 slot must go to the guardian fsd boost as there’s no class 5 slot. Would it be better to go with 7a fuel scoop + two extra 4e fuel tanks, or a 7e fuel tank plus extra 4e tank, and a 4a fuel scoop?
Edit : And yes, this is for the Clipper. Absolute favourite ship. I have 2, one for mission running since I can make millions of delivery and supply missions with the companies I’ve gained good standing with, and my 2nd one for exploration. Nothing beats flying a Clipper. Flies like a dream. Not to mention the cockpit view, the ideal cockpit for sightseeing.
love my clipper, it got rid of my conda but... clipper with rank 7 shields and the right loadout i never had trouble taking anything out.. i personally like the bridge/cockpit layout for what it is...just wish we could choose what side we wanted to sit on....
anyway, the clipper was worth every credit i put into it, it was work to get but, omg... so fun...
and.... i never really had trouble with shields...thermal bi-weaves and a mix of augmented and high cap boosters and.. i had no real problem ramming and dogfighting bigger or smaller ships... packhounds are fun...
Really impressed by the thought you put into the production and cinematography of this whole series. Well done.
Imperial Clipper is such a beautiful masterwork! It's the only ship I fly other than my Cutter. A ship for true Imperial. Keep up the good work!
My favourite ship! As soon as I bought the game and browsed the available ships, I saw the Clipper and instantly fell in love. I need to learn more about the lore of this game, but deary me, this ship is simply the best. So beautiful. So agile for its size...
And oh my god, Electroswing is the absolute perfect genre for it.
ya know, I've always thought it was kind of ugly but man when you pointed out the bump on the top of the fuselage, I can' stop seeing how absolutley awesome it would look if that really was the cockpit.
And slap a huge hardpoint where the cockpit is now. I'd have a whole fleet of them if it was like that.
I have never even remotely been tempted to fly a Gutamaya ship. Until now!
Try out a couple, you will not be disappointed, fair warning you'll spend roughly 50% of your time in external camera view taking screenshots.
That's why I use my Cutter for exploration.
The scenery should be great but the subject too in order to make it justice
Beautiful representation of the Clipper. The audio in the background, awesomeness. I want to say more on it but I'll stick with talking on the ship.
I knew I wasn't the only one who had discovered how great this ship is with FAOff
This review is like an F9 motorcycle review and its wonderful
Could not agree more...!!!
This is top tier ED content. Loving your work. Thanks.
i like the stilts. as if it's too good to touch the ground.
I have an issue with the Clipper. It's the exact opposite of the Courier. The Clipper is too big. For a ship that's bigger than a python and a step up from the small, efficient courier, the Clipper is a grotesque waste of space and potential, and anything it does, it barely does passably. It's too chonk to explore, its hardpoints are hot garbage, its internals are a steaming mess, and its shield systems look like they were stripped off a Federation doorstop. Then there's the right-hand pilot seat and it's nearly unflyable.
I spent a long time in my clipper before I got my cutter. Now it's permanently my core mining ship. She's seen a lot of action in her days tho. All those new cmdrs who's bank accounts got a nice starter package have her to thank =)
I'm working toward my Clipper now. I just got a Courier today.
I don’t care what people say, I love mine. Size of a 737 and handles like a falcon.
737...or 747?
@@johnpooky84 737, the 747 is quite the massive beast and operates at far higher tonnage than the clipper is at max.
Ok. I've seen every single "the pilot reviews" and this one sir, is the absolute best. You put some work into this, and it shows. Can't wait till they add new ships, so you can do more like this. Great job.
The Imperial Ships are of Elegant Design imo, Love your videos by the way, Ive been watching them since you started.
Thank you!
Sometimes I wonder how many Gutamaya ships are named "Serenity".
My Clipper is named Athena :p
Mine is named "Dragon Lady", after the Blue Oyster Cult song (and because of how she looks with the ship kit parts I have on her).
another great video another great Tuesday morning
The galnet article at the end of the senators speech was an awesome touch
ok.. that end got me in the feels. Rest in Peace Salome.. We have failed you.
Amazing music and cinematography! There is something about your videos that got me hooked on Imperial ships. I know there are better options, but the pure Class and Prestige makes me want to be a dedicated Imperial Pilot for my Waifu Princess! The iCourier is my favorite Imperial ship so far, because they say the clipper is kind of an out of place ship, but I hear the cutter is really nice once you got the money to set it up properly! Cutter shall be my end game!
I’m kind of interested in what you are going to say about the federal corvette. Although I am loving the imperial stuff, but I’m not into uh... slaves and stuff
Depends on the slave. Depends on the stuff.
But yeah, I'll get there. :-)
The Pilot awesome, I do wanna get a cutter eventually. I’m a sucker for massive cargo space
The Pilot ....is this a sex joke I’m still unsure
I think it's in the guide somewhere, but it explains that the slaves aren't really "slaves", they're indentured workers who have voluntarily taken on this status in order to pay off debts or something.
Which I think is interesting and also kind of a relief re: actual slavery, but you'd think they could make it more clear that this is the case...
@@QueenAshe How dare you!.....of course it is. 😆
No matter how unfortunate it's size or it's hard points. I can't quit my Clippers. I have one for black ops work. It hunts and kills and nothing gets away. I have one for AX combat. It's speed means I can separate from all Interceptors and take Cyclops and Basi solo, but it really shines as a wing ship. Get in, get the heart glowing and get out while the others snipe it. The last one I have is an explorer. I can get 53LY in it and it's a joy to fly in SC and on the surface of planets. It'll never be my go to for long combat but I love that ship more than anything else in the game. I just LOVE it.
An imperial ship review with jazz in the opening? This video was made for me
That actually makes a very good pirate ship.
I disagree with the cockpit tangent but this video actually made me buy this ship and I fell in love. Hard to believe she's been one of my main ships for almost a year after so long of ignoring her.
I know this is a five month old comment but I agree. The cockpit makes me think of a swan. Which fits the elegant motif
@@dingosiccunt2297 I do wish I could overhaul the interior though but yeah, nice to see I'm not completely alone on this
I completely agree with the cockpit position situation, it was so obvious, this ship was made to have a commanding position. The idea of a high cockpit Clipper will haunt my dreams forever.
Also, I love your work :D
I love my Clipper, she made me a billion credits in the double-painite fields. It was tedious work, but done in style.
I love the little legs its like it's so we'll designed it just needs to float in place
*washes hands before clicking like button*
The Clipper is a well-rounded ship and with how I have it setup, my go-to explorer.
The Clipper's landing gear always reminded me of stilettos. Which kind of fits to the whole elegant look thing.
Listening to this with knowing Update 14 is going to shake things up...prophetic.
Yesss one of my favorite ships!
Nicely Done! Excellent tie in with the deep lore of the game... This was long overdue.. Keep up the great work!!!!
Just the video I was about to ask for
powerful stuff! the end of this video reminded me how much I miss those galnet stories (even if they did'nt affect gameplay), I hope we get some sort of storyline again.
Man... You just got yourself a sub with this video... Simply amazing! Good camera work and exceptional voiceover! o7
As much as I love my Cutter, I love the design of the Clipper more. Great video Pilot
Good lord that size 7 fuel scoop! i need this in my life.
Oh hell yeah. This is my favorite ship to fly.
It’s not great at anything, but I always wish I was flying my Clipper while I’m lugging cargo around in my Cutter, or collecting materials in a DBX.
And.... that BOOST SOUND!
Bro your vibe is amazing😂😂 just how you treat these ships😂 its fun to watch and i think these ships deserve the attention👍
Love this. Great job. Keep them coming
After Playing ED for about 4 weeks i got my Clipper. I was and still am new and I don´t realy have ever completly outfittet a Ship, done almost no combat and spend most time either making shipments or mining. I sold my ASP Explorer for my Clipper and it was a good decission. I will get the Explorer one day back, it is a good ship but if you even haven´t choosen a home base it´s hard to own multible ships. And as a newby I must say: THIS SHIP IS AWESOME! I never had so much joy flying a ship. But sadly it´s a large ship and i didn´t knew you can not land on outposts with that massiv things... So i farmed a vew hours more and got myselfe a Python... Well i also enjoy the Python but after the Clipper it feels like flying a Brick... One day I will get my Clipper back and if there will ever be a raceevent I will start in that beautifull pice of Art.
Best way to chose a home-base is to lock for a High-Tech-Station in conjunction with Agriculture and Industry in close-by systems. this way you can establish a nice triangular trade. High-Tech goods to industry and agriculture, and food to them. by ranking up the minor factions this should become profitable quickly. My Core-Systems were LHS 531/Iman Caber/ Mumbaluma. Before i moved on to work for the Empire. Got my Clipper 2 days ago. It's so astheticaly pleasing!!! Next ship i recommend getting a Krait MKII. Its the best work-horse. I still have 2 in my docks across the Bubble. Fly save, Cmdr!
@@procrasti-nation9517 wow what a coincidence, my home Is LHS 531, it gave me a Lot of high rewarding missions somehow so I stayed there. Its a good advice, I have a trading clipper doing that loop for a while and got me a Lot of credits. Now i wanna Fit my Courier Speedster
@@joaquinnievas9079 There is also a Raw-Material-Trader at Leavit-Orbital/Mubaluma, which I allways come back to. Fly safe, CMDR o7
@@procrasti-nation9517 that's also good advice, i've been having trouble getting all the materials to engineer it.
That was epic
Thanks for all your hard work
Love what you do
You have the best visuals and sound tracks, loving your work!
Built my clipper to be an AX support ship.
2 large AX multcannons and 2 medium guess cannons with decontamination and repair limpets.
Named her the Blue Earth after the ship from the anime, teknoman that was used by space knights to fight off an alien invasion of earth.
Outstanding ship! And fun a hell to fly! It's so damn sexy and sounds so good when it boosts
You did forget to mention the engine sounds of the clipper, it sounds as good as it looks. Also, if you can afford the ship kit, you can make it look even better (kinda looks like a dragon)
This ship is the reason I first started doing my imperial rank. I only went for cutter a month after getting this
For me this was the one imperial ship I didn't do the rank grind for. Its damn pretty and all, just not for me.. Give me >700m/s with combat load on the little imperial or the behemoth that accelerates faster than anything that heavy should and with surprising agility (if you master FA off). The real killer is the awful weapons, I love my railguns and Plasmas, clipper just isn't the ship for a fixed weapon enthusiast. A solid ship though, and the imperial grind is so much more rewarding than those dastardly, underhanded federal types with their love of slightly pointed box styling.
@@foldionepapyrus3441 at least Feds gives ships that are actually practical. The Clipper isn't that kind of ship. It looks nice but is hollow inside. Feds looks horrendous (except the Vette) but are full of potential.
@@matthieuzglurg6015 Its a superb blockade runner, with CG's drawing PVPers a clipper is one of the best choices to deliver cargo having enough speed to outrun harm. I don't actually dislike the fed ships at all - they are just rather similar.. Have one Have them all in the dropship family (yes they are different in use just not much in looks)..
Dude I absolutely love your content, your creativity & the style of narration you really try your best to deliver the visuals & sound, amazing work! Keep it up & don't let anyone tell u any different, your an artist at what u do & that's why u excell 😉👍
The glory of the empire is pulsing through the metals of the Clipper.
Love my Clipper .. named her the “Kahina Loren” after my dear late senator ..... she went before her time .....
I've just purchased this Clipper but,.. what's it for? I'm confused? Lacks any meaningful uses for my personal choice but, it's Beautiful. Time to watch this Ammmazzzing review video from the fabulous Pilot. Only watched this video about 10 times already... Yeah, these reviews are really that good. The reason why I'm a paying viewer.
I love these videos.
Because of them, I'm currently on the quest to engineer my Krait Phanthom's FSD and leave the bubble behind.
One of my favorite ships ever, and I never got rid of it. It has too much sentimental value to me lmao
Thrilled to hear you agree about the incorrect placement of the cockpit/bridge on this ship.
Salome’s words starting to ring true with the feds and Alliance
What was it?
This IS a Magnificent review,.. short film about the Clipper.
God damnit i had genuine chills at the end! Good work!
Clipper, the ship version of never skip leg day
I hit like button on and off about 23x. Great video, great NPR message at the end. This is no joke folks, you are living in "now" history.
It handles like a god dammed dream.
Another great video!
It sorta reminds me of a more artsy version of the Defiant from DS9...
00:10 Bro was about to crash
The narration! Superb!!
This was my first dream ship. It's fast, agile, ample cargo space and not too expensive. I use either gimballed guns, turrets or missiles on the wing tips. Turrets are weak but its position on the wings is great, almost omni-directional. Later i got disappointed with the weak shields because i lost a Clipper. I thought Class A shields would be strong enough. Weak shields plus a huge profile makes it an easy target. After i bought the Python, the Clipper is mostly parked because i'm a cargo pilot first and foremost. Also finding a place to dock is problematic with the Clipper. I do fly it once in a while when i'm not focussed on making credits. The holes in the wings provide 2 functions; primarily to reduce weight in order to increase agility and its secondary function is to reduce damage from weapon fire; shots pass through when aligned by sheer dumb luck.
5:40 I feel personally attacked
Cool video over all. I totally dug the Electro Swing in the intro!
It has a smiley face at the top of the ship
Iv kinda given up on the game but for some reason I love to watch your take on the ships , keep up the good work cant wait for the next one . Ow and dont forget to wash your hands and be safe people
Final music is "V1rgo" by "Ambre Jaune"
I have not been moved or intrigued by a game backstory this much since Marathon Durandal.
