Imperial fighter dies in one hit
Condor dies in one hit
Taipan survives awhile
(When Piloted by an NPC)
My ai pilot is elite and puts. In. Work. With the imperial fighter. Just sayin
John Carista I’m gunna put my npc’s in some vipers tbh
The Imperial and Condor: **Dies Instantly**
Guardian Fighters: Are you Challengeing me!?
"You will take it and you will like it."
"There we go - consensual."
I got a feeling it wasn't.
"Nope,... nope, ... nope; ... he's imperial... he's independant ... he's dead"
it's rare that i laugh this hard, thank you xD
It got me too!
Remember, when you hire an NPC to pilot the ship launched fighter, THEY GET THEIR CUT NO MATTER WHAT SHIP YOU ARE IN. Even if you mine 314 tons of Void Opals in an Anaconda with no fighter ship hangar. Especially if you hire three @12% each...
Sam Morrow good for them. Take my 7 billion as you bask in my cutter while i mine
They don't seem to cost as much if you stick with them from novice to elite.
@@steampunknord cool skyrim reference 😎. I still play. Good point on training. Also remember you split xp with them too as they level up. So it takes twice along to get to elite. So if your rich, don't need to earn money or rank then by all means get a crew member.
I do all my mining with a fighter NPC on lookout, then find a reason to fire them before I sell my loot. Their cut is %0.
150 grand for a couple of hours protection from annoying pirates is plenty. They don't need 10 million per run.
Train them up... hire them at harmless the take a 2% cut... trained up to elite they cost 10. If you train expert up to elite they will cost you 16 for the same skills.
In short... hire the shittest candidate, then train them up to be the best
The imperial fighter kinda looks like a Naboo Fighter from Star Wars. The inside looks like it was made by the Orokin In Warframe. Lol!!!!
I wonder if they use magic flesh to?
Haha
It's about as survivable as a TIE fighter
This was awesome to work on. Hopefully you all like it too folks.
Kaiju Platypus I thought it was great, I couldn't stop laughing at a lot of your...phrases
Great video, thankyou.
Lepidoptera means "scaled wings" not "four wings" not that I would expect an alliance captain to know the difference...
Thank you lad
TFW all these years later devs *STILL* haven't been able to give us a custom-colored HUD.
they probably figure we already have it. my grief with them is more like how does the imperial one pitch so good with so shitly placed thrusters...i mean, sure, roll should be awesome, and yaw also. but the pitch...? how? they stopped physics-ing these ships?
I've had custom colored huds for years now...not hard to modify an ini file.
tbh I reckon if they make it possible to do it in-game they'll make it a paid feature and make it impossible to do it.
Ah so you want to buy customization for your ship to change their hud colour? Oops, you're at your weekly ARX limit!
@@HiDigity It's a lot harder than it needs to be, lol. It should be a button on a screen.
I suppose I'm the only one who thinks the condor looks the best. I love the shape and simple color, but I especially love how the heat vents outline the plating on the ship with a warm red/orange glow.
Grigori
It's sexy as hell. Then it's taipan with its foldy coolness. Then the tampon with wings, I mean the imperial fighter.
Grigori same bro
I still can't pick a favorite between the mini viper the naboo fighter and the butterfly
The Condor looks wonderful, but I just can't stand flying the damn thing. Plus, it really suffers from being "piggy in the middle". In that, It's not as maneuverable as the Imp fighter, but it doesn't have the extra tankiness offered by the taipan. It's just the worst of both worlds.
Though the multicannon Condor is nice
Midnight Black Condor with Orange Thrusters and Blue Beam Lasers. Sexiest SLF in the game.
That said, I think a lot of people are missing the point with the Condor. The nice thing about it is that you can do 2/0/4 (or 4/0/2 if you're using the Multicannon variant) with your pips and still outrun everything except an Eagle. The boost speed doesn't matter because it's so fast you have no reason to boost. You can essentially set your pips and then ignore them forever.
The only reason not to use the Condor is if you're using the AX variant of the Taipan, basically. For every other job, the Condor is best.
In any case, the extra maneuverability of the Imperial fighter is wholly irrelevant because its only marginally better than the Condor, and the Condor can already out-turn every normal ship in the game, including an Eagle. It's like saying Unobtainium is harder than Vibranium. Maybe it is, but either one is indestructible so if Vibranium is available, it'll do fine. In addition, the only time the looks seem relevant - at least to me - is when you're launching it from an Imperial Cutter. What good does a sexy Imperial design do when your mothership is a Keelback? At least with the Condor or Taipan, any ship you might launch from, be it a Krait or Corvette or a Conda, at least vaguely matches the ship. There's beauty in consistency. (And if you're flying a Cutter, why are you even here? You know good and damn well you ONLY consider looks when buying your ship. Your mind was made up before you arrived.)
Next up: Biowaste "review"
Or weapon reviews. That way he can delay reviews of a big three for months!
Its shit.
Theres your review.
I guess Im the only one who sided with Feds.
Well... I cant wait for the Corvette and Cutter reviews. Imma enjoy those
Don't worry, I'm a die-hard Condor user myself.
All hail the stealth fighter.
CaptainBadger all hail the federatin
STOP THE ENPIRE OCTOPUS
Stanislas Godard Nah. Stop the Federal kraken
I'm a commander of the Federation as well. And I like the design of the Condor as well.
you know what i find amazing? is that you managed to accurately express sarcasm visually, through the erratic spinning of the ship launched fighters. its like an intrpretive dance thats saying "fFUCK IT ALL THE TIME EVERYWHERE" and i love it for that.
keep it up! obsidianant is so classy, that sometimes i need this to clense my palate
Are you trying to delay the big three reviews for as long a humanly possible? XD
.....yes
TheYamiks Don't diss my cutter when you review it.
He is an imperial, he will be too busy basking to diss it.
Will we get T10 review before the big 3?
We will probably get a panther clipper review before the big three.
"homicidal tonka truck" ok fuck it, that's the taipan for me
Now that the anti xeno taipan came out it is hands down the most armored and deadly fighter that can chew threw Hull and take down shield really fast.
The 'bloopers'at the end of this are absolute You Tube gold. Particularly the repeated failed fighter docking attempts, fucking hilarious!
It's great when Yamiks gets a funny bunch of guys together and they really entertain. Still one of my favourite videos and one of the reasons I am a patreon. Love you Yamiks!!!
At least you mentioned that the condor is be best for popping hulls.... so in my opinion, Flying a Fighter, imperial gu-93 all the way, pvp fighter, alliance taipan. I'll still stick with my condor with multi's all the way.
I've never played this game but the condor is definitely the coolest looking one imo
I think the Imperial Fighter is the ugliest of the three in the looks department
Not the TIE pan?
Can't even tell what your comment means... the sentence structure is pretty bad XD
The imperial fighter is made of tinfoil and the Fed Condor turns like a Viper 4 #Taipan4life
As a viper 4 user I take offense to this
As a taipan user, I give the offense back. :3
“Homicidal Tonka truck!” You cracked me! I PLAYED with those a lot when I was little!
"Floating trashbag with crack needles sticking out of it." Best review line ever.
Hey, Condor is the only fighter that can enter a thargoid base head first :D
Still prefer Taipan tho
Emadec no it can't no cargo space...
CMDR PLKarmann ... Unless someone else holds the door for you ;)
CMDR PLKarmann found me a party pooper, you've spent too long in deep space CMDR.
Sadly that’s all the condor is good for
I didn't exactly have to do much, but thanks for letting me help out :)
oh fuck right.. i knew i forgot smth! credited in description
Ahh no worries! :D
Great vid Yamiks. Highly polished with close attention to detail. This is how you do a video!.
I think the taipan is the only fighter that would “work” based on where the rcs thrusters are at
(I rarely use my fighters for what they're supposed to be used for.) My favorite fighter is the Taipan because my crew almost exclusively flies a fighter, and I don't want to have to worry about them getting damaged so I can continue the fight, and they make an excellent support role in my fighting style. (Yes I use AX multi cannons because they have the higher DPS)
bro ur name is amazing
@@givemeyourknees7178 You too.
Hilarious and informative. Also, "Just let it happen" lolololol
I prefer Condor over any other two. It's still nimble af. and as I mostly put Shield shredding weapons on my man ship, Fixed MC work wonders.
I love my mc condor too :3
at least federation actually PAYS their workers
Oh, I assure you, Imperial workers are getting payed too. With food and bed.
Agentnewbie no
Agentnewbie that's a lie
Agentnewbie Stop the evil empire octopus
Stanislas Godard Arissa L. Duval for Emporer oh wait
Using the anaconda as a turret gunship with fighters is really fun!
14:25
Classic Bird Strike, didn't need that engine anyway...
The condor just looks like the chopped off wing of a TIE interceptor.
Condor. Brought to you by the makers of WipeOUT Fury.
It is so hard to find a friend , who will allow me to deploy from their ship I'll just make a sidewinder with A rated thrusters and D level everything else with ungimballed lasers and no space exploration scanner . Put into a wing and you have a real CQC feeling that you could never get in CQC sadly.
antwan1357 if you're on Xbox you can join me anytime. Just got the corvette and have taipans
Sorry only on PC hey if you can find INARA.cz you can join a unofficial squadron called 160 S.O.A.R. we need miner faction grinders.
What station was that filmed at? With the capital ship dock?
the taipan is actually made by delacy not lakon though
exactly
The imperial fighter is SO MUCH fun to fly!
Of course, all three have their best qualities. There is in fact one that they all share: They're so cute.
Surely the best shape for a space based fighter is a sphere?
What station did you record near that mega ship looks really cool
Thanks to you guys I got my krait and never had a fighter yet so I picked gimballed laser imp fighter
I like my Taipan just because when you inevitably fuck up, you can stay alive for more than 2 seconds in someone's crosshairs. XD
The Taipan looks kind og like a butterfly...
He said that in a way, though he translated it wrong. Lepidoptera is a group of insects including moths and butterflies.
Condor with fixed is the best.
I would pay millions just to be able to fly these mini ships as my main ship. Of course they would need a good jump range as well.
Condor looks like the A-wing from Star Wars
ok I'm guessing this is suppose to be more of a comedy site than an informational one
Apparently the Taipan is now made by Delacy and not Lakon. This is according to both the wiki and in game description.
Came back to watch this 6 years later and it's still funny
what are you recording your audio settings at? your voice clips alot of the time. make sure your recording at 24 bit, and try some light vocal compression
The taipan actually pushing the other ship makes me wonder, what if you could use your fighter as an emergency tug or fuel source if your ship runs out of fuel?
Do you have any idea how big the distances are??? To push someone? It would take years...
Yeeaaaaah, I'm going to stick with my Condors if it all means the same to you. I love the deliberate, deadly appearance of the ship lent to it by its geometric aesthetic, and the cockpit looks like it would be at home in a stealth fighter.
Plus, I adore the Multicannon variant of the Condor as it will easily tear through hull plating with truly terrifying speed so long as you can keep the guns on target (not that it's that big a problem when you're busy terrorizing a Cobra or Diamondback with it, even a Python will find itself wondering why its structural integrity is dropping at such a rate with just a single MC Condor hosing it with bullets).
Additionally, the gimballed Beam Laser variant of the Condor can literally delete Cobras and Sidewinders in one pass (same for Diamondbacks if you manage to keep your fire on them the whole time) if you throw all power to weapons and pop a heat sink while giving the trigger some love.
Finally, I love the balance of durability and maneuverability the Condor has going for it. It can survive some hits and give an Imperial fighter (also known as the "Zero in space" for its maneuverability and tendency to fall apart under sustained weapons fire) a run for its money before hitting the afterburners and leaving it in the dust. looks only get you so far and the Impie fighter tries far too hard to win beauty pagents for my liking. The Taipan's okay in my books though, I like how durable it is and it'd be a go-to bomber for me if I wanted them.
Sorry, but I'm a die-hard Condor fan; it has the looks, capabilities, and weapons I look for in fighters while being fast as hell and a joy to fly all the same.
the struggle at the end there has happened to me a number of times. i've actually given up manual docking and just switch to my ship and let the npc do it.
The kind of content that would make Mr. Regular (from RegularCars) blush and that guy has gone on record saying some pretty crazy shit! XD
How much ammo does the Condor get with Multicannons? and does it get restocked by it's parent ship? or do you need to pay for a restock at a station?
If you shoot at a ship with your fighter, does the target ship go for the fighter, or for the main ship?
I love the outtakes of this episode, funniest one ever!!!
Imperial fighter... guess they forgot to put in lateral thrusters. Who needs yaw translation anyway?
The Taipan is made by Faulcon Delacy.
Anyone remember that arcade racing game, where everyone pilots speed boats down canals and rivers? That's what condor looks like to me.
Ah the unicorn onesie burn at DJ there xD gg Yamiks.
"Fuck off Mr. Unicorn Onesie" OMG that was brilliant!
Just got a Elite Dangerous ad lol
i wonder who's AD that was...
What were the sparks coming out of the engine when it turns? 5:32
Always love these reviews :D
That would be hilarious if there was a .05% chance of your Imperial ship immediately blowing up from sabotage by the slaves after buying it.
You forgot to mention the true cost of each fighter, the lifetime of grinding required to afford anything in our favourite second job or "game" as Elite is sometimes called
omg get the fuck out
Believe me I've tried
The guy who showcased Taipan put on the best impression of a radical leftist I’ve ever seen in voice-acting. XD
YOU ARE A LEGEND GOOD SIR!!!...
Wait, what...
Who is this impostor and what did he do with our good old Emperor-loving Yamiks??
He's so devoted to the review that he would even attempt to avoid his love for the Empire! Another reason why Federal dogs suck!
Himanshu Goel
Us Feds can obliterate anything, we simply allow you to live.
Haha, lets see you guys even keep up with us or even take our shields down.
Simple: Feds are holding him at gunpoint to say whatever they demand.
The fixed-multicannon Condor is actually probably the most useful NPC copilot SLF for PvE, alongside the beam laser Taipan. One has hull-eaters and chaff, the other has heatsink launchers and beam lasers. I should note that I'm saying this for two major reasons: NPCs have near-perfect aim, and NPCs have near-perfect aim. No, that's not one reason, it's two, because it means that:
1. Your SLF will do just fine with fixed weapons even if you and everyone you know can't aim for shit.
2. Enemy NPCs _will_ destroy your SLFs if you don't give them something else to shoot at. It's not a question of if, it's a question of _when._
The GU-97 only has about...mmm...somewhere between one-half and two-thirds of the durability of its counterparts. The F63 actually can hold up under more abuse than the Taipan if we're talking getting hit by something fairly powerful, or being peppered continuously without being given a chance to reboot shields. The Taipan has a stronger _hull,_ while the Condor has stronger _shields,_ both important. In practice, I'd say the Taipan still has the edge in durability because usually, an SLF takes a bit of a beating, loses shields and some hull, and flies off to let its fast-recharging shields boot back up. So the stronger hull on the Taipan means it can survive an additional pummeling or two before going down, although, on the flip side, the Taipan mentioned does _not_ have chaff launchers, so it's really unclear which one is ultimately more survivable. In either case, the GU-97 really isn't going to offer much of anything over those two and it'll come with a significant disadvantage. Sure, it's by far the most maneuverable of the three, but it's slower than both and any SLF is going to be able to thoroughly outperform larger non-SLF ships anyway, so those advantages are just...additional, unnecessary icing on the cake which come at the expense of survivability. Not worth it.
As for NPC piloted SLFs in PvP, there may be more use for the GU-97, since it's a smaller target and is more agile than its counterparts so it can be harder for a human player to hit, but usually, PvPers deal with SLFs by sending their own SLF after it, which creates the same situation as seen in the above. They may also use fragmentation cannons, which...are going to shred your SLF no matter which model it is, but once again, the GU-97's lack of durability makes it an even worse choice than the other two for that situation. Although gimbaled weapons are frowned upon in PvP meta for most of the commonly used ships, and turrets are usually a horrendous choice due to obscenely low comparative DPS, these do at least have the advantage of being easier to kill an SLF with than fixed weapons, although certain SLFs have chaff launchers. Unfortunately for the GU-97, the only models which have these also have horrendous DPS ranging from one-half to _one-fourth_ what the beam Taipan does, which prevents them from being a good choice...again. In the event that none of the aforementioned counters to the SLF are available, the PvPer will generally just try to evade the SLF and concentrate on the mothership, which essentially amounts to open season for any SLF. In this case, you might as well pick the SLF with the most raw DPS, since any one of them can stay on-target and PvPers usually run equal resists so damage type isn't as important. Since the GU-97 has the aforementioned disadvantages in survivability and firepower, again, I can't really think of a good situation to use them in. Specific models of the other two fighters check more boxes.
Remember, Anaconda's and Taipans are too magnets, they either stick together or repel against each other 15:03
i suddenly have a reason to not be an imperial?
I have a keelback and can’t seem to find a hanger slot anywhere
When will we be able to customize fighters? Or have a recon model that can scoop, and fly farther away?
Recon with a mining laser?
I don't mind the condor, just wish that the engines are a wee bit stronger by about 25% at the least.
Am I the only one that thought the one they kept saying was 'ugly' was actually the best looking ship? And that the one they praised as being so 'beautiful' was the ugliest?
I use the Taipan. In VR, the thing is probably the best to fly. ALSO, crotch lookout view.
the imperial one looks like a 1 kg dumbbell
That was good fun, thx.
Where was the imperial fighter recorded? That’s really cool having the big ship there
I had SUCH high hopes for the ship launched fighter. I was hoping that the ship launched fighter would be a REAL ship, like an Eagle, or Sidewinder, that I could use as a shuttle, allowing for scenarios like docking at stations that didn't have a large landing pad. Many times I take jobs or collect bounties in systems without a large landing pad, and then I have to dock 2 systems over, buy a sidewinder, jump over, collect, jump back and take a hit on selling the sidey. This has somewhat changed with the universal contracts broker, but %25 hit... Not bad if you're collecting 10,000 credits, but if you're collecting 10,000,000 then that's substantial. This means I have a myriad of sidewinders peppered all over the place in storage so I can manage this.
Nice Video. Very informative!!!
lol Yamiks is just teasing us at this point
That ending was great :D
The funny thing is, The Taipan is not actually manufactured by Lakon, it's a DeLacy ship.
dude this is the best
LOVE the co-op presentation, and the banter.... Top Notch!
also i know... late af
In a Corvette, it is much easier to pick on larger targets when you have a fighter to distract the other ship which allows you to wall right in and lay waste to their shields
In short, a fighter screen is very important and worth the size 5 slot
I find the Imperial Fighter quite ugly and settle on a Taipain everyday
I’m also a diehard fed and I hate my cutter down to its modules and I only use one because its more stylish than a T9
today we review the mini viper the naboo fighter and the butterfly
This was hilarious. Especially the out takes. Made my bad day good. Tyvm fellas
What is that giant ship?!? I want!
Isn’t Taipan made by Delacy?
condor can fit INSIDE thargoid ruins :P
So funny!. The bloopers omg i died!.
i have no idea what everyone is talking about for 90% of this.
Why the fuck do I keep getting these cringelords recommended to me.
@@CorporateG0th I was thinking the same thing. Is this a fanfic review?
It’s a lot of lore
The imp fighter dies if you sneeze at it
Or if you sneeze IN it. :P
Aegix Drakan that too
The commentary had me in tears. Too damn funny.
Eyyyy I'm early. Time for a joke...
Powerplay
another joke Cobra mk4
yes
ItzFizz and what about passenger missions...
CMDR PLKarmann noo passenger missions are good
CMDR PLKarmann Easy cash, no problems with that.
I put a fighter bay on my Krait... dunno which fighters to choose though
Condor has multi-cannons. Thing is a beast
good video, honest to god effort and a quality final product is such a rarity these days
And here we are now.heh
A taipan was my first and last purchase as a miner. The selling point was hitting a vulture pirate head on, destroying the fighter and my agressor in one ram.
I want the CYLON fighter! that thing looks sick... BOOP! lmao!
