    So as a Krait pilot, I've seen enough of the Chieftain, Challenger, and Crusader in conflict zones to develop a deal of respect for them. They're the few ships that I look to see if they're is any other targets. Why?
    They're a pain to kill. Their firepower doesn't bother me, I don't get hit often, but the problem is... neither do they. At least compared to the amount of hits they can take from me. It's enough for me to stop and go "is there maybe an Asp or Python nearby?".

    • @Mirvra
      @Mirvra 4 года назад +37

      As another Krait pilot I agree... The only thing that makes fighting this thing bearable is the fact that the drives are fairly easy to knock out... leaving the Chieftain drifting around helplessly while I can finally hit the damn thing without having to feel like I'm trying to compete in figure skating.

      Even with an over engineered T10, a Chieftan is a pain in the ass to fight. I've had fights where I've won with only 30% of my hull left and a couple hardpoints to boot. Albiet, the fact that the shields are paper mache is true, but that can be said for any ship smaller than a T10 with a smaller shield generator and no shield cells.

      I was going to get more into the FAS vs Chieftain, but the deadline was looming, and the video card was starting to get taxed. At the end, I felt that if anybody wanted to fly the FAS over the Chieftain, they were going to do it regardless. Better to have a short and sweet ending.

    I was over the moon when I bought my Chieftain. I used it as multipurpose ship with 84 tons available for shipping plus combat here and there.
    It's quite an amazing ship. I had been going around with a Viper MK4 for a while and I wanted something to punch above my weight. When I saw where the Chief was available, I gave it a shot. I went for the price and stayed for everything else! I have an Anaconda now but nothing gave me the thrill I'd get on the Chieftain

  • @austinm5630
    @austinm5630 2 года назад

    The Chieftain actually makes an outstanding shield tank if you build it carefully. My own build is:
    - 2 Large Thermal Vent Gimballed Beams
    - 3 Small Scramble Spectrum Gimballed Pulses
    - 1 Medium Advanced Missile Rack (for Odyssey FPS stuff)
    - 6A Clean Drag Drives
    - 6C Bi-Weave shield, reinforced with thermal resistance
    - 4 Utility Shield Boosters, 2 Heavy Duty Super Cap, 2 Thermal Resist
    - 3 Guardian Shield Reinforcements in the military compartments (these are the key to the build!)
    - Pre-engineered size 5 FSD (gives another 3ly on this ship vs. a regular 5A Long Range FSD)
    - A 5A fuel scoop, size 4 Guardian FSD booster, 2B AFMU, size 2 SRV bay, and DSS.
    This ship has 71 sustained DPS (not counting the dumbfire rockets) that drops heat as it fires, with over 2,100mj of effective shielding after resistances, and a 42ly jump range. It's my go-to combat explorer and unlike other ships I've tried - namely the Kraits - it doesn't have to sacrifice combat capability to also be a solid explorer. And yes, it is absolutely a shield tank, which it turns out is kinda genius. With over 1200mj of absolute shielding it is more than capable of surviving some extremely rough landings with the shield still online, and it has the agility and raw thruster power to make those landings extremely rare occurrences, even on 10g worlds. This, in turn, means you have no need for a cargo bay or limpet controller. You're never going to take hull damage anyway. And sure, you don't have any crazy-high burst damage, but you don't need it. The Chieftain's outstanding agility means you can indeed park it on the ass of anything you're shooting at and stay there. That means you don't have to build it for short burst damage windows of other similar ships. Instead, you build for sustained DPS and just keep firing until the target dies.
    As much as I desperately prefer the look of the Kraits or the multirole capabilities of the Python, the truth is the Chieftain is simply a better combat ship than either. That it turns out to be an above-average explorer is just icing on an already delicious cake.

    Honestly, you shouldn't feel bad. While it's a viable AX vessel and easy to replace, Faulcon DeLacey accidentally created the meta for Anti-Thargoid combat with the Krait Mk II. So get in your Chieftain, get out there and make ships go splodey! Don't forget: Two MRPs will help tons with the canopy.

    • @boiledelephant
      @boiledelephant 4 года назад +1

      I've found that I need two MRPs on the Krait MkII as well. These lighter mid-class ships just seem to be very susceptible to module damage.
      I don't have a Python or Conda so I don't know if this problem scales up or disappears after the Krait. It never happend to me on smaller ships like the Vulture and Cobra, presumably because the modules are so hard to hit on a small profile.
      If I knew for sure it'd get rid of this module problem, I'd switch to the Conda in a second. But my experiences fighting Condas doesn't suggest it would, because I'm always able to snipe their modules really easily. Does module vulnerability just scale up with ship size?

When I finally upgraded from a Viper MkIV to a medium, I immediately went to the Krait MkII. 3 large, 2 small, fighter bay, and enough space to do everything well, with some practice. The alliance ships looked..... flimsy. From there, I bought a Mamba, because the FDL looked wrong. Do I regret my choices, no. Do I regret not trying it before several large, and then some more smalls? Yes. The chieftain and its sisters have become my main arsenal, from a pack hound boat, to a multicannon monster, and the chief, hailing all with its railgun call. I love these ships, probably more than the Krait, it's coffee maker and all. And that, I don't regret.

    I was 800 hours into Elite Dangerous when they released the Chieftain, immediately everything I was working on stopped, in order to buy and max out one of these. It's my favorite medium ship, the one I had been waiting for since I started playing in 2016.

      Seriously. I'm a transwoman, and honestly I don't even own this game, I couldn't afford to probably buy it even if I wanted to. I was just happy to take my mind off of how hard my day to day is, people are not nice to me, like pretty fucking often. I liked listening to this guys videos because it had nothing to do with my life it was just something to unwind and daydream about, like wow drifting in space in all these cool ships, maybe not having to feel so trapped. Then bam transphobia, because of course, of course I'm just a punchline, and anyone else that reads this go ahead and laugh, at least i was brave enough to be myself, at least i try to make the world a kinder place, now I have just one less place to feel like I can rest. I work with homeless youth, I watch those kids go through hell, then come home to an apartment i cant afford and have to move out of at some point... this was a place where I thought I got to belong.

      Yeah, that line came out of nowhere. This video was the same kind of beautifully made look at the ship, not as polished as more recent ones maybe but that's to be expected with time and practice. That's what I expected to get with this video, any jokes or play on words in other videos were like "hail to the chief" at the end of this video. This hurt, and how out of place it felt only made it hurt more.

    the chieftain is something is a new player would dream of. I know because i am. I started playing two months ago. from what i've seen, im doing better than most this far. I station myself on the rim around alioth, hoping to get one of these. It's hard for me to dig past 1 million, my most expensive ship being a dolphin, but i know i can scrape by. This thing is either one of two things: amazingly under priced, or everything else is more than overated. It's elegance, hardpoints, and hull leave it to be a amazing attacker. If only i could get to high enough a level to have it. When i do, i'm going to party, and everybody is going to see. Before of course, i rip them in half. All hail the chieftain, the mighty bastard.

    I LOVED this ship as a new E:D player. Outside of its looks, I picked it as my primary ship until I had the credits to graduate to my beloved Anaconda because it kept me safe in combat while giving me enough jump range to be somewhat useful as a mid range explorer.
    Then I decided to "graduate" myself to the Crusader. And then I almost didn't even bother with moving on to the Big Three. I'll yell you what...there's nothing scarier (or sexier) than a Chieftain coming in for the kill unless it's that same ship coming for the kill with a fighter being birthed from its launch bay!

    That a cargo ship manufacturer created one combat ship during the war is not that suprising. The Thargoid threat is still out there, so this ship does still have its original purpose. It would probably also make a decent bounty hunter or police vessle.

    I will say:
    This ship takes HUGE advantages out of keeping your throttle in the blue zone.
    boost-turning and jamming those vertical thrusters will help with the drifting.
    This thing laughs at inertia. Boost. FA-off. 180 turn. Boost. full speed the other direction nearly instantly.
    Frag Cannons.
    While the FAS is better for PvP and "advanced" PvE thanks to it's better armor, vertical. thrusters, harder-hitting weapons and insanely better module protection. I have used the chieftain for all kinds of bounty hunting and I love how well I can keep up big and even other medium ship's asses.
