I told you the frickin gunship was fun as hell!
I hated mine at first .. then I flew it a few times .. now I have several. I love the thing.
@@Yeebok WHOOOO!
as a great man once said : get a large multicannon, a medium multicannon, a medium multicannon, a medium multicannon, a medium multicannon, a small multicannon and a small multicannon
I didn't choose the brrt life the brrrt life chose me
I find it a bit stupid though. Multicannons firing mon-stop for almost 10-15 secs before reloading.
Where tf did the ship stores all these multicannon rounds ehhh?
@@interruptingcow2418 they're way bigger than you imagining them to be. The DBX is bigger then the space shuttle.
@@interruptingcow2418 the small multicannons weigh 2 tons each. These ships are huge. They probably have plenty of room for ammo
@@Solnoric they would need a large room to store all that ammunition. Do you know how many times we need to shoot another ship before it blows up using multi cannons?
Ugh, I'm going to have to go back to void opal mining to afford all these ships you're selling me on.
I'm doing just that
Just unlocked Founders World. Being able to buy all the ships in the game at one place is too tempting. I need to assemble my fleet before the fleet carrier comes out!
damn i know where to find low temp diamonds and a port that buys them for a million a piece
Riiiiight
The Pilot: The gunship can't keep on its target
Me, a gunship main: *laughs in flight assist off*
Yeah, I was waiting for the shoe to drop when he began trying to turn-fight in this thing. It has one of the single best yaw values in the game and is amazingly good once you get a feel for that. In fact, all of the Federal ships are like that, the Gunship is just better than most. You need to build and fly these things in a specific way, but they are strong competitors when you do, much stronger than he makes them out to be.
(I know this is old but hopefully you're still alive lol) And that adds to the value of the ship. If you can fly in a way someone else can't you have an advantage. EDIT I saw the 3y on the other comment and thought that was you. Good to know you were alive as of 10 months ago lol. @Phoenix-214
@@wonder_platypus8337 I'm still alive. Still fly the gunship from time to time too. ;)
@@tylerworrell4446 he lives! You ever want to Bounty hunt I'm normally in LHS20 OHM City.
I actually love the look of the Gunship and its sister ships. Something about the troop carrier type of design and aesthetic of it. Makes me want to lead a squadron of 10 and land by a colony while rolling out SRVs and having infantry storm the complex. Such a tough, fierce, brute ship. I love it.
Thank you lol, I hated how he kept calling it ugly ever five seconds
Its a dumb design. Spoilers and wings for a space ship....why?
There is no air in space lmao.
@@interruptingcow2418 I'm pretty sure that canonically the federal ships are able to land and fly on atmospheric world's. So your answer is, it actually makes plenty of sense if that's the case.
The Federal Gunship... Elite's A-10.
Slow. Ugly. More firepower than should be legal. And tougher than a British steak. ;)
You nailed it. Going for guns guns guns gunship
And both are armed with multicannons
@@BenYork-UBY British steak also comes with multicannons
That's pretty damn tough! I've had British steak. It's why I prefer lamb.
I can't speak for others but my FGS is sexy and fast!
Federal Gunship = DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA..... Lots of DAKKA DAKKA
MugenDS the orcs would be very pleased for this introduction to the WAAAAAGH
I loaded mine up with imperial hammers.. Far more fun! If rather toasty.
*MOAR DAKKA!!!*
Ugly? How dare you, Its a cool looking brick!
You're a cool looking brick. ;-)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Brutish power is beautiful, and the three Federal guns have it in plenty. :)
Well, Core Dynamics at least finally learned how to make a ship that's sexy as hell by all standards when they built the Corvette
@@muninrob the Corvette is cool tho
with wings
I just realized that when we're allowed to roam around on planets with Odyssey I'm going to call in my buddy to fly in and do a gun run on the other people on planet like the space version on an A-10
Yes
Fill it with mine launchers, especially on the size 2 hardpoints, and strafe an area.
If only we had SPACE LEGS IN SHIPS, we could deploy ground marines Via Drop ships covered by Gunships gun running and Assault ships clearing the skies alongside their corvette wing boss, but no.
Tbf I'm tempted to make a ground assault gun ship, just for odyssey
@@josephkiely7315 I'm refitting my krait or anaconda for this purpose. Dumbfire missiles, srv for armored ground assaults, fighter Bay for recon and ship combat.
great review. I used to ignore how fast a ship could be. I just didnt understand why thats important. One day I got pulled out of supercruise with Mission critical goods in my Asp explorer with no weapons, I yelled "PUNCH IT CHEWIE!" and left the pirate far behind, startled I waited and he eventually started to catch up, flashing lasers at me like a complaint, I slowly started to pull away again and realized that guns are good but moving like lightning is great.
Nothing quite like dumping all pips to engines and hearing those babies roar.
I just can’t bring myself to fly an Asp though. Hate the look. No judgement!
@@RealBelisariusCawl ha! yeah I have to mix it up. I went out to beagle point and back. I have gone to sag A star several times just for fun. the only thing I never have tried is thargoids. fighting them just looks like another grind. so I have to mix up the ships. I hated the type 10 until I used it to mine with auto turrets. then suddenly I was like "oh, I do like this beast!"
The Top Gear of Elite Dangerous. Carry on, Pilot...
So when does the Stig come on in?
@@skytheannur6168 any day now...
@@skytheannur6168 dude, the stig has been in it for a long time, and you probably know who he is already. Obsidian Ant is the Stig, without question. But Pilot here could have his pick of May, Clarkson or Hammond! Lol
Edit: on second thought, Obsidian Ant should have the James May slot. Stig should be a dedicated combat pilot. Lol
@@marcuscross1 If Obsidian Ant is May (totally agree), I think, based on the way he speaks for these, he has the gravity Clarkson gives in his descriptions of things, so he'd be Clarkson. That just leaves Hammond - I nominate Yamiks. lol.
@@jaxrobinson3890 totally agree on this lineup!
I got the FGS when the feds temp lost the rank requirement to help people fight the goids. It's been my dedicated bug killer since. Fun ship and maybe not the best but still capable.
I saw the video: 'I bet he makes me want to buy that thing.'
I watched the video: 'Yep, I knew it. Time to spend some money on a ship I previously never cared about.'
And that's literally every time xD
Same here. Nothing in the world would have made me purchase a type 10 Defender. But I watched his video, and ran out to purchase it right away. I glided through out the bubble like a peaceful Galactus.
I wouldn’t call it ugly, but practical. It gives off a purpose built, no-nonsense vibe to it in regard to aesthetics.
It's been roughly a week since I discovered this channel, and I love it. You've made me love all of my ships again. I did all of my collecting a long time ago, financed from stacked hutton data runs while I drank coffee in the next room. I used to just do things in my 'vette because I love it, but these videos have inspired me to mix it up with what I fly.
Considering the music, I thought this was a review for the Federal Dropship...
I actually quite like the look of it.
It has an aggressiveness to it, rather than a beauty. Sort of like the difference between Italian and German cars.
Oh and sticking a load of high cap seeker missile launchers to it is fabulous too ☺
I love the gunship. I like the front view, side is meh... the ass... holy crap. That flat box ass. Nope, nope, and nope.
I prefer performance. Italians make flimsy stuff.
dude. your videos are inspiring. theyre SO well made and so fantastically beautiful and well thought out. please, PLEASE i cannot say it enough. keep doing this. because this is absolute art. every bit of passion and thought that has gone into all the videos about the ships. you made me come back to elite and LOVE it again. all the ships. back to the roots of when i would fly a viper mk4, so please, keep making these beautiful, amazing, awe-inspiring works of art. i really hope you see this so that you can know just how much it means, at least to me. and thank you. so very much.
Thank you. Very much.
The song to this intro is just perfect for this thing. And that bit where you’re spinning wildly round firing your guns is just epic. Looks like another ship I’m gonna have to buy thanks to you. The type 10, the chieftain, the vulture and now the gunship. Thanks man.
Happy to help. :-)
Every time I have to fight one of these, I know I can outturn it, I know I can outrun it, but I also know I definitely can't outshoot it.
While an NPC gunship may not win against me, if put in the right hands, these things can definitely put up a fight!
Wow best intro to an elite ship ive seen yet..that dubstep banger makes the ship absolutely baddass !! Love it
Now do the Gunship's big brother the Corvette!
Great video. You're always making me try new ships. Keep it up.
I love these videos man,
Watched all of them the moment I found this channel the other day.
I love the writing and camera work.
Keep it up!
Never really gave this ship a thought, but now that I'm getting into the Federation rank grind I may have a play around with it when I unlock it, mainly cause it looks like it could be a fun ship just to let off some steam and kill some space pirates.
great review as always :)
Another great review, love how you seem to be able to match the "personality" of the ship with the intro music!
Another great video. Thank you for the obvious passion, continuous quality, and observing the fourth wall in your videos. Your videos make the elite universe more fun and immersive.
Totally agree on the FGS. Was my first medium ship I truly engineered and focused on. I have since graduated to other stuff by I still use my FGS use loaded with packhounds and beams as my Federal Funship because it is stupid and glorious. The FGS makes PVE combat fun and easy but is overlooked due to its lack of prowess in PvP.
I have been binging your vids all week since I started plying Elite after a year off. Loving your work man!
I’m patiently waiting for the FDL video.
I just really love your videos I send them to all the lads in my squadron there just great m8 keep up the good work
Just wanted to say I love your reviews. You highlight the ship’s optimal strengths and builds but also give some caveats with the weaknesses. Whenever I think about buying a new ship to try out, I consult one of your videos. o7
I'm back to playing Elite Dangerous, No Man's Sky and Space Engineers really don't scare me... Better start taking my blood pressure pills again ;)
Hahahaha
@Yggdrasil Burnes Yes, CMDR PLATER captured video of it, could be an interesting story arc...
Dude, you're like the Regular Car Reviews of Elite. Love your stuff
I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the Federal Corvette!
I'm also waiting for the corvette review lol. I'm grinding Ceos sothis data missions
@@loganbates2657 I found doing Ceos passenger missions to Sirius Atmospherics and picking the "Rep" reward was a lot faster
Hands down my favorite intro on any elite dangerous video, ive actually come back a few times after first watching it when it came out because of it
third vid i've watched; best intro so far. hell yeah
Intro song found, purchased and downloaded. Thanks.
Nice vid btw. Loved the personal take.
You're the reason why I'm now trying to collect all ships in the game... Got mine a couple of weeks ago..... Keep up the great work!!!
Another awesome vid!
Loving your videos! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
I love the look of these ships.
A Space Brick, but theoretically could land on a planet with a Thin atmosphere.
The shot that begins at 2:32 is cool...nice work.
As the man with the golden gun ship. I fully welcome more people use this ship. So long as they understand it's limitations.
I've been telling you to do this baby for weeks. I'm glad you enjoy it.
1 federal gunship, a lot of doubleshot fragment cannons, 1 HAZ RES, premium ammo (optional). Interstellar god of destruction.
....and cue the maniacal laughter!
Thanks. I haven’t spent time in the FGS yet, just DS and FAS. I thought they were fun to fight in but not the best companions for traveling around (like for engineering) with their awful jump range and poor heat management when trying to scoop.
Eagerly awaiting the Adder review.
I enjoy all the Core Dynamics Fed ships. Sure they're bricks but I always liked the design(s) of the first 3 (as well as the Corvette). The FGS and FAS remind me of aerial fighter aircraft. FGS is a lot of fun when engineered but I have to say, I really love the FAS. It's been ages since I've flown either but the FAS... speed, maneuverability and a nose that acts as a 3rd large hard point. Good times. Keep up the great videos! o7
"Federal fun ship"
These video are always great
Bought it thanks to this video, had to grind a bit first though, it has 2 small fragment cannons with double shot, 2 medium beam lasers, 2 overcharged medium multi-cannons and 1 overcharged large multi-cannon.
I tore a Type 10 to shreds, it was beautiful.
I also bought a Type 10 because of you and it’s basically an unstoppable Flying Fortress with mining capabilities.
Most of the federal 3 are considerably tougher then folks give them credit for. With a fully upgraded dropship I blasted by way through a Krait on several occasions. I’ve blasted my through krait phantoms, through the odd python even. The key is the biggest turrets you can hang on it and a big ass rail gun
I get top gear Vibes watching these videos.
Keep em coming please. :D
The "mini Vette" requires a little finesse, FA off. If not toggle YAW boost FA off. After that triple OC MC's/Plasma's twin Packhounds Drag/Thermal and twin LR cascade rails. Fixed beam fighter to complete the package. More than enough to stay on track with Chieftains etc. Great work as usual, looking forward to the next!
I love the gunship. I originally bought and engineered one to join Mini on one of his Dakka Dakka fun days, great fun it was too. Since, I have converted it to a missile ship with 4 pack hound missile racks and 3 beam lasers with thermal vent to keep it from overheating, which works really well. In fact until I fire the pack hounds the temperature is at zero % when all the lasers are on target and even after the pack hounds launch it only hits around 35%. Highly recommended for some destructive fun.
Thanks so much for your videos.
Dakkanator 3000
Would be curious to see a review on the diamond back exp. its one of my favorite ships.
Hopefully you've managed to rank up enough to (finally) do the Corvette by now. Great vids, looking forward to it ;)
Awesome again, but still not the FDL, Corvette or Clipper. As every week, I will now have to buy and outfit one of these. Keep them coming. Love your work!
I see you took it and had some fun with CMDR Feisty Goat. He's the first and only guy to gank me so far. I'm not even mad anymore, he puts up a fun fight for those looking for it!
Imagine a couple of them escorting other slow ships, like a convoy, or guarding a few mining freighters. When your enemy has to come to you to get what they want, you don't have to be as fast as them. And there's that fighter bay. It's like it was designed with that in mind
It may look like a brick, but its at least a cool looking brick
Yes thats a yamix quote
It’s been years and still “make your booty bounce on the dance floor” gets stuck in my head
I came for the video. left with a ship n’ song.
Late to the party on this but I'm going to say it anyways. I am glad I found your review and your thoughts on this. I got this ship a month ago and have been in absolute love with it.
Sure it's slow but that's okay.
I'm not flying a ship, I'm flying a fucking gun and everything looks like they're hungry for my bullet snacks.
As someone who unabatedly loves the Krait Mk2... This damn thing is the absolute *bane* of my existence. Though with a little help from a HazRes next to a star and some thermal damage, it did force me to join the Quadruple 0 Club and survive 😂 (0% hull, display showing 0:00 oxygen remaining when I passed through the second barrier of the mailslot)
I just bought one of these last night. All I can say is it's a mix of a A-10 and a AC-130 and a Aircraft Carrier. It's amazing at PvE
Gunship is life, and this is great. Subbed. Kinda wanna make a montage of my own :DD
Used to be my main PvE ship until I got the Corvette. Now it's my PvE ship in Colonia. I tried the all-dakka loadout but that wasn't for me. The hardpoints are now: Main: 2 legacy engineered OC MCs and an APA with matched shot speed. Secondary: 2 Pack-Hounds to take down runners. Support: Corrosive Enforcer and a turreted Beam Laser.
It doesn't have more armor than the Challenger. More base hitpoints, yes, but it comes up short on HP if it trucks a hangar bay, and has a slight edge if the Challenger rocks a C1 FSD interdictor.
It's also much better with 5x Plasma cannons and a couple of C1 utility weapons (usually Feedback rails). The ship's time on target, as you noted is abysmal, and it gets much more mileage out of weapons that don't need lots of facetime to do their work.
That intro music fucken SLAPS
this "ugly" ship decorates my desktop since 2 years ^^
shame on you! ^^
Military ships aren’t designed to be beautiful.
@@definelogic4803 Yep! But They are.
I got the Gunship because I wanted a fighter equipped medium combat ship. Passed up the Krait because it would step on my Python's toes. One of my favorite things is that is can equip a class 6 fighter bay, meaning you can have two fighters launched between your one multi crew member and NPC crew. For weapons, multicannons are the big deal, but I do shake it up a little by putting two fragment cannons on the nose hardpoints. Changes up how I fly and it actually handles quite well in knife fighting range.
I love my pet brick I've not had it for that long but the firepower on it is insanity 😁
Kick Ass in ship form. Nice.
Btw, what are your EDFX settings? I absolutely love the way the game looks for you and I want it to look like that for me.
As usual, great video. This ship is a brick, but it is THE best Brick...and i love it. Thanks.
wrong, type 9 is the best brick
Out fitted mine with 4 cannons 2 turret pulse on top and 1 gimballed pulse. Once shields down and all 4 cannons hit enemy ships hull drops 15% to 20% a pull
Styling reminds me of the Kushan corvettes in Homeworld.
Slab sided/THICC, gimbaled guns everywhere, and mostly ignorable.... till you get swarmed by them in a rue awakening that they do exist.
This is like the old Need for Speed car presentations. Absolutely superb. I haven't seen anything like it for a fucking space sim.
Good for filming an episode of Space COPS!
Try 4 Medium Long Range Plasma Slug Rails, 1 Efficient Large Thermal Vent Beam and whatever you like on the Small hard points. Total devastation in any HazRez...! Nice work man!
I take it you have yet to complete the grind to unlock the more "exotic" ships in the game. Great videos by the way.
The Federal Gunship is the proof how effective bricks are at killing ;)
Yes! One of my top 3 ships
It would be fun to imagine these in the clone wars.
I'm not able to get enough of your videos. I've enjoyed every one. You planning anymore hijinks with yamiks?
Constantly. :-)
Rolled around in one of these for almost 2 straight years, nearly cried the day we got the fighters.
Still got her too but haven't had the time to re-engineer it (has the old mods still).
The secret to this monstrosity it to turn off FA, then break the toggle.
I'm guessing (maybe incorrectly) that you haven't done the other 2 of the "the big 3" because you don't yet have the rep with Empire or Fed but I'm really looking forward to the Corvette and Cutter videos =P
What I'm really curious about is what you're going to do once you've reviewed them all.....
stiimuli probably a continuation of those Top Gear equivalents in Elite dangerous he’s done with Yamiks and such, whacky challenges and all picking the ship they believe to be best for the job.
It’s also a great for ground attack if that’s something one would find interesting.
i like the look of ship ,i really like it
excelent
I bought my Gunship way back, during a community goal or other that resulted in Federal ships being sold cheaper and with no rank requirement for a week. I've blown up countless pirates in this ship. It's not the best at combat, and it's terrible at everything else. But there's just something about those 7 multicannons, plus a fighter, all firing at your target.
Great video, Cutter next please!
I love this ship, time to start saving and ranking up my Federation :(
Tip of the spear, maybe wing up and us it as the meat shield on the team.
I Have all four Fed. ships and from a vets point of view I understand why they are what they are. The Drops Ships is just that an Armed troop transport. For going from space to surface. Then to provide close fire support for marines as they advance from insertion to first waypoint. They would do SAR work for wounded marines on surface or pilots in space. The Assault ship does the same job as the Drop ship except it works in space sending Marines to enemy space Stations or ships. The Gun Ship Is exactly that! It is a close support ship at objective taking out ground installation defence placements and as a Fleet picket ship guarding a fleets flanks from attack. Corvettes would have these as wing mates. Not built to look good but built to fight as a team.
I like the industrial utilitarian design of this ship. It looks great. I bought one.
which ReShade did you use? This bright and too sharp look is pretty interesting
A little work and I think that speed problem could be fixed. I just might get one to play with. All the overcharged guns!
Love the look of Core Dynamics, they are efficient, minimal and deadly, can’t stand Gutamaya pontoon, danglybob, neon lighting junk with hardpoints that miss both left and right of what you’re pointed at. No accounting for taste I suppose.
The Pilot: "... that its one of the greatest medium ships in the have, but I can't."
Riley and Jonesy "Ferrrrdaaaaa!"
My favourite video from you
