"- Is this a good ship? Not really."
"- Do I care? Not ever a little bit."
Exactly! Every ship is a good as long as you are having fun. Thats the point of playing games - to have fun.
This. 100%. Gaining Cr is great and enjoyable, but the real end game was the good times we had along the way :)
Pilot: "The crusader is just not the best option out there..."
Me: "The tank, the occupation, or the ship?"
Yes
Nah the cromwell is better
@@Joopyter724 comet: uhh?
Sherman Firefly, because you can't take the sky from me.
The crusader is great when used well. But it sucks begin a crusader. About the ship idk
As always the best ship salesman in galaxy makes me buy another ship that I don't need, can't fly, definitely can't afford...and I don't care 😁 awesome vid yet again love it
Watching videos of The Pilot testing out various ships is what got me playing ED. Hell, I had to buy a new PC in order to be able to play ED. And now I have a total of 18 ships (and counting). While building cash reserves to buy a fleet carrier to store them all in. And yes, I have all 3 of the C ships. A rated, prismatic shields, Guardian FSD Booster, and adding engineering as I farm sufficient mats and get engineers unlocked. Never ending process.
"I've got plenty of guns and no where else to be"
I may have just found a new gaming slogan....
That's almost a mantra for life!😁
@@KickyFut uhhh.
Isn’t that the motto of the FDL?
"Because a parade of mediocrity is still a parade"
I appreciate this line.
He's so good at what he does. This channel should be huge.
If it didn't have the three military only slots, this might be one of my favorite ships. The military slots kill it for pretty much anything but combat, though. Damn I wish I didn't love this thing.
Same
Same... for me it's the best looking ship in the game... but for general ship there is not anof module space... 3A feul scoop is just not anof.
They Should do like passengers ships. Remove restrictions on slots.
If only, if only, the Engineers would allow you to change slot types on ships... Or if the multi-crew 'fighter carrier' thing worked for real.
@@Finwolven fighter carrier?
@@seanmal93yea crusader can launch 2 fighters if you're in multicrew
Can't get enough of your vids, it's like the 'honest trailers', just with our favourite spaceships. Keep it going my dude!
Any day I'm compared to a channel with 6.69m subs, is a good day.
@@ThePilot_ i know this is a stupid question but is this good for cargo hauling
@@hex5096 No. Sadly.
So, as an idea for when you finally run out of ships to review, other than moving onto fighters or weapons/modules/engineering, you could do a couple more direct comparisons of the C series and the Federal Mid-size series, with all three in frame together doing competitions old top-gear-challenge style.
I would watch the FCK out of that hahaha ❤️💪
Man... Just discovered your channel like 2 weeks ago and have been utterly blown away at the ultra-high quality and care you put into these videos.
I've got to especially commend you on your perfect pairing of music with the mood and tone you're going for at any specific moment of the video. Well done!
Thanks, man. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Yes I've watched all these videos and I've commented on every single one of them but I'm always replying to another comment. I guess I'm still replying to another comment but I wanted to say that I feel the same way about the channel. Great job 👍
As a Crusader pilot, I appreciate your candor
When you run out ships to review you could try selling refridgerators to eskimos!
I just started playing ED yesterday, I'm really glad I found you, and this series this early on my journey.
I've not flown the Challenger or the Crusader - I suppose I was put off by the *reviews* when they came out... I might give this a shot, 'cos it does look very splendid and I love my Chieftain. Great video as always. o7
Man, I absolutely love my Crusader. Am I the only one?
No
Feels more intimidating and fun to fly for me
Nope, I love mine.
It's my favourite one
I'll jump in and join the unpopular club too. My Crusader is my daily and so far it's a tank, just like its namesake.
"As long as you're willing to sacrifice a goat to get the multi-crew working"
I fucking died laughing
A wise man once said "don't be a great ship, just be a ship".
I like the look of the Crusader the most too :D
Too bad it doesn’t have a Templar cross livery though. It would be so cool if you could make your Crusader look like a… well… crusader
Like somebody mentioned before, your reviews are like Clarksons car reviews on the old Top Gear. Brilliant, self deprecating, funny and honest!!
Hey, I think this video is the epitome of your entire channel's voice.
I mean; the game gives you options. Its up to you to find what you enjoy, not what everybody else thinks you should enjoy.
Edit: obviously this is closing the ship review in the best way
I still remember when we thought this ship would be a large-class ship. You think if it was, would it potentially better (of course assuming it being large means it has more internals and hardpoints)?
I got the crusader a few days ago and I like it a lot. I think it's a very underrated ship.
Still sooo entertaining a year later!!!! I love watching your ship reviews!
I don't know why RUclips is claiming that I haven't already watched these and recommending them to me again.... but I'm not complaining.
Honestly, this is one of my fav bounty hunting ships, not because it's great but because I can make just about any setup work... I'm gonna take it thargoid hunting as soon as I finish engineering it :)
This was my first real ship after months in a hauler. Back then I thought it was amazing. Now it’s just a nice collection in my fleet.
Gets a like just for that banging intro track.
The sound design was a bit heavier than usual on this one. I'm glad you liked it.
I use a Crusader for Bounty Hunting but then I have a Lance Fighter, say no more, I enjoy the show with coffee & chocolate & laugh like a madman on steroids as I Collect all the Engineering goodies left over from the ship or Ships that were.
Miss You Pilot & thank you so much for leaving these videos up on RUclips.
To me it seems like the Crusader is basically a Keelback with better maneuverability, slightly better optional internals, and more guns. Or in other words, if you like the Keelback you'll probably like this thing too.
Happy to see I'm not the only one using the moniker "C-Series", though I might be using it for a different reason than most people (local plane manufacturer, Bombardier, used to have a prototype passenger plane called the C-Series. Didn't sell well under that name, because reasons, and ended up partnering up with Airbus, and now it's known as the A220 model.)
I actually bought this ship just because of this video and you know what I have no regrets
I love the crusader (the HMS Claymore) because (other than the grade 3 dirty drives) unengineered it is relatively affordable (about 75 mil fully outfitted to mostly grade A) and most importantly it suites my specification: Powerful in combat with ship launched fighters. I have a friend who i got into the game and they much prefer hanging out with me in my taipan than flying on their own. The crusader is the second cheapest slf capable ship allowing me to hang out in high res sites or low conflict zones or have an NPC fly the mothership and mess about in a taipan. Its also really pretty and looks like a ship you would find in a proper scifi movie, the way the other seats are up and behind the main one makes it seem like a proper bridge in a way that a cutter doesn't
I get all excited when there's a new Pilot review out. Love this serie, man.
Hey The Pilot, new Patreon patron here. I've always loved the way you work with the camera. I don't know how you do it, but I get inspired each time I see one of your videos to get cracking on that.
Thanks, man. :-)
Love it! And i think that "a parade of mediocrity is still a parade" would make an amazing shirt! Thanks as always!
I'm not one for ship combat, but this ship makes it so much more fun to me.
Bought this because I wanted a halo pelican. Stuck with it because it's a 20million credit hulk of firepower for it's class.
One person takes the helm, two deploy fighters, and one uses turrets mounted on the top and bottom so they always have a line of fire. Absolute pirate melter for relatively cheap.
Fun with AI crewmates and even more fun with three friends.
That "get 'em, boys" moment every time your ship is engaged and 10 different guns light then up is a lot of fun.
I could never made it space worth. Tears. You brought back all the pain pf loving the ship and hating the performance
that landing pad o7 was dope af
I use this big girl for team play in Odyssey and I love it's versatility.
Your vids got me back into elite dangerous hadn't played for years much has changed
These videos are always a treat, great camera work!
im going through and watching your videos again, they are master peices. a unique way of reviewing ships, talking about how you feel about them in character i like it :D
you have your finger on the pulse of this game. in the Cobra video you remarked that it's great because it's the first ship you make your own, which is excactly what my friend is doing right now. and the ending of this one is my exact attitude to the crusader. "is it good? no, do i care? not in the slightest." it's cool, it's fun, and it's my ship.
all of a sudden I find myself thinking.
what the hell did I do with my crusader lol
Great video as always! Don’t worry about those yelling “do the corvette!” You’ll get there when you get there. I for one like the Crusader, and hope you do a video for the Viper mk IV
Why did I buy a Crusader: I needed a ship that could launch two fighters at the same time for multicrew adventures and I was too poor to afford a Krait MkII.
And because it's fucking badass looking.
0:53
Silently screaming: WHAT IS WRONG WIHT YOU THE CHREIFTAN Lookes G BETER!!1!!one!
Talk about being on time!
Man we're gonna miss you. Come back soon
Wonderful as always
Apparently we have the same thoughts regarding this ship - it's not GOOD, but it is an idea that we can get behind. Also if you somehow manage to get the multi-crew working then it's way more fun that it's compatriots.
Can't wait for your corvette vid. Keep up the great work!!
This ship is the perfect example of "how blind" they are at Fdev,a string of missed opportunities.
On paper, a great combat support ship. The trouble is getting the thing around to engineers in one piece for me.
Excellent vid as always :)
gosh ur videos are just so well done!
This was my first "proper" combat ship, and did I want a Krait MkII over this ship? OF COURSE I DID! But I was a new player. I could barely afford to outfit my half-assed Vulture at the time. I was thinking of something with fighters, something I could teach an even-newer friend of mine combat in. I thought about a Keelback, but it sucked BAD in all but a few combat situations. So, after inquiring with a friend, I had my heart set on the Sader. I needed to make 18 million credits, and fast. I was morally opposed to deep-core mining as a strategy since it ruins player progression. So I went to the last CG, in Reorte, and grinded the hell out of commodity runs to Lave in my beloved Dolphin, taking less than 100 tons per trip. I got in the top 25% and bought the Sader, then upgraded modules until I didn't even have enough credits left for a rebuy. Then I spent weeks grinding missions in my existing ships, pouring all credit revenue into modules. This thing is like the Cobra Mark III of fighter-compatible ships: you have to work for every module, and it's only one step above a Sidewinder (or rather its fighter equivalent, the Keelback). I painted the ship purple. I tried on a bunch of different hardpoint options. Then I took it out to a HazRes for the first time and had to spend some cash on a rebuy. But did I give a shit? No! I started to engineer it, using what little materials and access I had at the time. I got ganked by some asshole in Sol. I kept getting bounty vouchers and started doing CZs. I've really come to love this ship. And even though my credit balance is way higher now, and even though I bought a Krait Mark II, I still love my Crusader. It just means so much to me, to think of the time I sank into it.
completely agree with you, I have my Crusader to have fun with, not spend hours min maxing a build, have enough of that on the Anaconda already.
nice video!! i love these so much ^^ I was looking at your channel the other day, man you haven,t done the corvette yet?! I hope you do it next x)
The definition of " Hey! It's a pile o' junk, but she's MY pile o' junk
Damn. Right.
It may be a bad ship, but it looks like what I consider to be the perfect drop ship.
I will always love the crusader, because it gave me a thirst for ship launched fighters and that brought me to the krait II.
Damn!! I reeeally enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for your hardwork
Yeah I don't understand what the third one is supposed to be. It makes so many compromises to add that fighter bay it's ridiculous. The other two are pretty decent as long as you equip a MRP to keep your canopy intact. Still it's tough to argue selecting one of the Chieftain line over a medium from Faulcon DeLacy.
This is my main ship with a sleek bright white paintjob and rocking green thrusters/weapons. She might be a glorified brick strapped to the tits with hardpoints, but heck if she ain't the most ruthless gunship I've ever flown. I tried moving onwards and upwards to a Fer-De-Lance and even a Python, but they went straight into the junkyard as I found myself going back to my first love and joy the Crusader.
You have a wonderful voice for this!
I spent an entire month running massacre missions for my fleet carrier. I leaned on 4 ships to do this. Krait, gunship, crusader, and type 10. Hands down, the type 10 brought in the most bag and kills. The krait hardly got used at all unless I was high grade signal farming at the same time. It came to the gunship or the crusader… and I’m still torn. If anything the crusader edged out the gunship just based on looks.
I haven't got a Crusader yet, but I have chosen it as a sort of support ship for my friends and I in Odyssey, both of them are using very good combat ships. Meanwhile I'm just there to enjoy life in Elite Dangerous, going to equip it with 1 fighter Bay, 1 planetary vehicle bay, pack hounds and something to deal with shields. As I said before, I'm not really interested in combat and would be equipping modules and hardpoints to how I would use it if I owned it in real life. Not there to be the best at anything, just there to do what I like to do.
My Crusader, The Falconer, was an absolute joy to fly.
The best way to do it was to use multicrew and a fighter pilot, so that while the AI flew the fighter, the crewmate could launch the missiles and man the chin turret. We had so much damage output that no other medium ship in the game stood a chance.
If they ever fix the multicrew, I'll definitely have to jump back in to Elite and give it another go.
After like 150 hours in game I've only just realised you can fly ship launched fighters yourself and it's not just npc's
I love the style of this ship it reminds me of dark orbit
Big Boy!
Bro, I'm not gunna lie. I was looking for actual gameplay reviews for all the ships to watch while my sons playing around for too long in the bath, but I found these. I've been sitting here probably longer than I should, but I can't tear myself away from the honesty and general anti-meta rhetoric. I love the crusader. I'm rolling around in a challenger at the moment because I need to accomplish things after starting over on xbox, but the crusader was hella fun. Everyone hates it, yes, but fuck em. Its gorgeous and fun to fly, and who wants to fly cookie cutter meta ships all day?
I fly this thing more than my KraitII in combat ngl. With a fighter, 2x heal beams, and enough firepower to spare if smartly engineered this thing is SUPER underrated for solo bounty hunting IMO. Best thing about the C-series apart from the looks is that they all have excellent hardpoint placement.
3:05 i feel called out
I'm wondering if Lakon intended these things to work in mixed packs, each model balancing out the flaws of the other.
Crusader as a fighter carrier whilst the Chieftain runs ahead as both the gun platform and as a distraction to keep attackers away from the Crusaders. What about the Challenger? Close support of the Crusaders, I think. Mobile shields and armour plate to keep back anything that gets through the marauding Taipans and Chiefs out at the front of the formation but able to also keep the skies around them clear.
Still have an 'Alliance Constrictor' on my wish list, though. Something Corvette or even Defender-sized that merges all the best qualities of its little brothers.
Oh, and if I ever get an Adder Mk3 with that Union Jack paint job, I'm so naming her 'Quadrophenia'.
Think about how those three packs together against the goïds.
How dare you attack my favourite pizza like that
This thing reminds mee of a Halo Pelican. It just looks like it could have a warthog strapped under the tail. I love the c-series ships
Your reviews massively enhance my immersion in a game I don’t actually play…..write?
jeremy clarkson + elon musk = the pilot
I miss you 😭
This series is just too good
The Cobra 3 got me to the Crusader which I sold when I could afford the Krait mk2 (favourite ship) which in turn got me to the Anaconda and yet I still kind of miss the Crusader for some reason I can't quite put my finger on. I love it but don't know why.
Phenomenal job as always
Thank you
Where mah clipper?
I have a Crusader and I love it!
If you listen really carefully, you can hear my neighbors pug fart, as it squats down to take a dump... which is percisely what this entire line of ships remind me of.
it's funny seeing a multi million heavy combat ship atacking a tiny little cobra
"it's not like I was gonna be fighting off the thirteenth legion anyways"
Nah you could take on the World Eaters ez pz, unless they board
“This ship is like getting a pizza but the only topping is pineapple” 😂😂😂
Nice been waiting for this one!
Once engineered, this ship is awesome, have to customise it to your needs, take mine to a haz rez all the time!
New respect for Crusader gained o7
It hadn't occurred to me before they had named them after tank designs. I've given my ships names and used names from British Navy ships for them.
"it's not as if I'm gonna be fighting off the 13th legion"
I can't tell if that's a 40k reference or
Apparently I'm the one who likes pineapple pizza. Pretty new pilot here and I really enjoyed flying the Keelback with a fighter in combat missions. Except, I wanted it to be more durable, more manueverable, with more guns and slots and a less smashy canopy. The Alliance Crusader feels like a bigger, faster, stronger Keelback and that's fine for me.
Top notch as always dude o7
Well I’m honestly surprised that this ship is not a more “civilian” variant of the chieftain, basically a cargo transport version of . I mean, it already has the appearance, and crusader is the most thicc of all 3 of them. Basically get rid of the military compartments, and put some more class 6 and 5s regular internal slots, and improve its fsd so it can be a long range armed hauler.
YAYYYYY! Love new uploads
You are the man. Great work dude. 👍🏼
Hear me out. For odyssey, turn this thing into an orbital ordinance unit. (All hardpoints as dumbfire missles)
*utilize the fighter bay for cover*
i love the looks of this ship its my favorite ship in the game... well to be honest id love a combo of all the ships into one have the fighter bay... those pylons from the challenger on the back and the forward thrusters idk why but that just seems so cool to me as an idea for a design and if you wanna go all out have all the hardpoints from all the other ships mounted on it as well and just total your power distributor.
