"This is the Alliance Challenger. Not a great name for a spaceship."
Seven people died to make that joke funny.
7 people died to make that one funny, too
@@jdl2327 7 people died to make that point
At least many Bothans didn't have to die?
Bro wtf why do we have the same profile picture
@@jaqe64mate51 because mine is the logo for the Peacekeepers from the TV show Farscape. That logo is based on Beat the Whites With the Red Wedge, which you're using. It's just a cleaned up version.
"Boost noise that sounds like the neighbor kid's 30 year-old Honda"
Confirmed! Honda was still cranking out surface vehicles at least as late as 3275! :-D
I've got a spot on my wall that would look great with one of those lovely Thargoid paintings! Also, thanks for the visual tip on differentiating the Challenger from the Chieftain and Crusader. As a Crusader owner, it's a little embarrassing that I can't pick it out of the pack.
Then again, EVERYONE IS WITHIN CRUSADING RANGE
I Think Honda-Faulcon Peaked With Their "Longinus" Atmospheric Land Vehicle, Although, The Sidewinder Carrying Mechanism Was Kinda Fragile.
But does it have a vtec head?
@@brkbtjunkie That's a ship kit upgrade.
I've actually stopped buying any new ships. I have a jumper, a fighter and a cargo mover. What happens to me is I buy a ship, I engineer it and then I try to use it and realize its not as good at anything my other three ships can do. I really wish there were more subcategories of ships with fixed modules and different focused abilities. for instance a "search and rescue ship". Imagine a ship all geared up for refuel, repair, better sensors that can find out more information about signal sources, an ability to pick up cargo from destroyed ships and get a bounty for returning it instead of "Illegal cargo" . maybe a ship just for helping people might get some NPCs to say "never mind, I will find another target, thanks for all you do commander!"
I like this.
I’m new to Elite. Out of curiosity what ships do you use? I just got into the Cobra MKIII and I’m enjoying it so far. I’ll prob wait to buy another ship until I can afford something like the Krait MKII. I’m mostly into mining at the moment. However I’d like to transition to exploration in the future.
@@jjsemperfi how are you doing? I went from Cobra mk lll to type 6, did a little bit of mining, and bought krait mk ll :-D that ship is perfect. Now I have a bit more ships already. Don't you want some help playing?
I totally agree, eve online could provide a lot of ideas on this matter.
@@jjsemperfi well I have two jump ships now. Aspx and an Anaconda. the conda has a longer range but cant land on med pads and the Aspx is really cheap to ship to a station so its my shuttle in the bubble. Imperial courier for mining and cargo and federal corvette for fighting pirates. I have picked up a few more ships just for fun but they are all mostly to break up the boredom and try something new. I bought a vulture and its fun to fight but fights last a long time in one, I got spoiled with the time to kill on my Corvette.
Im not great at coming up with the right words to properly express things; but i'll try my best here.
Your videos are quite frankly amazing. You manage to create content that is informative and well explained, while at the same time being both visually and auditorily a treat to enjoy. It says a lot about a the quality of your work when I would both enjoy listening to your videos without watching them, and watching them without hearing anything.
In short, I love and admire the work that you do and hope to be able to see it continue for as long as you enjoy making it.
Mr The Pilot I really hope you expand your reviews to other things like places of interest, factions, and other elements of Elite Dangerous. You have a knack for making ship reviews interesting and fun and I'd love it if you did that on a broader scale. Thanks for the videos!
Challenger is my dedicated anti thargoid ship, just amazing how fast it is for the amount of armor you can pack into it
I built mine for thargoids... But I also built the krait mk2... And I haven't stopped using the krait yet. Lol.
@@emilyhofland8219 I feel like this is exactly the problem with all 3 medium Alliance ships. It's not that they're bad at all. It's that once you have a Krait (really either Krait - the Phantom is astoundingly good at combat) it's hard to justify taking the Alliance ships out of the hangar.
@@austinm5630 i have every ship. 2 of some. All are A Rated. I'm just a Horder. I haven't found a used for alliance. That my krait and fdl don't already have held down.
I tried too. But it has so many slots and only 4 AX can be used...
sure but there is no cap on using guardian weapons
Bruh, that’s amazing work, your videos are my favourite series of elite vids ever, informative, beautiful, you can really feel the work you put in. Well done!
Top notch work as always! Always love seeing the Top gear References in your work. Jeremy Clarkson is definitely your spirit animal. Put me down as wanting one of those paintings. Looking forward to next week! Glad to have you back this week!
I would love to get one of those paintings.
You do some of the best ED ship reviews, they always feel very polished.
Those paintings are sick- kudos!
You've got bags of potential man, I would love to see more outside-the-box topics. Every ship video so far has been great.
This channel is honestly so professional and well done for its age. It's a wonder why it hasn't grown that big yet. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Its dazzling how such amazing content has soo few subscribers... Wonderful work as always! o7
He'd better start on the gameplay loops before he runs out of ships to critique. Unless of course he starts looking at other ships in other games such as Star Citizen.
E:D is pretty niche thats why
As always, great video, pilot. I hope you were able to make peace from last week, and I look forward to more ship reviews. Your videos have reinvigorated my love for this simulation, thank you.
Oatmeal raisin is the best kind of cookie, change my mind
Ok. Eat a chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven, and then an oatmeal raisin cookie fresh out of the oven, and come back to me.
@@ThePilot_ that's too much work. Just try dunking an Oatmeal Raisin cookie into an ice cold glass of milk.... Chocolate Chip wins. FATALITY
Hmm. Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever had an oatmeal raisin cookie right out of the oven. I'm sure it'd be delightful though.
@@ElecManEXE There's a reason. It's remarkably terrible. A lot of the structural stability of cookies comes with cooling down, but it's especially bad for an oatmeal base. What you end up with is essentially a handful of hot oatmeal. With hot raisins.
Not to say you can't get a chocolate chip cookie to become hot magma in your hand, but at least it's melting gooey chocolate and actual cookie.
@@ThePilot_ Hmm. Fair enough I suppose. So warm chocolate chip cookies are better than warm oatmeal raisin cookies, but cool oatmeal raisin cookies are superior to cool chocolate chip cookies. And since cookies are going to be cool more often than warm, that means oatmeal raisin still wins overall :D
Oh hey! Another Pilot video. Always something nice to wake up to!
So I've only been playing Elite for two months now and since I've found your channel, you've made me forget I'm playing a game. Keep up the work. Also those paintings are awesome.
I would love one of the paintings. I love your videos. The level of detail and polish is better than most channels with 10x your subscribers and frankly this is a criminally underrated channel. Keep up the excellent work cmdr o7
man just getting back to elite after just giving the game a short ride back last year. And during research I came across your videos and I have to say I absolutely like them! It is literally the perfect balance of seriousness explaining ship features and some nice fun! :)
Please keep it up! :)
Great ship reviews! Can't wait to see what you do whith the Fleet Carriers.
Your intros alone earned my subs man.. the visuals and music are spot on man!😭👍
Great vid man! Thank you. Look forward to your vids every week!
Man, it never fails to amaze me how consistently awesome your videos are in every aspect. Brilliantly written scripts, delivered oh-so-well, over top of beautifully composed shots. What's not to love?
I've never had much luck with raffles, but you can't win if you don't play, so sign me up for a chance at one of those awesome paintings, please!
Excellent review, couldn't agree more. I always enjoy seeing a new video from you. Keep up the good work!
Those paintings look amazing too. I love the design of Thargoid ships an those paintings definitely capture the beauty if them. Very well done.
Always brightens my day when you post another ship review, really helps break up the monotony of the day.
He's the only creator I have now with the alarm bell on
I want a painting!!
Having a deadly space lotus on my wall will certainly compliment my furniture.
Also can't wait to see your video on the Imperial Cutter.
Love your content mate, and those paintings look amazing! Keep up the excellent work
I'd absolutely love one of those paintings! Those Thargs look pretty cool! Nothing like having a picture of your target before you hunt em down!
As with many others a weekly dose of the Pilot keeps me interested. Hopefully when FDEV sort out the ongoing September patches we can all getting playing reliably again. Until then a Pilot video gets me flying something I haven't tried in a while. Excellent as ever. (Still need to see the Clipper and FDL by the way). P.S. Love the paintings.
I'd love one of those paintings.
And thank you for some amazing content
I would love one of those paintings. They look wonderful, and my walls feel a little bare.
As always, you've done an excellent review, and I look forward to your next review!
Welcome back. Crusader next? Lol another awesome video. Man those prints tho
I enjoy your reviews well done. And I dig those paintings bro! Hope to hear back from ya!
I'll tell you what's it good for, with all those hardpoints and so much space for hull/module reinforcement.
Killing thargoids.
And that's about it.
Damn straight. It's my only ship I go hunting xenos for. Even more fun when multicrew is utilised, when the stupid thing works.
and that's exactly what it was designed for.
Sure, ....Cyclops only. Anyone soloed a Basilisk? The ship has great lateral maneuverability but is too slow.
@@falco566 yes. There are videos of a CMDR in a Challenger soloing not only a Basilisk in an Ax conflict zone but also killed the Hydra at the end.
@@falco566 Guy in AXI solo'd a Hydra and three Basilisk in a Chieftain, no shields. Dude is a monster, no one else can compete. Video of it somewhere around here...
*edit: point being... anything and everything is possible.
Those paintings are sick! Love the videos my friend, keep it up commander! o7
Love to hear your opinions and well made videos! Thargoid art is awesome!
Awesome video as usual.
I was recently told I need some art to make my house more home-ly and lived in so I'd love a painting!
Thank you for the awesome ship review videos. They are extremely entertaining and informative.
"It's the one missing the maneuvering thrusters at the front...." It's amazing that it turns at all compared to Chieftains design.
Cool paintings, would love to have one!
Well, it has them moved to the upper back.
Yet another top-notch video!
And in for one of those paintings =D
Your videos are always a highlight of my day man
Needed this one today. Thank you.
Your work is absolutely stunning. This video is no exception. Thank you.
Great video. Keep them coming
Commenting for goids GOIDS!!!
Sidebar your ship reviews are awesome! Keep it up!
Love these reviews, it really helps me when I’m think about what ships to try out cause I feel like I know a little more about them, also I would love to see an adder review at some point, my friend swears by that ship but personally I’ve never tried it so I’d love to know your view.
Also those paintings look incredible, I know a spot where one would be perfect :)
Every ship eventually. I'll get there. :-)
I always get a Top Gear vibe from your vids. The sarcasm and cinematography are so entertaining.
Thank you for being alive . My life is good now after watching this video 🙏
i love your videos man!! is so fucking well made!! what passion
Love your videos! I would love one of those thargoid paintings.
I am about to make a chally and here is such a piece of useful advice. Thanks cmdr!
Nice work. I've enjoyed your videos for some time now, and have recommended your channel to several friends. The combination of content and cinematography is impossible not to enjoy. I don't normally post on RUclips, but the opportunity at a chance to win one of those paintings is too much to pass up.
ok so now i know how to differentiate the challenger what about the others? love the content dude keep it up
I’ll be frank. I guess I’m one of the few people that genuinely love the challenger. To get that DPS, for PVE combat missions and Bounties. I can sit in a hazard and come back with tens of millions of credits in hours. the cockpit doesn’t bother me that much. And with thargoids it does better than the chieftain, marginally but still better. I guess it’s just me I guess. But it’s a nimble tough, Dakka laser machine. Also a wonderful escort.
Whoa, those paintings are awesome! Heck yeah, put me in that drawing!
I actually really love the design of the Challenger, the 4 engine pods at the back is just aesthetically pleasing to me
It's also makes it more distinctive from the other two alliance ships.
Great stuff as always. Haven’t flown the Challenger yet, but love the Chieftain. It’s my go to combat ship. Paintings look awesome, btw.
Dude i love your videos! keep up the great content!
Thanks again for the content, that artwork looks great too!
i would love one of those paintings please. Lovely content as always. Cheers!
You left my price range a while back but hay I still enjoy the videos, thanks.
Love your videos man.
Hey CMDR, so glad to see another video from. Top notch content as per the usual. Think you can hit the tripple-whammy and give us a review of the Crusader next?
I'd definitely be down for one of those paintings BTW, they look gorgeous! o7
Every ship eventually!
3 medium gauss cannons on the chin, 1 small up top. 2 small thermal vent beam lasers and a flak launcher. Outstanding Anti-Xeno ship. It’s a bit slow when fighting Basilisks solo but if you do AX CZs in a wing the extra dps and 2 thermal vent beams make it an outstanding ship.
Awesome video and awesome artwork/painting skills
Sick paintings my dude. Keep up the videos!
Lovely vid as always :D
More great content by a fellow IT leader! Love your videos, keep it up and I hope this allows you to get out of IT! Combat wise my favorite ships are the FAS and FGS 👍
The spaceship guide we all never knew we needed!. I wish there was more ships in ED like a lot more 😬👌
A great video as always. I hope you make one on The Crusader to get your thoughts on that. :)
Would love a chance at one of those paintings, and as always, awesome video.
Was waiting for this ship review on this channell. Still not sure of swaping all the Chieftain stuff into Challenger something does not convince me yet. Awsome work Cmdr
Paintings rock, I'd love one!
Love to see what you think of the fas
Great video as always, the ship is really fun to fly, I bought it based only on the description in game to upgrade from a Vulture, now I use to try weapons that I'm not used yet, I like the three front hardpoints.
uhhh, would love a painting, and keep up in the vids man, good work
I would love one of those paintings, they're absolutely gorgeous. Whoever ends up with them is hella lucky
I don't even want to buy a challenger but I really love hearing you present stuff.
I love the list you had for the ship.
Congratulations! You won! You can reach me at pilot@distractiondance.com to arrange a place I can send your new painting!
@@ThePilot_ Holy crap I won!? I'm emailing you now with a mailing address.
Those paintings look awesome! I'd love one!
As for the Challenger, my experience with it was rough. Very rough. The Chieftain is best, but the Crusader can be more fun if you set it up with fixed weapons and let your Elite ranked NPC fly it while you fly the fighter.
Im new to elite dangerous this year and Im really enjoying these videos
I just came by to get some opinions on my next ship, but tell your sis her paintings are dope AF
Great Vid as always!! 😁 Also I'd love to be one of the winners of those awesome Thargoid Paintings, they're beautifully made! Fingers crossed 😅
I would love to see a review of the Federal Corvette, the star-destroyer-not-star-destroyer ship. Excellent reviews, keep em coming!
Every ship eventually
He actually has to do the poop grind first.
love your show, great job.
Those paintings pretty good, wouldn't mind having one of those. Would make my cockpit stand out
As always, thank you for the vid!
Good review, high quality video, thanks a lot. You know your stuff and you share it in precise yet beautiful images and text. Spent months making one Challenger pve combat, one xeno, coz I wanted to love it. But having a Krait II makes it bitter. For AX, the Challenger Is good against Cyclops or in support, but too slow for bigger ones - use thermal vents...
Great vid! Awesome artwork!
IMO. You are by far the best when it comes to showcasing ships from Elite Dangerous. I'm not joking man. "The Best!" Whenever I need to know more about a ship before I make the final decision on a purchase. I always come to you first. I just enjoy the way you put your content together. Hell, I even watch them just for the fun of it. Some of them make me bust out and start laughing. Like the "Chieftain" video. Oh, man! I had to show that one to at least 5 or 6 people that made me laugh so much. Just keep up the great work man 👍. It's always fun hearing what you have to say about these ships.
Those Thargoid paintings are awesome!
You know what... not being able to tell what it is for, in my book, is a huge plus. It means it can be anything you want it - need it to be! :D
Also, dat "is it green?" part, 10000000/10 would sub again
Buddy and I used it as a step up from the aspx because of the slightly increased cargo space. And then we did shit tons of wing missions. Now we both have non-engineered condas set up for trade with 20ly laden jump ranges
Those paintings are lovely, I like the idea of hanging one up and people thinking it's a pretty flower instead of a killer alien. :D
i really would like to see the imperial clipper! you make great videos btw i binge watch them lately
again with the synthwave... i love it :)
Great video as usual
Those paintings are absolutely phenomenal, i would literally buy that first one.
Also, are there any for sale? :)
Challenger equipped with 3 guardian adv shards is a beast. (needs some work to handle the heat of whopping 3 x 19.8) But i am honestly surprised how well it handles heating issues when engineered.
thanks for helping me pick out my ship after watching these 3. I almost got the crusader cuz I wanted the fighters but u talked me out of it and saved me some money I hope the chieftain is as good as you say lol. Anyway amazing videos u got a subscriber 👍
im a couple years late, but wow! those thargoid paintings are really cool!
Cool paintings!
