Imperial Clipper "review" [Elite Dangerous]

After some grinding and some more grinding you will finally get the rank and enough money to get Clupper(Mistake spotted by : CMDR EinfachNurMarc), but should you!?
*Slight mistake that the dumb Yamiks made : "..right side is the proper one to be piloted from" ..i meant LEFT!

7:02 my mind broke a little with that cut

[@thenativemartian5169]

I gotta say yamiks is the guy that got me into playing elite dangerous in the first place and this was the first of his videos that I watched. I finally got the game and thought "that ship looks awesome I need it" and so I grinded for about three months (having never heard of the ngalinn run before) and the clipper is the one ship that I am trying to fully a grade. It is the perfect ship for me and thank you yamiks for introducing me to one of my most played and favourite games.

[@thenewsh7414]

I just wish this ship could land on a Medium pad like the Python, then it would be almost perfect. Well, aside from the weird cranial bump thing you pointed out. Can't unsee it now. Great video, as usual

[@schiefer1103]

I could live with it, as it isn't such a big issue for me... If only it wasn't the my lacking of imp ranks

[@mateuszwrobel1919]

I really like that craniacal thing, also the clipper was my first real ship so i have some kind of nostalgia towards it. Definitly never sell it

[@asingularcheesepuff6383]

Grinding for this ship currently, I'm super hyped after watching your review! Looks like the perfect step up from my AspX

[@TheYamiks]

have a good one! For m the sound was the biggest surprize!

[@asingularcheesepuff6383]

Gotta agree with you there. :3

[@Krisosmi12]

UHHHHH, I’M ALSO GRINDING TO IT FROM AN ASPX

[@toddsterrtm5756]

nothing beats a fresh ship review on a tuesday morning.... great video, keep up the great content

Please never make that noise again. ⁀⊙﹏☉⁀

fapnoizeeee

[@metalgear1303]

Lmao! The funniest damn ship review i have seen yet :D I love my Clipper and i lucked out and was able to buy it a long while back during a community event without needing the rank to get it. Keep up the great video work lol.

[@TheAngrySaxon1]

I think I spent the entire review laughing my arse off, you guys are hilarious!

[@kyleblackburne2870]

I’ve been doing courier mission between Ngalinn and Mainani. I’ve just hit Baron rank and it took maybe 2-3 hours of fairly laid back courier work.

[@Matork2100]

Let's go Yamik let's go!

[@TheGranicd]

Think ED droped the ball on designing front of the ship. It looks like a front of TGV fast train.

[@CAL1MBO]

Looks like old Shinkansen. Fucking badass

[@ninthkind]

Honestly I like the design cuz it was like a throwback to one of the best aerodynamics we have/had. It screams that it goes fast af xD

[@williamampuero2841]

another great entertaining informative vid. keep me flowing

[@shahman76]

Waiting for this to release on PS 4. I didn't have a faction preference, but now thanks to your videos, I serve the Empire!

[@hardbass3602]

Holy phuck, the throttle up sounds like a 747 powering up but only sexier. Love your videos man, im new to game and so far I have found your videos on elite to have the best blend of funny and informative.

[@thirstysailor579]

“Fly from the right side.” Bruh, the captain sits on the left side of the cockpit while the co-pilot right, so if I ever board your ship and sit in the left seat that means I’m the captain now and I have final authority on the operation of that ship.

[@matteusvirtanen392]

When are you going to review combat logging?

[@MainesOwn]

while having been annoyed by many of the ca. 50 videos I have watched so far from this channel, this one finally got me hitting that subscribe button

[@smokinggnu6584]

I loved my clipper so much back when i played previously. Started up again and decided to wipe my save completely to experience all the new stuff from the beginning. I am getting that damn clipper back if it kills me!

[@shadeofsound23]

@03:22 - Oh wait, WE DO?! *checks* Dammit you done got my hopes up. It's just a stale, upside down candy corn in a suit.

[@Paroxsym-OX]

LOL

[@ToriYamazaki]

Nice job! I LMAO at your ... um... "cheek work" ^_^

[@_borderz]

This video helped me make up my mind to make a clipper pirate build instead of going conda python or krait. once again thanks for a great review

[@thestone7712]

your humor is just out of this world

[@mainframeerror1246]

FINALLY! a ship with the drivers seat on the correct side

[@HavoctheGodamn]

Please never change

[@tommyleisy863]

Random thought: Given the lack of weapon convergence and the average shields, yet the outstanding speed and maneuverability, could this be a good platform for AX multicannon turrets? It would be perfect for Thargoid Scout hunting. Thoughts??

[@theycallmenyquil8064]

I made it to earl and decided to go engineer grind. Figured I'd come back to this mind bendingbordom grind later.

[@stevenk8189]

The boost sounds like some maniac is ass whipping unicorns in the basement of your ship. Great!

[@indytucker]

Your a nut......always enjoy your work. Keep it up

[@judeg.8101]

They made me buy the Damm thing!!!! PEER PRESSURE to keep up with the Jones's

[@ThatJerseyBloke]

:-) Currently, my favorite general purpose ship. I didn't grind for it but I'm glad I got one. I really appreciate and have fun with it. It's my cargo, passenger, exploration, and privateering (Not Piracy) ship. It's so true to its' historic namesake and IMO, one of the best designed ships in the game. Always entertaining Yamiks!

[@Kuzgunrunner1]

Is Clipper good for passengers mission?, I'm using Python for trading only for now.

[@powerline4564]

nice video! will you do a cutter review, too?

[@TheYamiks]

Sooner or later, yes!

[@AmboXB]

And the Scrubvette?

[@Toby_Bikes]

the classic comedy of yamiks

[@Malfunct1onM1ke]

Yamiks, whats the yodel-song called playing at the end? :D

[@TheYamiks]

as far as I know : there isn't one, I found it on YT really soo yeah

[@DreamhopMusic]

Good job mate

[@flight1254]

Can you outfit a clipper with passenger cabins?

[@apanmarius]

did my "grinding" till the ranks for cutter in like 2 days in quince, made more than 300 mil it was a good 2 days

[@squirrellordsgaming2772]

Just got mine, gave it the Blue color. I like it... It's great for cargo running and killing unsuspecting NPC's and Players alike... Four engineered gimballed multi-cannons are surprisingly good for this ship... I'll be unironically using it for the Federal Rank grind missions....

[@tinglydingle]

What are your HUD colour values? I've never seen one I've loved as much as yours.

[@TheYamiks]

0.2, 0.2, 1 0, 1, 0 1, 0.7, 0.7

[@thenativemartian5169]

What is the music at 8:00 called? thank you

[@QuiteSpiffing]

Technically the best place to pilot a ship from would be the middle .. But I don't mind the pilot seats beaing on the right side.

[@slunkyjones9962]

“We have an orangutan for a president” immediately checks what year this came out in to make sure it wasn’t during Obama

[@markhackett2302]

Ah, well old, but just in case, the reason why on the right side is because most people are right handed and are armed with their right hand, so if you pass someone on horse or cart on the right then you are both equally able to defend yourself. The reason for being on the left hand side is Napoleon was a fastidious cavalryman. Seriously. When you get off a horse, if you're right handed you get off on the left side of the horse and up from that side too. So if you pass right hand, you will be in the left lane and if you're in the left lane the left hand side of the horse means you're standing in the gutter to get on or off your horse. And that is the bit that isn't well packed and therefore will be muddy, even if it isn't used for "runoff". So places that were overrun by France in its empire days went right hand traffic and therefore sitting on the left. France was the reason why the USA got started and also why the won their independence: before France's entry into the war the US irregulars were losing BADLY. The french blockaded the British supplies and produced actually trained soldiers that could fire their guns accurately enough and work together as a unit and thereby increase their fighting capability. And to celebrate beating the Brits, France gave the USA a statue.

[@mclaine7342]

God, i love this guy! :D

[@Kishandreth]

The imperial battering ram. Run engines and shields and just boost into your opponents

[@StRoRo]

I use my Clipper for passenger missions. If you don't need luxury, its very good.

[@AshenTechDotCom]

i love my clipper, favorite ship in the game to fly. i use dual efficient beams and a focused bl and cannon(large heal beams, mid gimb cannon and bl focused concordant turret.. i just use a type 7 bi-weaves and a full set of boosters, it dosnt need chaff or even fucking point defence the way i have it setup, i can solo elite vettes without losing shields or running or using banks... time consuming but... feels soo goood ;)

[@nqvy_4546]

I like the clippers landing legs...

[@BigRoofus999]

So, did you damage your cheek on that?

[@diceman199]

I called mine Baron's Folly :-)

[@antwan1357]

Remember kids don't do drugs and the cheapest place to buy an A rated Clipper in the galaxy is Hahn Orbital in the Bandizel system ,inside Li Yong-Rui space.

[@DeltaVictorMike]

that was refreshing. thanks.

[@spewup2003]

Hi big ask but could you let me know your matrix colours for your HUD as they are cool as hell!!

[@TheYamiks]

0.2, 0.2, 1 0, 1, 0 1, 0.7, 0.7

[@spewup2003]

Fantastic thanks man. Awesome vids by the way keep them cuming ;)

[@lordwontner3936]

Fucking love your review videos great reviews and funny as hell just brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍

[@nazarethbarker4937]

I just wish it had legs.. i dont mind the off set cockpit on the big ships, but the fer-de-lance? I just cant get over it. Im always fighting my fsd over target alignment. I really feel like it needs a an extra medium hardpoint, or a fighter bay.

[@what50477]

Somewhere between 2:14 and 2:15. Those frames will haunt me for the rest of my days.

[@muffincatgames]

best imperial ship in-game in my opinion in terms of design. in imperialness it's the cutter.

[@Xenowarrior92]

any1 else noticed that when u break enemy cockpits there is no pilot flying them? O_O

[@tieegg]

You're ridiculous, keep it up!

[@TheLemmingJesus]

Attempt at humor noted.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

That barb towards the Cinematic Antichrist at 2:30 was glorious. Too bad he's being unleashed upon poor sci-fi franchises all over the place... RIP Star Trek and Star Wars...

[@CrayvenCarnage]

I have spent more time in this ship than any other in the game so far.... and I didn't have to grind for it (there was an event where you could buy an Imperial ship regardless of rank). I found turrets for those large hardpoints to be a decent option. Since they are out on those pods they can cover a massive area and can pretty much shoot anything that isn't below you. You can just orbit around an enemy and just watch your turrets slowly chisel them away... well see them on your HUD and it is a strangely satisfying thing to me to take a ship from full to dead without ever looking at them.

[@TheYamiks]

oh my, idk what devs were smoking when they put out that event =}

[@CrayvenCarnage]

Whatever it was they need to smoke more of it.

[@Vixzenn]

7:50 Your new mobile ring tone.

[@TheYamiks]

oooooh my!

[@xXTheWhiteSheepXx]

were yall touching ship tips????

[@juliancain6128]

Well CMDR.....You "know" what they say about small feet?? =) Great videos Yamiks, although my keyboard is starting to suffer from coffee stains exiting my nose on a frequent basis.

[@brothercaptaintechmarine4137]

I enjoy your 5 STAR videos

[@ergogray3143]

Type 7 has the same number of internals and are pretty uniform, but costs 5 million less and no grind required. The Imp Clipper vary in internal size, so if you don't mind the grind and being on your knees, go for it. I'll keep the Type 7.

[@davidduccuvelier]

Did you give up on PlanetSide2 Yamiks???? Plz answer ;-;

[@TheYamiks]

give up.. not yet, but dont expect many video to come out! For this summer I have plans to do Idiots of auraxis 6 & after that there will be the anniversary for the game in november, if i remember right!

[@davidduccuvelier]

TheYamiks Ok :D thanks for the info :D

[@elithradril]

My favourite ship.

[@bubbamofobear1]

You should get Obsidian Ant for the imperial cutter so you will have someone who knows about the benefits of imperialism.

[@mickbohannon1104]

Large pad, veil Shields, seat on the side. Enough I said...

[@JMoore4020]

BASK!!! Are you basking yet?

[@tomriley5790]

Didn't mention one of the main benefits of the Python over it - Pad size, if the clipper could do medium pads everyone would be flying one.

[@JoeyJoJoJoestarJuniorShabadoo]

I came to the Empire for the slaves, I stayed for the pimpmobiles.

[@ecevansevans2566]

Old great one, the other bad thing about the clipper is it can't land on mid size PADS HAHA

[@jaredcherry4049]

I love your videos 😂😂

[@robertbrydon3559]

Python FTW!

[@ldaudelin]

Funniest review I have ever seen!

[@starfireix8207]

Imperial Cutter review! plz! It's the largest dildo ship in the galaxy. :D

[@cyrilmetodej3614]

correct, this ship is good as dildo only, useless in space according to other ships of same class, large landing pad doing piece of shit from that ship

[@NatediMaggio]

I fucking love this guy... id love to shake his hand, After a wet wipe lol..

[@NatediMaggio]

Haha

[@ChickenMiner22]

it says "Clupper" in the description! but as always great video!

[@TheYamiks]

oh fuck.. yet again displaying my ability to spell! =}

[@Eclecticsignal]

Ha ha nice review!

[@doozerlooshbag5022]

I just achieved Baron rank a few days ago and have banked up over 150 million so far. I've had the clipper in mind throughout the entire looooong assed grind ( no simple how-to videos followed, just pure grind) But now that it's at my very fingertips .......I've decided to setup camp on a very comfortable fence and just stay put. I was surprised to see that Yamiks didn't absolutely rip this ship apart as he has usually done to most of the others in the past. So, maybe, this was the green light I've been subconsciously waiting for. If anything, this will just be the intermediatary ship I use on the way up to aquiring the grand prize. The mother f###ing Cutter!

[@TheYamiks]

I went from vulture strait for python and I gotta say : only thing cutter is better at is maneuverability!

[@khmnc]

actually the cutter's maneuverability sucks, it's like flying a really nice looking brick. while it dose have the strongest shields in the game, it's not really a ship you want to fight in. what the cutter is really good for is trading, it has the biggest cargohold in the game. i can usually get in the top 10% of community goals with just a single run.

[@elithradril]

I did the same thing, but I never sold my clipper. It's just too awesome.

[@doozerlooshbag5022]

I'm sitting in my clipper now. Just spent 60 million for a freaking A rated shield. Sunnuva.......

[@dotnet97]

Credible Witness I did the same when I finally was able to get a Clipper. Kind of just ended up being completely unsure if it was worth it, then got it, didn't like it too much, went back to the Python for a bit, recently got it again, and after a little engineering, the Clipper is my absolute favorite, combat ship with a decent jump range, two SRVs and some cargo space wasn't something I expected.

[@licksnick2748]

u forget it looks like someone bent over from the back...

[@a_lethe_ion]

I want an orca.. I'll take a dolphin too but.. that one also looks panty-soilingly nice.. better than those fugly flying bricks lakon shits out.. I mean the diamondbacks look like two ships crashed together so hard they melted together. (the canopy of the asp looks like a weird bulging nappy..) In general the federal ships look like someone forgot how to sand the edges.. like some Lego thingies plopped together. Super fugly.. Similar the federal..[....]ships so yeah.. Ugh i will have to grind creds and rank to fly something looking not incredibly fugly. well unless I want to mine..it's only fitting to fly a brick if i want to mine or spacetruck.

[@davedahl4461]

It reminds me of a Mercedes Benz Semi Truck.

[@arby456]

I wish you could get "second hand" imperial and federation ships. Obviously they're not fresh out the factory so their stats wouldn't be quite as good but would be cool I like this ship but I don't like the Empire.

[@hisgreasiness]

Imperial Clipper looks like it was designed by Apple. Like Apple, there is a better alternative available.

[@nqvy_4546]

Dirty Federal capitalist! The Empire is the future! Enlist today!

[@Paroxsym-OX]

buahahaha!

[@arrynroyce72]

I hate how far forward the cockpit is on this ship. That neaderthal notch commented on is where the cockpit should be. As it is it looks like a rapper's learjet.

[@Rockjaw]

Dammit now I have to defect from the Federation

[@TheYamiks]

ahaa a new convert! Good good, I've done my duty!

[@AmboXB]

You're doing the right thing!

[@PsyMongazoid]

06:42. Lol

[@spaceman022]

clipper usto be better but got quite a nerf : /.still love to fly it tho

[@SloaneLasers]

I made 200 million in this ship just doing passenger missions. I love it.

[@Windrake101]

You forgot to mention the Clipper was Salome's ship of choice...... Which might not be good advertisement, now that I think about it.

[@ostegonation]

I'm just surprised you haven't made a "docking" joke yet... Or have you?

[@Spootnik]

The Clipper is just a space 747
