@@ThePilot_ Well you nailed it. Those sections are always highlights of your video with the superb editing and great music selection. This one, the FDL, and the Type-10 are probably my favorite videos because of it. (Also, I'm a little biased towards the Adder as it was my first ship purchase up from the Sidewinder. I wish I had more reasons to fly it, but watching this I think I found something to use it for...)

[@folcotook3049]

Ah, the Adder. My first upgrade from my Sidewinder. Did a lot of hauling in that ship. You're not wrong about all the cons of the ship. And I don't care. I loved it anyway. :)

[@Solnoric]

Same - I did a little homework and opted for the adder over the hauler. Didn't regret a thing. It did a lot for next to no money. When I made the pilgrimage to colonia on an impulse, my plan was to buy an adder after I got there as my "odd jobs and mining" ship so I could leave my DBX as it was. I didn't count on making more than enough credits off exploration to fully kit out a phantom(after the DBX trade in) and buy a keelback but I really was considering the adder.

My first upgrade from the Sidewinder aswell. I was new to the game and didn't know what I was doing so I used the Adder to mine 3.1m for the keelback. Needless to say I only had 16 cargo space and had to go back and forth more than actually mining

New ships would get me back into the game, I got the federal gunship I wanted and after getting it kitted out I haven’t been on since, I’d love a good all around medium or large size ship that has a nice look to it, honestly, for some strange reason I want the Firefly ship from the series, I think that would be a fun thing to go around in, it would be a trade/smuggling ship I’d imagine.

The Adder is my endgame ship for the simple reason that, out of all the ships I own, this is the only one that I never get tired of flying. It's definitely not the best ship in the game. Not by a long shot. But it's got character in abundance and a sort of odd, unique charm to it, and I just feel... well, comfortable in it. That's enough for me.

[@shingshongshamalama]

I’m in the Adder cult. This little ship has more personality than the big three combined. Great for signal sources thingy’s. You can outfit it to do most anything. Brilliant for an experienced Cmdr to have fun in.

[@facenoise465]

The Adder was my first mining ship and she stays in my port for another reason: she represented the high risk adrenaline-pumping shieldless Low Temperature Diamond runs. It was fun while it lasted. Without the Adder, I wouldn't have gotten the Asp Explorer, Python or Anaconda in such a quick time.

[@KlingonCaptain]

It's not my favorite ship, I'm a Faulcon DeLacy kind of guy, but I still love the Adder. It's a great retro-futuristic design, and it reminds me of something straight out of "Red Dwarf" or from the cover of a british a pulp novel. I have one I painted bright green and named the Star Bug. I take it out whenever I feel like playing as a Jolly Chap. As someone from North America, it's fun to go Old World every once in a while. 😎

[@boiledelephant]

THAT'S IT. I knew it reminded me of something...it's the Starbug. Ugh.

[@g1nk0]

Aesthetically, it's my favorite ship. It reminds me of a cartoon spaceship, in the best ways. It's got that softer look, but it's still very clearly a functional spacecraft. I love every bit of it. If I lived in the Elite Dangerous universe, even if I could afford the Python, the Corvette, I'd buy this.

The Adder is such a good entry level ship, it almost feels like a newbie-trap to be able to get anything else. It has so much god damn value packed into that ugly ass rubber package, that any new player is missing one of the best investments they'll make in their ED career if they want to pass it up for something else. That whole experience of growing to love the value you're getting and then cashing out for the thing you really want, feels different in ED too, more real than in most games.

[@joaogomes9405]

The Adder is the early money maker. Wanna do early mining? Adder's got you. Want to get started on some roads to riches? Find a good FSD and the Adder will do it well. The jump range and good cargo capacity makes it a good hauler. It's the first ship with multi-crew you can get, and the cheapest one too. With a medium hardpoint and two smalls, it has firepower on par with the imperial eagle, even if the manoeuvrability and speed don't match. The shield and hull takes care of that though, and you can get some early bounty work done with it as well. There's a lot to love on the adder, and I'll never not love it because it was the first ship to actually make me some money.

[@CaptPatrick01]

The Adder looks like it was designed in the 90s with how bubbly it is...

[@soddof7972]

[@markhackett2302]

The calls for combined limpets is legitimately warranted when it comes to things like fuel and repair, since they are a duality that 100% should be wanted both together: if you're tooling up to go play International Rescue in a smaller Thunderbird 2, you don't want to drop at a distress signal and find you can't help. Some I believe only want to have collector and hatchbreaker limpets combined so that they can put more HRPs or whatever in, and there is a legitimate case NOT to allow that, for balance reasons. Separate controllers also mean that you won't take on the research or probe limpets, unless you are going out to nowhere, because you don't need then 99.9999% of the time and you DO need the slot it takes up 99.9% of the time. Combine certain functions and up the size, make it so that you select by fire group and trigger which one you will fire. Only sell those combinations that make sense. That helps keep balance. But being able to get a fuel AND repair controller will help everyone who wants to drop in the distress signal if they find one without having to throw away use elsewhere.

[@Tyrranis]

Funny thing is, the Adder was one of the first ships I ever flew in E:D. It's the one I used when I first left the n00b-zone, and I primarily used it for courier missions as mentioned in the video. I eventually traded it in for a Dolphin so that I could do passenger missions.

[@slenderman8]

In an apparent fit of cosmic comedy, this is the first video I’ve watched on Elite since starting the game a couple days ago and buying this as my first ship.

[@oliverhilton6086]

If the Hauler is the dodgy minivan of ships, then the Adder is that same minivan but old mate Gazza down the street put a spoiler on his, the mad lad.

[@meoka2368]

Fuel Rat checking in. The Adder actually works well for a Rat ship. With a possible 50 Ly jump range, 8t fuel tank, and enough internals to equip the basics, it's great for bombing around in the bubble. I personally like the style of it. The only thing I really DON'T like is the off center chair. It's the same reason I don't fly Cutter or Python as well.

[@entityunknown1798]

I saw this vid when I was bored on the train, I was going to click on it but then realised “no these videos don’t deserve to be watched on a phone” so here I am, watching the vid for the 3rd time on my HD TV as these vids definitely deserve to be appreciated

[@VincentVegas]

Great video as always, Pilot! One thing baffles me about the lore of Elite, it's beyond my comprehension and totally breaks my immersion. How in this universe can the humanity in Elite stick to the same Ships for hundreds of years without revisions, while in the real world, we seem to be unable to live without at least one new iPhone every year.... *thinking*

[@ThePilot_]

I asked the same thing. They kind of hand wave it away in the lore by saying that humanity has a tendency to go through "waves of advancement". And that's true. We do. But I can't really see a scenario where we're happily flying the same exact ship for a few hundred years, either.

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

Two good arguments for it - look at how long wooden sailing ships tended to stay in service because they were such investment to make they often lasted centuries, same thing with steam engines and water wheels, lots of effort to make and they work well so you don't replace them in a hurry, it takes a massive step change in technology making them obsolete. - And then just look at Landrovers they are all very damn similar to look at over decades, because it works so well. Subtle design modernisations but ultimately all speaking the same design language, much the same can be said for many utilitarian vehicles - Which is what the Adder is really, despite the fact I think of it as an imperial eagle with more features! Its stupid fast (if you do the engineering), has some nice weapon options for its scale, damn solid jump range - about the only justifiable complaint is the cockpit field of view as it is cheap so looking a bit cheap is to be expected!

[@boiledelephant]

@@foldionepapyrus3441 This is a good speculative point. Maybe they do go through revisions, like Astras and Focuses and Octavias. Same basic vehicle, upgraded cosmetics, materials, etc. I mean, there are no 400-year-old ships for us to compare against, so maybe they're all just stealth upgraded constantly in the rebuy cycles, like an always-online game receiving regular patches.

[@carteljameson8395]

Back in 2015, the Adder made Elite Dangerous FEEL like the original elite. It made me sit down and review which ship to get, the hauler or adder. and on papper the adder was that better purchase. It could mine, haul, shoot things (just about), all the things I wanted to do in the sidewinder, but couldn't. But coming back to it with Enhanced performance engines, engineered, to grade5 740ms boost. Heat vent on the class 2 laser, (still got to get those pack-hound-missiles).

Fun fact: when I first started the game in its second year I had no idea what I was doing (was one hell of a game though, having played nothing like it before). The first big thing I did in game was taking a nearly stock Adder to the lagoon nebula, which is roughly 3000 light years from home if memory serves. Not much by current standards, but I had 17 light years of jump range and a mediocre fuel scoop. I had to self destruct the first time because I ran out of fuel in the belt of dwarf stars just outside the bubble (back then there were no aids to avoid running out of fuel, and the fuel rats didn't exist). Good times. It was that trip that got me hooked on the game.

Plus it'll always have a place in my heart as the workhorse from my early days in game (before a spot of core mining could enable you to skip whole tiers of ships). You're right, any pilot's first multi-crew ship should be the Cobra. Respect to the Adder fans out there though - every ship has its supporters, even the quirky ones! (...well, apart from the Asp Scout surely?).

Man, this was such a feel good vid. Got a new subscriber haha

I love the Adder because it's basically just a Ford Transit in space. It's a multi-purpose van that can help you move house or make a scene down on the track. I'll always love the Adder, even if it is crap.

I gotta say this ship has a special place in my heart. It got me into deep core mining and brought me into the much larger vessels. I don't fly it much otherwise, but once I got Elite... It's getting some Pack Hounds. Hehehe

I've been hooked since I saw your first review earlier! You're like an in universe Top Gear presenter. Your commentaries rock

[@StrikeNoir105E]

As a week-old newbie, I'm currently using the Adder as a miner, and while I don't love the ship, it certainly does the job well enough.

[@EmpathMichael]

Love your videos man. Just started playing today.

[@antwan1357]

The Adder technically is the the most powerful ( small ) ship. Due to the extra seat powerboost . Good luck finding a second player though better off with the imperial courier. Try it with Enhanced Thrusters.

It's like the space ship version of that three wheeled blue car that Mr. Bean keeps bullying.

[@lukasburger2047]

Little adder! :D Best ship! Wrrrrrrrr! After the sidewinder I got adder and used it to smuggle.

[@CarrickLightstar]

This is the ship that gets you to the next ship. I have a fondness for this ship in the same way I have a fondness for my first car. My time with the adder will be well remembered.

The flight control at that station must be like "oh it's that stupid adder pilot. They better not hit a commander again."
