Well, that IS an important point to consider before stepping out of your suit while sitting in a glass bubble of a cockpit... Noone can ever predict accurately when somehow from somewhere a wild Space Latvian will suddenly pop up. He might have sniffed some dead horses to beat in your closet!

"Gutamayasexual".. Lol Good one. ;D He sure does enjoy phallic hulls... ;)

[@jasonboughen9542]

You absolutely nailed it. I’ve been saying this since the phantom was released. There are enough optional internals to fit literally anything you need for long exploration. Fuel scoop Guardian FSD Booster Double SRV bay (because losing one happens) Cargo bay (32 tons) Size 3D repair limpet controller Size 3D collector limpet controller (just in case / or for mat gathering) Fully engineered 2A AFMU Planetary probe scanner Mine hits 64LY and still boosts to over 520m/s (who needs a fighter bay with those speeds?) It’s an asp explorer on steroids. My favourite ship in the game And yes - I still have 2 lightweight beams on board (just in case I need to shoot something) guardian structure? It’s about time someone made a video to show off this beauty. And props for having Scott Manley on the vid. O7 commander.

[@seamusic6627]

@Alexander Pallett let me know too, I bought one today haha

[@peterfirbank2137]

@Alexander Pallett superiority in jump range only. The Phantom exceeds in literally every other field, the Asp can jump and jump and jump but at the end of the day you’ll have to end up somewhere, in the Phantom you can never end up anywhere, and have an amazing, astonishing time exploring the deep cold black beauty of space

[@jasonboughen9542]

@Alexander Pallett not true. The phantom beats the asp in jump range when completely stripped down. The benefit to the phantom is the speed and extra internal slot that gives you more carry options. I get 72ly on my phantom with 2 srv,s and boosts 520. My equally engineered asp gets 70ly but only boosts 470. Do a little more research, you’ll find the phantom beats out the asp. But the asp is definitely a close second. And you can’t beat the view of the asp.

[@TechnoMinarchist]

It's a shame it lacks a fighter hanger as they're a must imo for any long term exploration to stave off boredom.

[@Cooldude-ko7ps]

All I have the ability to say is thank you, you have done what so many people have failed to do and that is giving life to the ships in which you speak about. You and you alone have shown us the beauty, the complexity and everything we have wanted to see / hear and know about them. With the way you speak about these ships it gives us pilots a whole new respect for each and every one of them and for that I say thank you.

[@ThePilot_]

Thank you...but I got my inspiration from other people who put up videos. Just like I did. And I hope that my videos inspire someone to make their own cool thing. But I do appreciate your extremely kind words.

[@SaruwatariMasahiro]

They took the coffee maker??????!!

[@SaruwatariMasahiro]

I just bought a phantom, first I need to engineer that fsd and unlock that guardian fsd booster I’ve been hearing about. Now if only I could get someone to engineer me a coffee maker, can’t leave the bubble without one.

[@monkadelic13]

Phantom uses enemas instead. You can plug in directly during Hyperspace

[@CptMooney]

Id gladly pay with 0,1ly's of range for a decent coffee after not having one in weeks... The most glaring design flaw of this ship. Its an FD tho, so its gotta have one.

[@HeadHunterSix]

If there's no coffee maker, what's the point in flying it?

[@davesmith9844]

...we needed the extra 0.00000001 Ly jump range!

[@JennerNuwen32]

[@x...CrankyOldMan...x]

X CrankyOldMan I get about 62 lys with an fsd booster and repair and surface load out

[@Majima_Nowhere]

My phantom has taken me all the way to Beagle Point for DW2. The while time, I've never gotten tired of the ship. It's the perfect exploration ship. Less jump range than the Conda, yes, but twice as maneuverable in supercruise. The front of the ship hanging over the cockpit, constantly reminding you what you're flying.

[@vincentkrommenhoek7431]

Me too. Went to Beagle and back. Never liked the Conda for exploration... Never liked any large ship btw. My ASP is gathering dust now... The Phantom is my explorer, period

[@kevinkadventures]

I took mine out on the dw2 trip. I was out there forever I had to come back I was going crazy doing only one job for so long

[@sea_kerman]

Just finished my Sag. A* run in Spooky Snek, my exploration Phantom. I took a slightly different outfitting philosophy, and ended up engineering it fully. I thought to myself, "I know I can make this thing go 70 LY per jump, but will it be fun to fly if I do that?" I decided the answer to that was no. Instead, Spooky Snek jumps 60 LY, and can permaboost at 580 m/s, as well as having pretty beefy impact shields.

[@TeamLegacyFTW]

What's a sag a run?

[@elysian9176]

Lou Sensei a Sag. A run is a trip to the center of the galaxy, offhand I don’t remember the distance but it’s about 30,000 LY from the bubble. It takes days to get that far. But seeing that distorted starscape and knowing I was so far from truly inhabited space was definitely worth it.

[@valorin5762]

I went to Beagle point and back in my trusty Phantom, and while doing so criss crossed the Galaxy a bit looking for nice things. I flew an AspX before that, but the Phantom has that awesome range while it still carries everything I want to take with me. There's no need to compromise with this ship. It's truly outstanding!

[@ElfInflicted]

My wife walks by and I point out the awesome visuals on the screen, telling her what it is. She says, "Oh, that's really cool, but it looks like an asshole. An asshole made of smoke. I'm sorry, but it does!" So glad I married her.

[@ElfInflicted]

@@willdavis3802 OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH SNAP

[@sea_kerman]

The Phantom also makes for a respectable core mining ship. Some people, (me included) think the Python is a bit slow for core mining, and don't have the patience to attempt to fill it's hold. With the Phantom, you have a fast, agile ship, which still holds a respectable amount, yet doesn't take too long to fill. Also the cockpit view is great for scanning the ring.

[@cashewgaming1077]

I know this is a bit of an old video but i got to say i keep coming back to this video because when you bring on Scott (6:01) with the visuals and how you make it sound like he is on a rougher sounding phone call it has got to be my favorite piece of filmmaking I've seen on this platform.

This could honestly work as an advertisement for Elite Dangerous just on its own. Just play this at a movie theater as a preview and take out any references to it being a "game," and then at the end flash up the Elite logo. I think that would blow some minds.

[@adrianassault]

As I said in the In-game chat, this video, is what made me go for my Out-of-bubble Long-Range Exploration Phantom, The Baal Shamin. I keep heading for Colonia on the Highway, but end up taking in the sights everywhere else. This is indeed that good a ship!

A funny thing. I just started Elite dangerous about a week ago and thanks to the wonderful videos from the community I was able to quickly make some good money in this game from exploration and mining. Your videos have been a wonderful sales pitch for deciding which ship should I buy and honestly I would’ve never known about some of the great ships I’ve flown around in. So thanks these videos have been a joy to watch.

1:28 what he actually meant to say is that you should be flying it because its the millenium falcon in elite dangerous, but that would be too mainstream.

[@Matthiasflint]

This, this is the video I use to get people into Elite. Having Scott Manley along in the multicrew position makes this perfect.

[@generalcodsworth4417]

I love how the "downsides" of the phantom all boil down to it being mislabeled as a multipurpose ship rather than an explorer only. If it were properly labeled, then there'd be no downside to lower armor or fewer hardpoints. If anything, there'd be comments on it having too many hardpoints

Took my Phantom on the DW2 trip, and it was a supremely comfortable ride. Those 260LY+ jumps didn't hurt!

[@lenaistalar8032]

Used the Phantom for my Papa Palin Trip. Did half of the trip with the DBX of my pal who nearly had a breakdown after reaching 5k. That was a difference like night and day. The Phantom took me out and back to the bubble in little more time than it took him to get one way. And I just kept going for 2k more because I saw some interesting nebulae. The phantom was also the ship that got me my name on the starmap. I love that thing to bits.

[@WhiteWulfe]

You really hit it on the head with the remark about how you just want to go out, and let the ship breathe... ...Doubly so with how little one wants to go back once you've gone out in the Krait Phantom. Best of all it's still rather agile, so oh boy, it's a fun one to pilot!

[@Djrealfake]

[@5Davideo]

The Krait Phantom's also great at just popping around the Bubble. Even with a load, it's still got great jump range, meaning you can get to wherever you want to go with fewer jumps, and the better supercruise maneuverability and ability to land at medium pads beats the Anaconda at that role. One thing I've found it particularly suited for is HSS hunting for engineering materials, as it can quickly jump to relevant systems, fly to the HSSs of choice, deploy collector limpets, and efficiently loop around after the Frontier Flop (quitting and reloading) to use the same HSS multiple times.

[@athaphian]

[@xantam23]

I thought about getting an ASP Explorer, but now I go for the Phantom. I really like your videos, keep up the good work.

[@markhackett2302]

The AspX can't really afford both two AFMUs AND the repair limpet. The Phantom has the space for that AND the guardian FSD booster, making it able to jump almost as far as the DBX with its biggest FSD booster (class 3, the two class 4s need the SRV hanger and a class 4 fuel scoop). If you don't have guardian FSD boosters, then it's still able to jump a LITTLE further than the AspX and has repair limpets AND two free slots, it just jumps about 3LY shorter than the DBX whilst filling the fuel tank nearly twice as fast.

[@tenshin111]

I own both and still prefer AspX because of better visibility from the cockpit. Yes, Phantom has more internal space but you don't need that much space in exploration ship, just a Fuel Scoop, Guardian FSD booster, small shiedl and a small planetary hangar. I also carry one AFMU in my ASP which I never had to use in my long travels. Never bothered with hull repair limpets. I don't carry heatsinks either.

[@markhackett2302]

@@tenshin111 Well without the limpets you free up two slots (the limpet AND one cargo rack), and as long as you repair before it breaks, you don't need a repair limpet anyway. But the Phantom DOES have a good bit more flexibility in it for adding things. AspX, like the DBX, can only fit a class 3 FSD booster unless it either drops the SRVs to one or drops the fuel scoop to a class 3, neither of which you want in a long range explorer. No such limit on the Phantom, a feature that was a huge reason to get the Anaconda, even though you only ACTUALLY needed one more slot, so that ship was really rather TOO big and unwieldy. The phantom fills a gap definitely there.

[@BatarianBob]

The AspX's chief advantage was the price point. It was the best value for your money when money was hard to come by. Now the void opal rush has made everyone crazy rich, the AspX has gotten a little obsolete.

Another fab video, thanks for putting it together. Took a Krait to Beagle Point and Salome's Reach on Distant Worlds 2 with my Xbox commander. The eerie feeling of sitting in the misty dark on the far side of the most distant world in the Elite galaxy was like nothing else I've experienced in the game. I agree with Scott that, wing antenna aside, this doesn't feel much like the 1984 Krait, and it's less photogenic than the Krait Mk II, but what an exploration ship. Thought I'd never replace my Asp in that role, but taking all the modules from the older ship and fitting them on the Phantom, and having almost the same range with plenty of room for more cargo and firepower was a revelation. I hope FDev continue to revamp ships from the original game in a similar way (Boa anyone?). Looking forward to your next installment.

So glad I found this series. Had some time off ED have dipped my toe in and heading back out in to the black as soon as I can reacquire a hotas. I tend to struggle articulating the pleasure of the game beyond the meat & potatoes of the trading/mining/exploration etc. loop, but this right here, this is it. Going to working on fed rank for a Sol permit when I'm back in, then get exploring. Great videos dude!

My co-pilot likes to curl up in my lap, so I can't fly naked. She falls asleep on the job all the time, but she takes payments in cans of tuna so I put up with her.

Been considering a Krait Phantom for some time as an upgrade from my Asp Ex. This seals it. Thanks. Great video.
