Hey everyone, just wanted to say thank you so much for watching, and let me know down below what ship you'd like to see next. (Sidewinder is next week. I mean, after that.) If you like what you saw, consider hitting the Subscribe button, and if you already have, then thank you again, and I’ll see you next time.

I think, given they won't change the height of the thing to make it fit a medium pad, if they can add two class 2 hardpoints this becomes a miner. There's a gap though for medium pad traders. We have types 6, 7 and 9....

For a ship that is 25% larger than the Python in volume, keep in mind that you only get a 5% increase in cargo, and that the Python has gargantuan core internals.

Its pitch and yaw outmatches any large ship, makes getting out of interdiction easy, the overheating is a character quirk I would miss (although it never really overheats ). Wonderfully quick supercruise and responses. I named mine " Hand Over Fist" for the money it makes me. This ship epitomizes space trucking....because it makes you "feel" like you are piloting. Is it the best ? No....but damn I love its sad character. Your videos are finely done sir, I thank you for the work you do. Peace all...til Thargoids show.

My T-7 (Archibald Haddock) was used to smuggle weapons during the Lugh Liberation Conflict. A job it some how did surprisingly good at. Presumably because the blockade didn't think a T-7 would be seriously used to smuggle weapons. Afterwards the Archibald Haddock was reconfigured for Surface and/or Orbital Salvage and Recovery. With a bit of engineering a Jump range of a fraction over 45ly with shields, and an SRV bay is achieveable. It might just be the ship best suited for spending hours/days planet side ferreting around. Putting the largest 'A-Rated' Power Plant in helps with heat management. Don't get me wrong, it still warms up during the charge phase of the FSD, but it's no longer a Flying Oven.

When you switch over to the Type-9 Heavy for a few days the 7 feels like like a toy. Put the largest rack in every slot and you've got nearly 800 units of cargo space. You might want to leave room for a docking computer, but it will still scrape the paint nearly every time it goes through a slot. Better to learn how to do it yourself and let the computer take over AFTER your in the bay so you can spend the time plotting the return trip before the ship's even touched down. If your worried about combat.. don't be. Smart pirates are more interested in cargo than carnage and the irony of hauling close to double what any other ship could possibly hold is that even if you dumped 100 units you'd only be slicing about one seventh off your profit margin. You've got more coin then they have pocket, and with a bit of shrewd Tyrion Lanister style negotiating you might be able to convert a fellow commander from would be pirate into a temporary escort.

This is one of my favorite videos, mostly due to the longer intro music, and the radio static in the background. I don’t fly my T-7 anymore, because my other ships are far superior. “Ambergris” I called her; not particularly pretty, but definitely valuable. Delivering food cartridges and algae to military bases, and then returning with a hold full of bio waste was easy money. Also, hopping back and forth in the same system is a great way to avoid interdiction.

My T-7, The Snowman, runs cool and slick. I realised that the secret to the heat management was to decide what you need to run and pick a plant of the right size. I run her unarmed so I only need a 3A plant. My only complaint is the lack of paint jobs. I wanted something frosty themed but no luck. Have to make do with the bobblehead (called Fred) in cockpit. Now all I need is a wingman in a FDL or Mamba with a black paint job to run interference.

My Type-7 is named Beagle 3, after HMS Beagle and the British Mars Lander, Beagle 2. If I get tired of all the politics surrounding the bubble, I fully intend to fly it all the way out to Colonia and help them expand further out there. With a bit of engineering the jump range is fairly respectable. It's not a good ship, but as a trader it's not a bad ship either. And I enjoy flying it. There's something therapeutic about drifting a giant fully laden space brick towards a space station with flight assist off, and setting it down smoothly even if it requires some wrestling on the controls

A simple way to make the Type 7 more viable would be to add more internal slots (there is space for more - preferably sizes 5, 4 and 3 for 56 more tons of cargo, and maybe change 2 of those S6s into one S7), and change one of the hardpoints into a medium one. Also increase the heat capacity a bit.

I was using Cobra MK3 before that ship. I've used Type-7 for just 1 week, then I've purchased Python. Reason of changing Type-7 was that ship needs Large Pads for landing. My playing role was trader, delivery guy. Then I need to land on station's which has mid pads. I really enjoyed Python. Python was really good option for anything! yeah anything.

If there's one thing I know about the Commanders in Elite Dangerous, it's that telling them a ship is only suitable for a certain purpose, is not bad news - it's a challenge. Personally, I used the Type 7 only for as short a period of time as I could - trading slaves for $$$ until I could afford the Python. I keep most of the ships I buy, but I couldn't bring myself to keep the Type 7.

It will never be remembered as a great ship, that's true... But like most CMDRs (according to the comments), it holds a special place in my heart. My first rescue missions, making my first somewhat efficiently earned credits - took me a long way, that hulking piece of bad engineering. I love it.

I literally bought this ship for rescue missions. I'm super glad to see that I got the right ship (although I've definitely run out of business in that profession right now).

I bought this ship today. That was never the plan. The plan was to get the python to replace my trusty type 6 that I've affectionately named "federal express" for trading duties. It's big, it's slow, it bumps and scrapes anything it goes near. But I love it. Because it's big enough to make profitable routes very lucrative. I've made back half my investment of it in just a few short trips.

I really like this ship. I prefer to park without auto dock, so that's a challenge at times but overall, overheating and interdiction really aren't too difficult to avoid. I prefer the python, sure, but when you're moving up in the trade world, this is a big step in the direction of profits.

Best Lakon ship by far, and after screwing around with everything else from every other ship company, the only one I didn't sell and the only I use. Hard working ship for a hard working man. Love being an space trucker.

The Type-7 was the backbone of my trading career until I got a Type-9. I called mine The Coelacanth, because that's all I could see when looking at its silhouette.

Well done video; however, putting theatrical value aside, you failed to mention what I think is the most important aspect of the Type 7. You can make mountains of credits with it fast moving cargo which enables you almost immediately move up to something better. The Type 7 is a stepping stone that you don’t have to step on very long. I will probably keep mine just in case I ever need a quick financial infusion in the future.

Upgrading the power plant does at least make it manage heat slightly better. Still hot as hell, but at least you aren’t frying your internals anymore.

I had a love hate with the Type 7...I hated its over heat, I hated how slow it was; I hated bumping the top part of it into an asteroid when trying to move through it. On the other hand it got me where I needed to go. It was like flying a brick with thrusters that barely move, but it helped me trade when I wanted it, and took people where it needed. I felt sad when I traded it away; but I feel like it wanted me to move on as it knew it did its job. The Type 7 what a ship.

Congrats on another great vid! Was legitimately thinking about grabbing one of these for rescue missions. Glad to see it pretty much lives up to what people have been telling me about it!
