Why do I always go to Hutton when people say there's a free Anaconda there? Now I have 18 Anacondas! I don't need anymore!

[@garveywilliams9985]

Is Hutton locked behind a permit?

[@onefastsled]

Garvey Williams nope, its in Alpha Centuri, and 0.28 LY from jumpin

[@102728]

It's slightly less, but still, 0.22 Ly, or well over 6 million Ls, in supercruise, takes about an hour and a half. The conda is worth it though

"Elite is not designed in a rewarding way, so take all the shortcuts that you can..." Thank you, Yamiks, and well said. Elite is AMAZING, but a balanced and rewarding "game" it is not. The rewards come from the community and the adventures we create for ourselves. Entertaining content as always, CMDR o7

[@Cujo159]

Wholeheartedly agree.

[@hornbenjamin]

This is why Frontier should open up the game to player-created content, events, limited-time missions, etc. It's the soul of the game that is sadly missing from the base content. DLC made by the fanbase could be really great, seeing the massive amount of creativity in the community.

Man, I remember when it took me 3 months to get a Cobra, and almost a year for an Asp. Back when bounties were like 1,000 credits.

[@LordRenegrade]

wat? just a thousand? geez.. I thought bounty hunting was poorly paying NOW.

[@SirKaldar]

There used to be these wonderful "Freelance Employment Officer", missions back then. They were rare and really hard to find, but they wanted you to find 1-4 slaves and smuggle them back to your starting point. They payed out hundreds of thousands for each mission and usually gave you 12+ hours to complete them. I think the missions turned up in Fed Corporate systems, and the slaves could be found in very small numbers on pirate platforms (the ones with the red skull holograms), in anarchy systems. I stumbled on them randomly on my first day playing and converted my Pre-Order Eagle into a smuggling ship. I had a Cobra 3 set up as a smuggler, all A and D rated a few hours later. Those missions got taken out a long time ago, removed with the first smuggling buff, when short range "take this cargo next door", type smuggling missions became super common and payed decently.

Cobra - it does not excel at anything, but gives early game opportunity to try any activity you want 4. Chieftain - the best ship to learn combat. Relatively cheap, agile, decent firepower.

Don't forget the boost-ram mamba!! It turns a little funny, but man can you make that thing quick. Throw a class 4 beam or MC on top to instantly knock out shields, engineered shield boosters, bi-weave, dirty tune and drag drives makes it a beast you can just ram people to death with.

For exploration, the Diamondback Explorer and Krait Phantom are worth mentioning (and for the very early game, the Hauler).

Thank you again for that tip about the free anaconda. I was able to pick it up from Hutton in my sidewinder, so I didn't have to worry about transfer fees and everything. After about 5 minutes of grinding for engineering mats, I was finally able to have a ship that could jump just shy of 70 ly. A massive improvement over that crappy 5.5 ly jump the sidewinder has. Now I can finally go to Colonia without taking 5000 jumps. A massive Thank You again Yamiks!

Yeah that free Anaconda sure is useful. Unfortunately when i started out i didn't know about it and wasted a lot of time and money getting it the normal way. However i recently got a friend to start playing Elite and told him about the free Anaconda that was waiting for him. He promptly made the trip to Hutton Orbital and was of course able to pick it up.

My top 5 from: Diamondback Explorer - under 2 mil and you can start making a ton from exploring, highest non engineered jump range in the game. Asp Explorer - 6.6 mil, great well rounded (more like pentagon) ship, was my first mining ship. Alliance Chieftain - 19 mil, awesome combat ship. Python - 57 mil, my favorite ship, it can do anything except jump far. Anaconda - 147 mil, it can do anything except land in small stations, most versatile ship in the game.

[@ronaldtermond2530]

So sweet, I own the lower 4 of this top 5 ships and in fact; only those. You made me think Im a pro-gamer already after playing this game like a month and a half. (probably thanks to all the helpfull vids from You, Hawkes and DTEA) What confuses me though, is I remember a vid from you where you said the cobra is a piece of poo (at least for combat) which is true because as a muliti-role ship, it is out-maneuvered by any combat-specialist ship. For instance, while bounty-hunting NPCs, the Anaconda would consequently show me its front end (woopsie) no matter how I try to out-turn it, while a Fer de Lance was super easy always showing its top- or bottom-side while I try to stay behind it. With just grade 2 engineering on the cobra's thrusters. Anyway, thank you for another amusing and informative vid! Without these I would probably already have been looking at refund-options.....

[@HotaruTomoe]

Anaconda is actually quite versatile ship. Works in mining, core mining, exploration, PVE combat, trading etc. It doesn't shine on any roles but it does them well enough.

[@nicholasvinen]

I love how the two top large hardpoints are right in front of the cockpit. It looks really cool if you put laser turrets there. Not very practical but cool.

1. sneaky sidewinder, optimized for extreme *SNEAK*, and if it gets destroyed no big deal 2. Diamondback explorer, optimized (and engineered) for long distance jumps and fuel management, this is my travel ship, can jump from Robigo mines to the other end of the human bubble in less than 20 jumps (so far, I have yet to fully complete the build). Used for personal travel, and the benefit over the conda is being able to land anywhere. 3. scavenger ship, used for investigating signals, collecting debris, and a bit of fuel transfer because why not. I personally use my old trusty Cobra Mk. III for this. 4. Mining ship, important for collecting raw materials. I use a python because big cargo space + fast and agile + can land anywhere. 5. Hunter ship, equipped with wake scanner to get important data fragments. I use a FDL for this.

Krait phantom/Anaconda, great exploration ships, also good for getting to colonia quickly. 4. Krait mark II, pretty much does anything you want it to do 5. Federal gunship, with seven overcharged multicannons :)

My top ships: 1. Corvette - PVE 2. Python - EVERYTHING, prolly spend more time in this than any other 3. Krait Phantom - Exploration 4. Type 9 - Cargo / mining 5. Vulture - This was the ship that got me hooked on this game I was so looking forward to chieftain, got one, engineered it to max, etc, but I just couldn't get over how "drifty" it is to fly... I spent most of my time in PVE looking at my own trail, waiting for the ship to actually start moving me in wanted direction.

[@dsgetawayplan]

Haha you've basically listed my shipyard, with just a cobra instead of the vulture for the same reasons as you 😃

[@msaracevic]

@@dsgetawayplan I also literally just have those 5 ships. I actually bought Orca yesterday to try passangers, since I was too lazy to reoutfit Python all the time. It has nice sublight speed and bigger tank, but I am most likely going to sell it back and just buy second Python, since guess what, Python is better at it :D . It is amazing ship, the only reason I take Corvette into PVE is higher shields and staying power. But otherwise, Python is the king

[@Gonueve]

5- Sidewinder ( to me its the funniest thing to fly ) 4- Type-10 ( need something to farm? ) 3- Corvette ( Old Spyce Terry Crews commercial POOOWEEEEERR ) 2- Vulture ( Another funny thing to fly and can combat aswell ) 1- Phantom ( chill´n netflix ) special mention to Mamba ( if u can not deal with someone, run away. )

[@jchoneandonly]

I use the phantom for a taxi. It's fast and jumps good

[@Sn33t]

Witch krait is mentioned? Dont see if its a mkII or Phantom?

[@klausgartenstiel4586]

looking at the thumbnail, i said it. "that one!"

[@simenvh2353]

i want ALL THE GUTAMAYA ONES. litterally just because they look cool

[@FredRated1967]

I always love vids from my favorite salty Latvian.

[@tifawood7057]

So witch one would you recommend type 9 or the cutter for cargo mission

[@TheYamiks]

cutter

[@sc0or]

Conda, Cutter, Phantom, FDL, Python. Sometimes, DBE for mining one core, sometimes Dolphin for an exploration with a view, once ASP because of a point defense on a top, once DBS because it’s siiiiiilent.

[@SGVB22]

how do you guys get these external camera shots?

[@SullySadface]

I found out when flying my Vulture, you can just disable your cockpit and save everyone else the time

[@spawnminos1991]

@theyamiks hello,im on a vulture rn bounty hunting,would it be best to upgrade to the chieftain later?

[@PreceptorGrant]

It's a solid choice. I've gone with a Fer De Lance instead, that works pretty damn well too.

[@spawnminos1991]

I got it yesterday...my god the firepower of this thing is amazing

[@Immashift]

I'm currently having fun with the Gunship atm. All the dakka is fun to watch. Also fighter bay, which means I can do my turny turny strafey runs on just about anything, while AI pilots the GS and dakka's the living hell out of everything. It's honestly hilarious poking something like an NPC Anaconda in a Hazres, flipping my ass over, and boosting back to the gunship, then watching it bulletstorm its way through the target while I cartwheel around taking potshots and dodging everything holding its attention.

[@ivanputignef2418]

After the latest update, the Hutton Orbital reward has changed (or perhaps was just a limited run to celebrate Odissey?). Thing is, I went there to get an Anaconda, and instead I was given an Imperial Cutter, and I don't have the Imperial Rank! Guess what? I won't go there again (takes too long) and I'm perfectly happy with my Cutter and my Type 9 as the biggest ships in my fleet.

[@ryuu4382]

i tryed geting the free conda, but it did not work, how do i make it work?

[@frostyvr9805]

I like the way the cobra mk3 looks though…

[@lkayl]

I bought the game 6 days ago, played a little bit while not knowing what to do, cleared my save after 3 days. Now after 37 total hours (according to steam) including the deleted save, i bought my first Anaconda

[@GeneralThargor]

I spent two weeks grinding the federal ranks and changed my mind and got the anaconda instead, first proper missions hauling 300 units of cargo and i got pulled out of hyperspace for the first time and killed. didn't even have any weapons on it and all stock equipment.

[@onefastsled]

Pulled outa Hyper???? What the hell you moving? UAs??????

[@GeneralThargor]

@@onefastsled gold and palladium. So how can I learn to fight with the anaconda?

[@onefastsled]

General Disaster learn combat with mediums so you avoid the “large ship” tendency to over rely on large ships inherent tankyness, then learn FA off for faster turn speeds, then realize Turrets can fire independently of your control and actually fire in directions your unable to even see, turrets can actually fire at targets behind you, meaning only your main 3-4 guns shouldn’t be turreted,

[@GeneralThargor]

@@onefastsled thanks for that, I was drawing similar conclusions, but I'm all out of money again, oh well, back to the cobra MK3 and learn to fight I suppose.

[@onefastsled]

General Disaster I’d go with Vulture, or a FDL, Krait, or Chieftain for learning combat. Cobra 3 is a worse Vulture to begin with, and I said mediums, I meant mediums, small ships are DRASTICALLY more maneuverable then mediums, and can run laps around larges,

[@Debb4h]

Have everyship and module in my 1st account. Started second 2 months ago. I have a dbx and a python on 2nd one. And i dont need any other ship for any reason.

[@cuddlieone2139]

My asp Explorer just got me to sag A and back, my God that took some time 🤣🤣
