"Who are you and how the hell did you find me?" - all DBX pilots 2019-2020
You now what? I just arrived on colonia the other day, with my DBX, planning to stay there for a while and exploiting everything it had to offer to me, just before going ahead to Sagittarius A.
I didn't last a day... this "too much people and their bullshits here" sensation XD
Now I'm on Sagittarius A.
I literally said almost exactly that just the other day, when I was out in the middle of nowhere and came across a fleet carrier, and another random explorer who also had nothing to do with the carrier!
Me to the fuel rat after exploring red dwarfs in anarchy systems a little bit too much and running out of fuel
I really felt called out.
Just bought a DBX and yeah this is pretty freaking accurate lol.
It's a shame this games doesn't offer a viable role as ships salesman. You would be perfect.
*slaps top of diamondback* this bad boy can fit a lot of jump range
"So which ship do you recommend I buy?" Pilot: "Yes."
Nice lol
Actually you can be a ship sales men in elite but you have to own a fleet carrier which Is currently 5 billion credit and is a mega ship
@@codyrsadler7625 key word is viable
Early on I wasn't having any fun with E:D. Then when I was nearly broke, I traded in everything on a DBX - best I could afford was a class D FSD - so I stepped into the black with only 24 light years of range and without the cash to re-buy if it all went wrong... It took me over a year to make it to Colonia, via Sag A.
When I turned in the data I went from dead broke to filthy rich. With my newfound wealth I could do anything I wanted in just about any ship I wanted....
Within a week I was back in my DBX - there's another word for this ship - "home"
Started E:D about 3 Days ago....... I WANT ONE!
@@GrauW0lf I bought the game on winter sale and got the ship few days ago. By far the best decision i've made so far
@@GrauW0lf You've got 2 options
A. grind credits moving cargo and work your way up until you can afford the DBX
B. grind enough to fit out a Hauler for exploration and get out there :)
@@Clara_Page
C. Get some credits to max out your Sidewinder jump range, get a DSS and do a bunch of systems from the Road to Riches.
How much did you make?
“It asks for so little, and will give you the stars in return.”
Well I’m sold.
That fsd charge at the end was fantastic, 10/10
The fucking shiver down my spine ... Flawless execution. One of the best cinematic pieces I've ever seen on TH-cam
It gives shivers all the time
@@dawnplaya5596 I absolutely agreed, the man truly knows his stuff
I got strangely emotional....
Don't judge me o7
@@DarkDisc1 same for me
You’re missing this ships biggest draw card. You do have to be careful. You do have to plan and execute. You do have to gather mats and resources to make the distance. This is space we explore. It’s inherently dangerous. That’s the appeal for me. I enjoy the risk. I enjoy flying accurately, diligently. The feeling of vulnerability is immense. Best ship in the game.
This video was amazing like all other ship reveal videos.
I am waiting for the type-9 reveal it is my favorite ship
Hiury Dal Pozzo Costa I agree! type 9 is a close second for me, I’m looking forward to the pilots take on that too.
@Frank EXACTLY!
I have around 80,000LY in my DBX, "Big Bad Nasty Warship". She REALLY gives you the feel of the awe, the immensity, and the danger of where we go...the freakin' GALAXY.
BBNW is SO perfect; she fits into my hand, she does what I ask, I never NEED to think about what to do; my DBX just does it.
Cheers!
I could not have said it better. This game's middle name is Dangerous, after all.
@@cogspace second name ..
For reference, the DBX certainly makes for a potent assassin - those good thermals, that large hardpoint mean that you're well-placed to deliver a devastating strike from stealth against an unwary target. That's how I lost my first Anaconda.
Good to know
That's how I destroyed my first Anaconda ironically.
It's possible to get thermal in standard running to 14%, and theoretical to 11% Fitted out with heat sinks you can hide for a very long time for a victim...
*Black Flight intensifies*
Yep it makes for a deadly "silent runner" if you choose so.
I love the "rickety ship that's punching way above its weight"-feel that the Dimondback Explorer has. It's got weird quirks: some systems don't entirely match with what you'd expect, the hardpoints are all over the place, the margins for error are small, and it's got the interior space and comfort of a student flat. But I'd argue it's got this sense of personality, this charm, this spirit of independence exactly because of its quirks.
It's a VW bus held together by duct tape, chewing gum, baling wire, and spit.
It's got the equivalent of a space canoe tied to the roof and so much junk you can't see out the back.
And it can touch down anywhere, never overheats, and wheezes when it takes off.
Well put, this ship was what made my first 10mil to buy a Cobra for bounty hunting. I remember my first journey was to the coal stack to test her out. It wasn't far, but it was my first mini expedition into the stars.
Frontier should use your videos to advertise their ships! You bring out the best of almost any ship with such a smooth silky voice. You're one of a kind!
Lakon Spaceways wants to know your location and offer you a job opportunity
Lakon does it again. Lakon has absolutely zero respect for style but they know their customers. They know that when you are in the ship, nothing on the outside matters. You can tell this ship was designed by an engineer.
I don't know what the hell you're talking about. the DBX is the sexiest ship in the 'verse.
@@AdaFrame at least for those of us that love a utilitarian design not afraid to show the working parts, it really is fantastic
No engineer would build this good a ship. Let's face it: it was built by another explorer who happened to design ships on his downtime. XD
I actually love the look of all Lakon ships. Is it just me?
Designed by an engineer which means... Mechanics hate it.
So that bit right at the ending with the rising music against the charging FSD came out pretty damn good!
I thought so. :-)
@@ThePilot_ It's too bad that you didn't have a view from another pilot's perspective there so that you could cap the video with us actually see your DBX going into frame shift. That's what I thought was about to happen before you cut to black.
I just got back to my home port after a 10k lightyear journey using my DBX, named Philae, after the ESA robotic lander. I was turning in my cartographic data, wanting a shiny new ship to fly around deep space.
Then I watched this video, and I fell in love with Philae all over again. She's been my trusty companion through many a stupid mission, countless thousands of lightyears of exploration, and even some asteroid obstacle courses.
Thank you for bringing me back to reality and showing me how wonderful my ship truly is.
Godspeed, CMDR!
o7 Commander.
what means o7?
@@swordlauncher9217 It is a salute.
I used my DBX for bounty hunting way back in the day. In fact, I’ve used my DBX for everything except exploration, well going way out into yonder anyways.
I recommend this ship to anyone and everyone grinding through the ranks. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t love it. From exploring soul sucking black holes, to shooting out an anacondas arse, to cracking open roads, to smuggling illegal imp slaves. This ship has done it all, and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon
I used mine for bounty hunting as well. But I also loved the long jump range and making long trips between engineers a breeze.
You make it obvious which ships you love. 😁 "We can always go further." Chills. Perfect delivery, beautiful scenery topped with brilliant music and the FSD-charge. You did an awesome exploration commercial! 🤩
I have a 150 mil credit anaconda built for exploring
Now i have a DBX
Same buddy.
My first trip I got back with the DBX after a week of exploring, I had enough moulah to buy an anaconda and then some. Fully fitted it out with all the bells and whistles.
Not even a week later I was back in the DBX.
The conda may be better at everything the DBX does, but the DBX has a degree of personality the conda will never have.
Exploring with something that has the speed of a beached whale definitely has its downsides. Cx
I've got a DBX, but it's sitting back at my home station, 43k LY away, while I'm cruising around the galaxy in my Phantom. The DBX is very cramped for me.
@@johnpooky84 I love my phantom, she’s a trooper and has seen me through weeks in the void
My best dbx moment so far.
Exploring guardian ruins for the first time and getting ganked by sentinels in my srv. They send missiles, i'm done. I see small green lights and all the missiles explodes.
Turns out the defense turret on my dbx's tail could cover the whole ruins.
The true Guardian
Lakon is, by far, my favorite spaceship manufacturer.
3 years later (almost) and I still get emotional watching this. We need another video about this, a video series! A captains Vlog!
I love my DBX "Probably Stolen". Go Team Lakon!
yeay! i love my T6 as well
Know what explorer ships need? Dual powerplants. Turn one off and repair it.
that's a good idea
Mark Hackett damn that is a good idea
i like that. or maybe an advanced afmu that is solar powered so it can repair everything while the ship is off.
Can repair limpets from other ships repair your drive? if yes, it's kinda nice, it encourages dual man, or at least explorers that are relatively close by to go and meet each other. Or the repair seals.
@@ICKY427 Dual drives can be useful outside exploration, though, since a lot of big ships don't need much power to keep running, and a spare means you can't be sniped so easily.
Love these ship "walkthroughs" - keep it up man. You make it about passion, instead of the usual outfitting-number crunching.
Thank you! That's exactly what I was going for.
I used a T-6 for exploration, and made it to 30% of the way through Pioneer. Countless first discoveries, a visits to Sag A*, and VY Canis Majoris. Dozens of Earth Like and Water Worlds. Loving every minuite of it... Then the DBX came along, and exploration became so much more enjoyable.
Even after reacing the rank of Elite in Exploration. I'm still heading out into the black to see more, scan more, discover more.. All because the DBX is that good.
Makes for a pretty damn fun Buckyball Racer too.
I just wish I could change the engine sound. It reminds me of trying to start my wood chipper after leaving it sit for a couple years....other than that, it's my favorite multi-purpose ship so far (still a noob)
Me too. The T6 is now just for hauling. No wonder the DBX has 2 times the fuel tank
The DBX really is a surprisingly good ship for its price point. I bought it thinking it was just a stepping stone to get to the bigger ships....but then it started doing the things i wanted the bigger ships for....and doing them well O_O. Fast, nimble, low heat, stealthy, deceptively deadly in a fight and ridiculous jump range. Overachieve much?
I know this is a year old video, and I'm late for the party.
But the way you connect with the ships you showcase is simply amazing. It is relatable, it is poetry.
Thanks for all of it.
Dammit..here I am enjoying a sandwich while watching my favorite channel and I nearly choke to death from laughter when you say "Who the he.....find me here".
Took a DBX on Distant Worlds 2. Glad I outfitted it with an extra fuel tank, however. Having a range ~500LY helped me avoid a few potentially tricky routes.
Noted.
As a long time DBX pilot this video makes me so ridiculously happy.
The Diamondback Explorer
A medium class frame shift drive on a small class ship.
Buildable for ratting or exploration for only 8mil to max it out...
A unique look.
Lands on planets easily.
And has the best thermal management in the entire galaxy.
I started playing a few weeks ago, I love exploration. I've farmed materials unlocked engineers and upgraded this ship so it has a 69 LY jump range. I'm carrying everything I hope I'll need.
I want to go where no one else has been and put my name on it.
Being in a DBX, gives me a feeling of what I think people must have felt then they were crossing the Atlantic in tiny wooden ships, unsure of what, if anything, they'd find. Or being in a tiny covered wagon crossing the great plains in the US, hoping to reach Oregon before the snow started falling. It's a tiny, fragile thing, and it's the only thing keeping you alive. Of course you're going to fall in love with it.
I think everyone who plays ED should subscribe to you. The hard work that must go into creating these masterpieces is commendable. I was mesmerised. Thank you 🙏🏽
Can you imagine if they ran these videos at the ship Market.
Legit made me tear up a bit, I fucking adore this ship. it's the only ship I take exploring.
I love my dbx. I went from my sidewinder to the eagle, then after cruising around for a few hours, decided to sell it for a hauler. It got me some nice change. Got viper mk 3, then switched to the viper counterpart. Mainly, for bounty hunting. Then I mistakenly bought the dbs, not realizing until a day later I bought the wrong ship. Sold it and invested almost everything I had to get the dbx. I went to maia for the first time, completed with interdiction welcome and explosive goodbye "fireworks". Then to Khun. I'm starting to thirst for more of the galaxy. I want to see more! And I now know the dbx will get me there, wherever I point her nose. Because she wants to get there too.
I am still out in mine as one of the last returning pilots from DW2. Making my way to Colonia right now to get on the highway home with my data.
Fly safe, Commander. Make them credits!
"We can allways go further" is a wonderful quote :)
when you land on a mountain and drive off it doing flips in an SRV, you know you just got there
Earned Exploration Elite in this little powerhouse. Still my go to for exploration. Love my little "Star Chaser".
My DBX is called The Spirit of Citrus. A calling back to when it was thought to be a bit of a lemon. But I loved her anyway. The utilitarian angles and the moth wings just tickled me right. And with the few callbacks and refits, she's turned into a mighty pioneer of the stars. Taken me further than any other ship. Gotten me out of more scrapes than any other ship and made more memories than any other ship I've ever flown.
I have to say, you make the damn best vids ever.
I'm just discovering these videos and I gotta say this one actually moved me. That was. Well it was just beautiful man. Bravo.
I haven't had chills and goosebumps watching a video for a while, I think the last time I did was an EvE trailer years back.. This gave me those chills again.. I really wish I could play it now more than ever. Thank you.
I loved the FSD at the end, that was beautiful and poetic timing.
The DBX will always have a special part in my heart, this little ship took me around the galaxy and back.
It's got it's quirks, the powerplant barely gives enough charge to do all you need to, you'll be fighting the mass limits to get that full suite of exploration equipment you need in it (expecially when you engineer it), that fuel scoop will have you sitting on stars longer than you ideally want to.
And yet, this is my all time favourite exploration vessel, it does all it needs to do, and it does it well. Its quirks may make it feel like you're in a rustbucket that's always one missed maintance check away from disaster, but so was Serenity and to me it's got that same character to it, that same sense of pesonality that makes her not just a ship, but a home.
I bought a DBX to collect materials so that I can get the components to outfit another ship, turned out the DBX is what I wanted all along. And now it has an FSD booster and an engineered FSD.
Ok, that's it, I'm subbing. I've binge watched all your ship reviews but this ending sent shivers up my spine. Incredible editing and video making skills.
Too bad I uninstalled this - I loved this ship. Though ADHD stopped any plans of staying in the black for more than a few weeks, it still was great every time. I even used it as a combat ship when I was a newbie...
That ending gave me chills. Very nice work. Your videos are a staple for me and my buddy playing ED. You contribute a way of thinking we really like. Keep it up.
I just stumbled into your channel and these videos! I love the storytelling and the cutting style, one can see that you make your video with a lot of passion! Also i just started playing this game and am happy to see so much cool stuff in this game!
that ending game me chills, nice job with this video!
Mr Pilot, I thoroughly enjoy your videos! The way you talk about all these ships makes me love all of them!
My collection of favorite ships just grew... again... ;-)
Sweet, I was waiting for this one! Thanks man, really like the intro music too :) Brilliant vid all up
Love your editing! I spent the first few months of lockdown in my Diamondback X out in the black. It saved my sanity.
Been flying a DBX since I could afford one. Two and half years later, I've been to the Crab Nebula, The Zurrara, Colonia, Beagle Point, the farthest system from Colonia, Distant Worlds 2, and I'm still not back from DW2! I've even landed on the highest gravity landable planets and survived an accidental drop! I undersized the fuel tank to a C4 to get 2-3 extra light years of single jump range, and never had a problem. Over 66ly of jump carrying a dual SRV bay, prismatic shields, and a rail gun (used for fuel dumping).
Best explorer out there...
... Just wish I could trade the space I'm not using for the bigger fuel tank for a bigger fuel scoop. oof
fuel dumping?
@@stiimuli Railguns can be given the experimental effect "Plasma Slug" which allows them to use ~25 kg of fuel per shot, instead of ammunition, at the cost of 10% damage. Useful for dumping fuel, as mentioned, and also improves sustainability in combat zones, as instead of having to return to a station to get more ammo, you can just supercruise down to the star, scoop some fuel, and fly back to the CZ.
stiimuli apparently you could extend your jump range by dumping fuel.
Fascinating mechanic
Ending was surprisingly emotional. Godspeed you, Pilot.
o7
This series...man. Out of this world. So well planned and executed
The end of this gave me goosebumps, you've got a gift.
That sound effect from the FSD charging at the very end was super climactic and a great way to end the video. Well done my friend
I really enjoyed this video, your descriptions of why exploration is so compelling got me a little choked up. I think you're right, that it's a symbol of the desire to explore, and that makes this weird little ship beautiful. I went to Colonia in a DBX, and the sense of vulnerability from being in a small ship lent an edge of fear to the whole trip.
I also ended up imagining that it was rather cramped in there. What with the internal slots packed full of survival gear, I'd be rolling out my sleeping bag on the floor of the cockpit. Not much room for amenities, either, maybe just a mini-fridge and a microwave. I figure I'd eaten a lot of bagel-dogs and hot pockets on that journey.
Also, if you take an SRV, you can always prospect for additional materials for synthesis on planets. Not being able to repair your power plant is probably the one thing that might force you back to the closest station. As other people mentioned, having another power plant would be useful, but maybe you could also have some kind of battery with limited charge, just enough to run the AMFU for a bit before you have to recharge it.
Beautiful work as always 👍
Jesus, your videos are just getting better and better, that was amazing!
Most lakon ships look like bugs the asp explorer with a red pirate paint job looks like a lady bug diamondback looks like a helicopter in space like the raptor
Your content is absolutely awesome! Please keep up the incredible work! Your voice works perfectly for these videos too
Thank you, very much.
Beautifully crafted video as usual :)
That's what I call a Love Letter to a Space Ship. :-)
Have always been fond of the unique design of the DBX. Aesthetically, it has always been my favorite, even before I started playing.
That was awesome! Subbed and now binge watching all your vids! Haha.
I did the same thing 👍
Love your work mate!!! Keep it up!!!
Wonderful video as always but this one is truly beautiful. A fitting close with the FSD charging too. I hope they add more ships so we never run out of your reviews. Watching this one 3/4 through a trip omw to Beagle Point. While I've never gotten my DBX over 75.9ly personally, it's a great way to get lost in the deep black.
That's some damn fine editing and production.
Great Video as always. 8:06 that skybox error though.... Wish theyd fix that. That bug ruined my first trip to Sag A*
That is not a skybox glitch. That's just how stellar forge works. It does look wonky, but that's how it is. And it isn't fixable at this point really since that would imply regenerating whole regions of a galaxy again. On why it works this way you could watch FD's discovery scanner episode on stellar forge, and you will understand why it looks the way it looks.
@@Quicksilver_Cookie Regardless I hate looking at star cubes.
Amazing vid. Loved this so much
Absolutely superb stuff, wonderful vid, great audio and superb choice of words :)
I just bought found your channel. your videos are incredible. I just bought this DBX and am having a blast. Thanks for the inspiring video of this ship. gave me goosebumps bro. take care and ill see ya when you get back to the bubble. If you ever do :)
Man as always good job you make some great content
Honestly, I love all your ship review video's, but this one moved me! Its now on my list to buy.
Great work as always
This video was one of the main inspirations for me to start Elite. I became fully hooked. Hotas, VR, you name it. The DBX was the second ship I bought, and I couldn't wait to get it. I immediately went on an exploration with a 5C FSD because I had almost no money left after completing the purchase. The next ship I bought was an Anaconda a few hundred hours later, that's how far this ship will get you. And now, I am on my way back to the Bubble from my trip to Beagle Point / Ishum's Reach. Thank you for hooking me into exploration in Elite!
These videos are like the best parts of Top Gear without any of the annoying bits. Not only very informative but they really help immersion, and they're just well made bits of film-making. Only started playing a few weeks ago and this inspired me to get a DBX as soon as I could. Going exploring soon.
Your reviews are such high quality.
Awesome Video.. Yet again!
Love my DBX. One of the first ships I got. Your videos always make me pause to appreciate Elite’s ships. Keep these great videos coming!
I think this is arguably the best video you have made and that ending was so good easily my favourite since I love my DBX even if I haven’t used it lately
Thank you!!! I love this ship!
Yet another fantastic video, been eagerly awaiting your take on the DBX, but you didn’t mention MY favorite thing about it: the side engines pivoting for landings and launches! I always try to switch to external view during easier takeoffs and landings, simply to enjoy that little added special “something” the DBX gives you the pleasure of as an exploration ship!
I'm not much of an explorer, more of a combat pilot, miner, and BGS player... But if I had to fly an explorer, my choice would be this or the Phantom. I had one years back called Superstar Highway, was a lot of fun flying that out to the rim and back 😁
My friend on discord showed me your video and so I subbed u make great content!!!!! ur relaxing and great to watch!!!!
Great video.....you discribe complete my feelings when I am out in my Scoopy Dooby Doo....a black striped DBX, actual back in Bubble after 4 years Exploration to Colonia/SAG A and return.....can not wait to expand the FSD from Farseen, and than back to the lonely seat in an far away point from the bubble
Oh my.. this is so freaking beautiful.. I love your videos! Wubs..
Another great video. Keep it up.
every Reviewvideo you make about the Ships sounds like you are doing it with your Heart
I think Yamiks has enough salt for the entire community ;)
@@austinm5630 hahaha :D true
@@austinm5630 Yeah, but hes still everyone's favorite Space Latvian!
These videos of yours should be in the game linked to each ship they represent. Great work.
The jump noises at the end were a nice touch.
Never have I ever been so inclined to date a spaceship from a description by another man lol. Awesome videos bro.
Love your videos. You're probably the best ED youtuber I know. Keep up the great work.
I bought the DBX because I saw it and thought "Oh, this thing thinks it's an attack helicopter, that's cute."
Then I inadvertently exited the bubble one evening, and I realized that it doesn't think it's an attack helicopter, it *knows* it's a tiny boat, leaning face-first into the unknown, and in its heart beats the same human spirit that steered the Beagle, the Victoria, the Golden Hind.
The DBX is discovery and wonder and a willingness to sacrifice everything to learn more.
"i don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me."
great vid also nice ending there. would've been epic if you got a friend to actually record you hyper jumping out. but who else is really with you in the great black
I adore your videos.
I always loved how its wings fold back to land
Beutifull video.. the music. The info the story.. just wauw. You got my sub!
I have watched this video back to back more than 10 times today. Not only is it beautifully made, it's... serene. Thank you for making this video!
I would love to know what build you had for this... I want to make this exact ship
I love this video series....it's 'poetic' his ship reviews....the music, the editing, by the end of this video, I wanted to leave work and climb into my DBX and explore!
That ending gives shivers all the time
