T6 was a big moment for me when stepping up through ships as a new player. I remember being joyous that I could finally haul so much cargo with a decent jump range and how well it handled despite all that extra weight. It was the first ship I owned that felt truely purpose-built without compromising for the sake of compromise. The Type-6 is nothing special on the surface, but I like to think that those people sick and dying saw it as nothing less than an angel of mercy delivering life-saving medical supplies when everything else was too self-important to bother. It might be a cardboard box, but maybe that's all it needed to be.
I deleted my save a few days back and yesterday i was doing medical supply runs in my shiny new T6 :-)
Amen to that !
It's the first all round vessel that isn't just a fighter being repurposed for something that isn't fighting. It doesn't look glamourous but that's the savings you make for just 1 million credits
Exactly how I feel. The Type 6 is what brought me into the game. I felt like I was influencing things, it was spritely enough to enjoy flying around, had big windows to see things. Perfection for where and when you get it. It's not a Python, but it'll always be my first love.
It was my first ship from sidewinder, I actually prefer its flight model, feels better on the joystick and the cockpit visibility made finding the right landing pad much easier. 😀
Type 6 is an amazing low cost explorer. She's a fine tool, and the ugliness is part of the charm. I have several T6s, one's a Fuel Rat ship and it's good enough to keep up with the Asps and other rescue ships. And for a tiny fraction of the cost.
Runs a bit hot though. It was my first designated cargo ship and one of my favourites I've flown.
"The ugliness is part of the charm" Yeah, it's low poly to increase your FPS
@@penguingamer9882 i like the uglier ships, the angular shapes feel nicer to me than say imperial love of smooth curves, might be a side effect of watching The Expanse
you do a great job making these ships all seem more different than they really are. in reality i wouldnt put it past some cmdrs to actually forget which ship theyre flying from time to time. presenting each ship like they have a unique personality takes good writing skills and it makes me enjoy these videos more than playing the actual game lately. 👍🏻
Thanks, Icky. :-)
It's what Top Gear UK did for cars. Clarkson, May and Hammond did an excellent job making even a daily driver look like it was a very special set of wheels. And they should feel like that too.
The T6 is an ugly old workhorse with a heart of gold. She's ideal for smaller Allied tier cargo missions and the annoying cargo runs most engineers want to unlock them. Best of all, she dances through interdiction compared to other cargo haulers and costs peanuts. I've got nearly every ship in game but I still pull out my T6 and fly her because I just enjoy her practicality and flight characteristics. Mine's engineered up to 50LY jumps and feels like a Ford Transit that got rebuilt and tuned by Ferrari.
This
I can relate. Also, it has the most epic boost sound ever. You flip that switch, it feels like your ship is falling apart around you. XD XD
The T6 is not ugly, it's *low polygons* to increase your FPS
@@paavobergmann4920 Probably is lmao
The type-6. A trading vessel to some, an unstoppable killing machine to others
T6 microwave build when?
@@attemptsatflight2121 those 2 small hardpoints could pump out a whopping 12% of the anaconda's DPS... terrifying
@@depressionchannel4021 I mean, there's stuff around with the same firepower that can be launched from the Keelback's hangar.
Nuff said.
@@depressionchannel4021 Thanks for the tips, heading to witch-head now with the terrifying killing machine.
I know this is a joke, but dang, just imagine deadly space brick
The type 6. The Ford Transit of Elite.... Still have mine the Rusty Dusty... I think its time to take her out again....
Today I was flying around in my ship
And by ship I mean shipping container
with engines painted on it
Ah the T6. I'd love for Search and Rescue to be a more viable form of gameplay cos the T6 would be brilliant at it. Great video as always.
I tried this: the size of the scanner is not big enough - you'd drop in to an emergency call and couldn't find them :(
@@KirstenBayes it has the perfect paint jobs for it though.. frontier should address this, put some flashing lights on it and make a purpose built rescue vehicle.
@@CommanderAscorbius Yes! I want to be a Space Doctor!
@@KirstenBayes Its fine - just visit the Engineers for a boost in range, the size of scanner doesn't make all that much difference once you add in engineering - yes the big ones can go further, but once you get to 10+Km default emissions range it really doesn't matter anymore for S&R as the signal are so low energy there doesn't seem to be much if any gain in detection range for them. Can also just eyeball many of them - which the lakon cockpit is great for.
@@foldionepapyrus3441 oooh, my space ambulance may be back!
My T6 "Kogge", my first real moneymaker. She was slow, unhandy and I´m still loving her.
Thanks for your Vids. Thanks to You I started playing and still do.
So true. It is and will always be my first real love in ED. Made most of my first real money with it. Used it to start engineering and with decent thrusters u wont get interdicted ever...
I went from the adder to the type six and I liked it so much I am going to see if I can make it unstoppable.
@@x...CrankyOldMan...x i dont get why groeny said it was slow, A rated all power to engines, thing can boost to 400. interdicted? a few boosts and barrel rolls and off you go
The T-6 was my second purchase after clocking enough time in the Cobra and wanting to get my Python. Got 100 million in it, without mining. Really mastered NPC interdictions that way ;)
I loved my space potato, it got me started to my favorite space truck. Now if only FDev would add a Mack truck red hat or bulldog bobblehead for my cockpit, I'd truly feel like a space trucker
My Type-6 is a cold flying smuggling vessel. Nearly undetectable, and a sneaky little flying bastard.......I love the Type-6 :-D
I want to try smuggling but I don't want to buy and outfit a entirely new ship for smuggling, what is your type 6 smuggle build?
@@melissaharway4547 Shure: 3A Power Plant with Low Emissions and Thermal Spread. 4D Thrusters Clean with Thermal Spread. 4A Frame Shift with increased Range and Mass Manager. 2E Life Support, 3D P.

Perfect use for it imo. My type-6 "Shadow" has been doing Robigo Mines smuggling runs for years. It's got the jump range, it runs fairly cool, and most importantly, it's fast!!
Even pre engineering I could boost at well over 400m/s! Although that does make stopping inside the docking bay a challenge sometimes
I love the Type-6. The ship was my first step into Bulk Transport trades and its the ship that helped me get enough money to buy an Asp Explorer.
True MVP.
You may think I'm joking but I really do adore the Type-6.
Well said sir... Its exactly what I did as well... 👍
Oh I do believe you. I've pushed past the type 6 for a couple weeks now, saving up enough for an Asp Explorer, followed by a type 7 and very recently a vulture. But... I don't think I'll ever grow out of my trusty old tin can. I still love that ship :D
The type 6 is how I discovered the best - if not the *only* - reliable way to make money. I went straight from it to a type 7, then a type 9. The type 9 is special to me, it's made me over 3 billion credits, but I never would have got it without the type 6. I don't really love it as a ship, but it will always hold a special place in my heart.
@@penguingamer9882 I haven't played in a long time but my current goal is to get a type 9. I love its design and being able to carry more cargo for my delivery/supply runs is always a plus in my book 😅
@@fakerhex it's a great ship. Fully outfitted, mine cost me about 125M, and it has made me 20x that amount. Use INARA for the best trade routes, you can sometimes find routs that make up to 120M/hour, but they don't last long.
You: "... minus the fighter bay if you're that kind of explorer."
Me (with my Krait Mk2 explorer and fighter bay): "Hey... what's that supposed to mean?!" *remembers Krait Phantom with 10 more ly jump range* "We all make sacrifices..."
Great video as usual! I love watching these. They always make each and every ship in ED feel more like a real vehicle that is worth investing in (or not, depending). I'm currently on my first trip from the bubble to Colonia (and then Sag A*). Your videos were a big part of helping me decide whether to take my Krait Mk2, Krait Phantom (loved the Scott Manley guest appearance), or Anaconda out for this longest journey ever. Remember, kids: Don't forget your Taipan to help fight space madness!
The Type-6 was my first real Goldmine :) it made me Proud like My Cobra Mk3 always did.
btw it also was my first Ship i took on a longer Tour through the big Black.
for many CMDR`s not much but these 432 Ly were intense for me :) and it was one of the first Community Goals i could attend on.
maybe some of you remember the Obsidian Orbital that got build in the Maia System ^^
Holy Shit ... these Shirts :D had to buy 2 immideatly LMAO "The Beluga" absolutely perfect ^^
I loved my Type-6. My second real ship, after the Cobra. The Type-6 was the first ship I bought the ship kit for cause those exposed pipes on the sides drove me nuts and the ship kit includes covers for those sections.
This was the ship I bought after the sidewinder. 2 years ago still have it
5:03, the face of sadness
i see it
I doubt my story is that much different, but I primarily played as a cargo hauler and after getting the hang of things with the Cobra was saving up for the Python, since as a newb, I hadn't done enough research into the various ships. I by accident found a post and found some of the core websites, and after doing research realized I not only had well beyond enough for the Type-6, but to A-rate virtually all of the key hardware already and afford rebuy. So stopping in, I bought one with no trade in, figuring I could always sell it back and keep going in my Cobra. I don't recall exactly, but I think at the end of the next play session, I had made back all that I had spent on the Type-6 and then some. But I was making good money, having fun, and really enjoying "Astrotrain", though laughably one of the few instances I failed an interdiction resulted in me getting the bounty on the interceptors; I was in a system I regularly visited for contracts and the system authorities were really johnny on the spots, so they nailed them as I just ran for it, but since I tagged them with my tiny little pulse lasers when I did my turn and scoot, that was enough, I got a share of the bounty when the Authorities killed them before I jumped away. Before I had raised all the funds to purchase and upgrade, I met other players/friends and was convinced to buy a Krait mk II (which was pretty much brand new at that point) and that became the ship I loved, but the Type-6 to me will always be a good workhorse.
👍 side note: Authority ships get nothing from bounties, you get it all.
That ship made me space rich ! Well was my first step so respect is due.
My type 6, the leaky lemon, has been with me since I bought it as my fourth ship. It's been a trader, miner, explorer and now it's a rescue ship. Always the workhorse of my fleet.
I love my T6. I saw a cargo mission that would require 4 or 5 runs to deliver with my Cobra, and thought to myself "I think it's time I buy something with a bigger cargo hold". I bought my T6 (third ship ever, at this point), and was absolutely blown away. I play in VR, and I couldn't stop giggling about how big and beautiful and open the inside was. I was finally back in the middle of the cockpit (curse ships with two front seats, let me sit in the middle!), and there was a MASSIVE dome in front of me to look around out of. Everything felt spectacular from inside there.
I'm sure I have other amazing ships to see out of on my journey, but I thought I'd share my utter joy with the T6.
Love my type 6, it got me my DBX and allowed me to step up and also get me the ship I hated the most, the Type 7 (it does what I need it to do well, but I just hate it).
Named my Type 6 "Ralia" (the Sugar girl). Love that thing. My fav space brick.
When you sponsor yourself:
*S T O N K S*
2:20 A cardboard box is exactly what I had in mind as I fit my Type-6. I named it "Local Deliveries," gave it the callsign "BOX4U" and painted it a nice sandy shade of brown. It's one of my favorites to just jump around the bubble moving random trade goods from here to there.
Aah, fond memories of this boat. I used this for running rare goods around the bubble. Nice video
The Type-6 was the first cargo ship I got after leveling up as a bounty hunter. After spending so much time killing, I outfitted it for rescuing people from burning stations. I did it over and over, and when I was done I was rescuing people in a type-9.
How can you literally say that you don't like a ship while sounding like you're in love at the same time? This is why I love your videos!
ahhhhhh the type-6. this is what got me into the quiet serenity of space trucking. this ship teaches you the joy in going from point a to point b, and back again. this is the first ship where you can do a trade route. only, you learn to appreciate boom time deliveries in this thing. you might need to double back for the second half of the delivery, but this is the first time i felt capable of being a merchant vessel. the first time you can really be a space trucker. this ship is and always will hold a special place in my heart. i'm going to buy another one thanks to this video. because i miss this ship dearly, despite flying a cutter.
I like the T6 for exactly the reasons you said you don't. It does feel like driving a forklift, or a truck, something industrial anyway. I have fond memories of running the Lave/Witchaul rares circuit and lots of smuggling too. Mine had A rated thrusters and power distributor. It had bigger shields than standard too, it served me well as a blockade runner. I sold it to buy an AspX, which is a ship I like as well, but I regretted selling my T6. I have a new one now, built more or less the same way as my old one, just waiting on engineering. Once it's properly engineered I'll stuff it full of drugs and guns and fly it like I stole it to make a mediocre profit.
Side note about the T6, if you see some CMDRs racing Eagles and Vipers around a station and you feel like you have to join in. Don't follow them under the rings that go around the hangar part of Orbis and Occelus stations, it doesn't fit.
The first of all, you're making amazing videos. I really appreciate your passion to make a high quality content.
The second, who's the CMDR Validating? I met quite a lot of systems discovered by him/her. Isn't it QA account?
i think it's xbox commanders
Thanks! And yeah, Clockwork is right. Validating is a bug where Xbox Cmdrs don't get their name displayed in the database correctly.
And here I always thought they were just a really prolific explorer with a silly name.
@@connormackay7098 Me too. Every time I ran across Validating, I would think about how dedicated that SOB is. :D
This is probably my favorite cover art for one of your videos, and one of my favorite ships. I started elite as a trader, so I have happy memories flying around in this ship. Working my way towards a type 9. I want to revisit this ship soon though. I love how it looks
I've only been playing for a couple weeks. I'm in love with this ship. It's appearance, it's functionality, the cockpit. I love it
Adore my T6. It's not my most regularly used hull (that's the Cutter) but for quick flyaround or courier jobs, I go to that rather than the AspX, Eagle or Cobra Mk III. Thrusters are so responsive, it's like Bambi on ice trying to swat a fly. But it's just great fun. Can carry a reasonable cargo load. Has the slots and the ability to do other stuff too. It's a hauler but its more. It's just like the old Ford Transit van. Multipurpose and you'll use it till it falls apart but then you'll lovingly try and rebuild it from spares.
My T6 is called “the lil’ cardboard box” and it made me so happy that the name lives on 😂
The T6 was my first explorer doing DW2 in comfort at a great price with all the required gear and the best view ever. only had 43 ly jump range as I had only unlocked Felicity. Now fully engineered with a FSD booster she has 56 and is my go to for cruising in the black
I was waiting for this one. Best mid level in my opinion.
Really loving this ship so far. Had it for almost 4 days now. Exploring and hauling missions are what I am enjoying so far, and this ship does both wonderfully. Even the high value hauls where I get interdicted 2-4 times on the way to the stations. Agile enough to escape all of them so far, and I'm doing the 5-7mil value hauls that sometimes take 2 trips or more. Jump range is great for beginner exploring and Road to Riches. Made 60 mil+ in the last 3 days while doing the slow version of Road to Riches(Scanning EVERYTHING and learning as much about exploration as I can in the process) and hauling when I need a break from that. And that's with not that much play time(I work 12-14 hour days). When I started this game I was afraid my little play time would hurt me. Not so far lol. Especially thanks to this ship. Trying to talk myself into a Keelback right now so I can start learning combat a little more.
I started playing Elite: Dangerous in the last week or two and I was so overjoyed when I upgraded to a Type 6. I feel like I'm actually living the space truck life and it's got the versatility to do courier and boom time deliveries to small outposts. It's maneuverable enough that I've been interdicted just once by NPC pirates. It's a bit dull and straightforward but I *love* my Type 6. I'm really torn on upgrading to a Type 7 right now. I know that a Type 7 would mean a proper trade ship and a lot more income... but I love my Type-6 so much that changing out before I manage to grind up to the Imperial Clipper seems like a *downgrade* for some reason.
I love my baby. Thick With Two Cees has delivered food to a famine wracked system, hauled 100 tons of silver into Cubeo, run away from pirates, delivered medicine, and everything in between. Leaving her behind feels like it would be *mean*.
Thanks for the video.
I bought a T6 after watching this video.
How could I resist with a honest pitch like this.
It was a natural progression from my beloved Hauler.
I moved to a Dolphin after that... But i left my heart in the type 6 cockpit...
By far my favorite ship to fly. It's sounds, handling and and that glorious view! Fly safe Commanders!
God your videos are what keeps me sane out on my long explorations.
You have me dream of all I’ll collect when I come home to the bubble.
The T6 was my first Explorer ship, I went to the Bug system with it with only a 21 Light Year jump range.
PS Be careful halfway here I ran into a brown dwarf garden patch that was 500 Light years across with very little
scoopable stars.
This has always been my first ship and gets me started on the road to my type 9 and 5m credit trade runs
I have lots of subscriptions..as we all must have..but YOU, THE PILOT! YOU, have the only channel I check regularly for updates! (Notifications are for the weak)
im in the Kraith MKII now, but the Type 6 is my loved one. my favourite ship, and the resposive to be an elite explorer. I love that ship, simple, fast. with a very decent jump capacity. i have it fully cheated in a red paint. im sure i ll back to my beloved 6 soon.
😢 One of the best written and delivered review of ANYTHING I have ever heard. I almost choked up at the end when declared your dislike for the Type 6.
Type-6: The only flying box in space you'll hate to love.
The T-6 needs the Hippy peace sign VW Bus paint job.... That , would be epic!
The thing to remember about large jump range ships is that these ships make short jumps using a lot less fuel... so flying economically with a ship with a huge jump range means more jumps per fuel tank load. :)
I own a number of ships in Elite, but the T6 isn't one of them. But I do agree with your assessment of exploration.
I recently took a trip out to Sag A* for the first time and while I did it in DBX, I set my route to economical rather than longest. It was a multi-month trip and purely by range not a single record was in danger of being broken.. but what surprised me was that on such a well traveled path by many an explorer before me.. I encountered only 7 systems in total that had another commanders name on them and they were mostly at the center. Good for me too. About half way out I found a delicious patch of unexplored systems filled with Earth likes, water balls and terraformables.
I'm now convinced the best way to explore is ride the highway out of the bubble pick a spot and just start mapping all the locals in some sector. When your done you can just ride the highway back and be home without spending 50% of your trip on the return.
Great review as always, I had the same problem with the T6, couldn't find a reason to like it, and eventually traded it in for a Keelback that I still have to this day.
While I do very much love the Keelback (its actually my favorite ship in the game I think (just don't let the Gunship, Couriour and Cutter hear me say that)) the T6 is a really pretty neat little box, that is dirt cheap and if you want it to can fly more like a SLF than a trader. I can't find any reason to dislike it, you can just outgrow it quickly, or want to be a serious combat or race pilot in which case why did you pick a T6 in the first place? Still have mine, first ship I took significantly beyond the bubble - ran long range passenger missions on one with no shields, and undersized thrusters for that max jump range. Made landing on all the interesting planets huge fun only did a few % hull damage on the whole trip but it makes you nervous having even a tiny bump be meaningful damage (before AMFU and repair limits existed - so careful was the order of all long range trips)!
as my first ship i bought after the sidewinder (yes i skipped the cobra) and used till i got my asp ex i kinda fell in love with her.
great vid cmdr, fly safe o7
Doing rare goods runs in my Type 6 back in the day was great fun. Used the money to buy a Python, and after that money was no thing.
Money is nothing when you have 2 cutters. 😉
T6 is the first ship I bought after doing hundreds of courier missions in my Sidewinder. Getting the T6 and looking under the hood I suddenly realised it was a key to almost all of the games content at an incredibly low price. Exploring: Yes you can get this brick up to 50lys and the cockpit is very open making those views much better, Mining and Trade: I've gotten this ship up to 90 tonnes if I remember right, sure there's no shields or armour but you could carry every gun in America.
Taking on wing delivery missions in a t6 for the fed rep so I can visit Sol, realising the mistake I've made and debating taking the shields off for the extra tonnage.
Not nearly as long ago as it feels, but fond memories all the same.
Maybe I should take mine out for a tour of the cradle, she never did get to see it since I immediately hopped in my dbx when I got the permit.
The Type 6 is the best exploring ship i will ever have. I'm a noob in ED because i started playing in October 2023. Since then i have 640+ hours playtime and i can assure you that roundabout 150+h are in the Type 6 now. My "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is painted in bright orange and i love it to go exploring and do exobiology. He is small enough to land practically everywhere, jumps about 53+ ly and with my new engineered thrusters (338/528m/s) i can easily outrun thargoids when i accidently step over them. I also made my first billion in exobiology with him a few days ago.
Reminds me of my first car. Small, not very fast and uninteresting, more a mule than a horse. But it was also inexpensive, modest in its needs and reliable,
A solid Evac ship for Thargoid attacked station, quick runs, easy to handle and good heat profile make this my preferred rescue ship as opposed to larger heavier option.
Honestly? I still prefer the Type-7 for evacs. Not just for the larger space, but because the pitch and yaw are identical, and it makes landing the thing in a fiery hellstorm a lot easier.
Before I knew anything I decided to take my type-6 and go visit one of my favorite nebula, the crab. Without optimizing, without planning I just did it...in a type 6...and it was amazing. Could I have some it faster or better in another ship? Of course...but now that I have better from all my exploration data...I keep going back to my type 6, the Forlorn Renegade...because it's my best ship without trying. Like you said...the type 6 just does.
'Tis a fine ship, me hearties...for robbing!
T6 “expert Lithobreaker” was the mining ship that took me from cobras and eagles to anacondas and pythons
the type 6 was the frist ship i got out of the starting area, it was cheep and made me a LOT of money. the T6 is the "learn to fly a larger ship" before you eventually hit the T7 for the large ships. the view you get while flying is amazing and i used the T6 for a LOT of cargo runs then i got the keelback as my first miner. you cant hate the T6, sure its ugly and missing a couple side panels, but it is a great ship for early game.
i took a type 6 on distant worlds 2. fully engineered up for exploration. i really came to love that ship. i flew it almost exclusively FA off when in normal space and down on planets. handles like a dream when shes stripped out (but i didnt skimp out on thrusters)
Amazing video as always. Honestly, your videos are underrated as hell. For your next video you should do the Imperial Clipper.
My first trip to the Sag A was in my engineered Type 9, was a very relaxing experience except for when I had to hard turn hard and go around gigantic brown dwarf stars
When it comes to trading and exploring . The type 6 , and type 7 offer the best cockpit view for the lowest price. This is the best ship for learning the game. Without the killer rebuy cost for mistakes made on the learning curve.
I loved my Type-6 when I was climbing the ladder of ship progression
I have a type 6 which I've named Uber Brick, I've done all sorts of shenanigans in it like refuel my stranded friend and even helped someone film some shot for a project.
The T-6 is great for what it is. Sure, for those of us who have been out long enough and have stacks of money to burn, a Python will do everything a T-6 can do and more. But for someone just starting out, the T-6 is the first ship to get you moving serious amounts of cargo. Many would-be space truckers have cut their teeth on the T-6, and that's what it excels at: being the gateway to opening up trading for the relatively new pilot.
Type 6...still in love with this ship after those years...my first explorer and actually ship that earn my elite explorer rank...now it serve as rich tourist taxi with name Curiosity Tours 😀
I skipped the T6 first time i played ED. Just deleted my save and restarted and really quite enjoying the T6. Only Engineered the FSD and it's getting about 45ly range which is nice and gives way more single jump cargo run options
I liked that ship as a new player.. I could barely afford it and was so tired of the hauler being able to hold so little cargo.. When I got this, it's where I learned the basics of this game. First time flying with flight assist off, learning and getting better at docking on my own! Making decent money to buy all the ships that helped me step up my game! Meeting the first engineers and learning to land on planets.
It's not a good ship for an experienced player, but for a new player, it's an excellent cheap ship allowing you to make good money for unlocking a bunch of other ships!
Thank you for this review. Ive been looking for the next step from the adder. You've sold me on this baby!
My Type-6 is named the flying toaster because it feels and handles just like a toaster
Still my favorite ship in the game. I love the way it looks: absolutely functional. Of course, I drive a 4 door Honda Civic, so maybe that's a clue.
I love my T6 ..
I'm exploring in my T6 Cardboard Box.. I have exactly the modules you suggested. Exploration isn't about jump range.. I'm zigging and zagging my way round the galaxy.. I haven't landed for about 18 months..
The most essential ship kit wearer; de-boxes it well.
These videos are works of absolute art. Bravo.
Thank you, man!
so true words! .. in the end, it's just you and the Galaxy, and the range+the cockpit view is just what you need for that.
who cares how it looks like, you not see it when sitting inside anyway ;)
T6 was the ship I used to make money for an Asp-X I still have her couldn't part with " The White Brick " may have to take her out when I get back to the Bubble. great Videos! thanks for the work you put into these by the way
Pretty sure I've watched this video a dozen times. I do love this little ship. I'll spend hours running around "saving" NPC's. I've got more songs written about me than I can even count!
Type 6 in front of things is something I should look into real soon.
It's like traveling the world with an Ape Cargo d600
It's nothing special in it's usual use but really stands out far away from home
I drive a forklift as a job,moving carboard boxes full of stuff,maybe thats why im enjoying the t6.
Thanks for the vid bout my fave ship.
I used mine as a passenger ship to build my credit base up. Was a cracking little ship.
So... Only Type-8 left to do now!
Oh wait...
The Adder?
@@marcofava You win. That's a record, by the way. See you in a week! Maybe two.
@@ThePilot_ thank you!!! That's been my main ship ever since I picked up Elite and never liked the grind to the bigger ones so I've been Addering around in the Vomit Comet for a little over a year now.
I haven't seen the Imperial Clipper yet either
This is the first ship I used/abused, into the 2nd hand market.
Running the rates routes.
Before a keelback existed.
First interdiction in.
First pirate killed in...amazingly¡
Good times.
I am playing Space engineers atm, and found a small crater on a good asteroid, start your video, and with the music you choose, and I am instantly sold on this one rock. Good job, now I have to get a Type 6 to transport my shit here.
(Btw, the ship is my first ever flying ship in SE. I took it the into space. I'm proud of it. :)
Not a bad ship to "rent" as a U-Haul when you need to do some reputation grinding and don't feel like going all the way back to your home port to fetch your Python or Conda or Type-10. Nice that it's cheap. I sold mine as soon as I was done with the grind, and I don't think I've thought about it since.
I’m not an Elite Dangerous player. I pretty much judge the ships on how nice they look. The Type 6 is the aesthetic gold standard 🏆 of all Elite Dangerous ships. A minimal masterpiece. Nice boxy angles. If it wasn’t flying in space, it would be showcased in a modern art museum. Glorious. 👍
Idk why but I love this thing so stinkin much. I quite like how it looks like a cardboard box/brick. It feels quirky.
I recently got enough money for the first time to buy a T6 and I love my little cardboard box. because of that label I named mine Spaceman Spiff, and I'm looking forward to doing a lot of hauling and exploring in it.
The exo-ploration king. Medium ship perhaps, but has the footprint of a DBX to land in tight spots.
Ngl the type 6 is my favorite ship design in the game and it’s such a great ship
Type 6 is great material collector.
These are like the MKBHD videos of elite dangerous. I love it!
I got my Type 6 (the FSS Kenworth) because the only mission I could find to up my nFed rank and get my Sol permit involved hauling 40 tons of cargo, which I was not going to do in a DBX...
My first bigger ship. I still kept going back to my Cobra Mkiii for fun. The T6 is so useful for making money, but it's just not that special to fly.
I went from a Cobra MK3 to the T6 when I started doing the original rare trade routes. It had three major pluses (all prior to engineering, which was not a thing in early 2015): jump range was decent, speed / boost speed was very good, and it carried way more rares than the Cobra. I absolutely loved that ship, but sold it to buy an AspEx eventually. Might have to grab one again for old time's sake.
