The Alliance Chieftain Review : A Ship to Save Humanity? [Elite Dangerous]

The Alliance Chieftain from Lakon Spaceways in Elite Dangerous, is a ship designed from the ground up with a singular purpose - to save humanity from the Thargoid threat. Given it's low cost though, is it a good choice for your fleet?
In this video, I go through my personal impressions on this ship.

For me, the Chieftan is the short king of combat ships. It's small, agile and takes so much punishment you'd think it has a thing for it. Add on the fact that it's hardpoints are better than most other ships (even ones costing 5x and weighing 100x), there's almost nothing that packs the same overall package

I wish f-dev had gotten their stuff together 4 years ago. I just can’t care enough to try again. The chieftain was one of my favorite ships and my best for anti Zeno for years.

I outfitted a Chieftain for exploration just to make a stupid ship. It's an atrocious build and the AspX is so much better at it for less credits but it does feel like cheating to squeeze 55 Ly out of a combat vessel, even if it can't fight at all in that configuration.

I don’t know, I’ve grown to like federation designs, sort of.

I almost bought a chief but i got talked into a krait mkii. still gonna buy a chief next tho but this krait just isnt the moves.

I'm a Fed girl, love my Vette, but I'm going to have to give this bird a try. Thanks, Commander! O7

The current chieftain canopy design is actually shared with the diamondbacks

[@alezandercorben4122]

Best ship in the game.

[@comandantegorrion7271]

Honestly, I had great fun taking my chieftain, Dirae, out to crack some Xeno skulls in the first days of the Thargoid incursion, but I’ve settled back into my SRB PAs to defend the Alliance from an equally vile threat: pirates. I’m just not quite good enough without friends or with FA off to take on a real Thargoid, and popping the little ones is only satisfying for so long.

[@Ninja_star-rj5vn]

the chief is my fav ship in my dock, and I have a krate mkII, I can do 2-3 mil bounty runs with it

[@chivayos]

Good video series you got there mate, keep it up!!

[@HouseShaw]

I picked one up just for the looks and was immediately surprised by its capabilities in combat. After outfitting my engineered modules, it’s my favorite ship next to the anaconda.

[@eliteengineerdaz]

My favourite AX ship, good video 👍

[@FrozenKombat]

Dude make a video for every ship, you rock

[@NietoKT]

My friend made a month long event, where he took his multipurpose anaconda and turned focus a bit towards the jump range... Then told us to catch him, while he flew away towards colonia.

What does my missle rack always shows up empty in my Chieftin?

[@mrthekiller5994]

I can buy it in xbox? Without the horizons expansión?

[@MarkOleksander]

Intro music?

[@OmnizWrath]

why all good ships have no auto docking? or am i missing sumthing

[@steventurner197]

The chieftain is a good ship but the Challenger is superior as it has greater armor and 7 hardpoints the maneuverability not as good as the chief but there is so little between them its worth sacrificing it for the greater amour and the increase in hardpoints
