Hey it's Ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous beyond chapter four the
beta let's take a look at this crepe phantom we've been teased in previous
videos of crepe phantoms blowing up asteroids we thought ooh and we saw them
fly through nebulas with other objects but now it's been revealed and there it
is so the mark 2 has the firepower advantage over the Phantom because the
Phantom loses a large hard point okay and the fighter bait there's no fighter
V so for combat purposes you may want to lock and save your pennies for the mark
two seem to be the better choice so weird this where does the the fountain
place itself well it's cheaper right it's 37 million credits give or take a
few credits as opposed to 42 million credits even though that's an awful lot
of million credits while you just save your money and get something else you
know get a Merc - why would you I'd tease yourself for a lesser a lesser
ship I don't see what it's all about really anyway I mean the crate phantoms
top speed is 256 meters per second with a boot speed of 358 that pales into
insignificance I would say and compared to the Mamba which I think reported at
316 meters per second and a boot speed of 387 but I could be wrong I mean the
one in the video seemed to be engineered a hell of a lot quicker the Phantom is
the same number of internals as the mark - but is a smaller ship and therefore as
smaller internals everything indeed is smaller compared to that mark - it loses
one class 6 on one class 5 slot but then gains a class 4 and a class 2 slot
swings and roundabouts their class 3 shield generator we've mentioned the
cargo you know for traders they were cheaper options look at that federal
dropship it can also carry the same amount of cargo of 144 turns
and that's half the price of what you're gonna spend on one of these things so
yeah I mean the member I get it I see it it looks fast it's you know a cousin of
the further lands this smaller ship no fighter Bay can't carry as much cargo
smaller internals why would you bother anyway
carrying on we do think really though giving it smaller and the weight it's
280 tons of mass now the mark 2 is 320 tons it should get slightly better jump
range so you know some great mat tools have been engineered up to 57 light
years which is nowhere near what the anacondas and the asp explorers are
knocking on mean look at these jumper condors that are out there and you know
the biggest ship right it's a heavier ship so lighter could jump a bit if you
can't afford an ASP Explorer and how couldn't you or or even anaconda that's
a bit more pricey I suppose but if you're little jumping around
it's the Anaconda that you want well let's think about it right we kind of
all wanted that big honking battlestar galactica type ship that I mentioned in
my Mambo video you want to rock up massive ship Lauren sure your mates out
and crack on then we may see this later on you know you know fleet carriers new
mates we may see this in the paid content of next year but who knows but
it seems to be an awful lot of mid-range ships knocking around here I think other
people have said that as well I concur what they're saying let's think about
the fuel tank size right so fuel tank size it's only 16 tonnes well that's not
gonna get you very far is it so you have to use up to one of your the slots to
put an additional fuel tank in there make sure you got that fuel scoop fitted
because you're gonna be doing some scooping right at the stars now the mark
2 has got a 32 turn fuel tank well there you go it can carry vital
exploration tools it says the fuel scoop well I don't so with a 1610 fuel tank
you've got other units s RVs apparently it can carry those detailed surface
scanners well yes it can carry those FS D boosters yes yes it can right and then
it says well even a fighter B what if you wanted all that right oh I didn't
just buy a merc - anyway there you go umm it all depends on people go and
engineer this thing up how people start getting you know couldn't you
constructive with the engineer's right and creative with the engineers and see
how fast they can get things then with different permutations of the slots they
put in there is it gonna be Class D items all the way through just to make
it you know a viable ship in which case then what is the point I just don't know
what the point is which is a shame because I thought oh
the back of that ship does look better than the original I like that sort of
you know linear horizontal thruster method of this ship as opposed to the
other one anyway there you go like we say so you know yes it's cheaper but
which one would you buy would you keep the mark - regardless of that funky
engine configuration on the back or would you rush out with your credits in
hand and get on with a crepe phantom I think personally this should have been
the wrong this is the wrong way round I think the mark 2 should have been this
ship and then the crepe phantom of beat the upgraded ship I don't know what you
think let me know in the comments am I talking utter rubbish again let me know
but keep it civil right keep it civil keep it civil okay so let's look at the
stats then so yes very good we've got to medium hair points to large head points
and for utility mounts again lightweight alloys you've got a class 6 reactor bay
the alloys incidentally the maximum class you can have that is
eight thrusters yes class six frameshift drive class
five environmental control such a life support that is class five power
couplings and per the tribute is class six sensor suite classes for fuel store
yes indeedy is a class for shield generator class six and internal
compartments yes you have them but not too many given that a hundred and
forty-four tens of cargo so given the two ships so far all right
even though this looks good and I like that engine configuration at the back
right it's got to be the Mamba winning out so far but I'm not sure if I'd fly
them amber either I'm enjoying flying around in the crate mark - I think it's
great once I can get myself and get some materials and get it all engineered up
it's gonna be a hell of a lot better because it's bigger it's bigger it's
nimble you can see off an awful lot of ships again the crape phantom I think
it's reversed the crape Phantom should have been the in-game crate mark - and
the crate mark - right should have been this size of ship right the phantom
should have been bigger issue they've been stealthier it should have a lower
footprint you should have some sort of anti scanning technology anyway let me
know what you think you have already done something that like and subscribe
button look that notification icon and let me know what you think about this
video more videos inbound will I bring myself to go and do some mining who
