hang on what's this industrial sale new ship kits for elite dangerous let's take a look
well investigation has shown that these are available for the cobra mark iii great mark
ii asp explorer python anaconda and type 6 and type 9 and feature additional spotlights
something i've been banging on about by doing exploration for ages i can't wait
hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous ooh big day and a surprise on a
friday as well with the hazard packs available for the anaconda crate cobra python type 9 asp
explorer and type 6. oh i tell you not so bad take my many because they've got
they've got additional spotlights
each one of these kits are coming in at thirteen thousand five hundred and twenty arcs each and
as of the date twenty fourth the seventh twenty twenty two here is the current price list for
arcs on the printer store now you can earn arcs by doing things inside the game or you can get
your real world wonga out and make a little bit of a purchase now as we can see each one of these
lovely industrial ship kits is knocking around the door about 7.99 eight british pounds that sort of
thing so expensive i suppose really you can earn the stuff in game but it's quicker if you really
want to get them and go exploring with headlamps to get to the arc store and make a purchase
now i must i was absolutely ecstatic about this i've long said about having additional spotlights
bolt-on spotlights on the ship did somebody hear me did someone actually watch my stream did they
watch one of my videos who knew all i'm concerned about is now we've got them and it does look quite
good and functional even with or without the paint jobs that you can put on them there are a lot of
people who say well you know are you paying for extra in-game functionality personally i'm happy
to have that little bit of extra functionality is a little bit of extra light really
pay to win it is a change of policy personally i don't think so but by all means let me know in the
comments if you think this is a drastic change in policy and you're not gonna partake in it
like i said you know in-game functionality on the increase
could be the way forward so i thought i'd go and make some purchases in the old ark store myself
and see what all this is all about and what sort of effect it has on perhaps say some of the darker
areas of the game that i've been able to visit lately and wish there'd be a little bit more light
so here we are in a friendly neighborhood ship taking a good look at ship kits so into livery
let's check out the spoiler what have we got and straight away you can see
right um the hazard spoiler kit lots of drums you got your light cluster as well of course we've got
other stuff like the raider spoiler kits and other spoilers as well that you could potentially buy
so we're not new to ship kits at all whatsoever this is the first time some of these ship kits
have actually been functional so we're going to apply that to this particular crate that i've got
knocking around um and then we're going to go back and then onto the wings as well we
have the option here as well to put the hazard wings on and straight away you can see you know
the nice sort of like spindly protrusions at the side of the wings we've got some sort of like you
know industrial guard around them which is what you'd expect because it's an industrial ship kit
let's plonk that on next up what we got the tail yes the rear not too much to put
on there some some little flaps you know um it's not too bad let's plonk them on uh
and they're moving on to the bumper the front the nose of the ship of course the raider pack
um is there as well and then here we go this is the one we want the hazard bumper
bumper one that's quite good for additional protrusions you know all that sort of stuff
they're like yeah look at that that's what you want good bit of scaffolding around as well so
boom there you go we've equipped it now you can't really tell what's going on here um because we're
in a hangar bay but in just a moment we're gonna get out and have a look now with this comes also
additional hazard paint jobs so here we got the nice yellow got the hazard support
and of course all the ship kits change color in accordance to the [ __ ] you put on
uh here's me christmas effect you can see it's turned in nice blue so that's a good
function whereas like you know i was a little bit disappointed i think with some of the other ship
kits that were for example rusty and looking rusty on a nice clean say imperial cutter so that that's
a good function uh so some good um paint jobs here as well uh we're gonna go with i think yellow
cause it's nice to see what goes on there and we'll put that on right away so with all that done
let's get to the surface and have a good look around this particular ship here we have our crate
on a landing pad and you can have a good look around the embellishments that you've just put
on the ship lots of industrial scaffolding pipes and things as well protecting certain
parts of the ship you've got those flaps on the back which don't do anything at all whatsoever
and then just look like their flaps you've got barrels here there and everywhere lots of pods
what i do particularly like is this cover around the sides of nacelles or sensor array whatever
that is on the side of the crate and of course we've got these sort of like um cluster canisters
all the scaffolding on the front of this though i have to say i mean if you're a commander who
likes a bit of combat this is more than likely going to obscure your view so you might want to
leave the bump a bit out this part here i thought also was another light cluster but apparently it
isn't i'm not sure this is an emission on the dev side of things but you can see you've got two
spotlights right there that are on to give you impression of a little bit of additional light
two clusters and the chin and one just to the side of the mandible guns that come down
so in short great it does look fantastic this particular crate
but does it give you any additional light this is the question i mean the video that we've seen
does give the impression that it does give you some light but how useful are they really
so here we are at the side of the mega ship all in darkness no ship kit top
left hand side the ship kit bottom right hand side as you can see as we're moving around
with the light i'm trying to get to an area where there's not an awful lot of light
pollution from the engines and what have you um with the ship kit i think it is illuminating it
a bit more i would say um it is very difficult to ascertain um so you see the no ship kit at the top
then at this point here you can say yes there is an additional bonus of having the additional
lights on with the ship kit and those additional spotlights as you would assume so there you have
it ship kits industrial ones additional lights what do you think are they a worthwhile edition
in-game or they're an expensive embellishment let me know in the comments let me know if you think
it's a worthwhile edition i've been ricardo thanks very much for watching and i'll see you soon
you
