The Type 7 Transporter - Hot Stuff! [Elite Dangerous Ship Review] 

I traded mostly and loved the Type 7. Back in the day it took a long time to make money and until you got the Python it was your best bet for quite a long time.

Agreed, pure cargo ship. Arm it with 3 small thermal vent beams and 1 mine launcher and you should be able to escape anything trying to rob you. Venting heat to make them loose target lock and drop mines behind you as you run to slow them down even more. Just make sure your Thrusters and Distributor are A rated for more boosting and to support the weapons.

i love my type 7, taken one to beagle point and back with 63ly of range, fought the thargoids with it, its an amazing ship.

The big boned ugly duckling! I love the T7, it's one of my top 3 ships. I love it for exploration, it carries everything I need, and more, without having a stupidly large footprint. I wish there were ship kits for it, as I'd like to differentiate my fleet of T7s.

if only it was a medium ship. but makes a great rescue ship.

Love my type 7, used it to build credits and rep to get my cutter, and its maneuverability makes it great for rescue ops, basically the only large ship that can be landed manually with any kind of speed.

Thanks for the review. The Type-7 is a very decent mass tourism ship aka a Robigo Runner. But please don't put any first class passenger cabins in it. No first class passenger would ever board any Type ship. Also the Type-7 is a great hospital ship for evac missions.

I made an explorer of all ships in elite and to be honest typr 7 has 55 ly range with shields and 2 srv. Its not bad. I got quite fond to it. But do put low emissions on the powerplant unless you're cooking bacon on the hood

I use my type seven for search and rescue operations

I enjoy trading, but definitely see why a lot of people don't. Initially the Type-7 wasn't a ship I cared for, but it did grow on me, especially after doing some trading in a Type-9. That fat cow is currently my least favorite in the game. I have 2 Type-7s now, 1 for trading & 1 for rescue missions. Take them out regularly. Hate that it's a large ship, as much as I hate that a Type-6 is medium. Both are oversized, & could've been fantastic at the smaller sizes.

See I love trading. It is easy money. Little effort for good solid rewards!

I personally think the ship looks pretty cool.

Top Tip on Power Plants. If you think can get away with a D Rate Power Plant, don't. The A Grade Power plant from the class below is lighter, produces more power and provides heat dissipation qualities. Never D Rate a Power Plant.

Actually one of the few ships I never owned. Didn't come to my mind, when I had the money the ASP Exp did it's job fine and the next ship was a Python. The Type 7 is just not an attracitve ship I must say, in all ways possible. But good video again and maybe I just step into one in some time. Probably and single flight and sell session

the type 7 is so underrated and i just dont get why some people always post vids its a bad ship? its a great ship with many tasks it can do. need a ship to rescue people from a burning station TYPE 7 does it best to save those people! gotta a friend who is outta fuel and needs repair guess who is great to hop on over to help out? yes its TYPE 7 again! great rescue ship has terrific maneuverability to rush in help out and scram when needed. my TYPE 7 has been the ship that has done many jobs very well and when engineered its even better. so please guys stop kicking the Type 7 and tell new players what this ship is great at bcoz it is literally a very good ship to have when needed!

That's my mining ship! She gets hot but still love her.

If only it was a little less tall it should really be a Medium sized ship not a Large.

Ah, it's old "Temperature critical". Will watch later...

Type 6 to dabble but I wouldn't bother until you have an Anaconda. A Type 9 Carries more but flies like a pig. A Cutter is great for ignoring pirates with shields for days but again, it flies like a pig. Being a tramp steamer captain in an Anaconda is very relaxing. You can follow your nose or get a nice A-B Trade route from Inara and chill out. If you do it in a team, you get a bonus of 5% equivalent of the profit from your team mate(s). Not my thing but Wing Trade missions with a few friend are meta for making cash.

So basically Type 7 is a piece of 💩
