@@ProfessorCynicalI just found an amazing interceptor with a blue/white color scheme. I'm preparing to upgrade it and make it my main ship on this save.
I know this is late, but I *adore* this. My Freighter, even now that I've swapped it to a Pirate Dreadnaught, is always named "Event Horizon'. For obvious reasons.
Nice, a NMS horoscope. Or maybe a NMS fortune cookie. I normally look for the smallest ship that I can find. I've had the best luck with explorer's. Although I have found some tiny fighters in the past.
My favourite small ship is an exotic which I used to reach the centre of the galaxy in. It doesn't have wings or tall masts/ appendages, it's just a round blob with tiny thrusters on the back and its all blue, with black and gold detailing. I call it Monkfish and is maxed out on firepower and jump capability.
Love the video but here is my take on what it says about you if you main a: Shuttle: You have an affectionate and sentimental loyalty to your ship like it is an old faithful tool that has never let you down all these years. Even if other call it ugly or slow, you find everything about the shuttle endearing and comforting. Explorer: You are a hipster type of person who likes to be different and spontaneous without caring what others think or what the plan should be. Hauler: You are obsessed with maximum efficiency and practicality. Being sensible and reliable is more important to you that being the fastest or the coolest. You are also probably richer that others might assume. Fighter: You are a petrol-head speed-demon on a budget. You like to tinker with different aftermarket upgrades to make your fighter faster and cooler, even if you make yourself broke in the process. Solar: You are sexy but over-the-top. You are already attractive to others but you decide to be way too extra with flashy make-up and jewellery (yes I'm referring to the sails). Living: Idk I've never used one but the garden comparison is probably fair. Interceptor: You are willing to put a lot of time and effort into going through whatever loopholes required in order to obtain an extreme-looking supercar that will turn heads with all of its fancy features. You are even willing to spend a premium on specific fuel types that protect the engine and keep it running smoothly. Expedition ships: You're a grafter and very patient 😅
I drive solar for the fuel per distance of the thing. Good engines for pulse and takeoff. And I'm not very flashy or jewelry oriented in real life. However! In game, I always have to spend time getting my visual customization right. So that probably counts, yeah?
If your daily driver is a Living Ship here is what it says about you: Your the kind of person who looks into the tissue after you have blown your nose.
I've always looked at the shuttle as the dream vehicle for those who like RV camping. I'm a micro fan. My tiny shuttle and droid fighter were my go tos, until I grabbed an interceptor flea, which is precise as heck, and blistering fast once the pulse engine is upgraded. Never had so much fun weaving in and out of planetary geology and fauna, and circumnavigating the planet's atmosphere from pole to pole lickety split. I named mine "What In The World" (All my ships are titles of David Bowie songs)
Thank you, Professor Cynical, for this hilarious video! You always seem to come up with something special to enjoy or think about when the day is not going well. I like how your mind works.
What my ship says about me is I'm probably somewhat of a scatter brain. I've had a couple of baby shuttles I called the Epitome of Cuteness. I've got a nice explorer. The same one Sword used to have. I've still got it. I like the long pointed nose fighters preferably with a single thruster. I also still have the long nose fighter Jason Play had a few years ago. I don't care for the hog nosed fighters. I also like the cute little Rasa's with the halo. I pretty much need a fan winged or baller hauler to decorate the freighter. I have a living ship. That's about it for the living ship. I like the pointed nose solar ships. As far as them being green I also install the solar recharger on my other ships. I should like the new Interceptors. I love the hovering capability. I don't like the dash extending so high. I feel like my seat is lowered so much I can't see over the dash to know what's happening in front of me.
This was such a great & funny video! Well done! Now you need to break down the types of fighters & their aficionados (jet people, hotrod people, etc.).
I love this video... One of the best ones from you in recent times... Although I don't agree with everything, it's a great video. Thank you for it. GGF
Thanks for this wonderful video Professor Cynical. If you mentioned which one you fly I missed that. I hope Floury Squirrel sees this for the Living Ship definition! I hope all NMS players watch this one - well done
My interceptor might pilot like a flying tank, but i can vaporize pirates in a single burst, the only fuel i need is radiant shards, and i look hecka intimidating. 😁
Ok 1. How did you nail the song I sing in my head when I take off in my solar ship. And 2. I don't really have a two I'm still just feeling attacked about the first one
😭 im still flying the shuttle i had since the game launched. Upgraded it from c to s class and none of my other ships compare. All of them only do 1 thing *slightly better* than my old girl 🚀
LOL I have that exact same exotic ship, and it's fucking true, I always walk when in the anomaly as I own the place. But if I want trouble I'll go with my sentinel.
*Audio Clipping to hell and back*: If you want to get dynamic like that with you VO, I'd recommend moving away a bit from the mic, normalizing the level on edit, and add a dynamic compressor. This now is quite hard to watch/listen to, even at a low level.
Like you... tiny ships. yes, I noticed. "Here comes the sun" ..that was so Englishman lol But I do like fighters and exotics just so I can get around faster.. Exotics have stupidly OP stats in my experience, without the deficiencies of the other classes... but fly WHATS SMALLEST so I can fit my ship anywhere (and no clipping through space station walls).
Thanks professor someone just told me im all of those thi gs ecept for solar ship. Is only ship i dont have never flewa hauler or shuttle pr explorer ship. Just living eotic sentinal star bor runner and utopia speeder and my living ship looks just like yours. My extoic is lil baby Guppy dual thusters white. My 2 hot rods are really sweet also. Everytim im in them in enomaly everyone comes over to check them out. Great video thanks professor 💯💯💯🪐🌙🌌🌠
