TYPE 8: The Multirole Freighter, Hauling, Mining & Exploration Tested
6,360
Published 2024-08-06
The latest ship to arrive in Elite Dangerous, the Type 8 Medium Freighter, lands in the game in paid early access tomorrow as I speak these words.
Just as the previous early access candidate, the Python mark 2, becomes free to access alongside the much anticipated rebalance to both Onfoot and Ship based Engineering.
We’ve had access to the Type 8 for the last week as part of the content creators partner program and in this video we’ll go through just what the ship is capable of. o7 CMDRs

"50 L/y jump range..." - okay, that's respectable "...With a 7A fuel scoop." - I should have worn my white trousers.

As we speak, AXI is already trying to keep up with enough achievements that will cover what their pilots will be doing next with the T8 such as killing a hydra using only mining lasers, killing two hydras with stock gear, killing a hydra blindfolded, killing a hydra blindfolded upside down using no sound cues with the ship powered off and only the force of mind, so on and so forth
-
Oh I love how this thing is a great miner. So excited to dance around, and crack asteroids with it!
-
Enjoying flying the Type 8, it's a nippy medium ship this one, for sure! 🌟❤
-
2:40 Man T8 looks like a low rider muscle car
-
Actually really looking forward to the rebalancing…much appreciated and much needed to mitigate the grind..Thanks Burr family..nice pre release overview.
-
It's like the lovechild of the Millenium Falcon, The Eagle 5 (lonestar's ship from Spaceballs) (the Nacells when extended at the back). and the "Space Trucker" asthetic from Alien. and I love it! o7
-
"cross breeding experiment between the Millenium Falcon and a bin lorry." 🤣🤣🤣
-
Thanks for the update :) I might be reaching into my pocket for this one.
-
Sorry Krait mk2 you're no longer my miner Good news, you are now the engi mat gatherer
-
Assuming it can be engineered to stay cold enough, I suspect this will be absolutely meta for Titan mining/biocapsule rescue missions
-
o7 CMDR Buur and thank you for the info. I really love the look of this ship and can not wait to do some core mining. This will replace my Anaconda mining ship.
-
Thank you very much for posting this. Honestly, this channel and Galnet News are the two best channels in my opinion. The right pace and speed of information delivery, precisely what needs to be said and not a lot of fluff. Big fan. Thanks for all you do.
-
I'm looking forward to getting behind the helm of the Python Mk2. I might treat myself and pre-buy the Type-8 this time! Also I hope the rebalancing is as good as it sounds!
-
I do BGS for fun and profit, and one of the mission types I try to avoid is the "Deliver 196 t of
to somewhere far away". This sounds like the ideal ship to double up missions and get twice the INF in the same amount of time, thus making these missions far more helpful if INF is in short supply. I wonder if it has the range to do two missions simultaneously (so 392 t of cargo) with an FSD booster of some description. -
Looks very nice. Even better once I can scrape some paint off it. Sold!

Been parked up in Hawkin's Gap for the last month or so. Hauled the proverbial ass back yesterday and arrived in the bubble last night to offload cartological data. Time to go shopping methinks.
-
The game seems to be slowly coming back alive. There's prolly three more systems to be revamped before we start adding new brand new game loops. The fleet carriers component., the on foot exploration component and the on foot fps component. This game deserves more love. These things should have been done ages ago. It's slow. But i see a bright future for this game if FDev keeps going in the right direction.
-
Thats the first LAKON ship that i like.
-
I am actually excited about the Type 8! o7!
