ASP Scout or Explorer?

[natty]

Going 100,000LY very soon, need to know if ASP Scout will keep me alive with no weapons for max FSD jump range.

Asp Scout may well be the most under-appreciated hull in the game. It's a great little Multipurpose ship and fully equipped for Exploration it's only half the price of an Asp Explorer. But most players would rather do whatever a Youtube video tells them than think originally and so the Scout rarely ever gets used.

Try this. https://coriolis.edcd.io/outfit/asp_scout?code=A0p8tdFaldddsif4----020232f4v62i2f.Iw19kA%3D%3D.Aw19kA%3D%3D.H4sIAAAAAAAAA2P%2BJ8XAwPCXFUjw3%2F7%2B%2F79QEz8Dg8hWAQYGiX5OBob%2F%2FwGNC4tRIQAAAA%3D%3D

Cost is very low at 9.9 million without discounts, it's tough enough and long ranged enough to get you 100K LY and back if you treat it gently and it's fast enough to evade most interdictors. A comparable Asp Explorer would have a slightly longer range but would cost twice as much.

Lol. hello, Wolfey.
What is the Scout's stock jump range?

26.58 with that build I linked and A-Rated FSD, 12.34 with E-Rated.

Sh!t.
I thought it was 38, like the ASPX by default.

[Arya]

No, it's got a smaller FSD than the AspX and that effects range. If you want ultimate jump range, get an AspX. Just be aware that it's literally twice as expensive.

[Ildryn]

While the asp scout is under rated and is a decent ship.
You would still be better off with a AspX.

If your 100k ly trip has a time limit take the AspX.
If you want to scan more systems on your way. Take the AspSC.

You can also engineer both ships FSD to get considerably more range if you so desire.

I just want to explore for fun, ♥♥♥♥ the money.

AspX then, more internal space, much better range and a fantastic runabout for when you get back home - it's Elite's equivalent of the family pickup truck. It'll do absolutely everything with reasonably well.

What about a Keelback?
what's its unmodified jump range?

Great hull, but not really comparable with an ApX for maximum range. It's more of a multirole in-the-bubble cargo and passenger transport and light combat ship.

[natty]

Well, if anyone could look up or give me the link to that one site (forgot the name) that shows the closest place to buy a ship, I'm gonna go check out ships with good jump range.

Just pick a hull, click Where to Buy and put in your current location.

If money is no object get the Anaconda. Mod it's FSD you can pull 52+ ly without neutron charging.

[natty]

I am using a DBX for now.
I'm not getting an Anaconda any time soon, Anyways i give 0 ♥♥♥♥♥ about money as long as i'm having fun.

If I had to go far away on a budget I'd go T6. Less thermal capacity, but roomier. Pretty damn good jump range, too.
