Type-10 Defender as a passenger ship?

[malorob]

would this make a good passenger ship or is there something better at around 100mil?

thanks community for your help

Python is far better. The Type 10 is fun for mining though :P

are you aiming to carry multiple un-named passengers, or give sightseeing tours to individuals?

my aim is one desternation but with lots of passengers.

i currently have a python with economy only but the private passenger take one whole cabbin to them selfs....

so need more room.....

so i thought type 10 is slow but a crap load of space and very tankey so if i am interdicted i can submit then cruze away with to much worrie. but this is just a theroy..... thats why i ask.

I have an A-rated but unengineered T10 and it handles like a brick in SC. So I imagine I would have to submit to interdiction a lot. My Python, on the other hand, handles well in SC so I never need to submit to interdiction.

No, Type 10 is slow fat, easy target and gets shredded easily from behind. You should just go for the Anaconda or Beluga but for bulk transports Python is best right now until you can afford the Conda.

considering you can't have bigger than size 6 i would suggest you go for the type-9 over type 10. for bulk passengers (and the fact that the type-9 is cheaper), but you will have more fun sticking to your python due to it's better maneuvrebility.

for "special" passengers i would suggest you get an orca instead as that can fit luxury cabins. (non-liner ships can at best fit first class).

Type 10 is a rich mans toy.
Orca is great if you don't want the hassle of Beluga slot managment.
Orca is agile to escape interdiction.
Orca can submit and escape with it's high speed.
If you add engineered fast charge FSD and engine focused distributor you are untouchable.

having max size 6 economy should lower the weight which in turn should help overall "speed, jump and so forth in theroy"
i also noticed the new update will give this a better power supply turning from 6 to 7 in the 3.0 update so could be helpful

worst case trade in and revert back lol

it already has S7? that was added a while ago now. but it's still not a good passenger ship. ok as an armed trader, but for passenger missions you are better off with a python or something medium/large size wiht long jump range (for sightseing missions etc.)

and considering a decent amount of "special" passengers can spawn enemies and they get distressed while the shields are down, having something that can shield tank can be usefull.

low budget passenger ship: Type-6/Cobra mkIII/IV

medium budget: Python

High Budget (sardine hauling :3): Anaconda.

just had the type 10 for short time now off to buy a anaconda to compare....

no need to go buy one just to test. the anaconda can carry 186 passengers, without shields.

the type-9 can carry 130 without shields.

the anaconda also has 11 optional internals compared to the type-9's 9 for those pesky cabin hogging special passengers.

sorry, i miss-calculated. the anaconda can carry 202, not 186.
