DBX and other uses?

[Spicy_Satoshi]

Besides exploration? Please give me examples of other worthy builds for this ship. Thanks in advance.

Like many ships in Elite, you can make them into whatever you want.

I've heard of people using them as combat ships.

With 6 internals its not going to be great for mining or piracy, but doable.

DBX does make a decent combat ship. One of only two small-frame ships with a Large Hardpoing, the other being a Vulture.

DBX does have an anemic power supply option though. It's one of the few ships that greatly benefits from Guardian power subsystems, namely the Power Distributor, which boosts power output by 4% (You heard me right, the Power Distributor actually boosts power output)

Because of the DBX (And DBS)'s excellent heat disappation ability, they make excellent Railgun platforms.

ive tried a railgun build on a DBS and it overheats after the first salvo, im not sure how you would turn that into a railgun platform

I don't think the DBX is very good for exploration. It's GREAT at *travel* inside the bubble, but for actual exploration - I choose another ship.

it is the choice of casual players because of all round goodness (price and beyond) i see more of these in open (larking around) than any other ship

What kind of powerplant and thrusters are you using? I might be thinking of the scout that makes the good rail sniper.

this was a good while ago so i dont really remember, but i can say the reactor was A rated

I use mine as a bubble taxi because of the huge jump range and only needs a small pad to land on. I tend to transfer bigger ships there, when I get to my destination.

I also use it for gathering engineering mats when visiting Davs Hope, Nuenets b3 , Koli Discii and of course the material traders.
