I like using the 6B on my exploration Asp. Way cheaper than the 6A and refueling only takes a few extra seconds.
Cost: $7.19mil

Good idea, and because there is no weight to a fuel scoop you don't get the normal penalty.

Or use a Class C at only 1.8M, available from the same places it seems.

Hi

XeBeth was right. I did not realise that the large numbers next to the module compartments indicated what size module it could take onboard. I did some re-jigging about and here's my current set up:


Dermy Bud IV

Thanks guys

Thanks guys

Personally I'd tweak it to something like Dermy Bud IV alternative

(I may have overwritten your build, apologies if I did )

You want me to get rid of shield boosters!!! Are you crazy!!!!

What do heat sinks do?

Good alternative, Xebeth.

I was thinking going a step further..... change the sensors from B to D, put a 5A AFMU in the slot where Myrm had the shield generator, put the 3D shields in a 3 slot, and there is room for another SRV hangar.

Between the tweaks that Xebeth did and mine, the ship is $1.5 mil cheaper and has a jump range that is 4.5 ly longer. If you setup the power management how I have it, just keep the AFMU and 2nd heat sink powered down until needed. If it were me, I'd power down the SRV hangars too, until you need them. (less power consumption equals less heat generation)

Nice Good changes.

[Myrm]

But what do heat sinks do? And why do you think it's better for me to lose the shield generates which will make my shields weaker? Considering I have no weapons that seems like a crazy idea to me.

Some more tweaks here

Rationale:

- A rated AFM are significantly more expensive than their B rated variants and carry less repair material. They are slightly slower in repairing, but that is an acceptable trade-off in my eyes. As AFM have a weight of 0, the usual penalty for B rated does not apply.

- Since an AFM cannot repair itself, going with just AFM is risky. If you screw up a landing and break your single AFM, you are dead.

- Using one class 4 hangar with two SRV instead of two class 2 hangars saves 2 tons and frees up an internal slot. With some sorting, you can fit two 3B AFM now.

Result: Ship cost reduced by 7 million credits, jump range increased by .8 LY.

Personally, I'd drop one or even both heat sink launchers, but I do not throttle down in hyperspace or for fuel scooping, either.

and again ... what do heat sinks do?
