Db scout is nice and fun
I used one as a backup when I was testing out a clipper.
Now after the mission/bounty changes not being able to dock at outposts and cash in bounties was very annoying.
The vulture is really something, especially against larger npc targets like the pythons and conda's.
You just target power plant and tuck in on their blind spot and unless you mess up you don't get shot.
Even clippers get out turned, but those are probably the only npcs that has given me problems if I wasn't on the ball.
But the clipper could outrun anything, carry 100+ cargo and still go bounty hunting. Its expensive though compared to the vulture, mine got up to 47mil and it still wasn't fully upgraded you could fully kit a vulture for less than the cost of the clippers hull, and the rebuys are world's apart.
