Episparh It is a slow garbage with a joke of a shield still. AKA garbage.

Reference: Jinn


I know. Shut up. *cries* "It's OK, AspX. The mean commanders can't hurt you when you're in storage. Soon."

it never has been combat ship, STOP BULLYING IT with your egocentric opinoin. It's good utilitary and exploring ship, and yes, internal space is enough to be even descent warzone fighter

I know that SpecOps can spawn in AspX however their builds have nothing to do with what player can achieve but it is far from capable fighter even with specialized build.

Anyway, you miss the point - most of the players think that it's great to drops speed and shield values for few ly jump range. No wonders later they whine about how a gankers or thargoid blew them out to the rebuy screen.

...Can you solo three Hydras with AXMCs over a space station or in AXCZ?[/quote]
No I can not do solo 3 hydras in AXCZ and I doubt you could do it either in open space without repair facility nearby. All your pewing solo party only can be achieved by space ports safari.

Care to explain how does exactly repairing/rearming at a station differs from disengaging and doing the same via limpets and AFMUs, and synthing ammo? Okay, you can't repair the canopy if it's broken, or the power plant, but those are quite rare cases. I'm neither a child nor a retired granny, I don't have time to grind endlessly for materials if I can avoid depending on them at all, to spend more time on actual fighting.

I guess you're simply suffering from a hurt ego.

The utility and versatility of my AspX is why I was able to advance while using it for a variety of missions and why I continue to have it as my flagship.
For my part, I've out grown it now that I have an FC of my own, but I definitely enjoyed it and traveled well with it for quite a while.

I know a few people are making light about it and other ships in the thread, but I don't think anyone is bullying. I certainly don't feel bullied for flying mine.
People can have different opinions on ship(s) and how to play this game. Sure, if someone came in here and said, "Help me become unbeatable in my [enter ship here].", that's a tough ask as it has to do with skill of the pilot and skill of the opponents more than the ship.

I, for one, have enjoyed my AspX and, as mentioned before, will fondly remember it as the ship that helped me get my first Elite rank (in exploration).
(OK, that's it from me on the AspX silliness for now.) :-)

Is it bigger on the inside?

Yes, it is. The interior also has a 1970's BBC teleplay interior set aesthetic and plenty of very long scarves to choose from.

Apparently these are the internals of the Mandalay, coming out 22 October:

Core Internals: All size 5 except size 4 life support
Hardpoints: 4 Medium, 2 Small
Optional Internals: 6, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1
Don't know about the utility slots, this is taken from Reddit folks who watched the Twitch stream from FDev.

It looks almost like it has air intakes at the front, but unless the ZP designers decided to slap some old school jet engines on it (the appearance of the main thrusters does in part suggest an inspiration) that seems a little redundant. I suppose it's probably the reverse thrusters?

... they are making us choose between size 4 FSD booster or shields. Hopefully it will not have such paper ones as the Asp does. And where does this thing fit all those hardpoints? I see one placed on the underside where the wing goes into the body, presumably mirrored on the other side, but not much of a clue for the rest.

(And I completely forgot I'm logged into the wrong account on my laptop right now. Argh.)
