Ship details

The pride of my little exploration fleet. Her interior's somewhat spartan and barebones since we had to tear out as much non-essential gear as we could to squeeze every last bit of range out of the frame shift drive, but even with those modifications she turns like a pregnant whale in both sublight and superluminal speeds.

I can't really complain; despite her shortcomings, the combination of jump range, endurance, and self-sufficiency makes her perfect for going out into the black, and we even managed to cram a fighter hangar in her belly... though it did take several days of agonizing contemplation to decide whether it was worth losing some range for an SLF bay.

So far she's performed admirably in a quick sprint to Colonia during the third phase of the Colonia Bridge project. The secondary fuel tank we installed gives her double the endurance of Armchair Traveller, allowing for significantly longer stretches without refueling stops.

I'm presently taking her on a trip to Beagle Point and Ishum's Reach, and will be returning to the Bubble once I've fulfilled that milestone. She's admittedly turned out to be rather unwieldy both in supercruise and on planetary surfaces, so once I get home, I may relegate her to galactic rim expedition duties and revert to Armchair Traveller as my primary exploration vessel.
