Ship details

SCG Mississippi is a ship that I built out with jump range as a primary focus. I usually like to have a lot of unnecessary elements, like shield boosters, and beam lasers for drawing on planets, but I didn't feel the need to add most of them on this ship. She still has some bells and whistles, like a class 5 shield, repair limpets, and a spare SRV, but compared to my other main explorer, SCG Euphrates, she definitely doesn't feel as luxurious. That's okay, though. I'm happy to have the extra ~15ly of jump range, and it's been proving very useful on my current expedition.

Mississippi isn't fancy, but she's reliable and fast. A more utilitarian ship to reach much further distances. I can't explain why, but the name 'Mississippi' just clicked for me.
