Description
This is the little gem of the collection.
This little buddy has bootstrapped my life.

The trips made with this ship:
1. 3303-07 to 3303-09 : Bubble -> Colonia -> Sagittarius A* -> Great Annihilator -> Bubble (32LY jump range)
2. 3304-01 to 3303-02 : Bubble -> Rendez-vous Point -> Beagle Point -> Bubble (55LY jump range)
3. 3305-03: Bubble -> Colonia -> Bubble (67LY jump range)
4. 3306-04 to 3307-02: Elite Dangerous Lore Tour : Bubble -> Zurara (67LY jump range)
5. 3307-05 : Bubble -> Family system (71 LY jump range)

With all these, that's the vessel that made me Elite in Exploration, and also got me most of my money.

Nowadays, with it’s 71 (74) LY jump range, I can also go where I want quickly if needed.

With the purchase of Heracles, I thought it might see less use in the future. But the Pilot Federation unlocked two new slots for the ship. Meaning it can now be outfitted for really long duration exploration (dual AFMU + repair limpet controller).

As my first true love of a vessel, it will always be in my heart and I will always be happy to take it for a little trip :-)

Below is an history of the ship evolution:
* Until 3303-09: no engineered module, and a 32LY jump range
* 3304-01: Same configuration than before but almost fully engineered, bringing the jump range to 55LY for the Beagle Point trip.
* 3305-01: with the Pilot Federation upgraded Standardized Ship Equipment Modules, that now include the FSS, one slot is freed, so the outfitting is changed to accommodate the biggest FSD Guardian Booster raising the jump range to 67LY.
* 3305-04: With the Pilot Federation and ship-makers providing a free upgrade to ships all across the board, two more slots are available, meaning the outfitting is improved by the addition of a Repair Limpet Controller and a cargo rack for the drones.
* 3307-02: Exchanged the FSD for the new « Engineered FSD V1 » sold by a Human Tech Broker. Jump range increased to 71LY
The ship loadout is unknown.
