The Perfect Anaconda Fit-out for Deep Exploration
25 Jul 2016Dj-slt-uk
So being my 3rd trip beyond 15,000lyrs from SOL I decided from experience on these long voyages that I must fit out an Anaconda that can do this;Jump atleast 30lys - was jumping 34.95lyrs per jump now only 32lyrs because;
We had decided to carry a 64 Unit Cargo Bay which is filling up fast with GOLD/SILVER/PANITE as I fitted a 2 Bin Refinery and mining laser so as I discover rich content planets I could load up the high-end cargo and will shortly off-load at Jaques Station which is about 8,000lys away from my Blackhole hunting ground.
*** Also learnt you don't need to carry Prospector & Collector Limpets as the cargo scoop grabs the fragments and slides them into the refinery bins ***
Just to top this great expedition off .... I decided to install a SRV hanger so I can land at planets of interest & also purchased a few shields so even if we fall asleep at the helm atleast the hull can take some damage....although we lost 6% after getting dragged into a blackhole....wished I recorded that....talk about hanging on for life!!
Oh and I still can carry Medium Gimballed Beam Lasers x 4 just to cover my tail - incase my cargo attracts unwelcomed visitors.
Having the right Power Plant and Power Distributor makes all the difference (Very Expensive Fitout)....there again having lots of power and slots as the Anaconda has just makes this trip great fun....lonely but fun!
Oh and for the record we jumped 13,000lyrs in a 9hr session ... a lot of jumping.....3 weeks left to get to Jacques Station - might explore a little bit since im about 8rs away (jumping & Fuel scooping only).
I highly recommend when you have the credits to get an Annaconda - its superb for Deep Space & Combat or Trading, oh and since most are jumping less than 30lyrs each time, we have higher chances of find more undiscovered systems (inbetween other cmdrs jumping capabilities.
Want to explore - test your wits in a Scout Explorer
Want to do everthing in Deep Space - Get an Anaconda - Its worth the price.
