Diamondback Explorer

I made a some what rash decision this evening, missions were slow, freight was slow, I was in the hanger looking over the three ships I have acquired. I had plans on replacing the eagle with another ship. I was holding off until a had build up the credits and a larger buffer of credits for outfitting and replacement. I had finished the maintenance on the Diamond back scout, I was looking at the Eagle and decided I was completely tired of it.The scout has completely filled the role I intended for the eagle, and has surpass it in every way, I flew the Eagle over to Duffy Port an sold the Eagle. I had been thinking a lot of what the next ship was going to be, it has always came down to ether the ASP Explorer or the Diamondback Explorer. I went with the diamondback for price point and outfitting cost. I will wait for the ASP, I am not ready for that type of investment in a ship at this point.
I decided on the Diamondback Explorer simply because I have been so impressed with the scout. I am sure the explorer will fill my needs just as well. I plan on using it for a medium range explorer, and planetary salvage. those roles it should do very well. For now she will mostly explore the hanger deck as I make some more credits to start outfitting her and having her repainted.
