CPO-OzzPlus it's starting to become a nightmare with all my modules spread across the bubble so consolidation would be a big plus.


You know, you can pay credits and time to have those transfered wherever you want. Aside from the big 3, the Asp is really the best multipurpose ship. Diversify and specialize your ships now. I run T-9 for cargo, Dolphin to explore, FDL for pew-pew and Orca for making money.

Do you include the python in the 'big 3' ?

The big three are Conda, Cutter and Corvette. No Beluga and no python.

Yea but not sure which ship to step to from the asp. I went T-7 to Python. I own a clipper but purchased only recently to use. And haven't spent enough time in it to really recommend it one way or another. It seems nice.. haha.

I can tell you that you will absolutely love your python when you get it, it is very good at everything in the game, except PvP. Awesome cargo capacity, great hardpoints. Only specialized ships beat it in any catagory. Except PvP. Even engineered you don't want to try it.

I should clarify that those comments about the python are based on the price point. Just to ward off comments telling me that the anaconda and cutter are better. Yes, yes they are.

I don't plan on getting a Python, I don't like the looks. I don't want a Conda because everyone goes for one. As for what ship comes after the Asp, the answer is "many". DBX or Dolphin for exploring (even tho the Asp is the premier exploration ship). For passenger hauling nice Orca or Beluga. Python, T-7 or T-9 for cargo. For war, the FDL is probably next. The questions you should ask yourself are: "What do I want to do?" and "Do I want a theme?". My answers are "Everything" and "Saud Kruger because why not?".

You can use Big-4 all you want, no one'll stop you. I'll use Big-3 or Big-5 because primes.

Big Five? Anaconda, Type-9, Beluga, Corvette, and Cutter? I like the sound of that. Big 3 is just a symptom of the min/maxing mentality anyway.

What's wrong with Meta? Walk the path someone else has forged . Get creative once you have time to burn. But if you want to slam objectives meta is the quickest point to B

Or meander through the verse I suppose. It is sandbox.
