BolasieReally good to see all this great advice for explorers, but IMHO, I would bin the DBX and get yourself an AspX. There will be those who disagree. I am sure their mothers love them too!
LordPsymonThe DBX looks better and has plenty of room to stretch your legs. Have you seen the size of its cockpit? It ain't small.

You bet I prefer the Asp Explorer over the DBX. If you're going out into the black you want to have at least a little comfort and space. DBX is for those who don't need to take a leak for several thousand lightyears. Cramped cigar casket it is in my eyes.
LeytraBeluga makes the best explorer IMO. It's nice and comfy, handles really well and looks damned pretty.
ScubadogPogomorphArtieProblems in the game? Are you looking for something? Do you have anything else on your mind? Feel free to discuss it here.
Hi-
have kitted out an Anaconda for Xploration, with good jump range of @ 52 LY unladen, with Grade 4 FSD Mod and Guardian FSD Booster. Great, I say, i'm on my way to check out Colonia, following a trip to Mammon. Only 372 LYs to go! Also kit out with 1 x crew for fighter (for a lighter craft Xploration of valleys and canyons etc and SRVs.
I land on an unexplored planet to gather materials, in an insignificant system in the middle of nowhere, go for a coffee, come back 30 mins later and message says "your ship has been destroyed", to which I exclaim WTF! No cargo on board, so not exactly a Pirate Magnet.
Playing in Solo mode until i get to Colonia...is this a glitch or have is there something going on I'm not aware of? Any (polite) suggestions welcome.
back at Mammon monitoring station and 12, 000,000.Credits lighter.
Cheers CMDRs

Look me up when you arrive in Colonia. My home station is Colonia Dream (Ratraii system). I have never had a ship blown up while unattended on a moon/planet, and I always play Open. Well, except one case, and that was totally my ignorance. It hadn't occurred to me that keeping the game running (after landing on a planet) while I went out to take care of errands would end up using all my fuel. I had jumped to a system with very little fuel left (the system had a fuel star), but I decided to set down first. I guess I was gone long enough that, even just sitting, the ship burned through my remaining fuel and self-destructed. I can't imagine what must have happened in your case.
Fly safe!
LordPsymonThe one time I got ganked was hilarious. The guy pulled me out of SC, demanded I wait while I get scanned for cargo. He fumbled around like an idiot and I was like "are you going to scan me or not?"
After another few seconds he said "Hold on..." and I was like "lol, nope. Laters," and boosted out to safety.

Looks better? But we're talking about the DBX, the one that looks like a cricket...

That's why it looks better.
I don't even have anything to compare what the Asp looks like... nothing I would mention in polite discourse, anyway.

From what I remember it needs some serious engineering though due to the generated heat right? It does have the most / biggest windows to look through, I'll give it that.
But when exploring on your own I still prefer a compact ship.
