With engineering every ship can be bubble taxi but Hauler is probably the most limiting, excluding sidewinder. Although it have good jump/price ratio this apply only if you skip on SRV and anything else that may matter.
P. S. It is fine If you have fun with it. But the facts are facts and you may be misleading people who are not aware of them.

EpisparhIs this somekind of early April's fool day or what?
The only ship that is worst than Hauler for exploration is the sidewinder. https://edastro.com/exploration/#shiplist (ready the score criteria and sort the table by score)
This ship is worth only in 2 cases:
- Early r2r ship. (just out of n00b district)
- Cheap taxi which you transfer for almost no CR and go to fly your actual ship.
... Being a meme is another option, but that's another thing.
Why is the Hauler a good exploration ship? Because for 3M Cr you get all you need.

I literally just took a screenshot on my Xbox of my hauler with its jump range at it's new maxe range of 62.59ly
I'm definitely not joking

Thanatos au GrimmusFor all round versatility and bang for the buck, I still think the Cobra MkIII is king. After all, what was CMDR Jameson flying just before he went down?
The Cobra is perfect to go down with a bang.

OldarBladebornCan't argue with the Cobra Mk3, even tho i prefer a python or krait. It's a good ship.
The ship has a special place in my heart. The only time I ever called the Fuel Rats was on my 3rd day of playing and guess what I was flying? I thought I was so smart to have a fuel scoop. Unfortunately, I didn't know about KGB-FOAM at the time.

OtohaOptional internal capacity is of minor importance to an exploration ship. Im not hauling goods or passengers, just myself and an SRV. Yes, in my exploration hauler im using every optional slot to it's maximum ability, and it certainly took serious effort and engineering to make it work. But it works better than any ship I've ever used for the stuff i ACTUALLY spend time on the most, like jumping around and farming mats. And for those 2 things and a few others, it cannot be beaten
Can you expain how you farm mats? I have a slight feeling that you may need information how to do it better.

Faster =/= better
I don't waste time with limpets. You're talking to a guy who spends his time in almost 100% FA off on an elite controller, doing high tier combat primarily out of a dropship.
I'm not your average player

EpisparhSakashiroInsurances on an exploration ship? For what?
For the the misclick one can make while half asleep or not paying attention to stuff.
probably shouldnt be playing if you're half asleep
