iEagle : fastest engineered racing ship. Easily gets into thermal problems.

iCourrier : best shields on a small ship, fastest engineered combat or exploration ship. Bubble fighter canopy. Very light hull.

Orca : best yaw IIRC.

Asp scout : sucks at everything. Jack of no trade master of nought.

- Sensitive to changes in mass, can cause large difference in speed and jump range.

Some extra info, since I saw boost stats posted for the Cutter.
Clipper and Orca
+ 441 m/s boost (unmodified)

Him too. Thought it makes a nice starter mining ship. Only role the mk4 is remotely good at.

Excuse me, I'm playing Rick Sanchez 3L-173 with the following play restrictions:

Rick is a known troll, so Open Only.
His ship needs to hide in a garage so small ships only.
He doesn't give a flying fruit about looks, so no repairing paint jobs.
His ships eventually become old beaters so he will never fix integrity.

The Cobra Mk4 will be his "end game trade and mining ship."

It's an awesome ship if you are sticking with small ships. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever...

What's wrong is that this game has NO SMALL SHIP ONLY gameplay AT ALL. (sorry for shouting).

Nice collection of tips... +REP (wow, didn't have to spread the love around.) Will add them next time I'm at my PC.


So It's official, the Asp Scout has NO REDEEMING FEATURES. LOL.

Asp Scout: only 2x medium +2x small ship with a C4 PD. Thats actually a pretty big thing, even more so when you add the agility. A shame my Sidey post got ignored, lets see what happens with this one. :p

Trying to address a few of the less obvious aspects...

Dropship: +cheapest effective hull tank. (Edit: not entirely true as a competent pilot could quite conceivably make a reasonable hull tank of an AspE)

Federal corvette: +best placed modules for protection of the big 3.

iClipper: -pretty much the most appalling hardpoint convergence of anything combat worthy

DBS/DBX: +Can confirm these as the lords of cool running

FDL: +most popular PvP ship

Will add relevant things as I remember them.

Good page but definitely could do with some reorganisation.

I'm sorry if I've "ignored your sidewinder post," I still have a few posts to add to the table... I'm composing the table in an editor, so can't do it from my iPhone.

But seriously, finding a plus for the Asp Scout is moving into Meeseeks Territory.

Please help me find a redeeming quality for the Asp Scout:

I see where you're going but please compare it to the Diamond Back Explorer
it is a Small, not medium ship, has 1 Large instead of 2 small, has excellent weapon convergence.
has a MUCH smaller hitbox, has stronger base shields, is faster, has all the same modules except lighter and cheaper sensors and better FSD granting 25% extra jump range - the longest in the game, has a higher MLF...
And is half the price.

going to need a little bit more :D

AspS is also outclassed by the AspE pretty much all around, where the DBS is an entirely combat capable variant of the DBX.

The DBS has a nice little niche place in the game. It has its fans (who tend to be silent running stealth nuts and smugglers, but that's by the by... LOL :D ). It costs a shade over 500k, but the next ship able to mount 4 heat sinks costs nearly 2MCr!!!


Can't rep.. Need to spread the love around...

This thread is really bringing out some nerdy ship pr0n details...

Loving it!
