What Exploration Fleet Will Take on Your Carrier?

Cmdr Travers

Cmdr Travers
I'm going to take my fleet carrier "Odyssey" right around the outer edge of the galaxy, to the very top and bottom, and also give myself plenty of opportunity to explore within the galaxy too. My projected flight plan is below. I anticipate the whole journey will take about two years. Then I'll either donate the carrier to the DSSA or will be able by then to build some bases out in the black they can use instead.

I've built what I think is a suitable fleet to take with me on this journey, to give me all the different types of ships I'd need, along with a very wide variety of engineered and ordinary modules so I can retrofit those ships on the fly for different purposes. I'm wondering what fleet you'll be taking on your own journey into the deep black? This is mine...

ADDER
"Starbug"
36ly jump range
A small, fun to fly ship equipped for exploration

COBRA Mk IV
"Defiant"
37ly jump range
My everyday ship of choice, equipped for exploration

IMPERIAL EAGLE
"Spitfire"
23ly jump range
A fun small ship for exploring stellar phenomena

ALLIANCE CHALLENGER
"The Elmer Fudd"
30ly jump range
Equipped as an anti-Xeno ship (you never know) and for exploration

ASP EXPLORER
"Galileo"
61ly jump range
Designed to get me to the very top and bottom of the galaxy, as well as to the outer edges when used with Jumponium

PYTHON
"Liberator"
36ly jump range
An everyday ship equipped for exploration, can be retrofitted for mining

ANACONDA
"Voyager"
76ly jump range
A jumpaconda, equipped to take me to the very outer edges of the galaxy that my Asp Explorer cannot reach
This ship is mostly D-rated to give it maximum range, but A-rated modules are stored so it can be used for other purposes

FEDERAL CORVETTE
"Scorpio"
28ly jump range
A combat ship (you never know) that can be retrofitted as an anti-Xeno ship (again, you never know)

TYPE-10 DEFENDER
"Challenger"
38ly jump range
My main mining ship for Tritium collection

RETROFITS
Everything is available to retrofit some of my ships for the roles of MINING and SEARCH & RESCUE.

I think I'll end up converting quite alot of infrequently used Ships into Scouts and Exploration/Other hybrids, since there's no other sensible use I can currently see for parts of my fleet.

My own Campaign into the Arcadian Stream will have my Carrier sitting in areas of high star density, so none of the typical and large jumpranges needed to scout out even large bubbles of space.

There'll be 41 Ships onboard either way, so anything from Exploration to AX Combat is covered.

I also plan to take with me a few personal Equipment Packages to retrofit on the fly, so that my storage will offer everthing from a few Cargo Racks to Reverb Torpedo Launchers.
