What is the name of your exploration ship?
- Thread starter Tom Areani
- Start date
I recently purchased a T-10 Defender - named her North Star. Did some engineering on several of her systems. I've rigged her for exploration but she is fully packed with amenities and is capable of defending herself. Currently, I'm getting 30LY per jump, but if I stripped her down to bare bones I bet I could squeeze another 3-4 LY out of her. I'm good with jump distance - no rush in exploration. I'm want to enjoy the sights.
My Explorer Cobra is called Luna Wolf.
I have several exploration focused ships in the game. The main one I use though is The Ronin, a fully combat loaded Vulture.

My first exploration ship was an AspX called Black Horizons, because it was meant for adventures into the black and finding new horizons. After DWE i had it refitted into a very fast space taxi and trader for stuff like rares.
Now i use an exploration fitted Anaconda that goes by the name of Phoenix, a reference to the early 20th century schooner Phoenix of Dell Quay. While the original ship was a missionary ship spreading the religious word, mine spreads the word of science, adventures and exploration across the galaxy. Also it survived a messed up attempt to supercharge on a neutron where i very nearly lost it. But it survived the fire and emerged from it, hence the fitting name

DB-ex : Leif Erikson - after the famous norse explorer
Dolphin: Athena
Krait Mk II: Caledonian - after my home country.
I just bought a Krait Phantom to replace the DB-ex as my main explorer but as of yet it is unnamed.
and for thoes who want to know I still have my Sidewinder called Sammy with a respectible 21ly jump range for bubble exploring.

I have three:
Dolphin - Nostalgia for Infinity (been to Ishum's reach, Sag A* etc).
Anaconda - Spirit of the Age (Sag A* various Galactic High's and Low's)
DBX - Moving Further Away (Sag A* return to bubble and LD taxi).

DBX-DBXpeditioner, Asp Scout-Cirrus Minor, Jumpaconda-Davita Baby (you know, Anaconda davita baby), Asp explorer-Goodbye Blue Sky
I like to distort the names of commonplace things in my life. There's a shopping centre closeby that's called the "Sunrise Centre", so my exploration ship became "Surprise Centre".
DBX Saucy Saucisson. Because I'm Eurotrash.
Update. my Krait Phantom is now called "the Void Phantom" at least for its first expedition to Barnard's loop my current location.
