Ships Corvette Long Trip Exploration Build

Hi,

Seeking some advice / suggestions to improve.

Prerequisites:
  • Yes I know there are ships with more range and have done it already years ago in an AspX and Ana, but this time I want a Corvette
  • Fighter Hangar is in terms of Roleplay (crew) and for photo shootings in the fighter mandatory for me
  • 4G Planetary as well as I want a backup if I destroy one accidentally

Here is what I came up with. I do not like unused basic slots, therefore module and hull. Might save my 4$$ and saving 1.7t is not really improving something on that ship.

Thanks for your input in any case! 😄

Have no PS+ currently and I will not take part in a bigger convoy, so I think risk is minimal. Otherwise I would definitely pick another setup.

PS: Have updated Shield Generator now as well. Increase in strength seems worthwile as I "like" to land hard on planets.

I agree with Bigmaec, the corvette has a low jumprange anyway so rather then going for a dbx or conda build where they sacrifice hp for jumprange, you may as well work to the ships strengths/weaknesses and sacrifice jumprange for a armored explorer build.

Btw, A low jumprange ship does not mean for a you cant go exploring, i got bored one day in my corvette and took it to saga a just for the lols. This was my combat build https://coriolis.io/outfit/federal_...FWkXJpMEAAA=.EweloBhBmSQUwIYHMA28QgIwVyKBQA==

The trip took me ages - but i had nothing else better to do, it wasnt very profitable - but i already have 6 billion, and i couldn't gather materials - but most of my bins are full anyway.

Building a Corvette into an exploration ship...
Is this some kind of challenge to prove to yourself you can do it? :unsure:

Explorers need a little energy weapon to poke things...

Slap on some boosters and trim some of the PP and the distro. un-D-rate your life support. 7.5 minutes is very few if you manage to break your canopy

It's an awesome explorer, that's why :)

This as an example offers 42. 5Ly.
And as it's already a heavy ship, you can add around 80t and it still jumps ~40Ly.

Next to that, although this obvious is a matter of personal taste, it's the most sexy ship in the gane, so great for 'ship in front of things' photo shoots ;)

Another paper build :p

But 600 mj at least allow for quite hard landings.

We all know (except Rudy) that the sexiest ship is the Imperial Cutter!

Yes, they fight for place one in my personal ranking, but as I use the Cutter for all trading stuff, and as a multi on my alt, I wouldn't take it also out for exploration...
And I hate the glowing cockpit ;)

This one better, Bigmaec?

Can I stand a gank attack with 2k thermal and still high wake?

Guess so (y)
My rule of thumb is 1000 mj is sufficient with a ship that can moderately maneuver and boost.
A wing would still blow you up they know what they do, drop in quick succession and you make a bad mistake,
but chances for that are miniscule.

Anyways, don't get me wrong, I have paper builds too and if I don't play in open, which I do for various reasons sometimes,
I use them. Nothing wrong with that.

Somebody who understands 🙂
Nice hint. Research limpets ... never used. 🤔

Doesn't seem to be worth the effort?
