2.2 ASP EXPLORER PASSENGER Build

Hello . Can anyone here teach me how to build a valuable ASPEX to be able to transport passangers for cash ? there are good missions in sothis to go to center of the galaxy 13 passangers for 80 millions or more :) i already have the ship and a rated FSD but i dont know where to get the cabins or fi i can do that on an asp ... I only have 120 mil... not enough for a decent fitted beluga...

I'd recommend a 6A scoop / 5 business class cabin (available at most high tech systems) layout, though with the new arrival/destination alignment when jumping, a 5A scoop / 6 business class cabin version probably isn't that much slower.

I'm thinking about fitting my AspX for long range exploration passengers, as well. I currently have a 5A scoop, which seems sufficient, and will probably fit a size 6 business or first class cabin (still have to check what kind of luxury these explorers expect on board). The problem is deciding on what to fit next. Discovery and surface scanner are pretty clear, and I will also take a size 3 shield. I think I also need a cargo rack for picking up any commodity rewards (any info on that?). That leaves me with one slot, which will either get an AFMU or an SRV hangar. I'm not sure which yet.

but you really need the cargo rack ? and also is not better with bussines then first class? per exemple in sothis a bussines mission to center 8 passangers 70 million credits.. there were 3 missions like this last night all bussines total 16 passangers all to center region... all you need is cabin size good fuel scoop an srv if you plan to visit planets too.. and scanners.. all missions time were about 2 weeks and 4 days if you travel economical jumps it wont be enough.. but with 30ly jump range and more from asp i think you can go and come in around 3 4 days... never done exploring so i dont know the time ... with my asp moded right now 39 ly range i go and come from sothis in 1 hour and 10 min thats around 1000 ly with a3 fuel scoop... so if there is 25k +25k ly to center and back i would say around 1 week maximum and youy get around 140 mil credits and money from exploration....

Most long-range missions I've seen during Beta needed business class and weren't demanding commodities - if they do, though, you might have a problem without a cargo rack.

You can actually get away with a 3A power plant on your build, if you shut down stuff like the SRV hangar, cargo hatch, and all of the heat sink launchers that are not currently in use.

Btw i have some questions before departing Sothis :) Is there a way to chose in wich star type i can jump ? i dont want to jump into a neutron star and die midway :D Right now im just going to travel fast route and not economical until i have the cash for a good passenger anaconda :) And is there a way to see if a system , star , planet , moon is discovered already ? im going to use ADS in every system .... if i use it and find a undescovered system is there a way to see it or i will find out when i will sell the data ? how does it work exactly ?

Yes, in 2.2, you can apply a filter in the star map (for example, only scoopable star types), and then use that filter for your route planning. There's a button somewhere on the route tab, I think.

You can tell if a certain object is discovered by looking at the system map. If a planet, moon or whatever has already been tagged, the name of the Commander who first discovered it will be shown in yellow. The easiest way to find undiscovered systems is by not going to your destination in a straight line, but first taking a detour in a direction not pointing towards any popular place like a nebula or something. You can imagine this as "corridors" of explored systems going from the bubble towards all popular places in the galaxy. Just try to stay out of them, by first going a few hundred LYs up, for example.

https://eddb.io/station has cabins in its database. I used it for SLF stuff yesterday also. I just did a 3.7Mil credit passenger run for 48LY in the bubble, so short range can be respectable cash also. Making money is alive and well in ED. :)

Sorry, I'm still fitting out for my first passenger missions. :)

Turns out I actually won't take my AspX, but my Cobra IV for them. It has one additional internal slot, which allows me to take an AFMU to repair any systems damage.
