adder - not so bad as you think

anumist · Jul 17, 2015

the adder is a great cargo van ship; it looks good, smells fresh and all compact;

but it can do more ...

upgraded for combat, in hands of a mere pilot it can even challenge vultures,diamondback , whatever else ....

i used to stand off against cobras and vipers, using a hauler in flight assist off...

it was hard, but i used to land a few kills without dying on it..

so even in a adder im quite sure some people are able to be good with it, and outstand better ships in combat...

when there is a good pilot behind the controls, its an hard 'grind' to get when distress is at hand x)

take care commanders

I'm a big fan of the Adder. It's a very versatile and affordable early game ship, and I really like its Fallout-esque retrofuture look. Also it totally sounds haunted.

I tried the adder out for a bit. The medium hardpoint makes it a nice upgrade in firepower from the eagle.

I found the Adder to be a the perfect ship for doing simple fetch missions. Cheap to outfit and insurance rebuy is low.

I just knocked a CMDRs Adder to the forehead with my cobra when he had 80% hull left. He exploded nicely.

i use my old adder (where i made my first millions in exploration in) now for smuggling and for "find experimental chemicals" missions, but after your post i really want to take her into a cz for testing!

The Adder is the great, but unloved, small ship. It can do some great things, at very low costs.

Not my thing (I cant stand the cocpit view), but Ive seen an amazing NPC Adder action. At least ten cops were chasing a wanted one:

Sorry for the quality, I was trying some recording settings...

Absolutely loved my old Adder, and I was sad to part with it. At first I thought it was a bit ugly and would fly soft and squishy. After a bit, I was flying it like a fighter and never wanting for the Eagle.
