Anaconda Explorer
- Thread starter Beardless
- Start date
The Anaconda has the longest jump range in the game.
I'm currently over 28k ly out from Sol, this is my build:

I could probably equip lower spec thrusters/power plant/shields/power distro to get a few more ly range, but I also use this ship for trading so just kept most of my standard gear.
Cheaper option, just add heat sinks

I'm right on the galactic rim at the moment in mine and I equiped for the job in hand, so its pretty much bare bones.

Works a charm, massive jump range has really helped to avoid some dead ends that I would have had to back track from in an asp. On the downside it turns slower than the asp and has a much more restricted view, I didn't like it at first but over the last 20k ly's it has really grown on me.

Wow that's one awesome build!
Thanks, it has served me well so far!
I'm in the core so ekeing out every last ly isn't that important, if I were on the rim like Ambivalent where every ly of range counts then I'd probably go with a similar build to his.
That's a clever load out!

40ly jump range with scanners and a shield that will do basically nothing
optimal build for exploring - anaconda beats asp by a long way.

Yeah, I should have stripped mine.. with weps, hull, and shields, the jump range on my anaconda is 29 lyears. 40 would be nice
anaconda is undisputed king of exploring.. BUT, it's crazy expensive. Nutter has a thread on here for an asp, and has gotten its range tto about 38 light years. So, you lose a few light years if you go with aship that is a fraction of the cost of the anaconda.
Note the power usage... what would you have to shut down to make it work?
Slightly confused as to why he has a SCB installed, and that dist makes the boost function inoperative. You could ditch the cell bank and replace it with a better dist.
Nah, he needs the SCB urgently for his... missing shield? Oo
Not to mention a 2A Reactor would fully power the rig with barely any loss in jump distance.
The way i see it my Anaconda is tough old bird, she can take a few hits, and since in order to boost her I need 20 tons of distributor so I'll skip on that and take 1t of distributor and 2t of shield instead. I get a longer range and I'll be very very surpised if I get into any trouble on the way back home, once i hit the nearest suitable station I can refit again anyway, so no boost is no big deal in my eyes.
Also worth noting that a 7D scoop is cheaper and more effective than a 6C, though if you can afford a big scoop then it sucks up fuel extremely quick, you don't really have to do more than kiss each star and you can go on forever even though it can get through 8 tons of juice per jump.

Whats the shield cell bank for? you have no shields equipped.
Thats really impressive
If only we could sticky a Anaconda Owners thread..all builds available. I'm out exploring in my ASP atm, hopefully have enough money to get an exploring Anaconda, will have to part ex my python tho.. hopefully get home will elite rank exploring so I'll be like a kid in a candy store @ founders world 10% off....should pay for the fsd ;-)
Lot of hopefullys but hopefully a week in a neutron star field should suffice
