Looks great with that paint job and lighting.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who appreciates this ship. Might be better options out there, but I like the look of it and she runs cool and maneuvers well. I have mine kitted up as a material farmer/small time explorer.
Currently using it for the CG out at the Coalsack

Well, I reckon the Asp Scout is just....great. Love flyin' it- it's superb at doing so and I kinda like it better than the FDL for rotational agility. Its boost is a little short, but it's always on tap and works very well. If only it was a little thinner...but not a real complaint.
Here's what I made of it this afternoon, anyway....

I'd love it if the ASP Scout was a bit thinner too, like in previous versions of Elite.
Been taking my heavy combat build out through various CZ's to give it a test out.... So far the only really issue I have is running out of medium MC ammo to quickly... need to go farm so basic mats soon for synth.
In the CZ's themselves the only tough fight I have had is when I get targeted by the whole spec ops wing.... enemy commander ships and caps aren't an issue at all...
Really enjoying flying this ship.

Sanderling - great stuff, good to see the AspS getting some serious cred. It'd be great to have a bit of outside footage - I'd be up for sitting in on MC and doing some shots, if that doesn't cramp your style.

Fantastic ship - sadly underrated and overlooked by many. They don't know what they're missing
I just kickstarted my alt commander and decided that I will only use ships that my first commander overlooked. I was especially looking for something ultra agile for deep core mining. After playing around mining in a Vulture, which actually was great but too limited cargo and not great visibility, I realized that Asp Scout fits the bill. And I have to say she' s AWESOME!
Sooooo agile and that cockpit is perfect when deep core mining in VR. And with 48T storage (+6 additional T in the refinery) its perfectly balanced for a deep core run.

I got a second Asp Scout yesterday to outfit as a non-engineered, non-guardian booster, non-neutron booster exploration ship. I love the AspX for sure, but the Asp Scout gives me a lot of those vibes I got from the AspX variant in Frontier Elite II. My head cannon is the Lakon based the chassis of the scout on the 3200s AspX, and the current AspX is an AspX mkII, or III or whatever.
I took my Asp Scout, Nikuu II out on a test run to some places in the bubble reccomended by CMDR Buur, it was joy to fly around and you get the same view as you would in an AspX.

I completed my journey in the Asp Scout, I got some stunning shots along the way, from LFT 926 to Skardee and Apam Napat.
