Bast-Harts, what's everyone flying?

So I thought it might be good for folks to post what ships and configs they are using to do the Bast-Heike CG Rares run.

I'm in a stripped down Cobra, no weapons or utilities, everything D (inc shields) except thrusters and FSD, can boost to 456m/s and can do the run on the default fueltank (although I carry a scoop because if I get 9 tons of gin I need to scoop). I've got a Docking computer because once through the Letterbox the Comp docks faster than me 90% of the time.

Named the "Flying Char Wallah"(Flying Tea-Boy), we've delivered over 250tons of tea to Bast so far, and a lot more fun than my T9 "Lady Ruth" was in the last Plague CG (Old Bast-Hart here :) ).

So what's everyone else flying?
 
The Yellow Submarine

She's not the fastest, but she's got long legs and does the trip in 4 jumps with a full load of either tea of gin with only a bit of scooping as I align to my next jump target. If I don't get the full quota on arrival I look for lucrative smuggling missions, not been scanned yet.
 
FDL with the huge PA and zltwo pulses and multicannons. All fixed. SCB-tard without proper shieldboosters and 3 chaffs against gimbal heroes. A thrusters to catch up with the ever running imperials. And one heat sink launcher.
 


So what's everyone else flying?

A nice little Diamondback Scout with a few weapons, scoop and stuff … Only thing I changed for the CG is that I removed the KWS - no time for that.
It takes me a little over 12 mins from Bast to Heike - if I don't get distracted by fuel scooping for the fun of it or reading the forum.

Haven't named the DBS yet, but I guess I'll have a name for her before the CG is finished.
 
Yeah i use the DBX too. Was missing for my collection still and now i do a few rounds with it. Even had a fight with 2 Vipers in a wing, that DBX sure dishes out some damage.
Looks like Lakon had some lucky hand on the DB.
 
Lots of DBX being used it seems.

I get +5 Jumps stripped down ; but I guess Asps and DBXs can do it in +4 Jumps.

I'd still prefer to be in the Flying Charwallah if interdicted though, Annaconda interdicted me a few runs back, was out of mass-lock and back into SC before the slowboat could get a bead on me :)
