Ship Builds & Load Outs Change ship ?

[Sajuukar]

I've been using a Cobra since... since I could afford one I think. I upgraded it over the time (my current build is avaible HERE).

Now with the Imperial Courrier and the Diamondback Explorer, I was considering buying a new ship.
When I began playing I was mostly RES hunting, when some combat CG were up, as I was aiming for Empire Baron rank (I kind of gave up the idea to get a Clipper as I wasn't sure I really wanted the ship to fly it, or just as a vanity ship).
Now I'm mostly doing courrier mission, with a lot of exploration (I have to have unexplored pings on my system map).

As I'm not yet sure wheter or not try the new Powers (I spent a lot of time in the Powerplay UI, but I haven't quite understood what each Power tasks are, and their rewards), I'm not sure I should stick to my Cobra, as I'm quite content of it (giving the money I put in it...).

I already tried the Asp, but while I can appreciate it's internal space and jump range, its weapon setup is a bit off (I know it's not a combat ship, but I like to keep my options open in case something happens, or if I want to do some RES hunting). Adding to that the fact I don't like its engines sound and It's not agile enough (at least for me).

I'm considering the Diamondback Explorer (he has a nice weapon layout despite having a slightly less interesting internal layout), as my ultimate goal is owning a Python (unless they release a more interesting ship before I can afford it, which is very unlikely)

If you find the Asp not agile enough then you'll have a rude awakening when it comes to the Python, I imagine (thay have changed the noise on the Asp, as well).

When it comes down to it, there will always be ships you favour and some you don't. If your ship isn't giving you the performance you want in a task, try another, it is possible to run more than one ship at once.

I tried again flying an Asp. But I didn't notice any audio changes from my first try ~one month ago. But they did change the audio on the Cobra ^^".
As for the Python, I'm not quite ready to try it as I only have 16M (+14M if I sell my Cobra).

From what you've said so far the DB Explorer probably won't be to your liking as it is not very nimble.

If you didn't like the Asp and liked the Cobra, you'll probably like the Courier the best as it has great shields and is very maneuverable and has some cargo capacity.

Going to try the Courier. Just need to find where I can buy one x)
