Considering a Type 6 or Keelback for Crab Nebula exped. Advice sought.

Cdr Voorheez · May 30, 2016

Yeah I want to park the Conda for the CNE (Crab Nebula exped) and take something different. I am considering Type 6 or Keelback.

I started proper exploring in a Type 6, love them, here is my A build:

I like the look of the Keelback but have never explored or for that fact actually ever flown in it, this is my B build:

Advice as always appreciated

I love the T-6E so I am biased...for me the additional module slot in the '6 allows you to fit out the Exploration Ship just perfectly.

The Keelback looks better (<covers ears of the Mallow> a tiny bit better, anyway) but the T-6E is still gorgeous.

Flying happy

Thanks. I am still considering right now, I will no doubt change my mind

Oh no, a repeat of the pre-DWE build dramas

Good luck with decision making and fly safe out there,

I LOVE flying the Keelback because of how she sound and handles. She's also great in planetary flying. That being said, sluggish ships are a bit of a death trap right now in 2.1, so while the T6 can outrun most interdictions, the Keelback cannot, at least not without engi drive mods. Be careful!
