Ships DBX for HazRes? Sure.

[Christian-A-Hill]

I always wondered, what really Combat meant for a DBX. It is unusually heavy set for a small ship category. The primary given role for DBX is of course Exploration. But why not put it through the paces just to see what else it can do?

I love the DBX, lovingly named VIKI. After spending sometime with Colonia engineers, I got the DBX ready for HazRes. Sure there are other ships to do the job. But they are not DBX or Crusader.

Here is the DBX build I came up with to take on HazRes.

I am impressed. I can take on just about anything except 3 wings npcs. I faced few Anacondas, FAS, couple FDLs and everything in between. FDLs were the hardest ones then FASs. In both cases I lost shield and about 40% of armor but was able to kill all of them. Definitely not a quick way to make money as it takes time but the feeling of going against an Anaconda with this little ship can not be measured by credits.

Got any suggestions, tips to make this better?

I'm sure the DBX is a lovely ship to fly, I just can't get over one thing...

Yes of course, why not. I flew an ASP Explorer as a combat ship for long, also in the conflict zones!

You can fill an Olympic pool with just one tea spool , after (a lot of...) time, true.
But thinking FUN is the main factor, why not

I can only think of 2 reasons for using that teaspoon to fill an olympic pool.
1. Someone told you it Cannot be done.
2. That spoon is magical. Every time you scoop, your happiness level goes up.

I was able to put in a couple more days of HazRes in my DBX. Yep, still happy.

I have no plans nor desire to get into Large ships, so my credit requirement is very small. Krait II would have been my ultimate ship and I did engineer one to use it for few weeks. Even if I could ignore the loose wires and workaround the overly bright cockpit, everything was just too easy. My trusty DBX and Crusader seem to give me everything for my thrifty lifestyle. Once in a while I rent Lakon space trucks to haul around transportation contracts. I know some people own every ship in the game. I on the other hand want to keep it as real and immersive as possible by owning within means and usage.
