You can fit both.
Sag A* has stations on the way, so you don't need the AFMU, it's not like you're in the middle of nowhere

That version of Coriolis is out of date. Rest assured that the Diamondback Explorer now has six internal slots, not five.
Seems to be a lot of weapons for a long run like that. I use a DBX with no weapons and the 5A FSD has around 35% engineering. I can go 51ly. And yes I have an AFMU, 2G SRV and DSS.

Here you go, a link to mine at the new version of Coriolis

I'd go with something more like this: https://coriolis.io/outfit/diamondb...df5-------320i2i432f.AwRj4zTI.Aw1-kA==?bn=dbx
Dunno if the game will let you fit even smaller shields but, if it will, I would.
They're only going to be required to protect you from heavy landings.
Also, if you power-down the AFMU you can fit a much smaller PP.
When/if you need the AFMU, shut down thrusters, FSD and anything else, power-up the AFMU, make your repairs and then swap it all back.
What is your jump range? I wanna pack a lil punch in case i get attacked on the way :d i am good with 34 ly for range plus i like combat, i wanna spend the money i get from exploring on a well equiped fer de lance or grind a lil more and get a python

I disagree. Sure the Asp has a "better" cockpit... (A subjective matter BTW), but in real terms, the DBX can actually land in smaller spots.
I agree.
The Asp is a bit more "up-market" and it offers you more flexibility of load-out but if you just want to jump long distances and then land as easily as possible when you arrive, the DBX is where it's at.
My range is 51.84 and I can do 1000ly in 21 jumps. I'm actually on the way back from a 5k trial run out to lagoon. I don't know how to look at my engineering outside of port. I'm not 100% sure what my FSD is engineered at. Its level 5 though. I also run a lvl 1 engineered 2A powerplant. I think it does about 10w. But again I don't run weapons.
If you engineer, you can get a fully loaded DBX with 50Ly range. 4A shield, fixed beam, two multicannons should see you good in most combat situations. Dirty drives let you run away. I went to Sag A* and back with 30Ly range (before engineers), and my first exploration trip was with a Cobra with just 22Ly.
