Cmdr Axonteer here on my way (first big Exploration Journey) to Colonia via a leftwards route (rightwards is where the deep space stations are), and then to Sag A*, and the 3 interesting Black Holes in 2kly distance from Sag A* i got hinted at.
Im 1/3 on my way there (Colonia) and i love my ship already. Its not perfectly fitted, i could really have optimized it a bit more in terms of jump range. But well, i guess 28 or 31 dont matter "that" much. Two Friends are with me but they are on a Cheeseburger Compedition who reaches Colonia first and rush ahead in their Asp Explorers.
I just keep jugging along and looking for interesting stuff (not much found so far sadly).
What i dig the most is that the ship, is very manouverable, and i had some fun doing light combat with it with 2 pulse lasers and a big multi cannon
Attack Chopper indeed
.
On the other hand, the cooling is superb (probably more also the shielding it has lol). My GF (one of the asps) is often screaming out scared and slamming on the heat sink dispenser when her asps ends up between two suns after a jump, and has cooking temps while fuelscuuping at max scoop rate. I keep cool and sit there in my pants
Granted, the space provided for amenties inside a Diamondback is probably smaller than in the asp, but heck, its a game and i can use my real gravity based toilet ;-)
Cmdr Axonteer, Greeting from somewhere 1/3 of the way to Colonia, in his trusty Diamondback Explorer, that he will not sell even when he gets back to buy a Python
