With all this talk about new ships and exploration vehicles, everyone seems to have forgotten about this beauty. Exploration Orca: https://s.orbis.zone/17z1

I fixed everything wrong with your build. Here it is, https://s.orbis.zone/1t09


EDIT - woops hold on, I fixed my own build as I was a by forgetting a Fuel Scoop

EDIT 2; Final revision - The Powerplant is so tiny on this gal, I had to remove some unneeded things for better power management and a jump range boost. Now you're still within the ~50 lyr ranges without sacrificing your speed and handling on possible high-G worlds in case of needed landings for studies

After doing extensive testing on AspX ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljqCkiIxm_c ), Python, Anaconda and Orca, I finally decided on which ship I took out for DW2 yesterday. I pimped out my Orca to the max (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFE_Weo4nLQ) and started the journey and so far it has been a blast and the Orca behaves as well as I thought it would. In the final running it was neck to neck with my beloved Python ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NwGNY29dUA ) and I really could have taken either one. I have used the Python more though and decided to give Orca a chance this time out. The current spec has 57 LY jump, 900 MJ shields, 1400 hull, 622 m/s boost and 490 m/s cruise, 2 SRVs, AFMU and A6 scoop. I think she will do just fine :)

EDIT: This is pretty accurately the build I finally took out to DW2. https://s.orbis.zone/1t5u

Interesting building. I like it. I never would’ve thought to add hulk reinforcements on an exploration ship, but I’m intrigued by your use of larger shield and boosters. After my disastrous landing (crash) at the View last night after starting on DW2, I now see more of a need for more shields lol! I ended up taking my Anaconda instead of Orca, kind of wish I’d taken the Orca.

I'm flying one now. She's got 60LY with SRV and extra fuel tanks. I could have got bigger jump range if I let go of carrying all that extra fuel.

I was literally testing everything I could think of and I had a self repair build with 3d limpet controller and rack at one point (excellent for solo exploration btw). But then I just calculated that if I lost 60% of my hull, I would still be better of with the hrps than with repair limpets. And that one shieldless crash to the station (at the end of the Orca video) at 600 m/s was about 60% damage. So HRPs it was.

My conda that I built for testing was also pretty sturdy: 72 ly jump, 1700 shields, 1700 hull.
