DW3 Ship Builds

Here's my current favorite exploration build:


It runs very cool and can usually charge the FSD while scooping fuel without overheating*, even with the shield energized, (but shield is normally de-energized while in supercruise for longer distance travel. Shield is energized normally only for landings. The HSL is just for any unexpected mistakes. The docking computer is just me being lazy and having the available slot, but it does help finding a landing spot on rough terrain when doing exobiology. It doubles as a very good bubble bus.

* which saves a LOT of time while jumping
 
This definitely counts as chasing decimal points, but you can engineer Lightweight Alloy hull plating (the default stuff that comes on a ship, with no weight). On my Asp Explorer, I get 121 extra hull points from the G5 Heavy Duty Armor modification. Keep in mind this is free. I personally don't have an experimental effect applied on mine, since they all reduce resistance in one or more areas, but it could certainly be worth taking Deep Plating or something.

As far as your actual suit goes, G1 are fine, but you can buy up to G3 pre-built from certain stations. These are all first-come-first-serve, but there is a thread that keeps track of them, making it pretty easy to pick up G3 gear of your choice.
 
My Mandalay is fully engineered and ready to go.
I want to re-fit my Anaconda , Python and Courier for the trip also. That gives me a small, media and large to play with.
Maybe I'll try out a Mk V also and see how she flies.
