Ship Builds & Load Outs How can I pump more distance out of my multi-roll Asp?

[Biscuitbatman]

Hey guys, my main ship is an Asp Explorer that I've been flying for a while, I use it as a multipurpose ship (I make most of my credits in smuggling missions, with some light bounty hunting on the side. I currently have a ~20 LY jump range, and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to pump some more distance out of my jumps, loadout-wise. I currently have a 5A powerplant, a 5B FSD, an 4A distributor, and I'm currently running 17.60 MW (deployed) out of 20.40 MW available.

Sensors and Life Support should be D rated for weight.

Basically look for whatever rate you can shave off, and naturally max out your FSD when you can.

- get a 5A FSD !
- don't know which shields you are running, maybe you'll save weight with a 5D + shieldbooster, fit a scb!
- can you prioritize your moduls in a way, that you can run your build with a 4A powerplant?
- if you are playing in the bubble, you don't need a 32T fueltank, get a size smaller (16 T) - still enough for 3 jumps.
- depending on your weapon-loadout (a lot of multicannons or a lot of lasers...) you might be okay with a 4D powerdistributor. have in mind that also reduces your boost-rate

Try out some builds in Coriolis or ED shipyard to check range and power before spending "real" money, here's a mid range cargo Asp build and a multirole version as examples
