Just bought my first Asp and may have bitten off slightly more than I can chew. LOL

I bought it for the fuel tank size. I've been trading with a type-6, which certainly gets the job done and has a small kitchen in which I can brew THE most spectacular tea....but I have to refuel allllll the time. So I go and buy an Asp. Foolish impulsive me. It came, of course, with the default FSD, which has a far shorter range than what I had on my 6. The only FSD I've found that compliments the Asp's size is an A-5, which, as most of you know, is 5Mil. My question is, is there a cheaper but nearly as effective an FSD as the A5? Or am I just stuck making 17 light year jumps till I can choke up the 5 mil in four more runs? lol

I suppose a secondary reason I bought it is for the multiple hard points. I developed rather a desire to turn on those interdictors (sp?) and hand them their arses back to them if possible. Mostly to break the monotony. :)

Intriguing indeed. Thank you, Jumper. You wouldn't happen to know if any systems on the Orrere-Momus Reach route would sell those? I notice some stations will have some items in the outfitting department and then others the next time you come through or log in.

Unfortunately, I am no where near by there but thanks! Also, tool around with this and you can see how close it matches your Type 6 jump range. http://www.edshipyard.com/ As far as 5B goes. I see a lot in Empire space such as Orcus, Erio, Beta Sculptoris but those may have changed since the last time I was around them.

I have a B5 in mine as well. Currently that give me a 20ly range with 50 ton cargo on board. Saving up for the A5 as well and running rares/exploring/shooting pirates to get there.

Very much appreciate the replies, you two. :) I can pull of the 5 mil price here soon enough, but that won't leave much if I somehow get interdicted by a hellish Elite and blown to space dust before my FSD can cool down. LOL

Just check High Tech & Large/Wealthy population stations using the Galaxy Map filter. Won't take you long to find.

when near Orrere, head to Leesti(george lucas station), and if you cant find what you want there try Zaonce(ridley scott station), between the two of them they have tons of modules.

May I introduce you to the fuel scoop, and guns.

Those should solve your fuel and piracy issues!

The real reason the Asp is so awesome, is that it can haul like a T6, fight like a Cobra (with sharper teeth), and can jump like nothing else at this stage.

Love the Asp...

I'd recommend using elite shipyard before purchasing a new ship. It's an excellent tool and allows you to easily plan your purchase.

this is why I say one needs to double the purchase price at minimum when upgrading ships, regularly the best fsd is about the same price as the ship and taking that into mind 3x may be more appropriate.

Through sleepy eyes I bought one last night, clearly tiredness was messing with my cognitive thought as it left me with 196 credits.

I did think about selling immediately, but cashed in a 100k bounty and bought a little cargo. Now doing 10ly round trip earning 1.7k in a fairly safe system to build up the funds.

Probably not the wisest thing I've done, but was really getting bored of the Type 6.

Been there with the ASP, ultimately I sold it again and bought a Type 6 again (and a fully kitted Viper for fun) and grinded some more until I had around 15 Million Cr.

That was enough to fit the ASP with D class in every slot except FSD in which I put an A5 module. Upgraded the Power Distr. as well and been running a few very lucrative cargos and made a small exlporation trip, now I slowly upgrade everything while being a Jack of all trades atm.
