Hello fellow commanders,
I have just started playing ED and I am mesmerized by the large sandbox universe. I play the game in VR and with a HOTAS setup and the immersion is mind-blowing. So far I have dipped into exploration and mining and have gathered about 210 million credits.
Now I plan to make the next step and build myself a ship that gives me the Han Solo vibes. Space buccaneer ready for adventure. The ship should
I have chosen the Krait MK II to be my "Millennium Falcon".
From what I gather it has a nice view from its cockpit, it is reasonably fast and nimble and can fulfill a wide range of roles.
This is the build I plan to go with (hope it works):
I built it to do:
So I have fitted as many different modules to do as many different things as possible. (I have only unlocked the Farseer Engineer and aligned to Grade 5, but not unlocked the G5 modifications yet). This is not about making money as fast as possible, but more for immersion. And to experience the game in a new way without having to switch ships a lot. Not sure if this makes sense, but I would be super grateful if some of the Elite commanders here could have a look and let me know if I am totally wasting my money on the build and receive some pointers on what to change to get closer to my space scoundrel goal.
Many thanks in advance!

Coriolis EDCD Edition
A ship builder, outfitting and comparison tool for Elite Dangerous
s.orbis.zone
I built it to do:
- Some smuggling / trading
- Being able to take on some passengers
- Do some exploring
- Do "missions" (read it somewhere but have no idea what that is tbh)
- Grind Engineers in between
- Be able to defend against NPCs or run if outgunned
