Mhmmm … it's my
Kassiopeia, an Anaconda. First time to the Crab Pulsar and afterwards to BP was with my
Kassandra, an AspX (without Guardian Booster). And I remember these two expeditions fondly. And yes, I still really like
Kassandra and I became a bit melancholic when I left her afterwards … but than I bought
Kassiopeia (which was my goal all along). Originally I hadn't enough money to totally, completely upgrade her to the highest jumprange. So I started grinding it out. … … … But out of the black a voice was calling and while I was with her on my way to a station I … well, I couldn't ignore said voice any longer and I said to myself "Screw this! Yeah, I'm not completely equipped with everything, but I head out there at once". … And that's how my journey around the galaxy started. With her I've been for the first time at the end (almost) of Outer Arm Vacuus and the Persues Arm. With her I was all by myself in a galactic sector at the edge and to the right of the north-south-meridian when the FSS update came … thus, getting a lot of entries into the Codex everybody can see. I surfed coronal mass ejections with her and at the very end I almost crashed her because of stupidity (and possibly space madness). Later she got different dresses (but I always get back to yellow) and I went on DW2 with her, and afterwards I conquered my fear and learned how to neutron boost with her. I've shown her the highest reachable system (and almost didn't make it back), the landable planet with the highest gravity and the world of death (which almost killed her).
Yes, I read all you write why it isn't the perfect ship … and I even agree with you. The "view", the empty cockpit, she flies like a wet sack full of bricks (especially with underpowered engines) … but I don't care. This is all about the personal relationship I have with
Kassiopeia … I'm the only one here, using the name of the ship instead of what kind of model it is … I'm never far away from her and whenever I leave the bubble (or it's vicinity) is
Kassiopeia the beauty I fly … hell, once I even shipped my
Chicken of Doom (a T9) to Colonia because I wanted to mine there … well, that was expensive but it didn't feel right NOT to take
Kassiopeia to fly there.
That however doesn't mean I don't enjoy flying my (few) other ships.
Kassandra whenever i need to go to somewhere a bit farther away but still close to the bubble. My
Chicken of Doom, for mining and trading. My
Kalypso (a Cobra MK III) right now to deliver Hutton Mugs and than there is ITALKALOT (the Sidewinder I started with) when i just want to have some fun flying.
But deep space exploring … well, that's the domain of
Kassiopeia
