space cow t9 explorer

I built this thing in Beta, is anyone actually exploring in something similar? (modded values iv only put positive in, but I can get 30ly out of it!)

the 8A fuel scoop is comical, if I knew how to capture shizzle on pc I would video it...

its prob the worst thing ever in SC but its a very alternative exploration vessel which you can pack a fighter in, its like a flying research centre!
 
Looks expensive. Though it's mostly that 8A fuel scoop.
Still, why drive such a huge ship if you're not getting an advantage in jump range.
A Keelback can out jump it and still carry a fighter.

If you're not using Shadow play, Windows 10 has built in video capture for games.

Even so, it doesn't look like it would save you much money over an Anaconda.

nothing wrong with a 289m credit fuel scoop!

but money saving wasn't the motivation behind it, it was more ridiculous exploration vessels, im sure I heard of one such beast getting to beagle!
 
Well, Olivia Vespera took one on Distant Worlds - our beloved flagship. That was pre-Engineers, mind you. And it don't know which fuel scoop it had.

Personally, I'd rather take the Cow than the Anaconda. I love the T-9 cockpit ... bridge ... cathedral.
 
Now that we can mod out FSD drives, I wont go exploring in anything that has less than a 50ly jump range. I took my AspX out to BP with the DW expedition and wanted to blow myself up just so I could get back faster. I had a 32ly range on that ship. The trip took way to long for my liking. After the next big patch comes out, I might head back out there in the same AspX. This time I have a 56ly range!

Trick I learn was use Multiple accounts. So I don't get that urge to blow my self up. I just get annoyed and switch accounts. Oh my explorer Anaconda has a whooping 16.8 ly jump range :p. 4,000 and system jumps and another 2,000 Jump before I see the bubble.

I'm attempting to build a Beluga explorer, but the costs do weigh on me. I love the idea of exploring in a barge, especially as I've never done it, but the Anaconda is just too mainstream and meh.
 
I took T-9 on August Exodus last year, one of the best exploration trips ever. Im currently heading home from Beagle Point in my Anaconda and have already decided that for the next exploration trip im taking my T-9.

Prior to getting my Clipper (then a Cutter as well), the Beluga was going to be my exploration ship. Her shakedown cruise was 10 days of looking for ruins when the first 3 systems were revealed. It's hard to beat the view, unless seeing through the floor is terribly important to you, and she is quite nimble for her size. With the new camera, she will take some very nice shots indeed.
