The Asp Explorer - The Pilot

[S~P]

Hey Pilot, I know what you mean about the engine sound. It used to sound like a growling bear when you throttled up and down. I spent 6 months in the AspX exploring way back before planetary landings and only able to plot 1k lys, those were the days....But at some point I guess FD decided to tone down the sounds.

I know some people really loved that sound, but I am supremely grateful it was turned down. I meant everything in that video. I really do like the Asp a lot better now.

Before I was The Pilot, I was someone else, and I miss my callsign to no end. Delacy - Delta - Oscar - November.

There's a port where the tower is manned by this lovely woman with an accent that always flubs the November, as "Novembah". Loved it everytime I heard it.

Ive almost always been Saud Kruger-Romeo-India-Charlie

It makes me happy

I adore the AspX that I spent so long outfitting when I started, just so I could disappear into the black. I miss the louder engine sound too, nothing could beat exiting planetary glide over a new world and throttling up to roar over the mountains and canyons, and it didn't get old. It's still good, just not as good

I've been refitting and putting a Guardian FSD booster in her, so before long, I'm going to be heading back out there again, because the black will claim me every time. It's time to be alone again, I think, and bring the glorious sounds of an Asp at full throttle to unseen worlds once more.

I have used a DBX extensively. It does the job, but you feel trapped in a coin-operated laundromat after a while...

 

[Max Bothin]

I think you might be surprised. I've tried a lot of exploration builds, and as small ships go, this one is top notch. Take a look at my revised loadout and give it a go.

looked at your Inara signature: "Steely Dan" is a cool name for some of the Saud Krugers...;-)

Space Italians? They are the real monsters!^^

I hope this video mentions that the AspX makes a fart noise when boosting.

It's one of the main points actually....

Most people complain about it while I quite like it. That old school prop.

Clearly a manufacturing fault. Loose thingamajig near one of the spinning drive sections.

Future vehicle safety recalls are neat! Instantaneous and require no interaction or consent on your part.

Especially if you get the joke.

And while I still have fond memories of my days as deLacey, India-November-Delta, I am much more fond of being Saud Kruger, Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot these days.

They did the same thing with the Adder, it had a high pitch whining sound when throttling up, but it got toned down. Some people like the old ways and some the new, really don't bother me though.

The DBX sounds like a washing machine. I'll take the turboprop.

Very nice. Once again an excellent vid.

I just rebought an AspX after well over a year. It was the first one I bought a paint pack for way long ago when I had to grind to pay for it. Atm, its a long jumping rescue ship/shuttle. It is a great ship. It took me on my first excursion into the black to the Coal Sack nebula.

Don't know what it is, but I bought an Asp yesterday night and specced it for longrange travel and max jumprange (up here at Colonia). I also have a DBX for that and an Anaconda. I once had a Phantom. But the ASP seems to be THE ship to go for Exploration. It simply fits. Like the Python fits for multiroling up here at Colonia.

I guess I like the Asp...

Hes always watching.....

Hes always waiting......





Ki asp, rumored to be able to take out a fully moddett corvette ???!?! without any trouble..

 

[avow555]

Still flying my first AspX called Galaxy Prime.
Currently fitted for exploring.
I have a combat one and also another fitted for mining.
Easily my favourite ship.

the famous "KI ASP"...I remember

 

[MaxG10]

Just spend a couple of days in it, moderately engineered, and well, what do you know, I've come to like it.... Only, I wish, I could use some arx to take them ridiculous fins away and leave it as it is designed.... no fins whatsoever.

Wouldn't that just be the Asp Scout?

P.S. as for the engine sound... ever sat in a vulture? It sounds like an overcharged.. No, I am not going to say this... kids around and all.
