Close to 50lyrs range.. https://s.orbis.zone/47f4
Yeah, best boost sound in the game!
First, dont forget to watch the awesome Saggitarius Eye video about the Keelback, there is how to build a KB 50+ jump range, I get studied from here:
My build is not a combat one, I submitted combat, when I found killing an Elite NPC Python is a torture even with G5 medium beam lasers + MC + railgun. So I dropped weapons and turned on explorer build for fun on events (like the Keelback Awareness Week was). My target was the magical 50ly with as possible optionals as I can have.
Stats: dirty+drag (w/ boost 442 m/s), shield 286(!), cargo rack, AFMU, 5D hangar + SRV, 4A scoop and of course the highest Guardian FSD booster.
No power problems and no heat problems!
I have no access to a lightweight Life Support Engineer, so if you have you can do more jumprange! Also on Shield you can spare more (maybe a 3D with Stripped Down).
Here is the coriolis link you asked:

I fit out a Keelback to do some mining. I took it out last night for about an hour and dropped off with 9 million in void opals and some other materials. It's not at all fully upgraded and I have some tweaks I'd like to do on it, but this is what it is right now. I'd like it faster and probably with more shields. 333 doesn't feel like enough for how slow it is. It does run fantastically cool and does a great job at what I built it to do.
I'd like to do an Armored Monstered power plant and boost the shields some more in-case I get caught on my way to sell my hauls.

edit: I went out on another run and pulled in 10 mil in low temp diamonds... This is the perfect ship for core mining. I'd be pulling a lot more if I wasn't also trying to do a mining rush mission for methanol monohydrate, but I'm going to go out and only prospect for the good stuff when I'm done with this dumb mission.
Any ideas for names? I'm thinking about calling it Oliver Schist.

I like the Stygian paint jobs for the keelie, I bought the Stygian brass and I must admit I like very much.
Now tempted by the other new paint jobs.
This is my general purpose loadout at the mo.What is you favorite pve loadout on your Keelback?
My cast-in-stone setup is two turreted medium bursts and two railguns with super pen mod. Pretty fun, point and click, npc pilot snipes like some crazy muthaNow I'd like to try something different...
March Harrier
Dual medium frag turrets and a pair of small rapid fire pulse lasers. Coupled with a fixed beam taipan flown by an elite SLF pilot (not me, I'm terrible). The only situation I find difficult is cargo collection missions in a threat 4 poi. I can survive ok but the mission cargo tends to get exploded and I need to respawn it.

What I've had forever is 2x medium MC, 1x small rail, 1x seeker missiles.
The missiles frankly aren't super useful most of the time, but they're fun. And it is nice to be able to reliably delete enemy fighters with them.
Finally succumbed to temptation got the turbulence PJ for my keelie. Always thought it looked good on the T6 and it looks just as good on the KB.
Mad skillz dude!
Went out again with the good ol' keelie.
Thought I'd shake it up a bit and switch off the relative mouse options...

Those are some mad flying skills you have there!
