The RRC 'Longshot' (DBX)
The Rock Rat Container 'Longshot' Diamondback Explorer
It was around waypoint 14 of the 3302 Distant Worlds Expedition, when, due to exhaustion from endless prospecting runs, i fell asleep in my SRV and ran out fuel.
As this had been my only SRV and a Rock Rat can not live without one, i had to leave my Asp behind and race out there again.
I had this DBX i bought just before DWE, mostly cause i liked the looks and wanted to check it out, sitting in a Coriolis station and i hastily outfitted it, leaving the AFMU out in favor of two SRVs, hence the name 'Longshot':

I also slapped on this sexy chrome paint job i bought during the sale and i was good to go!
After 4 days of intensive jonking, i caught up with the fleet around waypoint 18 and i was already falling in love with this little tin can!
It went on to fulfill its purpose flawlessly, even though i dipped into the occasional neutron star or bellyflopped at Beale Point.
It was the perfect ship for a Maître Shenanigateur and it went on to become the ship, crossing the Abyss furthest west to date:

After some more exploration in the western regoins of the galaxy,
the 'Longshot' hit home and brought me safely back to civilization.
It will always hold a very special place in my heart.
