O7 CMDRs. I need your help. I think it's time for me to buy a new ship. And heres the problem. I want Big Bad Boy like Typ 10 or Beluga. I would like to make them PVE/Trading/Exploration. I don't want to buy Anaconda. It's overrated also Corvette it's to much grind. Can you help a noob like me?
You need to decide what you really want to do.
Trading and Exploration are very conflicting goals, not only as outfitting goes but as playground too. Trading is done in civilized areas and exploration as far as possible.
While you can explore in T10, a Beluga is better, but Anaconda is the best by far
And you can trade in a Beluga, but a T10 is better by more than 120t. While an Anaconda is right behind T10 in terms of cargo space, it does have the advantage of a better jump range.
And strictly for trading a T9 is even better.
So yea, choices.
My advice is: just try them all and see what you like more.
You can swap modules at will, but selling a ship will in incur a percentage penalty.
