Just made the most cr I have ever had 11,276,435 to be exact and want to buy another ship. I currently have the V mk III set up for bounty hunting so want to keep that. Ideally am looking for a jack of all trades ship.

Thanks. [up]

The AspX is a great multirole ship. More than 2x the cargo space of the Cobra, tougher too, but not as fast. Good jump range.

ASP is superior to the Courier in terms of multi-role, but the Courier is so much fun to fly. ASPs are so common too in comparison, probably because you need an Imperial rank to get the Courier while the ASP is rankless. Design-wise I prefer the Courier. Functionality, the ASP is better.

Flip a coin.

Cobra is a great ship, decent range, can set it up as a light armed trader/smuggler. Best boost speed at this point in the game. If your looking at keeping the viper and want some thing to earn credits get a type 6 get up to 100 tons with a shield and go farm rare's or slaves and sink the I'll gotten gains Into a asp X or something like a vulture later on. Both the type 6 and cobra are great ships to go and play with at some point in your career

I recommend a Viper MkIV, it has the same weapon placement as a mkIII but has stronger shields and hull rating of 1605 if filled with reinforcements. It has 10 tons less cargo space than a Cobra but can fit a class 3 shield so the difference is just 2 tons, while having a near identical jump range. The engines also sound amazing and it becomes a npc shredder with bi-weaves and dual PAs.

Asp. It can work as a mini-gunship, it can haul more cargo than a T6, and its great for exploration.

I'd say get an Asp, kit out for trading and run a trade route for a while to build your funds back up.

The only negative I have against the Asp is that it is far to drifty for its size, it feels weird when I hop in my Python and it can stop on a dime and is a touch more maneuverable. Other than that I love the AspX. Sad that I skipped it on the first time around.

i too was a bounty hunter when credits were slim pickings

i went from Sidewinder - Eagle - Courier......Courier some more..... then some more Courier....

if i did it again id still pick the courier, although the cobra is a good ship, the courier has nacelles

Thanks everyone atm I have just stuck some pulse and burst lasers on, same as my V mk III and a fuel scoop, just to get the feel of the ship. That spare seat, wouldnt it be great if you could carry a passenger. Now I don't know whether to max the build or go for an ASP.
