Ships Whats your explorer builds?

[CMDR Fnool]

I don't think anyone will want this as it's a hauler, what i call the 'Robinson Crusoe' build, as you'd probably be safer on a raft and it has no SRV, but just on the off-chance that someone out there loves the way the ship looks and handles as i do, i'll post it here. The only engineering i'm missing is a a few points that need to be shaved off the life-support's weight, (I believe that engineer needed for that is in Colonia), but other than that i have squeezed every last drop of jumping ability that is possible. (i think, short of shaving myself all over and piloting naked, an image which i'm sure you'll treasure in your mind)

Although i have a fully fitted Phantom that can do 63 LY per jump, and this does only 53, i've finally found my home in the stars with this ship, the 'Void Gnome'.

What's the beam laser for? And the point defence?

@WinterKing2112 , of course, beam laser, just in case I want to... prod something, for science, of course. point defense, originally added when things liked firing missiles at me, kept it since just in case and now mainly comes in handy if visiting a guardian site. approx. 0.02ly weight cost for each module I think.

I had one of those, I likened it to a little 'trade Van', I loved it, the inside was clean and tidy but looked cheap plastic...Transit Van springs to mind, it was fast, handled great and jumped a good distance back then, in that time of my milk runs I never had a problem with it.

I never went Exploring in it though, I waited until I got an Asp to do that, and didn't put a Scoop on it , yeah, eventually the tank ran dry and the windshield broke... my first rebuy, I knew a bit less back then.

I wonder, when fleet carriers are released, how it will change our explorer builds, those of us who want to jump via the fleet carrier, and explore the surrounding systems, also searching for materials to refuel the carrier.

Like we can apparently refuel, rearm and repair our ships from the carrier so we won't really need repair limpets and amfu's, might not matter for the bigger ships that can carry everything but for smaller ships this would be great.

Im really looking forward to there release
