Ship Build Purpose
Build Description
Really just wanted a stylish ship for exploration and the courier is pretty good. While not reaching insane jump ranges or having the most space for modules it is great for what I want to do with it which is see the galaxy.
Pros and Cons
PROS:
- 45+ ly jump range
- Runs cool, as cool as a courier can anyway with 15% resting heat and 54% FSD heat
- Small landing pad and small build, very easy to land places
- Has a solid shield so you can bump some planets when landing (and stations)
- Good handling in supercruise (Subjective) Great design and canopy
CONS:
- Can not fit every internal you could ever imagine, you have to make some choices
Not max speed but that can be fixed with different engineering
Basic - lly no cargo capacity
- Only same size fuel scoop so takes about 10 seconds at optimal scooping to refill jump drain
OPTIONAL CHANGES:
- Can be made so that it jumps 50+ ly but has to strip basically everything and remove most internals and utilities
- Can make changes to the internals/utilities as you see fit all up to personal preference but can’t fit everything
- Can put on some weapons to make it a jack of all trades with an exploration focus
- Can sacrifice some jump range and heat management to get up to 815 boost speed or keep the 683 if you still wanna keep some semblance of heat management
Materials Required
The following numbers assume the following rolls required to progress:
Grade 1 rolls - 2
Grade 2 rolls - 4
Grade 3 rolls - 5
Grade 4 rolls - 7
Grade 5 rolls - 10
This can vary greatly since rolls are randomized events, which means these are at best estimates to target.
