Build Description
I use this build for general exploration and trade scouting, though it is perfect for all-purpose sightseeing.
I built this ship because it reminded me of my first real exploration vessel, I was never satisfied with any other exploration ship, until I circled back to my first true explorer: The DBX.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
High jump range of 66.08 LY
Xeno Scanner for interacting with Thargoids
Sturdy Shields
Plenty of Heatsinks
Cons:
Fuel Scoop is a limitation
SRV bay has always been buggy on uneven terrain
2A Engine Focused Power Distributor will give you insane boost times, but the recharge for engines is quite long
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.
