Diamondback Explorer – ED Ship Builds

Maeve Millay 87LY by CMDR Adasha

This was my first proper exploration ship, and was the craft that first took me to the galactic centre, Colonia and countless other points-of-interest. Though I eventually moved on to higher-end options, this little beaut will always hold a special place for me, and I’ve continued to tweak the build and take it out for…

The Horror of the Bubble by CMDR Luchezarny

Research, PVP, PVE, Piracy when replacing modules, a surprise for gunkers.

75 Jump Street by CMDR Kampai

Can run colonia in 2 hours and has a shield, heatsink and an SRV. This ship can jump neutrons uninterrupted all the way to colonia without using the old colonia route.

Exploration DBX 61LY by CMDR awesomecraigs

I use for long range exploration trips and general use around the galaxy. Great for courier/planetary missions, as it has an SRV. Nice long jump range and can get just about anywhere in the bubble in 3 jumps max.

Shadowstrider by CMDR Prom3thean

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.
