Diamondback Explorer – ED Ship Builds

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.

LS Emmy Noether by CMDR Lhorndra

The Emmy was built specifically to gather raw, encoded, Guardian and Thargoid surface materials. It has all the tools on-board to comfortably harvest Brain Trees and Crystalline Shards, gather data (e.g. at the Jameson crash site) and examine Guardian or Thargoid ruins. With its small landing footprint, adequate agility and high jump range, it is…

Flatbread 7 by CMDR James T. Dunsel

I use Flatbread 7 for exploration almost exclusively. It’s a fun ship to fly, very maneuverable. You can easily land anywhere with it.

Flatbread 7 by CMDR James T. Dunsel

Mostly Flatbread 7 is an exploration ship, almost a scout vessel really. Limited arms and defenses lighten the load and make for quick Boom ‘n Zoom approaches to places when hostiles are detected.

DB-E by CMDR Todokoui

I use this ship for trading but also meeting friends who are far away from my current system and the ship itself looks good 🙂

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.

70 Somethin’ DBX by CMDR BOBBITT80

Although previously, my build had no defensive capability and got me 2 more LY, I still needed to be able to defend my ship, as if I got interdicted or attacked, there was almost a 100% I was going to lose all of my exploration data, so I added some thermal vent beam lasers and…

“Diamondback explorer” by CMDR GhostNappa4200

Long range travel on a small fuel tank. Refueling is a requirement to run this as it can handle less than 15 jumps. Extremely good at scouting for carrier management. Also good for 15,000 ly runs. Its not going to get you there instantly but range is what I prioritized in this build.
