{{quote|The Asp Explorer is the civilian version of the military model Asp Mk II's (which first saw service in 2878). Lakon Spaceways now owns the licence to construct these ships and has marketed them heavily at customers looking for their first multi-crewed ships. The ship class has earned a solid reputation for long range missions and those requiring some discretion.|In-Game Description}}

As the name suggests this craft has a high jump range relative to other ships in the game. It has six weapon hardpoints and has a good turning circle for its size. Therefore the Asp is able to act as an explorer but also as a heavy duty bounty hunting vessel if the Viper is not to the player's taste and as an ideal pirate ship. Its ample cargo capacity and heavy armament make it ideal for this purpose. Its jump range also allows pirates to reach systems of a different faction to pay off any particularly fustrating bounties.

The main downside of the Asp is the lofty price tag with approximately a 5 million credit difference between the Asp and the Lakon-6, and 5.7 million credits more expensive than the Cobra, the last multipurpose vehicle before progressing to the Asp. This is a very large price gap worth consideration when deciding what spaceship to aim for.

As a trading vessel it is almost obsolete aside from its weaponry. The Lakon-6 is 5 million credits cheaper for a similar cargo capacity and similar jump range with an upgraded frame shift drive.
