The '''Adder''' is a small [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. The original model debuted in 2914 as a product of Outworld Workshops, but Zorgon Peterson subsequently acquired the rights. The multipurpose ship is known for its sturdiness and reliability. As the cheapest ship with a Class 2 [[hardpoint]] and an [[Armour Hardness]] on par with the [[Cobra Mk III]], the Adder is a viable early choice for [[combat]]. The hardpoint also gives the Adder the distinction of being the cheapest ship capable of mounting a Class 2 [[Mining Laser]] or [[Seismic Charge Launcher]], making it a serviceable vessel for [[Miner|mining]]. Furthermore, it has a relatively high jump range potential for its size and price range, and can carry up to 30 tonnes of cargo, allowing it to tackle [[Explorer|exploration]] and [[Trader|trading]] with ease. The Adder's adaptability and price make it ideal for new pilots seeking to upgrade from the [[Sidewinder Mk I]].

The Adder is a versatile multipurpose ship that can take on a variety of roles when outfitted correctly, due to its high cargo capacity and good combat efficiency. It can be considered an upgraded [[Hauler]], and even has a very similar appearance.
The Adder is a versatile multirole ship that can take on a variety of roles when outfitted correctly, due to its high cargo capacity and good combat efficiency. It can be considered an upgraded [[Hauler]], and even has a very similar appearance.


As a [[trader]], the Adder is the best ship available until the [[Cobra Mk III]] becomes an option. With 26T of space available when unshielded it can make a decent profit from selling cargo and can complete most [[Trader|trading]] missions. Unlike the Hauler, it also retains good combat efficiency and has decent armor for its price; letting it tank hits. Finally, it has good maneuverability, allowing it to dodge an [[interdiction]] with ease, and it is capable of [[Mass Lock|mass locking]] several small ships.

While the Adder's hardpoints do have a wide firing-arc which would benefit turreted weapons, it is not advisable to install them. Turrets severely limit the damage output, and are not needed on a ship as maneuverable as the Adder.

As a [[miner]], the Adder is the best ship available at its price range and will do very well until the Cobra MkIII can be afforded. Its Class 2 hardpoint allows it to mount a Class 2 [[Mining Laser]], and combined with two Class 1 Mining Lasers in the smaller hardpoints, it can achieve a very efficient mining speed. The Adder also has a respectable amount of compartment space, enough to carry a decent amount of ores.

For [[Explorer|exploration]], the Adder can achieve a maximum jump range of about 32 LY before [[Engineers|engineering]]. While this is less than the [[Hauler]], keep in mind the Adder has a larger Class 3 [[Frame Shift Drive]], meaning mass from modules and cargo has less of an impact on jump range. Thus, the Adder is an appealing ship for long-range or [[Rare Goods]] trading or deep-space mining. The Adder's larger [[Fuel Tank]] and capacity for a larger [[Fuel Scoop]] allow it to make more jumps before it needs to refuel, and also shortens refueling times. This makes it an acceptable option for long-distance travel using the [[Neutron Highway]].
