{{quote|The Asp Explorer is the civilian version of the military model Asp Mk II's (which first saw service in 2878).

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 frustrating bounties.

Its jump range also allows pirates to reach systems of a different faction to pay off any particularly frustrating 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.

III|Cobra]] - the last multipurpose vehicle before progressing to the Asp. This large price gap is worth considering when deciding on what spaceship to aim for. In addition, the repair costs of an Asp are much higher than those of smaller ships.

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~~.

As a trading vessel, it is not a big upgrade from the [[Lakon Type 6]], considering the 5 million credits price difference. The Asp can carry somewhat more cargo, and jump farther, but is more expensive to operate. It can, however, defend itself much better against pirates.
