Asp Explorer: Difference between revisions

The '''Asp Explorer''' has a high jump range relative to other ships in the game and thus is quite good for use as an exploration ship. It has six weapon [[hardpoint]]s and has a good turning radius for its size which makes the Asp good for more than just exploration. The Asp can act as a heavy-duty bounty hunting vessel due to its superb weapon capacity and good maneuverability for its size. [[Pirate]]s can also use the Asp to great effect because of the ample cargo capacity, heavy armament, long jump range and large mass (allowing it to charge its own FSD with minimal mass disruption while also mass disrupting the FSD of low mass prey).

The main downside of this ship is the high initial purchase cost and high maintenance costs. Many roles that the Asp fills can be fulfilled with cheaper ships. An example would be pirating which can be done in a [[Cobra]] whose purchase cost is approximately 5.7 million less credits while still having a moderate cargo capacity and threatening weapon armament. Another example would be trading which can be done in a [[Lakon Type 6]] that has nearly the same cargo capacity, and costs approximately 5 million less credits.

All ships are highly customizable through the Outfitting menu of Station Services. Listed below is the default load-out for the {{PAGENAME}}.
