Keelback: Difference between revisions

Line 55:

As an [[explorer]], the Keelback has less jump range than the Type-6 due to its greater mass. Combined with more limited compartment space, the Keelback is a slightly less capable ship in the role than the Type-6.

The Keelback has one role it shines in: [[Miner|mining]]. With its two medium hardpoints, large cargo space, fighter bay for protection and smaller size the Keelback is one of the best ships available for the job and is by far the cheapest ship that is extremely effective in the role. Due to its small size, many rich pilots can still make good use of the ship for its impressive mining potential. Because fighter hangars make for great protection for a miner, it may even be more appealing than ships such as the [[Asp Explorer]] or [[Federal Dropship]].

For players with [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey]], however, the [[Cobra Mk V]] provides a higher mining speed, similar cargo capacity, better thermal characteristics, significantly better maneuverability, and the ability to dock at small landing pads, all for a lower price point, only giving up the ability to equip a vessel hangar.

Overall the Keelback is an adequate multipurpose ship, equally capable of exploration, combat, and trading, but mining is where it capitalizes on its abilities. Compared to similar ships such as the Asp Scout, the Keelback generally does a much better job, but has a much lower jump range.
