Suggestions for a ship to survive and explore all over Discovery..?

Kusari Explorer. Basically a civilian gunboat. Not the best gunboat around, but it should let you survive NPCs well enough (unless you do something stupid like enter certain Wilde or Nomad systems).

well - however players look upon you... but in terms of game / ID lore - the one and only real deep space exploration vessel is the IMG albatross battlecruiser. ( if you re IMG )

another VERY nice exploration vessel for a small crew is the armoured transport. - small, heavily armoured and armed, agile and it withstands most attacks while being a fully civilian ship - instead of a gunboat class or so ship. - furthermore its considered to transport VIPs... so one can imagine some comfortable quarters on it.

Armored Transport, Zoner ID/IFF, and Adv. Transport shields. NPCs can't hit you and the ones that can can't hurt you. Plus, it's perfectly neutral, especially if you have some sort of RP cargo like a VIP or two and 20-odd crew, plus a few passengers, oxygen, stuff like that. If anyone attacks you it still won't be that bad, the thing can dodge rather well and the shields are quite nice.

Plus that shopping list comes in at no more than 5 mil, provided you don't bother with armor... which you shouldn't need.



(Although if you go into Omega-58 while a Wild player is watching the listing, you're still hosed. A. Trans < Scorpion no matter what you do.)

Outcast allies are neutral/friendly with IMG. If I had Molly or Hessian char and noticed miner shooting some nomad ass kissing drug addict , would never bother to help the oc.

Ive actually assisted the 101st with destroying an IMG Gunboat, and they were flinging insults the whole time, Im pretty sure they are hostile.

armoured transport > scorpion ( if it just wants to get away ) .... cause armoured transport ( speed 200 ) - scorpion ( speed 140 )

Ooo, Armored Transport has a 200 speed? Think that makes it the only transport-class vehicle with higher than 140... It may be freighter-sized, but has slightly more cargo and a ton more armor (not to mention much better shields). Very nice. We need more ships in its 'class'... Because, honestly, it's kinda ugly.

[Dantrithor]

Armored transport is a freighter, so it thrusts at 200 instead of 140.
