I have been doing "short range" (~30ly) exploration and zipping around the bubble to do grindy unlock type stuff in my engineered Adder. It's definitely been my workhorse as a newish player, and I love basically everything about it despite its obvious drawbacks compared to other ships. It's just simple, straightforward, has an analogue look with echoes of old campy sci fi designs, and has a ginormous coffee mug next to the pilot seat. I think I may also go for an mkII when I need to stretch my legs more with exploration. Yes people say go with the phantom, but I think all that red for hours and hours would drive me insane. I just don't really like the phantom much by comparison to the mk2. And it's cool to see it's extremely viable with lots of options.
I am preparing for my first big exploration trip and I also decided to fix up a Krait MkII because I just love everything about this ship so much. I went with girthier modules so my jump range is only about 43 ly. I am bringing a fighter out into deep space just so I have more excursion options to keep things more interesting.
@PrimaryHades Mine's currently above 60, which is all I need really for my purposes atm, since I'm not trying out for the fuel rats or jumping to the ass end of known space lol. I like to take my time a bit and check out systems here and there, so 60+ is fine for me.
@@therfspark3 you can not land on every planet ;-) you found more planets with rings as planets where you can land, and you have to found the with needed mats
@@therfspark3 it's just a Tipp no discussion ;-) where is the problem to had a mining laser just for security, next question, if srv is broken und you can't repair it because of no mats for synthetic, you can't use srv then on landed planet, what then?
@@Maik.iptoux the srv repairs and reloads once it's retracted to the ship. I don't have a problem with a laser but it's just added weight I personally don't need.
You might not believe this, but I made it from The California Nebula all the way to Colonia in My Krait. Also really good for sightseeing because ITS JUST FREAKING GLASS
About to set out with 49 LY jump range. Any recommendations? I’ve been to Barnard’s loop, California nebula, lagoon nebula, but have yet to visit Sag A or Colonia.
@@therfspark3 I think I know what you mean with the space madness from my previous expeditions, lol! I’ve been loving exploring in my good ol Krait so far though, made it about half way to Colonia. Have you been there? Is it worth the trip?
So, this fitting is nearly a year old now. I've got a couple of mk2 fittings I'm playing with because I also like the idea of exploring in a medium ship with a fighter bay. Currently, I'm looking at bringing more mass (6d fighter bay for variety, 5d shield, larger thrusters, etc), but it's more or less similar. How did this build, which is much more stripped down than mine (and probably has about a little over 5 more LY per jump than what I'm looking at), end up performing for you?
I switched the 6b AFMU for a 6D fighter bay and put a 5b AFMU in the 5d fighter bay slot. It's currently my favorite and main I ship I explore with. Its not as bulky as a conda but still as good as an Phantom or ASP.

the reason i would use a mkII instead of a phantom for exp. is because of the coffee machine in the back.
Gotta have that coffee! :)
Agreed

I use my MK II for a lot of my explorations trips. Its really good!
@@therfspark3 Correction: I've got it up to a 53 ly jump range. Now I'm really ready to go.

Been usin my Krait Mk2 for bounty hunting and Xeno killing, but I think its time to take her out to Colonia. Nice video.
Thanks! I've taken my MK II to Colonia many of times and to Beagle Point. It was a lot of fun
I just made elite in exploration. At colonia bout to head to the center
Good luck o7
For exploring you should always fit an mining laser, to get materials for synthetic if you need it when you far, far away from bubble ;-)
You can use a srv on planets to get the mats easier ;)
@@therfspark3 you can not land on every planet ;-) you found more planets with rings as planets where you can land, and you have to found the with needed mats

Watch out for the space madness, cause it will set in after a while. I just got back from Beagle Point last month.

When you guys are long range exploring do you ever take your fleet carrier with you?

What's the total of credit for this build
Ship included
And without engineering? Pls i do not have them
Engineering doesn't make the price go up.
The total amount for the build is about 69 million.
@@therfspark3 oh thanks
@@therfspark3 and for the power management isn't the generator too bad?
@@blazealetv5220 You could use a 2a or a 3a if you don't have it engineered yet.
