Exploration is about the journey, not the destination. Maximum jump range is just maximum safety net IMO. It's rarely important when actually exploring.

Exploration is very much about the journey and tweaking routes. Even on a direct line to Colonia I found far more undiscovered systems travelling in a Sidewinder. One note I would make is that having a longer jump range means that the smaller jumps as you explore around a fixed point use much less fuel, giving you more safety margin to find a fuelstar if things go terribly wrong!

Yeah when you are at the galaxy border you def need the jump range

Jump range helps you explore remote areas where stars are far apart. It also could save you a lot of time traveling if you wanna get somewhere. Let's say I'm in the Bubble but I wanna be exploring in the galaxy's centre. Having more jump range will save me a lot of time getting here. And the main reason why I'll get the new ship is how it looks and the cockpit view. I love my Krait Phantom. Beautiful ship but god I hate those pillars on top left and top right that block your view quite a lot when trying to take in a view like Nebula. New ship is gonna have the best jump range, great mobility, beautiful cockpit with a good view. Sure Asp explorer will still be the king when it comes to view. But I just don't like the ship itself that much and oh my god the cockpit itself looks so cheap. It's just scratched metal. New ship is pretty much a dream come true for me. It's pretty, great jump range, nimble, good view, pretty cockpit.

I'll still be getting a Mandalay ASAP. The improvements are nice, but my main concern is it's landing footprint. If I feel it's too large, I'll put the ship away for "as needed" use. For me, those improvements just aren't worth having to skip bio's on a regular basis. My trusty DBX hasn't failed me yet.

Keelback, for exploration. Just about 40ly jump range, means I hit more systems, rather than blow right by them. Currently heading to sagittarius A* and loving it!

Good use of the Keelback. I have one set up for larcency and smuggling, no shields, low temperature, drop on black boxes like a shdow, and FA-off into a station from 10 km out with no scans. Glorious.

Ah but where's the RPG in that! The idea of a battered and silent rustbucket is somewhat appealing.

Interestingly while the 5A SCO is better than the size 5 v1 in every way, the size 6 v1 has a slightly better jump range than the 6A SCO. I should really do the same comparison for the smaller sizes...

THe FSD 6v1... that's a rarity. As I recall it was only available as a CG reward? I know back i the day I sprinted by long-duration exploraconda back to the bubble to grab it, and then headed back to the Formidine rift to carry on a 12month excusrion!

And there are some of my ships that make me smile every time I use them for certain activities. Like when my Cutter is interdicted, after the two turreted beams burn off their shields, I get to unleash the 5 packhound launchers. Packhounds are hilarious!

I'd like a stealth ship with corresponding game play. Exploration is not about jump range except in corner cases. Too bad exploration in ED is a procedurally generated borefest.

Wait... did you say Sisyphean? I love it. I have to say i am disappointed that the new mat/ engineering update did not include a mechanic regaining at least some of our mats from selling our numerous fitted FSDs. Hundreds of hours of mat collecting sitting on a dusty decommissioned shelf. Thanks again for the vid.

I think Sisyphean fits quite nicely! I get the argument for recovering maybe half the mats on a breakdown, perhaps it's too hard to find a refund mechanism in the spaghetti-code. What I was hoping for, given all the new modules, was a raise of the 200 limit. As an old-timer, I remember when it went from 100 to 200, but really, with all the AX options, it's time to bump it up more!

@@modernspectrumgaming The word fits perfectly, just love that you used it. I remember the increase too. However in every spacegame i end up with Inventory OCD anxiety, and just want stuff i don't use gone. Too much stuff, but for the masses more is probably better

I always remember the Archimedes for the game Virus. Classic. Elite Dangerous has the same steep cliff, but once you can fly in the sandbox, there's lots to do!
