The Type 6 carried me through a lot of the early game and helped me earn enough for the Asp Explorer.

The Type 6 is the best exploring ship i will ever have. I'm a noob in ED because i started playing in October 2023. Since then i have 640+ hours playtime and i can assure you that roundabout 150+h are in the Type 6 now. My "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is painted in bright orange and i love it to go exploring and do exobiology. He is small enough to land practically everywhere, jumps about 53+ ly and with my new engineered thrusters (338/528m/s) i can easily outrun thargoids when i accidently step over them. I also made my first billion in exobiology with him a few days ago.

Dont know what it is. But i love this ships aesthetics. I love the brick

I use one of these for farming engineering materials. With engineering and an FSD booster, I've got it up to a 54 light year jump range.

I just love the industrial no-nonsense look. When I'm feeling particularly pedantic, I call it the Bauhaus look but on those days I'll be flying the Dolphin. 🧐 No really, the Dolphin has similar stats.

More credits than I know what to do with but I still love the T6. Industrial/brutalist block shape just calls to me 😏

Beat value for money ship, in my humble opinion. Fully engineered it's nimble and fast, with a good range.

Not going to lie, I was pretty surprised just how well I could get it to stick to the backside of an Anaconda or two - admittedly not high threat Anacondas, but even so, it was like being glued to the tail - for a good 5 minutes in one case, just peppering it with small frags.

I've got 7 of them. Love the utilitarian look of it. With a 5H Guardian FSD booster & exploration package, I average about 57Ly. I like throwing in an extra fuel tank & getting 650+Ly between refueling. And it is a bit of fun to head to a hi-res site and join the cops in a bit of pirate hunting!

Thanks, glad you liked it - I know you were after a Type-6 review from previous comments, so hope I was fair to it. 650ly between refuelling stops is impressive - plus in a hi-res, it's the ship that nobody expects to fight back.

I really liked this ship. Now trade with a Type 9 - but have fond regard for the Type 6.

@gamingsnipsandbits 11 ай бұрын

Been flying the Type-7 a lot recently for the latest review (going live tonight, maybe...), and the more I fly it, the more I like and respect the Type-6. As for the Type-9, that thing is fantastic for trading, despite it's shortcomings.

Tbh the python is all you'll ever need if you're just going be trading. Since it can land everywhere. Plus is just like the cobra mk3 which you could also use it for bounty hunting

It's a small ship with a big heart. Yay! ... and a small hold. Oh.

@williamvorkosigan5151 Жыл бұрын

Is there anywhere that only has a small landing pad? Perhaps there is but I have never noticed one. P.S. I was horrified to discover that the Asp Scout, no, no I did says Scout, is the perfect High Grade Emission Farmer. I went to Coriolis and ordered ships by manoeuvrability and stopped at the first one that could hold everything I wanted. It was the Asp Scout. I was dubious but built it anyway. It works great.

@gamingsnipsandbits Жыл бұрын

I'll bear that in mind when I get to the Asp Scout and have a play with them. A vessel with "scout" in the name evokes images of recon and research, so that fits pretty well - as well as search and rescue jobs. There's a lot of hate out there for the AspS, but I like to try and get at least some positive spin on the ships out there. As for sites with only small pads - I'm sure I've seen at least one planetside site like that, but I may be mistaken - especially if beer was involved at the time 🙂

Many planetary bases have only small. That's why I use my Cobra for planetary trading instead.

It is a nice ship indeed. Next upgrade would be the Type-7. No really, look at the cargo to price ratio.

@garynevills5562 Жыл бұрын

The problem with the Type-7 is it overheats at the drop of a hat. You'll get a temperature critical warning every time you come out of hyperspace. Pop a heat sink and activate your FSD, and your heat index will still be over 70% when you jump. If FDev fixes that, I might buy one again, because just like the Type-6, it would make a surprising decent exploration vessel.

I have a type 7 I use as taxi bubble with prismatics and lightweight reverb torpedoes to troll gankers. Matter of fact the other day a fdl interdicted me at deciat (bummer) and I got his shields down he high woke in utter fear. Never underestimate type 7 😂😂😂

This thing is ugly blocky unfinished and looks like it's being held together with duct tape. But it gets the job done and makes me a lot of space cr. As a new commander. I'm happy with it. I'm saving for a python. I play on PlayStation so we don't have the Odyssey version of trade routes on inara. But I can make a million cr in profit every 5 mins just selling Triton which as a console peasant I can say it is not bad my type 6 can do 30 lyr jump without engineering it.
