I have a pretty decent Phantom for exploration. Yesterday for fun, I baught a Beluga. That was a mistake. It uas been stuck in my head since. The bridge. The slots. The sound. The sheer girth. The looks. And it handles quite decently too. Has anyone ever explored in a Beluga. Is it a mistake to swap from the Phantom?
The design I have mocked up on Coriolis gives me 52ly with 2 fighters, 2 SRVs, 2x 8100 AMFUs, Repair Limpets and all the usual exploration additions.
Edit:
Hi all. Thanks so much to this great community. You all helped me to boost my design emmensly. I've boosted the jump range, almost quadrupled the shield and mitigated heat greatly. I'm itching to get stuck in building this behemoth luxury explorer. Pity I can't dock my Phantom on it.
Here is the modified designed
See you in the black o7
