That model of fighter(note the long wings reaching out to the nose specifically), will always cap at 38+12 slots at S-class…only fighters with those long wings can go above 30 slots.
Ol blue is a 38 S The exotic is a 19 - as I don’t use them as mains, and switch them out pretty frequently the slot count doesn’t matter to me for those.
As a general purpose ship I do like my exotics over fighters. The 1300+ light year range and having a fully upgraded phase beam is all I need at the moment. Although Next might make me change that opinion.
Yup. Me too. They make great all rounders.
Got 2, both set up as you described; with maxed out laser & shielding.
1 is full of exocraft makings, for general exploration & portal visits, while the other is usually empty for cargo. Both have the warp & pulse upgrades for economical region & system travels.
Will be interesting to see if any new starships come in NEXT.
I tend to grab things and sort through them later, so I need those extra slots. I do use one for fighting pirates in missions, and another is my black hole jumper.
I have a very similar setup, although I don’t store anything in them (think the 4 empty slots are full of tropheum atm) I keep everything for building exo’s and doing repair missions etc in the exosuit high cap and fuel stuff in the general one
Should I post an imgur album with my all s class fleet here? I dont have coords, although I might be able to get them. Also, @SingularGleam I believe you’ve already seen it.
