Zoner GB or Kusari Explorer?

[jxie93]

I'm thinking of a new explorer character whose primary objective will be mapping the whole Sirius (Gailia too) . I have selected two affordable canndidates for this function. I already know the basic pros and cons for them but I need someone's first hand experience so I can decide which one is more suitable.

Zoner GB
pros:
- nice looking
- neutrality

cons:
- small powerplant

Kusari Explorer
pros:
- better energy
- more armour

cons:
- unknown (maneuvrability maybe?)

Basically I need some information regarding the handling and combat capabilities/performance for each ship, RP issues if there are any. If you have flown either of them please tell me what you think about them. Thanks.

the explorer has enough energy to basically cope with any loadout. mine's got 2 missiles, 2 pulses and 3 razors and never has plant issues. However it has unbelievably bad maneouvreability. Like, almost unusable. It's like a transport I guess. It's awful.

Ha! You're funny. I recommend the Explorer if only to stereotype the Zoners less. Certainly, no favors are being done.

Explorer is great, for raw power. Its like a mini-cruiser...

Only the handling is as bad as a cruiser =/

Zoner gunboat.

And if ANY sirian goes to gallia, you will be hunted down and shot like a pig. Zoners too
Plus, GRN Is supposed top be hostile to all Sirians. So Please, dont go " BUT IM ZONER IM NEUTRAL"
Because you will not make it. The zoner gunbpat is the only one that MIGHT survive the bomber patrols though

Well, if you're going to be an Explorer, then the Kusari Explorer would make more sense in RP. Or you could get a Spatial, same idea.

How is the handling on a Spatial then? Combat performance?

Okay let's look at it this way, I'd like something that'll be moderately maneuvrable, and armour thick enough to stand up to Outcast Lolboat.

Zip?

Maybe a 9 deb spatial with a SNAC?

Sounds nice, does Spatial handle like a bomber or VHF then?

Explorer means to me good handling, cause you often have to steer through Asteroid Fields. I wouldn't take a Gunboat for exploring. Just my humble opinion.
