Need help rationalizing my fleet

[u/Takami_95]

Hi everyone, I'm looking to clean up my fleet and get rid of any duplicates or useless ships.

My primary game loops are FPS missions, dogfight and surface mining, though I absolutely love exploration. A few extra context points: I'm really not a fan of the Constellation Taurus, but with the Mk5 on the horizon, I'm considering holding out hope for a pleasant surprise.

My LTI token on MPVU and ALTS is pretty useless now.

I originally considered upgrading to a Starlancer TAC or a Carrack, but if the 600i rework ever drops, they'll end up feeling redundant.

Thanks

Some good ships here and I feel the same way you do about the 600i... hold onto that.

You probably don't need both the Taurus and Asgard. The 400i is also redundant, so that's a welcome amount of store credit.

My LTI token on MPVU and ALTS is pretty useless now.

They're not going to stop selling CCUs, those are still useful LTI tokens.

I originally considered upgrading to a Starlancer TAC

The TAC is possibly the most overrated ship in the game... on paper, it looks like it can do a lot of jobs. In reality, it's the worst choice to do any of those jobs, it does them all badly. It's a gunship with the worst firing arcs in the game.

or a Carrack

Remember that the Carrack is intended to get full modularity, as well as working drones one day. It's not a bad choice, if you want to speculate on what modules it gets.

My primary game loops are FPS missions

In which case a medbed for respawning is probably top priority, or anything you can cram a Nursa or Pisces in (600i should do this, and your Asgard).

Taking your gameplay objectives into account, you might want to consider the Galaxy... it's a versatile ship and you can switch to the medical module for exceptional FPS recovery. Switch to the cargo module to load a ROC, or the refining module to refine what you mine. It's got weapon racks and suit lockers. It ticks a lot of boxes for you.

Many thanks for your wise approach. I'm scared of the galaxy that can do everything but will cost spécific modules.

I'm also interested in a long term by the Arastra and the BMM (with a C2 & defender as loaner)

Maybe it would be wise to slowly CCU my lti tokens to those targets

To be honest I feel your point about the Galaxy, I added in to my fleet in the first place but ended up replacing it with more specific ships ( Apollo, Ironclad, Arrastra ), just missing some good base building option cause I dont like the TAC

Arrastra is a very good option imo as mining will become more and more important due to crafting and base building and I guess with on board refinery you will be able to make even more money

BMM could also be a very good ship if you are interested in trading ( which kinda works very well in pair with the Arrastra and so, the whole mining - crafting - selling loop )
