Tricentennial explorer, bounty hunter and space trucker. Currently residing on my Victory class carrier Bernard Fokke, my pride and joy. (And it can be anywhere in the Milky Way.)
Good video, but I doubt the Caspian will be be an "exploraconda killer". From the specs, it's arguably an inferior alternative to a fully engineered exploraconda.
It will be great for the neutron highway, though.
I will definitely get one. If only to see if I can make a useful explorer out of it.
📹 New Video!

🌠 A full review of not only the new Caspian Explorer ship but also the balance and gameplay changes coming to on-foot combat as part of the update next week. 🏃‍♂️ 🔥

The new suit looks nice, although I've never liked the helmet. So hat it is.
Now I'm being "ordered" to do some powerplay mischief? I thought I was a deniable asset, we don't get ordered around!
OK, I'll do it. Just let me slip into something more comfortable. (Ship, that is.)

I hope someone at @frontierdev.bsky.social watches these reviews.
Unless the issues with the size of the fuel scoop and fuel tank is adressed, I doubt many explorers will buy this ship for Arx. (Unless they're compulsive ship hoarders like I.)
Explorers need to jump often, not necessarily far.

After the slight disappointment with what I had hoped would be my new large exploration ship, I'm going out in my smallest one.
As always, the groves are very scenic.
But according to my suit the temperature is rising, meaning that the sun is about to rise.
Let's call it a night.

Bottom line? I wouldn't recommend the Caspian for hardcore explorers.
I'm still watching this stream, and it's very comprehensive. And the Caspian is a very good ship, but it has some drawbacks that I think will be an issue for many explorers.
So here's my impression from the stream:

OK, I'll be getting one of these next week. However, I can't resist the opportunity to be a killjoy.
Both the fuel scoop and fuel tank (size 7 max) seems undersized for a size 8 FSD. Meaning longer time to refuel, and a handul of jumps before it runs dry. Unless the mk2 FSD has better fuel economy.

This could actually turn out to be kind of interesting.

Hello, my British followers! Can any of you enlighten me on the subject of Bovril - Exactly what is the difference between meat broth and Bovril?

Visting these sites during the night time is a bit like walking around in a dreamscape. That takes away some of the tedium of jumping between the three same "scars" to collect samples.

Going out again. Pedal to the metal!

Time to get in/put on my Sidey and go for some more exobio. Not sure if I'm flying or wearing it. It looks less ugly with this paintjob at least.

Maybe I should do some more exobio. Need to remember to pick the right body, though.

And I'm off in my new "ship" to do some exobio. Yes, the Sidey is small enough to land in the middle of these groves.

Time to buy, outfit and engineer a new ship again.

Let's go stump jumping for a while! And in case you didn't know, these farts will launch you into the air. Not very high though.

I went back to the carrier to switch for a ship better suited for exobio, although this is a mission runner. But it has a preengineered surface scanner, speed and two SRVs.
Still, there's something that feels a bit off about this place.
I'm not sure these "trees" are plants at all.

Here we go! (Yeah, right. 😁 )

We're about to see a really colourful snake farm in 15 minutes.
I'm just watching the EDDN user count tick up before the HIP 87621 event xD

Corax is ready. It's almost time to jump. Well, 32-ish minutes left, but soon. Very soon.

If we get the permit, jump in with your ship. If the permit is removed, jump in with your carrier. (Or ship if you don't have a carrier.)
Just a reminder, folks. HIP 87621 (the Terri Torra "Mystery System") unlocks at 16h00 UTC today.

I'm doing the last jumps back to the Bubble. Something is happening tomorrow. I'd better park near that mystery system.

So how did @frontierdev.bsky.social get the brilliant idea to nerf already colonised systems by retroactively applying new rules? Some of us have put some time and effort into building our colonies to become what they were before the nerf. And in many cases some Arx as well.
How about a refund?

Out of character and for the record, I actually enjoyed the new season of The Witcher, despite all the hate it gets. (Maybe because I never had that high expectations on it.)
But I got serious Noland-vibes ("feel the vibe of this place") from that vamp they picked up along the road.

Take the offer, this is a criminally underrated silly little voice.
I'm happy to help if you need a silly little voice to play with.
