Elite Dangerous | Caspian Explorer as a Combat Ship | Build & Performance

Its an expensive ship, has a large rebuy.... Builds 5 Rail & Cannon - put a cannon in the large slot for 4 rail https://edsy.org/s/vLwpovS 4 Rails & multicannon build https://edsy.org/s/vjuLDpL Or get a big bad railconda, which is a better platform for the ultimate railgun ship for PVE. The Caspian Explorer is available for ARX, its a large explorer with a special FSD to neutron boost further than any other ship, which is 6x the FSD range rather than 4x, which allows ships to jump to above 500 LY, further than any carrier! But its no good at landings, so I dont recommend at all for Exobiology. EXplorer Builds 480LY Caspian Explorer: https://edsy.org/s/vSHhZg8 527LY Caspian Colonia Taxi: https://edsy.org/s/vXj1oha Mandalay (4A - better shields): https://edsy.org/s/vPQej75 Costs Standard 19020 ARX, Stellar 38k, Galactic 69k. Its even an expensive ship for credits - Shin Dez discounted credit costs: Caspian 170M Anaconda 128M Cutter 183M. This seems to be the way of it, maybe this is inflation, maybe it serves to offer players a short cut with expensive ships of half a billion or more. Spansh Neutron Plotter: https://spansh.co.uk/plotter **CORRECTION** - Spansh updated - select "overcharge supercharge" when using the Caspian Explorer. Select "NormalSupercharge" for any older ships. Then input your start and end, FSD range as normal, efficiency can be adjusted as you please. I'm not a part of the Partner Program and have no affiliation with Frontier, this video was made based on the Caspian Explorer which was released on 2 Dec 2025, this ship was modified from the pre-ARX-release version which had problems with a small fuel scoop, this was fixed by making fuel efficiency very good, ie 1/3 of the original, a bodge in other words.
