I ' m going to assume you have 1210 worth in melt . Exploration Aquila $ 275 , comes with snub and rover Trade BMM $ 250 Mining Prospector $ 140 Combat Vanguard Warden and Sabre $ 250 , $ 170 125 remaining credits towards a cutlass black game package to leave you with $ 10 remaining . My reasoning is that the Aquila and BMM would be a much better ships for you and your mates since the Terrapin can ' t fit all 5 of you and you can only be onboard on ship at a time between the Taurus and the Max when you ' re off trading . The Warden hopefully after some balance passes and further work and the Sabre would allow you to chose between range and tankiness , and agility . I dropped the SH since you already have a Sabre for short range combat and the Warden if you require durability . The new Cutlass is pretty impressive and it would work as a jackofalltrades ship even if you ' re piloting it alone for times when the Aquila and BMM are empty .
