MISSION PROFILE

A lighter Asp.

Frontier says the Asp Scout uses the same frame as its sister ship, the Asp Explorer, which its store page credits to Lakon Spaceways. The Scout is more manoeuvrable because its overall mass is lower.

The page names a lower hardpoint capacity as the trade-off, and says the Scout keeps the Explorer's jump range.

BEST FOR
Exploration on a medium pad, per Frontier.
TRADEOFF
Frontier says the lower hardpoint capacity makes it less suited to combat.
