= Ship = [[File:Lancer Green.png|alt=The Galtek Freighter, your exploration vessel.|thumb|The Galtek Freighter, your exploration vessel.]] You will find a lot of raw and refined resources out in the wild so a big cargo ship like the [[Galtak Freighter]] is ideal. You will also need to patrol to keep all the factions friendly with you to keep pirates off your back, so ensure your ship isn't completely unfitted. Again, the Merchant talent Garner Favor can also help with reputation if you are selling big bundles of resources for over $5,000 in sales in foreign markets. Increase your ship's maximum Navigation stat via Navigation Assist Modules to aid when fleeing combat, which early game you will have to. === Optimized Ship Strategy === Nearing maximum efficiency for exploration requires two ships and there is really no way around that. One ship should be fitted with all of the harvesting, mining, and [[Ship Components]] it can. The other ship should be fitted with escape modules, plenty of piloting, and at least four, if not five or six cargo holds. Optimizing that even further, you will require another ship, if not two more, for a total of four. You will want your exploration ship, your cargo hauler, a ship purely for combat, and finally one for spying. This kind of setup is an absolute end game scenario, as you will be doing exploration, combat (both ship and crew), and spying all simultaneously--all the while maintaining your faction reputations, watching rumors, conflicts, and fighting off Xeno. Good luck! === Tips on Avoiding Ship Combat === If you do wish to completely avoid ship combat, consider the ECCM Module. It gives you a bonus to escape, but it does weigh more than other mods, so take that into account. There are many talents that allow you to avoid ship combat. You should be able to easily get crew members or officers with the appropriate jobs to obtain these talents. {{#lst:Talents Reference|Table_Header}} {{#lst:Talents Reference|Military Officer Stiff Salute}} {{#lst:Talents Reference|Merchant Jettison Cargo}} {{#lst:Talents Reference|Smuggler Forged Permit}} {{#lst:Talents Reference|Pirate Terrifying Extortion}} {{#lst:Talents Reference|Pirate Blackheart Fraud}} {{#lst:Talents Reference|Spy Counterfeit Identity}} {{#lst:Talents Reference|Table_Footer}}
