Have fun. I do find the Adder quite limiting with poor outside visibility, but it is quite a good explorer. Personally, I was never able to get over the cockpit visibility. But if you really enjoy the Adder, I'm sure she'll get you there. There's CMDRs in Sidewinders out there; LOL.
Yeah, the canopy never really bothered me. Feels more "shipish" if that makes sense. It is even less cumbersome with the Vive since I can lean forward for a better look whenever I want.
Thanks for all the ship suggestions. I hope to bring back some decent coin for a new ship and will keep these ideas in mind. I find exploring much more interesting wearing an HMD than I have before, so the future is good for me to keep playing Elite for a while.
Quick update, I'm already about 750LY out. Just now starting to find some undiscovered planets around stars that were missed by others (thank you ADS). Hopefully soon I'll start finding whole undiscovered systems. Had a brief scare where I came across about 5 unscoopable stars in a row. That put me under 1/3 fuel after my next jump which is into my discomfort zone. I'd ideally rather not get under half and if I can I refuel at every star. Luckily the next star was scoopable and I have been carrying on my merry way.
