The Caspian Explorer Changes Everything – Full Breakdown

Meet the Caspian Explorer, Zorgon Peterson’s latest large-class vessel built for long-range exploration in Elite Dangerous. Designed as the spiritual successor to the Mandalay, the Caspian Explorer introduces a new era of deep-space engineering — complete with three exclusive MkII modules, a Size 8 Frame Shift Drive, massive optional internals, and a panoramic cockpit built for cinematic descents.

In this video, I break down everything you need to know:

• What makes the Caspian Explorer unique
• How the new MkII modules work
• Landing performance, planetary glide improvements, and near-surface handling
• Its multi-role potential for mining and trading
• Hardpoint placement & self-defence capability
• Full internal layout and technical specifications
• Whether it deserves a place in your fleet
• And whether it will reshape the exploration meta in 2025

This ship is built to take Commanders further into the Black than ever before — and with ARX Early Access launching on December 2nd, this is your complete guide before you buy.

If you’re an explorer, miner, traveller or long-range hauler, the Caspian Explorer might be your next flagship.

Thanks for watching, Commander — fly safe.
