@Adiran the Cutlass Red comes stock with a full set of scanners, as well, and also has a tractor beam. It could be used, out of the box for exploration, and could be very useful in those situations where you find a nest of weird genetically enhanced critters have eaten the whole crew on a now derelict station. Just my 2 cents. :)

I can guarantee this. Goons and other large orgs will be searching for bengals. Smaller eploration group will be looking so that they can sell the locations to bigger orgs. Imo we need to find 2 asap, otherwise we may lose a power grasp. dont want it to end up like test eve and wondering without a home.
You will use fuel only for conventional travel. Once you get to a jump point the "rift" opens up and you go threw. so no fuel is needed to use jump points.
Yes the cutlass red can be used as a explorer as well but is designed for ship finding (more of a pvp/rescue role and less of a pve role). Every ship can be used / fit to work as a exploration ship, however I Intended to do write ups on the "out of the box" exploration ships that are explicitly designed from the beginning to explore. The cutless red is designed for search and rescue, so it will be a great ship I am sure to find the derelict space craft, the write up on it makes it seem like its not going to find much ells. This will be the last ship I will do a write up on.
once the game launches I guarantee test will have exploration fleets searching for just that as well as jump points for the first week or so at least. I intend to be leading fleets for a good time period after launch as exploration and pvp are going to be my main focus in game.

it would seem so. At least going off the writing for the ships designee/function. Specially made for search and rescue of damaged/derelict crafts.

For derelicts, I would be completely unsurprised if we can READ THE LORE so far for hints as to where to find ships. Bengal Carrier? Where was an old battle involving one? Where were any lost, that we know of? Place to start the search. Who wants to be a "lore master" to compliment our "explorers"? Bard... HA! "I'M GONNA DIE!!!" -Flynn the Fine

I thought that the devs said there was no leaks about where the bengals were and that they don't know until it they are placed by CR.

Okay, no lottery jackpot, but my general point stands. Investigate the LORE in expLORE, and make it work for us.

I would love them to have some lore bengals that were destoyed deep in vanduul space.
I have no doubt that using lore is a good way to find them. Yes there is no leaked exact place they will be, but what are they going for agin? realism? oh ya that means at least in the area where battles may have happened there might be one. I have no doubt they will be in vanduul space. maybe we will even find a derilect ship that was a exploration ship that has a "Area" they were going to hunt for one in. who knows.

For Bengals we'll need to search high, low, and sideways to find them in the most unlikely spots and every avenue or lead must be explored to its fullest extent even if it is just a blip on the scanner.
Failing that we ready a TEST warband to take over someone else's Bengal and drive THAT into the sun.

So what your saying is everyone needs to quit their jobs and play SC 24/7 until we have a bengal or take one from someone else, preferably goons. My only question is... who is going to be providing my mead during this trip?

2nd Jobs that pay nothing are good for the soul. I learned that from Eve.

I said nothing of food, only mead!
I too learned from EvE and my 2nd job there... and then disappointment in CCP *balancing the game*.
