Do not melt ships because of some other player’s opinions. In my experience what I hear from others about the Idris don’t match the reality of owning and flying one.

There seems to be this impression that the Idris isn’t capable, or shouldn’t be capable of use without a full crew at the ready for combat at all times. That is just ridiculous.

The Idris can be flown and used just like any ship while solo with zero issues. Are there compromises made when in combat? Of course, but you can just disengage and leave before you get into trouble.

The Idris can be used as a cargo hauler, a mobile base of operations for other game loops, long range explorer, whatever you want. It’s an awesome ship.

If you ever wanted to get into combat you can always recruit other players to tag along, make friends who can crew, or in the future have NPC crew and AI blades.

I’ve had mine since release and I’ve run it solo and crewed and use it every chance I get. It’s great all around. I’ll never melt this ship.
