Hello CMDRs,
I'm doing bounties and have enough credit upgrade to a new ship.
What you guys think is best , ASP or Vulture ?
I was thinking ASP because have better jump-range.
Thanks in advance for your advice

Vulture hands down.
Vulture is a combat high performance ship.
The asp scout is the Toyota Hiace of the space lanes.

If you're doing bounties jump range isn't as big a deal as combat capability. You can always dock along the way on a long journey if you don't carry a fuel scoop.

I currently have an Asp which I use for long range exploration. I've been to Sag A and back in it. Has a Jump Range of about 31 LY.

sorry I forgot to mention that I work also on power and need to move item around quite often so with longer jump I could do it faster.
Atm I use a Viper Mk4 for bounties but takes ages to move items around.
So the ASP compared to the Viper Mk4 is a good upgrade for bounties ?
Maybe I should just buy and Adder/Hauler put a 3A FSD and just used it to move items around and got for Vulture ?

Given your current game play I would say that a Vulture is your best bet for combat, and a second ship like a hauler or adder (for now) for PP hauling.

Go for the Vulture, and you will have more than enough credits for a full grown Asp Explorer in no time

But that's probably and asp x not the scout.
I looked at the scout and honestly it has as much issues with long range or just basic mp work as the dbx, in fact I would rather recommend the dvx than a scout.
While the scout is the Hiace of the space lanes the asp explorer is the Volkswagens caravelle.

I converted my explorer conda into a miner and got the asp x for exploring.
