    A good idea is to get TWO AFMUs. Get a small 1 or 2 class and a larger 3 or 4 class. Turn the smaller one off. It is there to repair the larger one if something really bas h a ppens to it. This is a really good idea if you spend a lot of time in The Black or go on an extended ecploration mission.

    • @TheCammerhammer
      @TheCammerhammer 8 місяців тому +9

      I'd say as a veteran explorer that this isn't strictly necessary. AFMUs do not suffer malfunctions like some other modules do, so it will keep working right down to 1% integrity. It's extremely rare to run into a situation in which your AFMU cooks but the rest of your ship is intact enough to make this a problem, but in the rare case that it _does_ happen, you can perform a reboot/repair sequence and your ship will scavenge enough materials to get your AFMU back online. I have personally never had a situation in which I have needed to rescue my AFMU this way, though.

    Approximately 2000ly above and below the galactic plane towards the inner half of the galaxy there are the "neutron fields"
    If you can find them it's the easiest way to neutron boost, no hassling with spansh, just plot your route and the galaxy map will find all the neutron stars, plus you will find plenty of undiscovered systems. Maybe it's not ideal for colonial, but awesome for exploration or making your way to beagle point
    You'll definitely want 2 afmu's,

    I use the Colonia Bridge route in conjunction with Neutron jumps. There are plenty of Neutron Stars between Fleet Ship positions and there are 56 positions on the Colonia Bridge that are roughly 400ly apart. It's safer and faster and you can stop mid stream and find fresh unexplored exo planets for profit using a CB fleet carriers as a temporary base. With my 76ly conda that is spec'd with a dual srv, I can get a max 300ly neutron ump range so it's often one neutron jump and then 2 normal jumps if I want to stick to the bridge. I often skip some CB fleet ship stars to maximize time and distance then stop to refuel, repair, explore or just log off. I've made it from Tir to Cubeo in roughly 2.5 hours with a non-stop.

    Perfect, I couldn't remember what the name of the neutron plotter was, Spansh. I came across a couple of neutrons randomly over the past week and found that using the boost was far easier than I remembered back in 2018 or so. Now those white dwarfs on the other hand...
    I'm planning on heading to Colonia at some point in the future, got both a DBX & ASPX perfectly capable of it, but I kinda feel like using my carrier instead. I feel like it'd be more efficient these days doing a few 500ly pulls while exploring nearby systems during the cooldowns and then perhaps extensively looking around after a few carrier jumps in a row.
    I still need to do the grind for Guardian tech like the FSD Booster, and rank up Combat a little, and start Mining so I can get the other Engineers unlocked before I head out, as well as more fuel for the carrier and a couple more Power Play modules. I'm also kinda waiting for my friend to finally get off his ass and get a few things done first. He got into the game for a bit and started bouncing around between others, hasn't started any of the real grind yet aside from very basic Engineering, but does like Exploration. I'm trying to get him up to at least owning a Python, so far he's got a decent ASPX and maybe a Cobra mk3 still.

    Hi, just a quick note: @4:05 you should use the "Target system" icon just below the one you show in your video. That way, you don't ask the system to draw a route you don't need, because hopefully it's just a simple jump. Nor do you have to worry about the parameters used to trace a route.
    What's more, the route plotter sometimes misjudges the actual range of the ship, and I've had occasions when it suggested a stopover where none was needed.

    When scooping the cone for the fsd boost you can hit it at a 90 degree angle (or whatever angle you want) and just slow down to make sure you get the boost. This can shave some time off of your travels because you don't need to line up a specific angle.

Then decided, hey why not a 22000ly trip in an asp explorer that only does like 30ly jumps. No special engineering. By the time I got to colonia (took about a month) I collected enough exobio and cartography for like 400million but I skipped quite a few systems so if I'd taken like two months and scanned all the systems and bio id probably have closer to a billion.

    Also with using spanish to plot the route, does that mean it's all been explored, so no first time discovery awards etc. so Option is either get there quickly using spanish, or take your time and plot your own random route one step at a time :) It's about the journey not the destination :)

      It’s not super complicated in theory, it just takes time. You want a Class A FSD engineered to long range grade 5 with mass manager. The large guardian FSD booster and everything else just use the lightest weight modules you can. Sometimes that’s a D rated module, other times it’s a smaller A rated module but you want lightweight engineering on everything but the FSD. A fully engineered Anaconda has stupid jump range lol.

    I still use the old neutron plotter rather than the newer galaxy plotter. It has the advantage of only needing you to copy the neutron stars and letting ED’s default route plotter do the rest, which means fewer trips to the galaxy map (and less manual copying from my phone). It also doesn’t require me to put in a full ship build in, and instead just enter my jump range. My ship has a few partially engineered modules and a CG exclusive module, so I imagine entering all that would be a pain, especially on mobile.
