[@GodNeedsNoReligion]

He's a got an old engineered sensors, with a very high engineer roll so the sensors here weigh 11.75 tonnes while current engineers can only get them down to 12.8 tonnes. This means mini can reach 84.32 while the rest of us can "only" reach 84.17 LY range. I wonder if there are others out there who have more perfect rolls for lightweight parts that would allow them to beat this record. If they tried, that is.

[@D1NKYDEEJAY]

Me buddy. I've just beat this record tonight. My sensors are also lightweight legacy. With a mass reduction of 82.7%. Supercharged I jump 337.57ly (yet to find a jump at 337.57ly, tonight I managed 337.42ly). Check my game clip. Hugh Jaas II on xbox.

[@Spartan086]

I remember when I thought my T7 was a good exploration ship and that I wouldn’t recommend an Anaconda to explorers...big mistake. Then I was introduced to the Junpaconda. Haven’t touched a T7 since, and went to Beagle in my Jumpaconda for the first time and its current range is 74.74 Ly with a full optional interior (still need to engineer my 3A Prismatics for G5 low, enhanced)

[@valije]

As someone mentioned in the comments before, the current max you can get is 84.17 ly. The only way to get more jump range is to have one module (FSD or Sensors) with a very lucky draw on the old engineers. Another thing. You can use a bigger fuel tank as long as you only fill just enough to make the next jump and still have extra space just in case you find an unscoopable star in your way. They only jump distance that matters is the max distance. Flying on fumes all the way, baby! :D

[@Crusina]

thx giraffe

[@GhostGiraffe]

You’re welcome! Haven’t seen you in a while. How’s it going?

Impressive and fun video. But the best thing about having a ship that cannot jump that far? A large fuel tank that doesn't drain immediately and forces you to plan your route via scoopable stars...

Why did you waste a synth if you were using a neutron? It doesn't stack. I wish it did.

[@gac9513]

@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM I didn't know that at the time. It would be logical that it stacked because synthesizing isn't straining the fsd its just better fuel. Then the added strain from the neutron. Sadly didnt work

You have to engineer the thrusters in 2 phases pay attention to the video!

[@etackhelicopter]

If he's setting the distance record, he would be completely out of fuel after the first jump. Yes, the tank holds 8T, but the first record was set by draining the tank of as much fuel as possible, to make the ship as light as possible, to increase the range to maximum.

I'm confused, so fuel transfer limits work to fuel your own ship if you run out of fuel? or it transfers fuel from your ship to another ship ( does it use your ship's fuel to fuel another ship ? )
