An added benefit of this module is that it's valued at 0 credits. Meaning; you can transfer it all over the galaxy for the default base price of 100 credits.

[@sjgoff]

Comes in handy when buying multiple. I bought 5 and transferred them to Farseer to add the mass manager experimental 👍

[@Neo-vz8nh]

Also reduce the rebuy cost.

[@sjgoff]

@@bountyhunter4455 It’s an experimental effect that can be added at an engineer to give you another few light years of range.

Just to answer the question, YES you can add an experimental effect. Mass Manager took my DBX with this drive from 69 to 72ly range. Just adding the drive took it from 66 to 69. Love it.

What do you have to do to add Mass Manager? I have no clue on upgrading.

@@brianzchuk It's difficult to know where to start, I agree. Start with watching "how to" videos on upgrading.

Also realize that some things may have changed after all the Odyssey updates.

will they be available forever? or just limited time

[@dumoneyyy]

@@psychokorp It'll get more expensive but It'll be available forever

[@thehunattila1]

@@psychokorp Good question. I went and bought 5 (all I think I'd need) due to them being on sale. A sale means that they will cost more eventually, which means they will still be around. All things I deduced, though you should get them now anyway. Treat it like powerplay and buy however many you think you will need now and call it done. The mats are very easy to get with the data being the only g5 and jameson's crash gives ez g5 data to trade and quick.

When I lived in Seattle I found an open box in my yard one day. I picked it up thinking it was trash but it was super heavy. Found a mug in there with a weird stopsign on it. It was from down-to-earth astronomy and addressed to my new neighbor. I brought it over to him and said welcome to the neighborhood. Then I moved to Mississippi and bought this game

[@TheKermit2110]

Astro, thanks so much for clarifying the additional jump bonus as I only thought it was double engineered with an arguably useless better boot up.

[@sjgoff]

Also great for combat builds that run over power. Set your FSD to a lower power priority to power off when weapons are deployed. If you get into a situation where you need to wake out in a hurry, the FSD only takes 2 seconds to come back online.

@@danielstokker you can armor your modules

[@danielstokker]

@@Kam1kaz3dreamer can you ? Is that still an option in the extra effects ? It would be better off with mass manager anyway i think its a terrible waste to armor it if that even works , because the double effect gives you slightly more range then normal grade 5 and it would ruin the range

[@droplifter3435]

​@@danielstokker I really don't know if this actually applies or not, but I know there's a module that adds integrity to modules. Module Reinforcement Package (MRP) Class 1-5, D or E of each size available. "The D-rated MRP has low damage capacity but high absorption of module damage. It can absorb a large proportion of module damage each time over a short period before running out of damage capacity. The E-rated MRP has high damage capacity but low absorption. It can absorb a small proportion of damage each time over a long period before running out of damage capacity." I fit a 2E MRP to my stock FDL pve combat build, and when I pulled the tail of a pair of medium ships with fighters, I tactically re-located with around 60% total HP remaining, but none of my modules were below 90% integrity, and most were at 99%. Maybe that helps?

You're a life saver. Im new to the game and just got myself to a Python. Looking to make it into a passenger build and saw I needed an engineered drive - well I haven't managed to get to far with Felicty yet so farming for this instead was much easier for me (and got a tone off exploration data to). Really useful video, great links and easy to use. Thank you, so much, from a new commander. o7. Edit: It also helped teach me a lot about how to find things - landing and using the SRV more and was just a massive extra learning experience. Farming and learning has never felt so fun.

[@inigma_ITC]

I'm on the same path. After saving up for your python, did you refit your ASPE for the farming or use a different ship/build?

[@COWBOYBARNMAN]

Thanks for the tip Astro. I should have thought about it a little more before I bought three of these. I was going to put one on the federal Corvette and one on the Anaconda, and after buying three I discovered those two ships require different size FSD. So anyway I put one on my krait Phantom and that increase the jump range from 63.64 to 66.57 so I'm happy with that.

Thanks dude, I've been trying to work out which one it was as it doesn't mention the extra effect on the left there. Now I know. Saved me much pottering and wondering :) Didn't help that I buggered off without it once I'd unlocked the thing because I was tired! Thank goodness for Inara, and your help. Hope you're enjoying your new HOTAS :) Can I ask what you think of this bit of forum chat: - For a class 4 FSD and lower, Deep Charge will net you slightly more range than Mass Manager. - For a class 5 FSD it mostly doesn't matter, both are super close to each other. - For a class 6 FSD or higher, Mass Manager nets you more range than Deep Charge. I suppose I can try both as you can overlay Exp options without losing the other two bonuses.

[@happyspaceinvader508]

A lot is glossed over in this video, such as: How to find (human) technology brokers: Inara > Data > Search nearest > stations, and then choose Technology Broker as the station service. In the list, it will differentiate Human from Guardian in the first column. How to make abandoned settlements (like "Dav's Hope") appear. Google the name and find out which system/planet it's on. Approach that planet and scan it with DSS. The settlement name should then show up in your navigation list. Additionally, there's actually only about 6 materials items here at any one time, so you will need to relog several times to get the full amount of materials you need.

[@Saturnit3]

I've found out that most tutorials about elite dangerous on youtube especially from the most popular uploaders are, mediocre at best. They gloss over so much stuff. I don't know why there aren't any good uploaders for this game, most videos are way too old too. An update or two will invalidate all the methods for these tutorials too and for some reason they never mention how you can make use of your full FSD range from the route settings>deactivate discovery focus>enable cone boost (so you can overdrive your neutron jump). I think this info should be in every video, so many newcomers haven't even unchecked that, imagine if you had to jump 125 times to get to that farming HIP system. As these videos get invalidated youtube creators don't even put the effort to delete the video or at the very least put a disclaimer below. Just one guy with the guts to put some effort into making noteworthy tutorials could blow out all these channels out the water. They're like chatbots, they point to a way, but there's no way to know if you can reproduce the same results.

[@Saturnit3]

Hawkes gaming has the most amount of info, backed with gameplay examples on these topics, however I think ED is a dying game and people moved onto the bigger projects. I don't blame them but man, just put a disclaimer, a new title or change the thumbnail to whether the method still works or not. It feels like these videos are made for already existing pros.

@@nathanstrong4359 That's the thing, using third party websites is NOT fun as it basically pulls you out of the game to accomplish things that should be done ingame. I get they are essentially VITAL to play Elite, but it shouldn't be the case, it's just Frontier being lazy... How hard would it be to implement an ingame equivalent of EDDB or Coriolis? It doesn't even have to be different, just flatly copy it, as long as it's IN the game. They could do that with the new spacelegs. Have computer terminals with these information. That way, you still have to make an effort by going finding them in stations, but at least you keep players withing the game.

I'm a huge fan of the module since it helps some of the smaller ships close the gap a bit to the Anaconda in terms of jump range. I'm really glad there is no class 6 variant of this though, the Anaconda is OP enough.

[@joshuacole5608]

If they had gone with class 6 I think that would firmly have killed the aspx and dbx following. There wouldn’t be anything to explore with besides the conda

[@manrightchea]

You know that reminds me of why I'm not a fan of the Anaconda, honestly that ship should have been balanced a long time ago but Frontier refuses to do it due to backlash. It honestly holds back every ship in the game from being better and it holds back any future ship from being better. That's why ships like to Type 10 end up being unremarkable is because the Anaconda does too much well.

[@bmwracer67]

@@manrightchea Exactly my thoughts. Anaconda and Cutter are probably the two most overpowered ships in the game. Frontier has mentioned they will be looking at a ship balance pass after Odyssey. Improved balance among ships sounds almost more exciting than new ships in my opinion, but we'll see if and when that happens.

[@manrightchea]

@@bmwracer67 I agree honestly I don't even want new ships until they balance the Anaconda for the same exact reason we just talked about. Until the Anaconda gets a balance, any new large ship will be automatically outclassed. The ship should have a heavier hull mass. Makes no sense for a ship that large to weigh the same as an Alliance Challenger. It also has the highest overall effective DPS. It's got Superior convergence to the type 10 and slightly better hardpoint loadouts than the Vette. I mean it has a huge and three larges for God sakes, and each of them is right by the other for great convergence. Makes no sense even 2 huges and one large with poor placement underneath doesn't make up for three larges and a huge. Two mediums and two smalls in addition like it even needed that much..if they were going to give it all that they should have given it 1 medium and 2 small. . EVERY other ship especially future ships, will be mediocre until something is done about it. There's a reason Frontier will only make new medium and small ships. That's because they know any new Large ship is going to be an automatic disappointment. People think that means you can't afford one when you criticize it, I'm a multi billionaire many times over and I still can't stand the ship. The other Big 2 could have been much better and the Type 10 could have been a true 4th, but they refuse to do what they know they should have done a long time ago. Also if you look at it from a story standpoint it's basically like humanity regressed. For a 500-year-old freighter to be better than modern warships means that humanity regressed. That's the current canon right now, somehow the makers of a five century old freighter made better technology than the Federation and Empire. You know I've felt for a long time that the Cutter has no business being tankier than the Corvette overall. Now the Corvette is still _slightly_ more dangerous than the right hands, but not enough. Yes it has harder armor but it needs more hit points than 666 base. Cutter has more and much more shields, the maneuverability is the only thing that makes the Corvette more dangerous in the right hands. I also feel like the Corvette should have had a size 7 frame shift and not a size 6.

I used to get DWEs with a wake scanner, but it was infuriating how rare they were. Now, if I need a stock of any encoded mat I just go to the Jameson Crash Site, farm for 15 minutes to max out my Adaptive Encryptors Capture storage, and cross trade for DWEs. It'll probably take less time to pop out to Jameson and come back than it will to scan enough wakes for 18 DWEs. There's no guarantee that you'll find a system in famine, whereas Jameson is persistent. Plus, you'll have additional AECs to trade for other encoded mats.

Didn't have to leave my System and I basically had everything I needed and My home station even has a Material Trader so I didn't have to go anywhere for the stuff I needed for the upgrade. Thanks again for the tip.

[@danielstokker]

How rhe hell can you be 63 jumps away from davs hope your probebly at colonia or some shit

[@tjyuy9685]

I got lucky I was able to get two of these bad boys since I already had the materials

[@SirKerrAvon]

Just stumbled across this fantastic video. Is this still in the game? Are there any overall progression/rank/unlock requirements for me to be able to collect the materials and the module from a technology broker? I have yet to even obtain the Guardian FSD, so I am looking for a straightforward way to boost my jump range.

[@dans2ndxbox360]

I just decided to get back into Elite.. my hotas should be here by Friday. It's going to cost me a couple extra engineering materials to get this stupid FSD boost... Just kidding, great video! I wish I'd known about this sooner although timing with ordering my hotas and this event ending would not have changed anything 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[@HeyYouYouAreFinallyAwake]

Went from 40ly to 65ly, definitely worth it.

[@MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

Hey bud. I hope they give us the unlock for the PDC and the Surface Scanner as well. I'd love to have more of those.

[@DowntoEarthAstronomy]

I'm pretty sure they will all be available eventually

[@Sinclair_Research]

Superb :)

[@argentumvulpus6060]

This took my dbx with full a rated modules and weapons but no engineering from 32 to 52 lyr jump range and took my unengineered combat built krait mk2 from 16 to 27 lyr

[@ysfsim]

I squeezed 66ly out of my dbx engineered, 60 on my orca, 58 on my dolphin and 51 on my beluga. All builds have 2 srv repair limped, afm and guardian boosters, no weapons and only one heat sink as utility.

[@joshuacole5608]

BE CAREFUL IN COMBAT The new fsd takes a HUGE hit on integrity, so if it gets damaged you won’t be able to jump out without repairs

Thank you for this. I was to level 3 for the Farseer lady when I saw this and tried it, now I have the drive (very happy). But just to be clear, what happens if I get blown up, does it come with my insurance or do I have to go through this whole thing again (I wasn't so sure from the video).

[@bigfoot9049]

Insurance replaces a ship including all equipped modules, you're fine.

My Asp Explorer reached slightly over 75ly unladen with the Guardian booster and class 5 FSD v1.

They picked that FSD size b cause it fits so much. It's great.

Ditto. Got myself 5 as well. :)

[@khatziOG]

Fsd mats are one of the easiest mats to collect. Im always looking for a way to dump them by trading in with other types

[@danielstokker]

@@khatziOG im having trouble finding arsenic tho you need that for tier level 5 upgrade

[@manrightchea]

@@danielstokker It's not worth it to look for Arsenic as it's much quite rare. It's best to get the Grade 5 version of a raw material and trade down at the Material Trader. There's a couple ways you can do this. In my opinion I think the best way is to get other grade 5 raw materials and then trade down for Arsenic even if you have to cross trade. For example if you spend some time at the Crystal Shard sites or the crashed Anacondas, you can load up on a lot of grade five raw materials easily. For instance max out something like Tellurium and cross trade down for Arsenic. Even though you'll get less per each one than if you had Polonium to trade, it'll still be worth it because you're getting multiple for each one. For instance let's say one Polonium trades directly for 6 Arsenic *(I'm not looking I'm just using this as an example it might not be six)* Well one Tellurium might trade for 3 Arsenic since it's a cross trade. even so it's still a better option than looking for a manually because you're getting multiple for each one and it's a lot easier to find Tellurium or Zirconium. Do you get what I'm saying?

[@Khunvyel]

​@@manrightchea You speak the truth; it's often less time consuming to go with things that are easier to attain and just trade them in. Problem is, many a people don't see that because they think "well but I have to TRADE IN, so I am doing a loss, so I rather search the thing on my own" without knowing a point of reference. To further prove your point: Arsenic -> Mercury -> Polonium in the same row. So you get 9 Arsenic for 1 Polonium, and 3 for one mercury. From other rows, you trade Arsenic in a 2:3 ratio from other grade 4 materials. And then you can find planets which have all three of these materials, including geological signals. So that's a triple win, because you can trade everything down, if you so desire, for the fastest coverage. I do wonder though what arsenic has to do with anything in this context, because the level 5 drive covered in this video comes PRE-ENGINEERED and neither Mass Manager nor Deep Charge experimental needs Arsenic, so the person you answered to maybe got a bit confused or talked about other FSD sizes. I still think Arsenic has always been an easy material to get. Your info is relevant either way though :) with a minor correction; there are no grade 5 raw materials, only 1 to 4.

[@manrightchea]

@@Khunvyel Oh yeah my bad I forgot about the Grade 4 thing on raw materials lol. Yeah I think he might be a newer player which there's nothing wrong with asking, it's better to ask than to not know. He could buy the drive and the video but there are some times where it might not be a good idea. Due to the integrity I wouldn't put one in a combat ship I'd rather keep the integrity and be able to use another hull reinforcement that a module reinforcement. That's just me though. You also have to keep in mind Arsenic necessary for the Reinforced shield generator.so if you want to make a meta Prismatic or Bi-Weave for instance.. Also right now it's still necessary for every other size but 5. Since this new drive is only a size 5. It's better right now but eventually after Thursday it's going to be a lot more expensive to buy this drive. Thing is though just avoiding the grinding along makes it worth the price even at the higher price IMO. That's why I went ahead and bought plenty of them lol. Arsenic was never terribly difficult to find but it had a low enough drop rate where I felt like I just never found it back in the day. Like other people were lucky, but I didn't seem to have good luck finding it so I was glad when we could trade for it. that's basically what I've been doing the past couple days is just trying to max out materials and data. Make myself max it once and for all so I never come back again. You probably know how it is being an old head on this game. You start running out of motivation..

For tellurium go to Orrere system planet 2b there is a crashed ship which containers are outside but shoot those who aren't completely out of ground who look like box you will have 4 type of minerals which tellurium reset you got it pretty quickly got 26 in 15 minutes plus huge blue containers with palladium and other expensive minerals you can sell on station at less than 200 light years from Sol it worth it

[@jasonbarker5955]

I was rocking a class5 already engineered for range on my federal gunship with no experimental and purchased this module. I couldn't tell which was which in the outfitting. They looked the same to me other than one was outfitted and the other in storage. It shows up as a class 5 fully engineered for range once purchased so???? Did i put the experimental on the first drive or the newly purchased one? who knows

[@PaulaBean]

So, what was your jump range in lightyears before and after fitting this FSD?

[@PaulaBean]

Still waiting for an answer ;-)

New player here. What did I do? I was able to buy 2 before the purchase cost went up. I then went to farseer to start engineering. I went up to shielded fsd grade 2, accidentally applied it to three fsd and all the benefits of the special fsd were gone..🤦🏻‍♂️ luckily I had two...

for all trying to follow this today, you have to find the crystals in Horizons, Odyssey has an entirely (arguably worse) system for gathering the tellerium.

How is it different in Odyssey? I landed on a Tellerium 1.7% system… and I can’t find needle crystals anywhere (just Piceous cobble and Crystaline something).
