Can't add experimental to the pre-engineered 5A FSD
- Thread starter [DOOK] Droogie
- Start date
They differ:
G5 on both Increased Range and Reboot (so 2 second reboot with a little additionl range added)
Adding an experimental can get even more range etc.
Or give it the much needed thermal vent to even be able to use it in some ships that would otherwise overheat on every jump. Like the T9.
The Beluga can run a bit warm too.
Pretty much all ships that have both FSD and drives one size bigger than their powerplant will do. I never understood why the Beluga hasn't got a size 7 plant.

Except the Dolphin. That thing can scoop from inside of a star and stay nice and cool.
It is so cool that it makes Zaphod Beeblebrox look flustered...
That isn't really an FSD issue, it's a "using an E grade powerplant because you didn't bother to refit it" issue.
Actually I have an A grade one, although G5 overcharged with thermal spread, because I run weapons and a beefy shield on it.
My T-9 with the double engineered FSD does get a bit toasty at jumps but it's more than manageable..
The votable Issue Tracker, Not a duplicate: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/63452
These FSD's have flip flopped between having experimental and not having them. It was decided a while ago that they would keep the experimental effects as they have fixed it in the past. Much like the Caustic Sinks Ammo engineering. Personally I would be more hesitant to spend the mats (like I sadly just did for 2 of them to find out it wasn't working anymore) if I wasn't able to add the experimental, especially for combat ships that can fit a size 5.

Thanks for posting link. I voted it up.
I voted in this one, but I suspect it has a wrong game version (3.5.01 - Live), while the duplicate had the right one (Odyssey Update18 (PC 4.0)). I 'm afraid this is not going to be noticed (and fixed) this way.
It's Fdev themselves that mark it duplicate and close it isnt it?
Yes, but in this case they might have decided to keep it on the same longer standing issue to keep the older reports. Helps since the issue has more votes (and therefore, higher internal priority).
When an issue is fixed by an update or stays open too long, the tracker (or the devs themselves) straight out close it. If this was kept open, it was either oversight or them wanting to measure how many people care about it. The issue being from a later update isn't going to make them less prone to fix. On the contrary, it's a reoccurring issue (like the "finishing/discarding a mission sometimes discards another mission").
I honestly have no idea, could also just be someone moderating the bug reports with no access to the development pipeline.
However the report is progressing: I voted when the pyramid had only three segments, now it's all full. That's a good sign I guess.
It would be nice if we got a word about this in the end of march stream, but that's obviously hoping for too much.
I guess as long as the majority discussing issues are determined nothing will be done, or discussed, Frontier need to do nothing?
