Turn off the AFMUs and cargo hatch. If I need to repair, I drop out of supercruise and shut off thrusters.How the hell does that fly with 186% power usage
Anaconda exploration setup help
- Thread starter Poplin
- Start date
I would agree with that!
OP- you can find my current set up here - http://naamawing.org/current-ships/ but basically D everything and A3 power plant and D5 thrusters.
And also a shot of 'Texas' (my 'Conda) at Sag A* here (at the bottom) - http://naamawing.org/we-meet-cmdr-lonely-flyer-at-sagittarius-a/
The Anaconda makes a great explorer and also allows you to take unobstructed pics the same way as a Sidewinder.

Congratulations on making it to the core in 'Texas'
First Conda to reach it I wonder ??
The anaconda is really a good idea for exploring? Thinking about buying an asp specialy for exploring. what is better?
Asp is significantly cheaper to purchase, outfit, and operate. It has a lower max jump range than Anaconda.
...also the 7d fuel scoop is better & cheaper than the 6c
here's some data after my exploration in conda: http://youtu.be/otoObQutbcQ
and conda review with info about my explorer variant: http://youtu.be/SndArkhYn2c
I would love to go exploring in an Anaconda, look at the jump range
http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=306,,2-3I8S9Y8S5KD88I,544mpa2UI2jw 41ly on low fuel.
However I'm still 120 million shy after selling all my assets. Long term goal.

You should never fly without at least minimal shields, especially a ship as expensive as an Anaconda.
I've been to the core and back twice in mine without shields or problems. In fact, a shield generator makes your ship run hotter while fuel scooping so if anything I would say shields are a hindrance rather than a necessity while exploring deep space.
I'm using this
http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=306,,2-3IA09Y8S1kD88I,544mpZ7Q42jw2UI
39.26LY (41.02LY)
Costs 164M with 8.2M insurance
Here is my power management setup
3,400 LY away from Sol so far and everything is working as intended. I'll probably never use it again for combat with integrity loss but it'll stay a fine exploration/trading ship anyway afterwards
Cheers !
I'm currently exploring drunk, and would not be able to remember which button was mapped to heat sinks (even if I did have them).
Hull currently at 26% after turning off the sheilds and going for a wizz.... now doesn't sound as clever as it did at the time....
I'm glad I'm in a cobra!!

IDK what setup you're using, but the only time I have heat problems while scooping is if I charge FSD at the same time.
The shields I run only weigh 2T, dropping my max jump by 0.15ly.

I'm not saying I have problems fuel scooping, I'm simply saying that without a shield generator the Anaconda does not get as hot while fuel scooping as it does with one fitted.
Doesn't get anywhere close to hot even with one. I don't break 90% unless I charge FSD at the same time. The extra heat from a shield generator is a non-issue.

Awesome. But it doesn't change the fact that it still runs cooler without. Which is what I was saying.
