Is 54.71 the actuall range you need? so that if you get to 54.71 on fumes you can make the jump anyway?

MULTI-CREW!
I are pilot! I are not Miss Daisy!
I are also deflected .... I'll find me own scorched worlds! One without the need for heat sinks. Since I don't have any of those.
CMDR Halcyone has signed up, as a friend of the Order of Enblackenment. Brother Sabathius was interested, but is unlikely to earn a Conda in time. He will come along as far as he can to escort our High Priestess.
Now to get that range pushed up!

going on a dangerous ride wich i definetly wont survive, my debris and escapepod floating around in a distant darkness where no one could ever safe me? Sounds exactly like my kind of madness
especially that first Waypoint yells my name!
the question is tho, will i be able to engineer a ship with the required jumprange?
I dont enjoy the Engineer-thing at all so i probably wont make it in time... i also dont have any jumponium materials left but that would be manageable till january.
but the engineer grind man :<

Assuming you're level 5 with Farseer, you only need to concentrate on the FSD. Forget grinding for anything else, you don't need it for this trip.going on a dangerous ride wich i definetly wont survive, my debris and escapepod floating around in a distant darkness where no one could ever safe me?

I managed to get 40 rolls worth of materials for a L5 FSD upgrade in about 6 hours gameplay (in total). FD have made it much easier now thanks to multiple drops of specific items.
Prospecting :
Micromaterial:
Ship salvage (transport ships), Surface POI :
Micromaterial:
Scan high wakes outside a busy spacestation (the most tedious ones to grind for) :
Micromaterial:
Buy these from the market in Manditi :
Commodity:
If all else fails, join as crew aboard someones ship?

May the Void bless you with fruitful loins and a large family of Maximum Entropy Production Units!
no jumponium required as you can't combine the 2 anyway. 55ly jr + 300% = 220ly super jump
I'm trying to think through how to mod an Anaconda for maximum jump range. I would like one for normal exploration as well. I was thinking a really small shield but with a grade 5 mod for normal exploration (kinetic resistance for heavy landings?), but if it's a suicide trip then I could do away with that. The heavy duty armour mod that Chrystoph mentions could add durability to the hull instead without adding weight. Overcharging the power plant would mean we could bring a smaller one and lose weight. We won't need a detailed surface scanner because we won't be handing in any exploration data. Because it's only 3 kylies for this expedition, I think I will go for a smaller fuel tank to increase range and smaller fuel scoop to cut down on rebuy cost.
How many heat sinks launchers do we need? I only needed it once or twice on Distant Worlds so normally would only bring one, but if Hades Edge requires them then maybe I should bring as many as possible. I'll D-rate all the other components and not bring any weapons.
It should be quite easy if people can't afford it to earn the credits to get a D-rated Asp. Wing up with someone who owns a good combat ship for a bounty hunting CG and you could get yourself 25m to play with.

I'm seriously thinking of ditching the shields for this one, but it all depends on the FSD roll and how much extra I have to play with.
D3 shields take relatively very little off the jump range so I would fit those at least. You'll be thankful you did when you try to land at basecamp 1
And FD have hinted that there will be hostile probes out there after 2.2, so shields may become as essential as the ADS for explorers from now on.

Haha, yeah, that'd be great. Just a nice graveyard of parked ships with srv wrecks everywhere would be hilarious for someone to find later. Or for us to visit and "add to" (though if they did it the first time, I doubt they'd add more later.) Pity I doubt they'd all have the proper paint jobs, though. Then again, maybe we'll all choose to die somewhere that it'd make sense for all the paint to eventually get blasted off by solar winds or some such. Or maybe at Basecamp 1, where we can all melt into the landscape.
A couple of hundred ships, parked in a giant circle, with blown up SRV's strewn about inside the circle...
Z...
Heh, basecamp 3 is called the Anaconda's Graveyard. I've spoken to Dr Kaii about this soon-to-be special place and if DSE gets pretty big, I'm sure FD will work with us again and promote the event. They may even be persuaded to put some permanent crashed Anaconda wrecks out at the basecamp one day, as a memento. Lets wait and see
