Forgot my AFMU and the FSD is giving me grief - Limping - any way to resolve?

Go on, point and laugh! :D - I left home without my two AMFUs

So went out to the fringe using neutrons and the usual boost shenanigans. then got the malfunction error, followed by a facepalm when I looked at my modules. - Anywho closest port is Colonia which is only 20kly away but FSD is really upset with me. Can this be resolved by any other means other than at a port or AMFU?

I'll get back at some point I guess.

I did a reboot but it's not broken enough.... yet :D

You star, glad I'm not the only one who forgets modules; went on a engineering run with my 'carry-all conda' and forgot to put the mod on it I wanted to engineer...doh.[noob]

Can't think of anything to help tho' looks like you gotta limp to dock for repairs...hope the malfunctions are kind enough not to drive you potty.[heart]

20k Ly on a duff FSD ... ouch :(

I 'lucked out' on my latest trip - thought I'd head out with one AFMU - because I'm careful, right?. Soon overheated at a star and the AFMU was the module that got hit ... so a detour to Colonia for me to pick up that second AFMU. Luckily I'd only just got to around Sag A*, so not too bad ;)

Too bad we can't transport modules in our giant ships to people who might need them in the big black..... You know like a repair man for hire? Here's looking at you Fdev....

- visited an engineer, back home - forgot to modify weapon
- visited an engineer, back home - forgot to apply experimental effect (the effect was a goal of the trip)
- visited an engineer, back home - forgot to pin blueprint (pinned blueprint was a part of the trip)
- visited an engineer, fully upgraded + experimental effect, back home - wrong weapon class

ps: only first case is a fiction.

As for self destruct, no thanks - I'm holding some juicy data :)

No more (non essential) neutron boosts for you, gather your data & limp it back to port in your own time. The best stories aren't written about people that made no mistakes & had an uneventful journey, they are written about people that made a huge mistake & lived to tell the tale ;)

No, those Repair Hull only.
So without any AFMU fitted, looks like you'll have to turn the ignition key on your FSD more than once ;)

PS. Unless you're highly proficient with Neutron Egress Procedures, I'd avoid cone boosts like the plague now.

Oh, and I managed to forget critical Modules several times at the beginning of a Colonia Transit. Luckily, I found out rather quickly every time.
- why can't I scan the sun in front of me? And why is there no honk? Oh wait, no Discovery Scanners.
- why doesn't the Neutron Boost work... 2nd attempt... nothing (?) Oh wait, no Fuel Scoop :D
- let's repair the FSD after several Neutron jumps... *ugh* wait... where did I leave my AFMU? ;)

No pointing and laughing, only best wishes. I manage to botch virtually every exploration trip I make, in some way or other. Mostly because dumb.

o7 commander. Sorry to see that limp's gonna be with you for a while.
