Yeah it's Engineered FSD V1.
Human broker. It's basically the best FSD you can have for this size (size 5). Which is convenient because the Krait Phantom uses a size 5 to, and it's arguably better than the asp (not by much, but still).

Is it? Both AspX and DBX also use a 5. I have no idea how the ship mass ends up interacting with the double-engineered drive, but I had heard that the DBX can beat the 'conda with it.

Playing in VR, the AspX view is unbeatable, but I would chose the phantom on flatscreen.

Just arrived - to purchase the FSD :

0/18 Datamined Wake exceptions
3/26 Tellerium
0/26 Electromechanical Arrays
3/28 Chemical Processors

Looks like I'm putting off the upgrade for now - will look out for these materials as I pootle along.
Oh well - no big loss - I didn't know about it 25 mins ago, so nothing to get upset about.

Thanks for the advice - at least I've learned something, and once I do my Colonia trip, will make an effort to get the above, and do a bit of engineering / Tec Brokering.

Heading to Colonia is a lot easier with the Colonia connection, and with a fuel sccop that isn't a class 1 or 2 Fuel scoop :)
Can't believe I did it back then - it was to provide supplies for the barman Chappy - I'm not sure I actually arrived in time - due to my ill-equipped ship :)

Maybe the DBX will beat conda if you focus only on range and nothing else. Not sure if you build them both as exploration ship with maxxed engineering though.
See, base conda have only 0.5ly less range compared to the DBX. While having +1.2ly through a bigger sized booster (size 5 instead of 4), so all in all, that's +0.7y range above the DBX.
If you build them both as exploration ship and max engineering, I'm not sure who win, but it's certainly going to be so close it doesn't really matter.

Conda will certainly beats phantom/asps though.
It's not big, however, and I prefer to play the phantom/asp for the reason mentioned earlier (easier to land, medium pad instead of large, not a whale in supercruise).

The DBX is my favorite bubble shuttle for odyssey as it can land anywhere and can go super far, but it's not very good for explo IMO. You have a smaller sized scoop, so scooping takes forever, and you have very limited optional slots. The asps have most of the essential, while the phantom can have them all. The conda can have pretty much everything you want and more.

You may not get the pleasure of being intensely amused by me streaming SC. Not that I'm saying there are issues or anything... Let's just say I get better FPS in Odyssey, in 4K without the AMD helper running, in a surface installation with 12 Scavs & fire, than I do walking around the bedroom in SC...

Frustration won: It has been deleted - I'll leave that PoS to its own fans!

Ouch !
Cheers for the update - I presume the armchair developers are all screaming about "the engine", 'incompetent developers' etc, as they do here ?

Sounds like I should give it a skip for another 10 years or so, and see how it's getting on.
