It certainly does. You were talking about trade-offs for different roles & purposes. Robustness, maintenance & repair.
I conclude you know very little about this game. Perhaps just seeking attention. Sad.
This is a review I recently wrote and its a shame, it had so much potential and still does.

See to me that is just an insult.
You even tried to calling me out on how big 200 light years is. Until I pointed out that 250 light years from sole still has about 260,000 in that radius as you could how big (even on galatic terms, how big 200 light years is)
You really need to be careful, when trying call people out.
First, I'll admit to not having read the thread so I may be repeating others' sentiments. My question to you is: if you are that disappointed, why are you still playing? This is not a flame, I'm curious - there's probably something else you can play that you'd find much more rewarding.
See you got it wrong again.
I was talking about it is "only jump range" that gets engineered as the no other mechanic in place to choose otherwise.
Even if you didn't max out your jump range.
You still chose to upgrade you jump range.
Exactly what I said people do.
100% it's always jump range that gets upgraded. There may be some that have something different, but they will be few and far between.

I have the same impression. These suggestions are coming thick and fast from someone who clearly hasn't done exploration, admits he hasn't got the hang of dealing with delivery mission pirates and hasn't actually described any significant game activity. This isn't an attack from me either, just an observation that such suggestions can't get taken seriously.
Mods: I'm not attacking the poster. I'm discussing what the poster himself has said.
And sensor range, and DSS probe radius, and thrusters, and hull strength, and choice of dirty or clean thrusters, and shields, and (probably one) shield booster, and power plant. Then there's modding the Artemis suit too. Stop it with these ignorant assertions.

Just becasue I disappoint it deoesn't mean it's all bad.
The main reason I stopped playing, was because of getting interdicted all the time on trade mission.
Once or twice if you have escaped. As the security forces would and should be on them by then.
But not, 8,9 or 10 plus interdictions by the same NPC. It just frustrating and annoying for me, game breaking in fact. I don't mind getting into a bit of bother with pirates, but when it is so poorly done that you constantly get repeatedly dragged out of super cruise or escape interdiction only to be interdicted again and again and again and again. No swear word off
And flying along in my fat and ugly T-9 bobbing along was my fun, minding my own business, slapping a few pirates now and then.
I would do exploring, but it's so undeveloped, it's boring, it's lackluster and the only real challenge is boredom
Elite in Exploring, you overcome boredom, well done

Its called progress, ships get better, what do yo want to do, take the offroad tyres and diff lock off my old Land Rover for a laugh?
Good luck in those hills.

And this stopped you from playing? really? its not hard to evade, really it isnt, my 8 year old can do it.

And what have they got to do with a choice between jump range and integrity?
Exactly my point. The game is so shallow that you don't need off road diff lock, off road tired get up that hill.
You can go up those hills in a mini with a tiny little under powered engine.
Thank you for finally pointing out how shallow ED is and why it is such a disappointment of game. And instead of being something special it's an under whelming meh.
Im not really sure you 'get' the concept of exploration, and after all this is an exploration game which is LYs ahead of anything else.

You are still wrong - unless you are only referring to exploration.
My CZ FDL (or Haz Res, naturally) - the weapons get swapped according to purpose, the rest remains

Ships get engineered according to purpose, you know this.
Im glad you are finally coming around too, yes a mini can do it but why would you when there is a Land Rover available?

Most of them are that kind of choice. For starters, once you've decided to have increased jump range on the FSD, there are not one but two special effects which could boost it further. The power plant one is a choice between undersized and overpowered, or stripped down, or low emission. Hull offers a tradeoff. The clean/dirty choice on A or D rated thrusters gives a lot of trade-offs, then there's "stripped down" or other specials. Power distributor offers similar choices. Shield size is a decision (are you planning a lot of landings), then there's "stripped down" or "fast recharge" etc.
If you've played for eight years and done any engineering for exploration you really should know all this.

You have proved my point even more.
The first person to get to Sag A, was done in an un engineered eagle. Great feat BTW, hats off to you.
What has flown so far over your head, is that have argued there is no point in Explore Class Ships/Off road vehicles, because you can do it anything without any consequence what-so-ever. Lets go to Sag A in a death machine and grief players arriving there for their first and ruin their experience, but why? Because there are no consequences in deep space exploration as it's just a shallow free for all.
The only class of ships, that are better than anything else in the game in class at doing their jobs, are the liners, because they are the only ones that can use luxury class cabins etc.
Wow, just wow.

And this is where the OPers idea falls flat on its face, engineering for exploration offers so much variety, folks build their own way.
With the exception of that silly 83LY Annie which i built for a laugh all my explorers are a balance between range and integrity, i always Armor/Thermal my Power Plants as a balance to LR/MM on the FSD and i never downgrade parts.
Plenty of ways to get out into the Black

Absolute garbage. Proving my point even more, of what the point in Explorer Class ships? If everything can it just as well, if not better. Absolute joke.My main exploration ship says hello from 24K Lys out
No cabins
O7
Ship looks nice though
