Im trying to set myself up to help.... but need to know what I need to equip with
The essential kit is a Fuel Limpet controller; grab a D1 it's all you need to be honest. 'D' means it's the lightest, so has the least impact on your jump range.
You'll need a cargo bay, into which you'll put fuel limpets; how many is entirely up to you but I'd suggest no less than 5. As they weigh 1t each, this 5t will effect your jump range.
The better the FSD you can carry, the better. In the 'Outfitting' screen each of your customisable modules will have a number, the number is the size of the module bay, so the bigger the number the bigger the unit you can put in*. The letter is the letter is (in simple terms) the quality of the unit. SO your A4 FSD is the best you can put into a 'Size 4' module bay.
Fuel Scoop. If you're looking to have an eye on Ratting you will need one. The bigger and better the fuel Scoop, the faster you can refuel at a star.
