Engineer the FSD booster into a Mod

[Spacegamejunkie]

I would like to be able to Engineer the FSD booster into a Mod,
so I can get back a slot on my cramped ship.
Let us be able to go to an engineer who will rework the booster, and add it to a drive.
OR
Let it work like the SRV bay, where it opens a extra slot connected to the FSD slot.
Why must there always be a penalty, for doing more work in the game ?

Sure, as long as we get slots on our Armor so I don't have to use internal space for HRPs, Shield slots for SCBs/Shield Boosters, etc.

Why should I have to forgo other modules to max my ships tankiness? Not fair.

I think the term ‘penalty’ is a bit excessive, it’s a pay off for gaining all those extra ly per jump. Gain the ly, lose a slot.

Maybe time to have a Engineer that can ADD Slots to your ship.

Why ?
After going through all the work and time, to get something, be given a penalty for doing it.
Does every step forward, have to have a step back come with it ?

Well, I don’t see it as a penalty. I see it as fair trade. It’s going to be a squeeze on some ships but not others.

I suppose the other issue is, if an engineer folds the booster into your drive, are you going to be able to put another booster in an optional slot?

It’s like a sheet of paper isn’t it; how many boosters can you fold into it before your ship becomes a technological singularity ushering in a new age of boundless space travel?

Hey, great idea, let engineers add up to 5 boosters on one Drive.
Finally a contender for the Anaconda.

"Congratulations, you've unlocked a module that increases your jump range!"

"How could you do this to me?!?!"

I'm generally sympathetic to complaints regarding ED, but holy moly. This has to be the most ridiculous one I have seen yet. A module being a module is a penalty. That is going in the scrapbook.

I get that some people want a ship with 300,000mj of shields, hardpoints for 17 weapons including 10 class 4s, 257 internals and enough armour to make it denser than a white dwarf but really, the ships in the game provide god knows how many options already for creative equipment fit-outs. We don't need lolships.

Point of View Old Bean, when I went to get mine I thought it was a mod, not a module.

I think though that we accept that for any improvement there is always a price.

Put a bigger engine in your car.

Advantage, you go faster. Price you pay, you get through more fuel.

Put a 1kwatt sound system in your car.

Advantage, you get to hear the tunes you love at high volume. Price you pay, you look like a splasher when stuck in traffic or playing Billy Ray Cyrus.

It’s just natural.

So your complaint is actually that you misunderstood something entirely?

We probably need a warning screen.

 

[Starshot_Jigawatts]

I think it's entirely appropriate the FSD Booster takes up a slot.

Now, is a measly 10.5 Light Year boost worth giving up a whole C5 slot for? That's up for debate I guess.

 

[Spacegamejunkie]

Hey, what can I say, nobodies perfect.
Still, why take away a slot ? is it like "Bad boy bad boy what ya gonna do"

So your complaint remains that a module is a module. Consider me a follower.

No my complaint is that a Mod was turned into a Module,
remember it comes from a Blueprint, same as all other Engineer mods.

Here I was thinking Guardian FSD Boosters came from unearthing Guardian tech from Guardian ruins and applying said Guardian tech to existing human tech.

This just gets better.

I think OP is looking for this...
