Thanks, mate. Sounds somewhat useful, but can probably get along without one.

Is the special effect on the pre-engineered missile racks changeable, too, btw?

Yep, is changeable.

So for me as an Explorer, with say a 50LY jump range 'Conda, for each 1000LY plotted route it'll only take 18.1 jumps (so 19 jumps) instead of 20 jumps.............:unsure:

.................well, I go out Exploring with my Carrier & can hop on & jump up to 500LYs whenever I want, so that negates any advantage of even having one of these gadgets, that I wasn't bothered to do the CG for......

......now if it trebled or quadrupled my 'Conda's FSD range, then that would be worth being narked about not getting one.......if I did the CG;)

Would be no use for the Conda anyway, as it's size 5 and Conda runs on size 6.

It's not the same thing.

If you come back after a break, you can start earning credits like everyone else and spend it on anything you like, buy the same equipment like everyone else.

However, if you come back 1 day after such a CG has ended, you'll never be able to lay your hands on the special double engineered module, therefore you'll never be able to reach a level playing field state.

Unless fdev make the module in question unlockable for everyone, via tech brokers, for example.

And if you start playing one day after the CG, or in 6 months time, or next year sometime, you still won't have it...
'Level Playing Field' - so everyone should have everything ever in the game, all engineering materials, engineers unlocked, every rank, every ship and billions of credits the moment they start playing, for a 'Level Playing Field'?

I never said that 'level playing field' meant everyone getting unlimited credits the moment they start playing.

It takes quite a lot of time to earn X billion credits, still the playing field is level, as long as it's possible to earn X billion credits.

However, these modules are absolutely impossible to get once the CG is over afaik.

Well, we are now able to get the double engineered seeker rack from Tech Brokers (thanks to last week's CG) so that is already a 'first', who knows what is to follow?
I assume you did take notice of the CG's recently to know this little snippet?

And what about those of us who have CHOSEN not to participate, knowing that we wont get the module? The game isn't a level field now, making the CG modules available to all will not magically change that.

You want the special shiny? You do what is required. Don't do what's needed? You miss out.. And, frankly, this all just sounds like a bunch of people whining about their FOMO. Sorry that you can't recognise it for what it is and move on.

My god, how dare FD not hand out everything on a silver platter to folk that can't be bothered to join in.

I didn't join in as I was a little busy in Colonia... Life is like that 🤷‍♂️

But at least I know that the CM's commented on making the 'exclusives' available very recently (look forward to seeing 'how' they make the next CG go) so my FOMO is under perfect control 😤

What about them? That's totally irrelevant to everything I said.
