Am I the only one thinking that the only available Fuel Scoop engineer upgrade - "Integrity" is completely useless?
I didn't notice this upgrade until recently I saw it and got excited ( Fuel scoop is among few things you absolutely must have to explore the galaxy properly, and I'm the explorer by trade). When I look it up on INARA imagine my frustration. Like, I'm an Elite explorer, I was doing it for pretty long time and do I miss something? Why would I need Integrity boost by the cost of increased Power draw?
Ok, it's not for explorers, you can say, and you will be 100% right. But is is usefull for combat ships with Fuel Scoops? i have one in my combat Anaconda, but I don't see any reasons for me to bother with this upgrade. Nobody would target my fuel scoop subsystem as a primary target and if they do (why?!) I don;t really give a damn if it's broken. The possible situation when I came somewhere far to fight, and was utterly low on fuel (didn't scoop when I jupmed into system either, or the star was unscoopable), so I was not be able to jump anywhere without scooping is nonsensicle! And then again, I would rather use these couple of Megawatts on something much more usefull instead.
What did I think about those upgrades before cheking them out? Well, obviously!
- Lower Power draw by the cost of smth (less fuel/sec, increased mass)
- Higher fuel/sec value by the cost of mass or power draw
-Lower mass after all!
But none of them are available.
Do I miss something? May someone enlighten me, please?
