I find this "procedure" way off and a bit weird,imho.
Is coriolis accurate?

Just try them out. A lot of things aren't even really implemented on coriolis which is kinda obvious, like changing your pips does nothing to your engine speed, reducing the fuel in your tank does nothing to your jump range, etc..
@goemon - (hat tip) Inclusion of a Lightweight Railgun w/ Plasma Slug for fuel dumping, and a Fuel Tank suggestion when I was working out what I wanted the ship to be capable of in terms of number of jumps
@BL1P - (hat tip) pointing out the Engineering possibility for using an undersized Overcharged power plant to reduce mass
Recreating the ship in Coriolis caused me to realize that I have not optimized completely, so this build uses a 2A Overcharged 4 w/ Stripped Down instead of my current 3A Overcharged 3.

It doesn't include an SRV hangar, but does include a mining laser which boils down to personal preference, but I already have more distance than the build published in the quote and will be increasing it once I get this corrected. I am looking specifically at areas of stellar scarcity, and uninterested in a Fleet Carrier, so...
So you won't land anywhere? Weird way to Explore.Your build does not make much sense to me but to each his own
What is the furthest "plus" or "minus" you've gone? Have you been beyond the Thin Disk? Out to the edges of the galaxy, or is your range just for "travel"?So you won't land anywhere? Weird way to Explore.Your build does not make much sense to me but to each his own
For me, I am trying to get as far into the edge of the Stellar Halo as design and persistence in mapping can take me. An SRV may let me do things on the ground, but it also chops ~1.5 LY off of the ship's range.
While I know an FC could do it better, I also consider those to be a lack of comparative challenge. The recent CG to the top of the galaxy may have exceeded what my ship can do, but there was no skill involved. It was the Elite equivalent of the old D&D, "and the DM puts his fingers up your nose and says, Follow Me!"
I've become Elite in Exploration well before the FSS and the Probes,I've been three times to Ishum's Reach with three different ships,I've been to the four corners famous spots (Star One,Eriksson Star etc..etc,,) I've been as far up or down the Galaxy Plane and pushed my ship as far as it could go with FSD Injections in the Fringes,honestly 1.5 light years of jump range changes nothing in your ship's capabilities while landing on weird planets is very interesting,gone to see the farthest NSP too far out (Stolon Trees,Void Hearts etc..) but this is again about personal preferences, I don't care about FCs too while I could easily afford one with my balance,thta's it more or less my Exploration history.What is the furthest "plus" or "minus" you've gone?

If you're not building ships using the bugged resistances or some other meta-gamed thing, normally built ships in Coriolis are nearly identical in game, no re-jigging of engineering would be necessary.
The only thing I've noticed that doesn't match on my in-game vs Coriolis stats, over my 20ish engineered ships, is resting heat.
Coriolis thinks they're all about 4-12% spicier.
Im not convinced that's true. Few days ago i was building Krait for AX purpose using modified version of AXI krait mk2 starting axi build. Coriolis was showing my ship should have over 530 boost speed, and sadly in game it had only 505. I was planning of using that build fo fight Basilisks which are quite fast (around 530 speed too). Now i'm building FAS and i'm hoping it will be fast enough.
Yes, Speed/Boost/Jump Range are alwys less than what Coriolis reports,other weapon figures too.
IME, no.
Coriolis is reasonably accurate for spitballing a build, but when I get down to really refining numbers to get the most out of a build that I can, I find EDSY to be more accurate.
From what I've seen, Coriolis seems to have trouble correctly calculating the contribution of HRPs in particular if the build is loaded via a link, or reloaded from a saved build. Any engineering on the HRP must be reset and reapplied on each viewing (load/reload) for it to be accounted for correctly.
If I could get EDSY's accuracy with something closer to the Coriolis UI, I'd never need anything else. That said, once you get used to how EDSY works, it's not that bad, IMO.
