Playing around in Coriolis the
best I can do and still have all essential exploration functions is 78.64 lys, not even close. Am I just missing some obvious mass that I could strip off? Even if I ditched shield/SRV/repair it still falls short of 80 unladen
Yes, it is possible. But I should mention, that "possible" and "comfortable" -- are two different concepts
I took your build and stripped down shields, repair limpets, ability to boost and a bit of fuel tank space -- and here you go: 81,5 Ly unladen range. It is not something I would like for regular exploration, though
The only other thing I can think of is to reduce the fuel tank size, which seems a bit much for exploration. Some consider boost essential too for landings.
Yep, this is the right direction. Like I've just mentioned, such "record" builds are not at all about comfort, they are mainly about the number that can be viewed in the statistics bar
I should also mention, that there may be a slight terminological misunderstanding, for FDevs and coriolis.io have different views on what "unladen range" is. I believe, that number on the screenshot corresponds to what coriolis.io understands as "max range". So if you engineer your anaconda according to your build in the OP, you'll actually get "81,91 unladen range" on your screenshots.
