To better illustrate how travel times have changed since the launch of the game, and how distance might convert to jumps made instead, I decided to make a comparison of how jump ranges have changed on a fairly regular Asp Explorer build. (Not an Anaconda, because back around launch, they weren't as quick to get as these days.) However, I might be misremembering some of the changes, and some of them appear to be lost. Especially the Engineering 1.0 ones.
So, could anyone look through these builds, and see if I missed anything?
Also, note that the Collector limpet controller is there to simulate mass of the ADS (2T), and the Recon limpet controller, the DSS (1.3T).
With that in mind, here are the ships, a Coriolis build link, and their unladen / max jump ranges.
Note 2: the 2020's Asp uses a double-engineered FSD that was an exclusive reward for participating in a pair of CGs, which was not obtainable through regular gameplay until 2021-02-26.
So, let me know if something's off in there, if I made any mistakes and forgot about any changes!
