Right now the A class FSD is the only one worth using.
- Set each FSD size at the same optimal mass (for example S3 = 150 tonnes across the board)
- Higher grade drives use LESS fuel per jump instead of MORE (Fuel efficiency better with grade)
- Integrity is the same across the board with D class 25% weaker and B class 25% stronger
- D rating are the lightest with 25% less weight than A class
- B rating are the heaviest with 25% more weight than A class
- FSD cooldown is dependant on rating and starts at 14 seconds for E rated drives and 10 for A rated.
- FSD countdown is dependant on rating and starts at 14 seconds for E rated drives and 10 for A rated.
- Supercruise acceleration based on rating
Exceptions
C rated drives have a 25% faster cooldown and countdown between jumps but have a 25% less integrity than A rated drives and utilize twice the fuel of A class drives.
E rated drives are heavy, short ranged and not very fuel efficient but have a 25% greater supercruise acceleration compared to the A class.
So what would this mean? It means all drives of a certain size have the same optimal mass.
- A class are still king with optimal fuel economy, integrity vs weight
- B class is slightly shorter in range due to mass, lower fuel economy but MORE integrity
- C class is the quick jumping courier but with horrible fuel economy but can get around quicker with moderate range compared to the other
- D class is the lightest and could potentially be longer ranged than A class but with less integrity and worse fuel economy
- E class is the muscle car with poor integrity, range, fuel economy and heavy but have raw power to burn
