Ship Builds & Load Outs More fuel or bigger jump drive?

A5 is the best possible FSD you can put in an Asp. Not sure why you would need more than the 32 ton fuel tank it comes with. You may want to put in a fuel scoop though to eliminate all the fuel tanks. here's what I use for my exploring Asp.

Three things you absolutely must have when exploring: Discovery Scanner, Largest Frameshift Drive, and a Fuel Scoop. Fuel scoop to refuel at stars along the way, largest FSD for maximum range, and preferably the advanced discovery scanner to hit all the objects in the system in one shot.
This is partially being addressed in the upcoming releases: there this stuff call "Materials" and they can be used for temporarily boosting your Frameshift Drive (FSD), depending on the quality of material you have. This will give you significantly more jump range when you need it, but not all the time. I have a feeling there'll be combinations that will allow for 100, 200 and maybe even 500 ly jumps! At least, I hope there will be, the fringes of the galaxy are simply out of reach right now (I've spent a few weeks looking for ways to explore the outer limb of the Outer Arm, but there's starless sections that are too big to cross).

The alternative, and I hope they open this up, is to jump into empty space. If they did this, they could make it somewhat random where we landed (no gravity well to pinpoint our jump to), but would allow us to get closer to a fringe star! The risk would be getting stranded in the empty blackness with no way to get help...
You should also invest in a detailed surface scanner (DSS). You can only get your name on planets/stars if you scan them, if you have a DSS, I think you get more money per object and you might as well get the most bang for your buck.

Where do u get the build upload prog from? would like to upload my ASP build. Currently using it as a hauler for those nice paying 500k + missions. Jump range is set at 11 jumps fully laden 64t cargo around 280ly range.
Have 52t fuel tank but might dump that and use fuel scoop more, that said being able to get to my destination on one tank full has saved me from pirates once or twice (if I cant be
fighting lol)

I use Ed shipyard to check my builds along with future builds.....here's the link, good luck. http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=70f,mpT5QG5QG,2-5U5U5U2M3w5U5A,03w7QE02MmpT2Uc After you "build" your ship just copy the address bar and paste your ship build here.
