Neutron boost and FSD not charging...

[Jethro49]

So I'm flying back to home along a Neutron Highway since yesterday, a common trip of several thousands of LY.

This evening I return to my ship parked in normal space in the middle of nowhere and jump to another neutron star, honk, scan and enter the jet cone. And nothing apart the FSD taking damage... no charging... I try again, nothing again... I start to insult the ship : nothing of course (a tolerant nature, this computer btw). [hotas]

I took a look on the module panel, to find that....

Spoiler

... the fuel scoop is not activated. I turned it off yesterday to power the AFMU. So : in order to boost your FSD, your fuel scoop must be turned on [noob]

Heh, makes sense. I didn't know that. Probably because the fuel scoop is always on. You could always put the fuel scoop on a lower power priority than the AFMU, so it gets turned off and on automatically.

That's the way it should be done, but sometimes I prefer to micromanage the ship by myself. With astonishing results as you can see
